The Middletown Board of Education consists of nine (9) members elected by voters residing within the district’s boundaries (i.e. within the City of Middletown, CT). Board Members serve four-year terms without pay. While candidates run for a vacancy associated with one of the two political parties (i.e. Democrat or Republican), members do not represent specific groups; rather, each represents Middletown Public Schools at-large.

Application of such policies and regulations is an administrative function. The Superintendent is responsible for the formulation, issuance, amendment, and deletion of administrative regulations to implement the policies of the Board. The Superintendent shall determine the need to bring to the attention of the Board any new, revised or deleted administrative regulations.The Middletown Board of Education shall concern itself only with broad questions of policy and not with administrative details.
