The Region 15 Board of Education is pleased to be the bridge between the community and the schools. The 10-member board is comprised of six Southbury and four Middlebury representatives elected to four-year staggered terms. Student representatives are appointed to be non-voting members of the Board of Education and serve as liaisons between the student body and the Board of Education.
The Board meets twice each month, usually on the second and fourth Mondays at 7:30 p.m, to hear public comments, conduct business, and to hear reports from Board Committees and school administrators.
Board meeting agendas are posted on our website and at Middlebury and Southbury Town Halls.
