Bloomfield Board of Education

What Bloomfield Board of Education does

Bloomfield Board of Education, operating as Bloomfield Public Schools, is a Connecticut public school district that governs K-12 education for residents of the Town of Bloomfield. The district serves approximately 2,500 students across eight schools spanning early childhood through Grade 12: Wintonbury Early Childhood Magnet School (PreK-K), Laurel Literacy Academy (K-2), Metacomet Elementary School (grades 3-5 following 2026-2027 reorganization), Carmen Arace Middle School (grades 6-8), Bloomfield High School (grades 9-12), and the now-closing Global Experience Magnet School (GEMS) and Carmen Arace Intermediate School. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education chaired by Lynette M. Easmon and led by Superintendent Dr. Tracy Youngberg.

The district's operational portfolio extends beyond standard academic programming to include the Bloomfield Extension Program (a parent-paid before- and after-school enrichment program for K-7 students), STEAM Into Summer, the School-to-Career program delivering industry-recognized credentials such as OSHA 10, JROTC, performing arts, the Donald F. Harris Sr. AgriScience & Technology Center with adult community classes, food services operating under the federal Community Eligibility Provision, and student transportation contracted through Dattco School Bus. The district's technology backbone consists of PowerSchool for student information management, Apptegy for website and mobile app delivery, and Thrillshare for community communications.

Bloomfield Public Schools is funded primarily through local property taxes, Connecticut state education aid, and federal grants, with ancillary revenue generated by the Extension Program and other fee-based programming. It is not a privately owned or investor-backed entity; rather, it is a government sub-entity operating as a non-profit public service organization. The district pursues community-engagement and partnership-led growth across higher education (University of Hartford), public health (Hartford HealthCare), STEM (Connecticut Science Center), literacy (Bloomfield Public Library, Read to Grow), and athletics, while undergoing grade-level reorganization for the 2026-2027 school year to optimize resources amid declining enrollment.
