Please join other parents once again at the School Committee meeting this week on Wednesday, February 15, at 26 Court Street. The public portion of the meeting will begin at 5:30 pm. Please note the earlier start time. You do not have to arrive exactly at 5:30 pm, but PLEASE NOTE: the public comment period will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. The Committee will be in private, executive session from 5 pm to 5:30 pm.

This time, Kieran Fitzgibbon, parent of a K2 student, will deliver a statement on behalf of the Curley parents during the public comment period.  The rest of us (in our Curley shirts) will stand in solidarity behind him as he raises concerns about the impact of the proposed budget cuts on all of our children. We will be joined on Wednesday by our City Councillor Matt O’Malley. Scores of parents have already gone to the two previous meetings, one on January 18, and the second on February 15. Please come – we really want to fill the room and demonstrate the strength of our parent community.

New Rules for Public Comment and Conduct were approved at the last school committee meeting, which included this change to the start time of the public comment period.

If you need a Curley shirt, one may be available for purchase at the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you and having another strong turnout this week. Our presence is being noted well outside of the walls of Winter Chambers at Court Street. Let’s keep raising our voices as committed advocates for our children and school!
