Recommended Procedure <br /> B. New Business <br /> District Governance Program Presentation <br /> The session began with a review of the School Committee operating protocols. <br /> The committee discussed their role and felt it is important to add a financial <br /> component bullet to the protocol. <br /> Communication was the next topic discussed. It has been strongly recommended <br /> by Town Counsel to use the Reading email address as the School Committee's <br /> primary account. It is the cleanest approach to receive and respond to emails. <br /> The School Committee wants to encourage the public to become involved as <br /> stakeholders. The Committee can refer questions to the Superintendent, Assistant <br /> Superintendent, Director of Student Services and Director of Finance. All <br /> correspondence is a matter of public record. <br /> Dr. Snow-Dockser feels it is important that the Committee has access to responses <br /> to public inquiries. The responses will be shared as informational purposes only. <br /> Page I 1 <br />
