The Reading School Committee (SC) is meeting on Thursday March 16, 2023. The meeting is being held at 7pm at the Reading Memorial High School (RMHS) library and will be broadcast by RCTV and also be accessible via zoom. Links to watch are listed below, along with selected images from the packet and agenda.
The packet includes the following information on agenda items. Probably one of the top items of interest for many parents will be the proposed school calendar for 2023-2024, because it contains some changes from the past, so I have included the calendar and accompanying memo with this post. There are some definite improvements in the organization and readability of the calendar.
— Personnel quarterly update, including data on new hires, departures, substitutes, etc. (presentation on pages 11-16 of packet)
— School Calendar updates (packet pages 18-20)
— RISE director search process (p. 21-22)
— Quarterly financial update (p. 24-34). Bottom line is that they project special education cost center to run a surplus of $325k.
— Policy updates – too numerous to list details here but you can review at pages 35-52 of packet. The agenda lists the policies being reviewed and approved.
