| Katherine Craven, Chair (Center-Right), at the June BESE Meeting in Revere June 2019 (Others, L-R: James Peyser, Secretary of Education; Jeff Riley, Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education; James Morton, Vice Chair) |
This month, BESE kicks off the 2019-20 school year. A recent communication from Commissioner Riley's office informed the Board that the Tuesday, September 24, 2019 Regular Meeting will be held at Taconic High School in Pittsfield.
When Katherine Craven was with Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA Executive Director 2004-2011), she said that having monthly meetings in school districts across the state provided her with a valuable perspective. When Governor Baker appointed her Chair of the Board last March she said she would bring that practice to BESE meetings .
True to her word, our first meeting on the road was last June in Revere. It was held in Revere Public Schools' new Rumney Marsh Academy middle school.
There will not be a Special Meeting on Monday night, September 23.
The Board's September Agenda is not yet posted.
