School Committee Newsletters

Following most regular School Committee meetings, an edition of School Committee News is sent to the school community. The newsletter is designed to provide an update of what transpired at the meeting, and offer a look ahead at topics or issues to be covered in future meetings. If you are a PSB parent/caregiver, or a PSB staff member, you should be receiving the newsletter automatically. If you are not an active PSB community member, and would like to receive the newsletter directly, click here to add your name and email to the distribution list.
