The Regional School Committee is going to meet this coming Monday, March 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the High School library to vote on its top pick for School Superintendent. By law, their deliberations must be made in public. All nine members of the Regional School Committee, which includes five Amherst School Committee members, will be voting.
Many Fort River parents made a special effort to attend the public sessions with the three superintendent finalist candidates. It's important for Fort River parents to be heard, so please consider contacting the members of the School Committee with your personal impressions about the candidates and your recommendations for how you would like to see them vote. You can email the school committee as a whole by sending an email to the following address:
schoolcommittee@arps.org. You can also find contact information for the individual committee members at this link:
http://www.arps.org/contact-us/.
It's important that you contact the members of the school committee, even if you filled out the forms at the various public sessions. Also, please plan on attending the meeting on Monday evening.
If you would like to refresh your memories about the candidates, you can see their resumes on the
ARPS.org website. You can watch the evening sessions with each of the candidates online at the
ACTV website.
Also, please note that there will be an Amherst School Committee meeting the following evening, Tuesday March 3rd, at 7p.m. in the ARHS cafeteria. They will be discussing the possible cuts to next year's budget. The agenda for that meeting can be seen here.
