The Amity Board of Education voted at its Aug. 19 meeting to transition to two meetings per month. Sept. 9 marked the beginning of this new format.
The first meeting of the month will generally be held on the second Monday of the month. It will focus on district operations – specifically facilities, technology, finance, special education and policy. As a regular meeting of the board, it will also include public comment on items that appear on the agenda or fall under the board’s jurisdiction.
The second meeting of the month will generally be held on the fourth Monday of the month. It will focus on curriculum and instruction – specifically special presentations related to Amity’s academics, athletics and the arts (or 3 A’s), the portrait of the graduate, the student government report, superintendent’s report, curriculum and textbook adoption and special presentations. As a special meeting of the board, public comment will generally be limited to only those items on the agenda or may not be noticed at all. The agenda cannot be modified after posting. The Board intends that these meetings will be limited to about two hours.
The next special meeting will be Sept. 30.
