Worcester School Committee: Ides of March edition

The Worcester School Committee meets tomorrow night at 7 pm at Worcester Technical High School. You will find the agenda here
The report of the superintendent is on the role of guidance counselors in course selection in 9th grade.
Lincoln Street School is asking for approval of a uniform policy.
We have reports from at least three subcommittees (Accountability met yesterday; perhaps that's reporting out at the next meeting?).
We have some requests for reports on student assessment data.
We have two items regarding busing: one on kindergarteners and one on routes.
The process by which the Chief Academic Officer will be filled is being discussed (there's some hope we can post this position this weekend).
Two bookmobile items: one to urge sixth graders to enter the naming contest (rules here) and one to thank Holy Cross.
We are getting an auditing report (but we haven't yet).
Sullivan Middle would like to add band.
And Worcester Arts Magnet is asking for approval on a grant for music in the classroom.


I'm told the Mayor is getting to the meeting late, and, while I can participate and blog, I'm not going to try to chair and blog. I will try to catch up on what I don't get blogged if I end up chairing! And yes, chairing on the Ides of March...
