The meeting was conducted in a hybrid format: some of the School Committee members, Central Office personnel, and key guests were in the Council Chambers; the remainder, along with the public, were remote via conference bridge, all to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.
I’ve split the just almost three hour meeting into three logical segments:
- *** First *** - covers the opening through the Keller Elementary presentation (approx 39 minutes)
- Second - School BUdget - first view- Supt Ahern and her staff walk through the budget highlights (approx. 53 mins)
- Third - from the return to in person learning plan through to the end of the public meeting (approx 85 minutes)
The show notes contain links to the meeting agenda and to my notes. The meeting packet folder will hold the other documents released for the meeting.
Let’s listen to this segment of the School Committee meeting of Mar 9, 2021
