School Committee

The next school committee meeting will be held on
April 8th - Agenda

In light of the recent teacher's contract negotiations the Tiverton School Committee feels obligated to provide the residents of Tiverton with the data it is using to project departmental expenditures for FY09 and FY10.   We have compiled a summary of financial information that we have been using to make decisions during contract negotiations.  It is our hope that by sharing this information with the residents of Tiverton, you will better understand our position and the challenges that we will be facing.   Please click here for the information.

Anyone may address themselves to the subject matter of each item of business appearing on the posted agenda immediately before such matter is taken up for disposition by the School Board. (Policy 732). Since the School Board is a deliberative body, it should consider the input from individuals, but avoid extended debate with them whenever possible.
