NOTIFICATION
OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETINGS
As required by law, a minimum of 48
hours' advance notice (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays)
will be given for any meeting of the School Committee, including all
subcommittee meetings. The only exception permitted is in case of
emergency, which the law defines as "a sudden, generally unexpected
occurrence or set of circumstances demanding immediate action."
Notification of the dates, times,
and places of regular meetings may be accomplished by periodic publication of
the schedule for the ensuing months. However, a minimum of 48 hours prior to
each meeting the Committee shall cause to be posted a listing of each subject
the Chair reasonably anticipates will be discussed at the meeting (the
agenda). Notification of a change in a regular meeting time, place,
or agenda and notification, including agenda, of a special meeting will be
filed with the town clerk at least 48 hours in advance, as required by law.
