Learning Lunch – School Committee Role in the MSBA Process

The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) process can feel complex, but school committees play a critical role at every stage. This Learning Lunch will walk participants through the MSBA process with a focus on the responsibilities, decision points, and best practices for school committees. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of governance versus management, how to work effectively with superintendents, building committees, and municipal partners, and what questions school committee members should be asking from Statement of Interest through project completion. Whether you are new to the MSBA process or looking to sharpen your oversight role, this session will provide practical guidance to support informed, collaborative decision-making.
