*The Town intends to make each of its remote public meetings available for viewing/listening via streaming live (and saved) video and audio on YouTube with some available for public comment by zoom. Live streaming of school committee meetings is only available for viewing via webinars.
There are a few videos that I couldn’t find on the remote channel this morning. I’ve contacted the Town and hope that’s a glitch will be resolved. I included the links to the YouTube channel where you can look for them later.
