Worcester School Committee meeting this Thursday!

The Worcester School Committee meets this Thursday at 7 pm at City Hall. We're off our normal first and third Thursday schedule due to last week's primary.
You can find the agenda here
First up, we have one of my personal favorites, the opening of school report. No back-up on this as of yet.
We have a citizen petition on transportation (it's a request for an additional bus stop).
We have the new appointments; congratulations and welcome all!
We've got a response coming back on the singing of the National Anthem at our meetings: Chandler Elementary is coming in September 20; Canterbury on October 18; May Street on November 15; and Quinsigamond on December 20.
We have a list of recently repainted crosswalks
We're reviewing the school-parent compacts, and the summer reading.
We're receiving a grant for $80,000 and emergency kits worth $99,985.99. (They come with duct tape, so they're clearly good stuff!)
We've got some recognitions coming up.
And--you asked!--we're asking about filling out forms online and about data walls.
Finally, the report of the Ad-hoc Committee on an exam or IB school.
7 pm at City Hall!

Also, please note that the Citywide Parent Planning and Advisory Council is holding to their regular meeting schedule of the second Thursday, so they are meeting AT THE SAME TIME. In the interest of accessibility, they've moved their meetings downtown to the Durkin Administration Building. Parents and interested community members, please come!
