EDUCATION 411
Education 411 (“E411”) is a nonpartisan organization established in 2006 to inform Westwood residents of key issues facing our public schools.
Since its formation, E411 members have attended numerous town meetings, circulated several newsletters, built an email database reaching several hundred residents and organized well-received Community Forums on the topics of state funding of public education and the specifics of Chapter 70 (in 2006) and safety issues in the schools (in 2007). To obtain further information about E411 or to subscribe to our periodic newsletters, please visit E411 on-line at Education411.org.

EDUCATION411: KEEPING
INFORMED ABOUT WESTWOOD EDUCATION
How do you keep informed about
important issues facing the Westwood schools? Do you attend every
School Committee and Finance Commission meeting? Scour the local
media for news reports? Regularly review town websites looking
for updates? Listen to banter on the sidelines? Truthfully, with
busy schedules and too few hours in the day, it can be difficult
to keep informed – even with the best of intentions to do
so.
To address this reality, several
years ago, a group of Westwood parents banded together to form
EDUCATION411, a grass-roots volunteer organization with the mission
of promoting informed discussion about Westwood’s public
schools. E411 members:
• Publicize, attend and provide
nonpartisan summaries of public meetings in town such as meetings
of the School Committee and Finance Commission.
• Organize periodic community
forums on subjects involving the public schools such as recent
forums on state aid for education and school safety.
• Provide a forum for candidates
for public office to communicate their positions to the voting
public.
• Maintain an email distribution
list to keep citizens informed of relevant issues on a timely
basis.
