Meeting Location:Town Hall, 333 Washington Street
Room #:James F. Walsh School Committee Room, Town Hall
Agenda:Attached and Copied Below
Note from the Chair: DOCKET NOTE: All times are approximate.
The School Committee will be using a new arrangement of its docket items in order to allow meetings to begin earlier and to place less of a burden on staff who must stay late on meeting days. The start of our regular meeting will be 6 p.m. Our intention is to carry out administrative business in the first hour, including in most cases our consent agenda, subcommittee reports, and executive sessions when needed. We will continue to have public comment at or very near 7 p.m. and follow that with scheduled program reports, the Superintendent’s report, and related discussions. We hope everyone will find this arrangement satisfactory and an improvement for both the public and our hard-working PSB staff.
