Superintendent and the DCS
Board of Education. The superintendent is appointed by the board and runs the district's day-to-day operations. As of August 1, 2025, Keith Pomeroy is the district's superintendent. Members of the board are elected to 4-year terms by the citizens of the district. Each school year, a senior at
Hayes High School is appointed by the school's principal to serve on the board for the duration of the school year. While this student does not have voting powers on the board, they do serve as a voice for the students of the district. The 2025–2026 academic year student board member is Mazie Fitzharris.
