like most amherst committees...one cannot have a job...the meetings are during working hours which leaves many good parents, citizens who have jobs left out...leaves people in lower socio-economic groups who cannot take time off from work out!!!
why does Amherst have 2 school committee reps on the committee? Shouldn't one of the hilltowns have one of their members since that now really restricts who the remaining 5 can be? Catherine, could you explain the rational behind it?
Anonymous 8:55 - each of the three SCs voted for a representative: Amherst voted for me, Pelham voted for Nora, and the Region voted for Rick. The Region certainly could have voted for the Leverett or Shutesbury representative. Let's remember also that both Amherst and Pelham hire the superintendent for both elementary and regional work, whereas Leverett and Shutesbury hire the superintendent only for the regional work. That is why Amherst and Pelham combined have 8 people voting for the superintendent whereas Leverett and Shutesbury only have two.
