Over on Left in Lowell, they’ve been paying close attention to what is going on at the city council meetings, but let’s not forget the important business underway on the school committee. Tonight, the members of the Superintendent Search Committee will be introduced, and there are several motions regarding the Superintendent Search process that are worth your notice.  One is that all interviews (not just those of the finalists) be held in a public forum.  Another is to extend the deadline for applications for the position to February 29th (the original deadline was February 1st).  There is also a motion to discuss the televising of the Lowell High subcommittee meetings.  Following the lead of the City Council who now televises all of their subcommittee meetings, this was started as a pilot program last Fall.  So far, only one meeting has been televised, but it was an excellent way for parents to see the real work the committee does that affects the high school.  I hope they don’t give up on this effort before it has been fully tested! 

If you can’t get downtown tonight, tune in to Channel 10 at 7:00 pm and see what happens.
