READING PUBLIC SCHOOLS <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />SCHOOL COMMITTEE MINUTES <br />ORIENTATION MEETING MINUTES 22 JUNE 1991 <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />The School Committee members assembled for a second orientation <br />session for new members. The meeting was called to order at 9:10 <br />a.m. and all members were present. <br />In the course of the meeting, several issues relating to the <br />School Committee's meeting process were discussed. <br />WAYS TO REVIEW SCHOOL COMMITTEE POLICIES <br />In the past, policy review was to be an active School Committee <br />concern, but budget crises of the last two years have dominated <br />School Committee meetings and forced postponement of an orderly <br />review process. Among the ideas discussed were: <br />• give thought to a standing committee on policy review; <br />• commit to reviewing two policies or series a meeting; <br />o treat policy review as different from event - driven <br />deliberation; <br />o type policies into a word processor as part of the review <br />process - Stan suggests we check out document retrival <br />software. <br />Agreement: Mary Williams and Tim Twomey volunteer to be a Policy <br />Review Committee. They will set up a policy review schedule and <br />review it at an upcoming meeting. <br />BRINGING ISSUES TO THE FOREFRONT <br />The most effective way to bring an issue to the attention of the <br />full School Committee is to place it on the agenda by contacting <br />the Chairman and the Superintendent in advance. At the same time, <br />the member may want to sound out other members about the issues. <br />The Superintendent will keep the Chair informed of ideas offered <br />by members of the School Committee. <br />The members asked for School Committee meeting packets to be <br />delivered on Thursday in advance of each meeting. The <br />Superintendent will give this request high priority. <br />
