School Committee Finance Subcommittee Meeting, November 6, 2024

Finance Subcommittee Agenda

DATE: November 6, 2024

TIME: 5:30pm

LOCATION: Central Office, 57 Suffolk St, Holyoke MA 01040 

On March 29, 2023, Governor Healey signed into law a supplemental budget bill which, among other things, extends the temporary provisions pertaining to the Open Meeting Law to March 31, 2025. Specifically, this further extension allows public bodies to continue holding meetings remotely without a quorum of the public body physically present at a meeting location, and to provide “adequate, alternative” access to remote meetings. The language does not make any substantive changes to the Open Meeting Law other than extending the expiration date of the temporary provisions regarding remote meetings from March 31, 2023 to March 31, 2025.
