The district's main office is located in Delmar, New York. Jody Monroe is currently the Superintendent, as Superintendent Douglas was recommended by the board to step down when he did not receive tenure.
The Board of Education (BOE) consists of 7 members who reside in the Bethlehem Central School District. Members serve rotating 3-year terms. Elections are held each May for board members and to vote on the School District Budget.

The Bethlehem Central School District currently operates five neighborhood elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school across the district.
On December 2, 2003 District residents approved a construction and renovation project. This $92.9 million project includes additions, renovations and alterations to all school buildings, the bus garage and education center. It also includes building a new elementary school to accommodate the growing population, and computer network infrastructure improvements.
In 2013 residents passed a proposed project of more than $75 million.
