The Board's special meeting on November 16 will be the sixth public hearing on the state student assessment program that the Board has held since the spring. To accommodate the interest in this matter, we are holding the special meeting from 4-7 p.m. in the auditorium of Malden High School. This will provide our stakeholders and the public an opportunity to offer comments on the Commissioner's recommendation on student assessment. Individuals who would like to speak must register when they arrive and will be given three minutes to speak within the time allotted. Members of the public who are unable to testify are encouraged to submit written comments to boe@doe.mass.edu .
Please note that since the Board is devoting three hours on Monday evening to public comments on student assessment, we will limit public comments at the regular meeting on Tuesday to matters on the agenda other than student assessment.
Parking: The general public can use on-street parking on Salem Street, municipal parking lots located on Ferry Street and Pleasant Street, or the parking garages on Centre Street and Jackson Street.
