episode 3. Regular Meeting Mar. 03, 2026 cover

3. Regular Meeting Mar. 03, 2026

This episode recaps the March 3, 2026 regular meeting of the Cambridge School Committee. It includes presentations about the strategic planning process from Rachel Skerrit of Attuned Education Partners and an update on the state of social and emotion learning (SEL) in CPS by Kim Huffer, the director of SEL. The committee also discusses motions 26-030 about snow days, 26-031 about principal evaluations, and 26-032 about third grade literacy and retention. I cut out the opening announcements for time, so here they are: * First, and I’m going to say this one every time, I am reporting on what was said in the meetings; my reporting of what the members said does not mean what they said is true.   * Second, you can check the show notes for references and links. If I’ve missed something please reach out to me at CambridgeSC30@gmail.com [CambridgeSC30@gmail.com]. * Third: acronyms * CPS - Cambridge Public Schools * COO - Chief Operating Officer * DHSP - Department of Human Services Programs * CCF - Cambridge Community Foundation * SEL - Social and Emotional Learning * BRYT -  Bridge for Resilient Youth in Transition * DESE - Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education * Fourth and finally, the meeting recap is followed by a few minutes of my absolutely biased analysis of this meeting. Please feel free to skip that part; my prime directive is to inform the public, not make anyone think like me.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
