The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education Advisory Councils
The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education Advisory Councils were established by the Education Reform Act of 1993* to advise the Commissioner and the Board on matters relevant to their areas of focus in the development of education reform in Massachusetts. Each council meets 4-6 times per year at times and locations determined by its members. Through diverse membership on each advisory council, the Commissioner and Board are able to draw on the perspectives and experience of a wide variety of constituents in order to strengthen public education.
( * With the exception of the Braille Literacy Council which was mandated by the 1996 Braille Literacy Act)
All advisory council meetings are open to the public. Contact the council staff liaison to confirm dates, times, locations, and to request disability related accommodations, if necessary.
