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.

Graphic promoting the Bar Harbor Story's weekly town and school meetings agenda, featuring the text 'ON THE AGENDA' and a call to action 'READ NOW' in bold colors.

The Bar Harbor Story is generously sponsored by Geddy’s.

A nighttime view of Geddy's restaurant in Bar Harbor, Maine, featuring colorful outdoor lighting and a sign thanking patrons for the season, with information about their temporary closure.

Every week we document the Mount Desert Island region’s government and school meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something.

Also, sometimes things on the town and school calendars are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to doublecheck before you head over!

This is especially true if no agenda has been posted. Sometimes agendas are posted later in the week and are not available at our Monday press time. And sometimes (because Southwest Harbor’s website has corruption issues) we can’t safely download an agenda.

Again, if there are no agendas posted for an event, please verify with the town that it is occurring. We don’t want you heading over for no reason, but we do want everyone to know that:

  1. They can head over.
  2. What’s going on in their town government or at school board meetings.

All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.

When things change and we know (agendas are uploaded, meetings are cancelled), we will do our best to update the article as well.

A calendar layout titled 'Local Govt & School Meetings' featuring sections for each day of the week. The Monday section lists meetings for the Bar Harbor Task Force on the Climate Emergency and Swan's Island School Committee. The Tuesday section includes the League of Towns, Southwest Harbor Select Board, Tremont Planning Board, and Trenton Select Board. Background features autumn leaves.
