Community survey update

The School Committee's meeting tomorrow night will include an update by Superintendent Liz Sorrell on a community survey commissioned after the defeat of the elementary school project at the polls earlier this year. Conducted by an independent consultant, the survey will try to determine residents' thoughts on important local issues. Also on the committee's agenda is a report on MCAS results by Science Department chairwoman Shari Fedorowicz and a report on Advanced Placement and SAT results by Carver High School principal Scott Knief. An update on school facilities and the department’s budget will be presented by Patrick Meagher, assistant superintendent for business and finance. The meeting is also scheduled to include a second reading and a vote by the committee on revisions to the schools’ policy on bullying. The School Committee meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the high school library. - Robert Knox
