Needham School Committee, 11/10/26

In the wake of a successful tax override vote, and with the funding assured, the school committee received an update on the road ahead for the Pollard project. They also heard presentations from the Special Education Parent Advisory Council and the Intensive Learning Center. Perhaps the most important discussion came late in the evening when they received a recommendation for the school child abuse and neglect policy.If you click on the agenda items, the video will queue in a new window.
