School committee meeting
I went to my second-ever school committee meeting last night -- it's a monthly affair, and most of it is open to the public. I went ostensibly to show support for one of our SEPAC members who offered a situation report about our first meeting, although I arrived too late to see her present.
These things are quite interesting, though, because they're chock full of information about what the schools are doing, from budget to personnel to things like professional development and the recently-instituted Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) system.
Anyhow, I plan to continue going to these -- I figure it can't hurt to have more information to understand how the school committee works.
