Last night (3/1/12 ) the Cumberland School Committee held a special meeting to discuss Full-Day Kindergarten and Redistricting.  I was able to videotape the meeting and I’m in the process of uploading clips to YouTube for those who could not attend.

Below are links to individual video clips.

Here are some highlights from the meeting:

• A formal vote on Full-Day Kindergarten & Redistricting is scheduled for March 8th
• Estimated costs at this point – $502,666
