Dear Fort River Elementary School Community:

Meetings of the School Committee are generally open to the public and media representatives; however, the committee has the right to convene in a closed executive session when it meets the following procedural conditions imposed by state law:
State law (MGL 30A:21) puts specific limitations on the purposes for which executive sessions may be convened. The School Committee is a public body, and a public body may enter executive sessions only for the following purposes:
The Superintendent and/or his designee will attend all executive sessions except those which pertain to the Superintendent's employment.Accurate records of the proceedings conducted in executive session will be kept and may remain secret only so long as their publication would defeat the purpose of the session. The committee, or its Chair, will review executive session minutes for possible declassification at reasonable intervals and at least once each year. Then the purpose for which a valid executive session was held has been served, the minutes shall be disclosed unless one of the exemptions under state law (MGL 4:7, 30A:22f)warrants continued non-disclosure. Such determination will be announced at the Committee’s next meeting and the announcement will be included in the minutes.
Executive session minutes are approved in executive session and are reviewed for declassification during meetings in executive session. (MGL30A:22f-h)
Upon request by any individual to inspect or copy the minutes of an executive session or any portion thereof, the Committee will respond to the request in 10 days following receipt and will release any such minutes not covered by a lawful exemption. However, if the Committee has not yet reviewed the minutes of that Executive Session, the Committee will perform the review and release the non-exempt minutes, or any portion thereof, not later than the Committee’s next meeting or 30 days,whichever occurs first.
All votes taken in executive session will be recorded roll call votes, and will become part of the minutes of executive sessions.
Current contracts negotiated with employee unions require some grievances filed by an employee to be heard before the appropriate School Committee as one of the steps in the grievance procedure. The School Committee has no power to rule on an employee’s grievance. Personnel matters are confidential, and such grievance hearings are closed meetings.
MGL 4:7, 30A:18, 30A:20, 30A:21, 30A:22, 30A:23
