Town and school officials are working toward revisions to a decades-old regional agreement with an eye on fall Town Meetings.
Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester’s governing boards met with Old Rochester Regional School District Officials on July 13 to hash out changes to the schools’ regional agreement, which has gone unchanged since its last approval in 1986.
Among the changes proposed by the district is a summer start-and-end date for Old Rochester School Committee members’ terms.
The current terms, according to committee member Heather Burke, cause problems for the committee because personnel changes occur immediately following Town Meetings, during the school year. The revised agreement would have terms begin on July 1, when school is out and the committee takes a summer break.
