There is no live School Committee blog tonight (understandable - how many places can you really be at once! LOL) but will it be televised? Curious. Thanks!

Beth: Last I knew they were waiting for a part in order to broadcast live. Not sure if it has arrived; but the meeting will be taped and rebroadcast Wednesday night and again on Saturday.
Sorry, I can't live blog. Took the night off to be at an event with my daughter.
I will be at the school budget public hearing on March 27.
Is there an issue you are interested in? or just the budget presentation in general?

I am interested in the vote for free kindergarten and general budget info. Next year we are starting in the school system and I am very interested in how the money is spent overall and such. I will take a peek tonight and see if it is up and running.
Daughters come first - absolutely! :) Have a good night!

I will follow up with the school committee chair after the meeting and get info on the budget and the full-day K, which I know a lot of families in town are interested in.
