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.

UPDATE (July 13, 2022):

The School Committee may hold in-person meetings as well as virtual meetings or a combination of the two. Please refer to the Notice and Agenda for information regarding specific meetings posted on the City's Electronic Posting Board or the School Committee Calendar.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

In an effort to balance our obligation to hold public meetings with the equally imperative duty to prevent and slow the spread of COVID-19, the School Committee is making two important changes to meetings to facilitate participation while adhering to state guidance on prohibiting gatherings of more than 25 people and practicing social distancing. Please see below for more details.
