Nuestro Mundo Board Meeting and Badger Rock Middle School Governance Council Meeting this week.

Big Week - the candidates who are finalists for the Superintendent are in town and there are public meetings Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, nearly everything else is behind closed doors.

Wasn't in the week ahead because it wasn't posted until Wednesday of this week.  And I didn't notice til TJ Mertz pointed it out to me this morning.  Thanks TJ!!!

Dane County is getting feedback on how it provides mental health services, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway is talking transit and the search for a new superintendent for the Madison public schools continues.

Instruction Work Group hears Community Schools Update, Naming Committee, K-5 Reading Materials and City Education Committees meet.

This work was initially done by myself, Brenda Konkel, for Progressive Dane about 3 years ago.  Technical difficulties happened and over the past three years I continued some of the work here at Forward Lookout.  I'm in the process of merging the work and expanding the guide.  Let me know what you think!

So, nothing is worse than when public officials use open meetings laws to thwart public information.  I was reminded about how they did that with the Cap Times during the F-35s debate.  See what I found in my open records request.

Yesterday  i blogged about illegal County Board meetings.  Today, Madison School Board.

There are two local government meetings this week at the City of Madison, Madison School Board and Dane County Board . . . that we know of.

Enjoy the government meeting free holiday week!  No city, county or school board meetings scheduled for next week!
