School Board
Board Members
The Saco School Board by policy, state law, and City charter are charged with the responsibility of setting policy and assuring that the School Department is well run. The School Board does not manage the day-to-day operations of the School Department, nor do members become individually involved in addressing parent complaints or employee issues. School Board members’ authority is confined to when they meet as a board of the whole in public session. Therefore, they do not weigh in on policy matters as individuals, but rather as a board in public session.
Any suggestions or concerns should be discussed with the teacher/staff of the School Department directly involved. Then, if necessary, you should talk with the building principal or department administrator. If there are still concerns after addressing them at the school level, please contact the Superintendent of Schools at 207-284-4505 or email superintendent@sacoschools.org.

Public Comment and Public Hearing Participation
Members of the public may attend School Board meetings in the City Hall auditorium. To speak during public comment, use the sign-in sheet located by the entrance. When the Board reaches Public Comment or votes to open a Public Hearing, members of the public will be allowed to speak. Each member of the public who participates in Public Comment or a Public Hearing is asked to keep their comments to a maximum of three (3) minutes.
