The School Committee is a body of the school district, not of the town: five members elected town-wide to three-year terms, with general charge of the public schools under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 37. Its page is on the district’s site, which is why it is not on the town’s list of boards.

School Committee Operating Protocols

Lunenburg School Committee Operating Protocols
Who We Represent
1. School Committee members are elected public officials, selected by their fellow citizens to act in their
interests and empowered to act as they see their duty to work for the children of their community.
Pertinent Points of School Committee Authority
1. We shall exercise leadership in vision, planning, policy, budgeting, evaluation of the
Superintendent of Schools, and advocacy of the district, consistent with the law and our
policies.
2. It is the Superintendent’s responsibility to oversee personnel issues and to manage the day-
to-day operations of the district. It is the School Committee’s responsibility to evaluate the
superintendent’s effectiveness in these matters in accordance with Department of Elementary
and Secondary Education’s standards.
3. We shall recognize that authority rests only with the majority decision of the School
Committee and we shall not make any independent commitments or take any independent
actions that may compromise the School Committee as a whole. The Superintendent takes
direction from the School Committee as a whole, not an individual member.
4. We shall follow the chain of command regarding questions, concerns or complaints and
direct members of the community to do the same.
5. We shall not use our positions for personal or partisan gain.
6. When serious issues arise, the Superintendent, not any School Committee member, has the
authority to investigate a complaint or concern. The Superintendent shall provide committee
members with his/her response/resolution within an appropriate timeline.
How We Treat Each Other
1. We shall debate the issues keeping an open mind to other member’s opinions and/or
positions.
2. We shall respect staff and fellow committee members at all times.
3. We shall work to build trust between and among School Committee members, the
Superintendent, the administration, faculty, staff and the community by treating everyone
with dignity and respect, even in times of disagreement.
How We Communicate
1. The Superintendent and the School Committee recognize the importance of proactive
communication. If School Committee members have questions or concerns, we agree to contact
the Superintendent well in advance of a meeting. We agree that there will be no surprises.
Lunenburg School Committee Operating Protocols
2. We shall channel requests for information through the Superintendent and/or the School
Committee Chairperson rather than directly to district staff.
3. We shall provide full disclosure of information and not withhold information from other
members.
4. The Committee shall advocate for the public schools and public education as ambassadors of
the school system by promoting support for public education and spreading the news of our
success. We shall always strive to project a positive professional image.
5. The Committee recognizes the Chairperson, or her/his designee, as the official voice of the
School Committee.
6. The Superintendent and the School Committee recognize the importance of working
collaboratively with Town officials to improve our schools and we shall actively seek ways to
enlist their support for our efforts. Town officials shall channel requests for information
through the Chairperson for consideration by the School Committee
7. Our seating plan allows all members to see and hear each other to facilitate effective
communication. The School Committee members, Superintendent, and Student Representative
will be seated at the table.
How We Operate
1. We acknowledge that a School Committee meeting is a meeting of the School Committee that
is held in public – not a public meeting. Our meetings will be recorded whenever possible and
we encourage public comment. Agendas and supporting documents for meetings will be posted
on the district website in advance of the meeting.
2. We shall conduct business through a set agenda. Emerging items shall be addressed in
subsequent meetings through planned agenda items unless it is determined by the School
Committee Chairperson that it would be detrimental to delay the issue until a subsequent
meeting. Requests to add items to an agenda shall be made to the Superintendent or the School
Committee Chairperson. All items for a School Committee agenda must be in accordance with
the law.
3. The agenda will include public comment promptly at the beginning of the meeting to allow
the public to address agenda items and matters under the governance of the School Committee.
A second public comment will be included at the end of the meeting, before Topics for Future
Discussion, to allow the public to comment on items relative to this meeting, items not on the
agenda, or items for future discussion. Comments must be limited to matters that fall under the
governance of the School Committee.
4. Public comment periods will be limited to 10 minutes and can only be extended by a majority
vote of the Committee. Individual speakers will be limited to 3 minutes. Written public
comments may be submitted to the Chair.
5. Our meetings will be guided by Roberts Rules of Order.
6. We shall strive to make each meeting effective and efficient giving each member an equal
opportunity to express their views and opinions and to relay their input in a concise and topic-
Lunenburg School Committee Operating Protocols
focused manner. No one member should monopolize the discussion. All remarks must be
directed through the Chair. Remarks must be courteous in language and delivery.
7. We shall make decisions based on information and not on personalities after considering
data, the Superintendent’s recommendations, proposals, and suggestions. We will vote our
convictions, avoid bias, and uphold the decision of the majority of the Committee once a
decision is made.
8. We shall exhibit professional conduct and behavior.
9. We shall attend meetings well-prepared to discuss issues on the agenda and to participate in
efficient decision-making.
10. When we are in committee we will remain in our committee member role throughout the
meeting.
11. We shall ensure that we do not breach the open meeting laws by deliberating in any format
outside of duly convened meetings of the committee.
12. We shall respect the confidentiality of Executive Sessions.
13. Our actions shall be consistent with the core values of the district, and be consistent with
our vision.
14. We recognize the importance of honoring our agreed upon operating protocols and we agree
to take responsibility for reminding one another when we get off track.
How We Will Improve
1. All new School Committee members will attend an MASC orientation session as soon as
practicable, but within one year of being elected.
2. All members will be open to continued personal growth through participating in workshops
or training opportunities.
3. We shall review and revise operating protocols annually through a workshop.
4. We shall set goals annually and discuss progress.

The town’s minutes are the record: a vote from them carries the minutes’ own words, checked verbatim. A vote from the recording only was written by a language model from machine captions — a motion as heard, and “not audible” a finding about the recording — and links to the second in the video. Both records are read as they arrive and joined here, whichever came first.

Measured from this board’s own posted agendas over the last 5 budget cycles (July to June): the dates each subject appeared. The “expect” column is the typical first and last date across those cycles — a scheduled subject, not a decision.

A cycle is named for the fiscal year it builds: FY28 is the budget being built now. Read off the agenda text with a word search, so a subject named differently on an agenda is missed and one mentioned in passing is counted.
