School Committee Office Hours
Periodically, the Newton School Committee hold office hours to hear from constituents and the community. Office hours are not regular School Committee meetings and a quorum of members is not present. It is an opportunity for families and community members to ask questions about areas of interest within the Newton Public Schools. Please check back for information on future office hour dates.
