Board discusses schedule changes, field-trip planning and upcoming charter hearing

Board members and staff discussed administrative items including proposed changes to the committee meeting date, circulation of field-trip suggestions and an upcoming charter school hearing to be held in the boardroom on Friday.
A staff member asked the board to move a committee meeting from the 23rd to the 30th because the superintendent will be in Boston for a national superintendent’s convening; board members were asked to work with staff on the proposed change but no formal vote was recorded. The superintendent said the charter-school hearing for the Jackson Museum Charter School will convene in the boardroom on Friday, with people arriving around 9 a.m. and an expected duration of about two hours.
The staff member also invited board members to review a new office space demo and mentioned field-trip suggestions would be circulated for board input. These items were discussed as administrative business; no binding decisions, budgetary commitments or policy changes were recorded in the transcript.
