Board of Education Community Conversations
The Board of Education is committed to engaging community members in the kind of two-way dialogue that can’t be accomplished in regular board meetings. To that end, this is a first in a series of community conversations to occur at regular intervals throughout SY 23-24. The purpose of these first meetings is to discuss: Board Governance.
The meetings will be held on Sept. 30 (10:30-12 at Paul Revere School), Oct. 3 (5:30-7 at Lawton Alternative School), and Oct. 5 (5:30-7 on Zoom, link TBD).
2023-24 Board Governance Calendar
This calendar notes the major topics and decisions that will be discussed at each board meeting during the 2023-24 school year. The focus for each meeting is determined based on required topics that must be presented to the Board of Education (i.e. interim financial reports), commitments the district has made (i.e. recommendations for parent advisory councils), and our progress monitoring efforts.
