Committee corrects minutes language, clarifies 'form' versus 'survey' in public feedback

Sedgwick School Committee · August 31, 2026

Summary

A committee member asked that the minutes replace the word 'survey' with 'form' to avoid implying a separate survey had been run; the committee approved the amended minutes by voice vote.

During approval of the Aug. 17 minutes, a committee member noted the minutes referred to summer feedback as a "survey" though it had been an open form. The member asked that the minutes be amended to replace 'survey' with 'form' so readers would not assume a separate, structured second survey had been conducted.

"It was referred to the feedback we collected in the summer as a survey, but it was actually more of a form," the member said, arguing the phrasing could mislead people reviewing the minutes later. The committee accepted the clarification and then voted to approve the amended minutes.

The committee’s approval of the amended minutes closed that procedural item and moved business forward to surplus items and presentations.
