Parents urge more transparency; town council president praises town–school collaboration
Summary
During public comment, Lara Ricci urged the new and returning board to improve transparency and communication with parents; Steven Polichuk, Morristown town council president, thanked the board for ongoing collaboration on local projects such as tree planting.
Public comment at the reorganization meeting included appeals for greater transparency and positive feedback on existing town–school partnerships.
Lara Ricci, who gave her address as 71 Madison Street, said she was "here to support as a parent" and urged the new and returning board members to communicate more with parents and the community, calling for transparency and more meetings to address students’ needs both inside and outside the classroom.
Steven Polichuk introduced himself as a Morristown resident and the town council president and congratulated the board on its new composition. He cited recent cooperative efforts—specifically tree-planting projects at local schools—as examples of productive town–school collaboration that he hopes will continue.
The board reminded commenters that the meeting is video recorded and that the board cannot discuss specific student or personnel matters during public comment; speakers were asked to provide their full name and address and to limit remarks to three minutes.
