    NOTE:  Include in this category statements on Committees made up of School Committee members (but not advisory committees to the School Committee).

    The cross reference on the above policy is to a related policy in this manual.  The open meeting law, and its exceptions, applies to both School Committee meetings and meetings of the subcommittees of the School Committee; thus this cross-reference is necessary.

    If School Committee policy permits standing subcommittees, the current standing subcommittees should be included in the policy, and regulations may be needed on their duties and operations. Or, the duties of specific Committees sometimes are included as an informational document coded BDE-E.
