PSB Policy Review

The Brookline School Committee, through its Subcommittee on Policy Review, regularly reviews and, when necessary, revises or creates written policies governing the Public Schools of Brookline (PSB).  In an effort to improve public feedback on policy revisions, the proposed draft of any policy under review is posted on the Public Schools website when it is approved for a First Reading by the full School Committee.


The Brookline School Committee currently has one policy under review and welcomes your feedback:


1) Proposed Revision of PSB Policy on Adequacy Standards for School Facilities


Additional information and a copy of the proposed policy can be found on the School Website.
