Next School Committee Meeting 10/5 (NEW)
Should our preK program be centralized at the Robinson School Building Project school or spread across multiple schools? The Committee will vote on its recommendation and discuss other questions related to enrollment for the project building at our upcoming meeting on 10/5 at 7pm (in person at the Millennium Building or online). Come by early at 6pm for office hours with a committee member.
The Committee is currently accepting public comment on two policies discussed at our 9/22 meeting: the Protect Act policy (P1409) and updates to our Police policy (P1401). You can read those policies and share your thoughts on our website.
Lastly, we hope you’ll join us for coffee with Superintendent Chew next Friday, 10/9, at 12pm at the Millennium Building!
