• At their most recent meeting, Needham School Committee members discussed absenteeism within the schools and the supports available to students with long-term absences.

It is no longer about whether a child is in school or out of school, but why it is so, and making sure that they have appropriate support to do the right thing, under the right circumstances for the right reason. How does a school system encourage student involvement, and not create unwanted fallout for either the student or their peers? These are just some of the questions that were examined when the school committee heard from the high school and district leaders at their June 4th meeting.
