Board of Ed meetings

The state Board of Education is having a special meeting on Monday to consider changes to charter school policy per the amendments in the 2010 ed law. They aren't taking public comment at this meeting (but you can always email them!). The meeting is Monday, October 18, 5-7 pm, at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in Malden. The agenda is here.
The BoE's regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 8:30 am to 1 pm, at Urban Science Academy in West Roxbury. The agenda for that is here. There is, as per usual on their agenda, a time for public comment on this agenda. They are considering the Common Core, teacher evaluation, and their FY12 (yes, '12! It isn't too early!) budget.
