The district is governed by an elected School Committee and managed by a Superintendent of Schools. Revenue is not publicly disclosed in the available source materials. The district maintains strategic community partnerships with the Plymouth Education Foundation, Plymouth Family Network, Plymouth Public Library, Town of Plymouth, Old Colony YMCA, and the Plymouth Youth Development Collaborative.
