This Learning Lunch will provide a practical overview of Subcommittees\, including how subcommittees are properly formed\, what meeting and posting requirements apply\, and how they differ from advisory groups or individual member assignments. \nParticipants will also explore common and effective subcommittee models used by school committees across the Commonwealth and discuss how these structures can help streamline committee work\, deepen focus on complex issues\, and make full committee meetings more efficient. Whether you are new to a school committee or considering rethinking how your committee uses subcommittees\, this session will offer clear guidance and real-world examples you can bring back to your district. \nRSVP below or click here.
