Public Comment on School Policy Under Review
The Canton School Committee (CSC), through its Subcommittee on Policy Review, regularly reviews and, when necessary, revises or creates written policies governing the Public Schools of Canton. All current/approved policies are available through the Policy Manual.
In an effort to improve public feedback on policy revisions, the policies that are currently under review are posted below.
To provide input on any of the policies under consideration that are listed below or any other School Committee Policies, please sign up for public comment and/or email us your thoughts at schoolcommittee@cantonma.org.
