What is open meeting law?

The provisions of Massachusetts’ “open meeting” laws are quite complex and all-encompassing (Mass. General Laws c. 30A, sec. 8-14).  In general, School Committee members (and Subcommittee members) should refrain from communicating with one another outside of open meetings, except to attend to housekeeping items, such as meeting times. Distribution of meeting-related materials to Committee/Subcommittee members should be handled by the School Committee Secretary, who also should be copied on all emails between or among Committee/Subcommittee members for whatever purpose.
