ON THE AGENDA: Town & School Meetings This Week
It's our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton government and school meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something.
Also, sometimes things are on the town calendars and are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to double check before you head over! This is especially true if no agenda has been posted.
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then put school meetings together, but we’ve started this off with some climate conversations and suppers that are happening this week that are related to the towns.
BAR HARBOR GOVERNMENT MEETINGS!
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
According to Bar Harbor’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
