The Superintendent is Stephen Young. The Superintendent is the Chief Administrative Officer of the district and is responsible for the day to day operations of the district in addition to administering policies of the Board.
[edit] Schools
The district is currently served by one elementary school: Berlin Elementary School. On March 9, 2010 a letter was sent home to the parents of Grafton Elementary School students stating that Grafton Elementary would close in June 2010 at the conclusion of the school year. This would centralize all students in the district.[5] Stephentown Elementary School was closed in summer 2009 due to low enrollment. Berlin Junior/Senior High School is the lone upper level building.[6] Each building has its own building principal.[1]
