FM #794 - School Committee Mtg - 05/10/22

Published on: 13th May, 2022

This session of the radio show shares the regular School Committee meeting held Tuesday, May 10, 2022. 

6 members were present in Council Chambers (1 absent)

Quick Recap:

  • FHS student updates, Superintendent report highlight a number of events and accomplishments around the district (Superintendent report usually posted day after meeting but last couple are missing)
  • FHS Unified basketball team appeared in Council Chambers. They will represent MA in the Special Olympics this summer. A special recognition for a program that has made great strides through the years and around the district
  • Presentation and discussion on “Approaches to Student Behavior” a highly interesting and engaged conversation. Very impressive approach, note that it does take time (i.e. people power) to implement and manage.
  • The School Committee entered executive session to continue work on their contract negotiations. 

The meeting opened at 7 PM and ran approx. 2 hours 30 minutes.
