Early February Worcester Public Schools updates

 largely gathered from the weekly School Committee update from Dr. Monárrez but also elsewhere. 

Principal hiring has been more than opaque these past years, so I thought others might be interested in the hiring process being followed for principals in the ten schools and programs that will be open next year:

Families in the above schools received a call and email a few weeks back, inviting them to apply to be on the initial interview committees. 

Thursday, principals, district administrators, police liaisons, and Worcester Emergency Management attended a full day overview training of the emergency response system developed and codified by the I Love You Guys foundation; remember, that's the standard emergency response protocol the district is now using. 

For those who like to get such things on your calendar ahead: 

• Finance and Operations next meets Monday, February 13 at 5:30 pm
