Press Release from Reading Public School Committee Chair Chuck Robinson

The School Committee has determined that at the December 19, 2019 meeting we inadvertently went out of compliance with open meeting law. After an appropriate Executive Session to discuss contract negotiations, we returned to open session to announce the result of the vote, which was our decision to extend the Superintendent ‘s contract. However, we did not re-vote in public session as we should have. This was an honest mistake, and one we will not repeat.

On January 2, 2020 we will meet in open session at 7:00 pm in the Patrick A. Schettini Library Media Center at Reading Memorial High School to hear a motion to extend the Superintendent’s contract by one year and vote in public. As always, at the outset of this meeting there will be an opportunity for public comment. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Reading Public Schools Administration Offices at 781-944-5800.
