This session shares my conversation with School Committee Chairperson Dave Callaghan. This is a new episode of our continuing “Chalkboard Chat” series. We had our discussion via the Zoom conference bridge on Thursday, May 9, 2024.

We talk about

• The redistricting proposal scheduled for May 14 vote
• The school budget & the override scheduled for June 11

And we close with a recognition of mothers on this Mother’s Day weekend.

The recording runs about 30 minutes, so let’s listen in.
