ORIENTATION SESSION MINUTES 20 APRIL 1991 <br />THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEMBERS' ROLES ON VOTING WERE REVIEWED: <br />o The Superintendent's role in personnel recommendations. <br />o Screening commmittee steps in the process of selecting new <br />administrators. <br />o Voting on motions and the implications of committee <br />members not making a motion. <br />o Chairman does not make motions, but will talk on issues, <br />usually after most members have spoken. Since the <br />chairman is the eventual spokesman for the School <br />Committee, the chairman's role may be to facilitate and <br />clarify discussion and opinions from other members first <br />- - then be free to offer views before the School <br />Committee proceeds to a vote. <br />The School Committee reviewed HOW TO GET IDEAS AND ISSUES ON THE <br />SCHOOL COMMITTEE AGENDA. The most convenient way is to speak to the <br />School Committee Chairman or the Superintendent. The Committee <br />talked about how to proceed with long range agenda planning and how <br />and when to discuss and set priorities for the next budget year. <br />These ideas will be discussed further at an upcoming School <br />Committee meeting. <br />o What constitutes an open meeting; posting of subcommittee <br />meetings. <br />o How to discuss School Committee leadership and election of <br />...,,Y, officers in light of the open meeting law. <br />This orientation and exchange of views for doing School Committee <br />business was viewed by the School Committee members as helpful and <br />the School Committee set tentative plans to have another session on <br />Saturday, June 22nd. <br />Time being 12:00 noon, the School Committee adjourned. <br />Respectfully Submitted <br />Robert J. Munnelly, Ed. D. <br />Superintendent Of Schools <br />Secretary To The School Committee <br />
