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 Bar Harbor's town and school meeting agendas, featuring bold text 'ON THE AGENDA' with green speech bubble elements.

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to the upcoming storm, both the Bar Harbor Warrant Committee and Mount Desert Selectboard meetings on Monday are ONLY ZOOM and NOT IN PERSON.

We have not heard (as of press time) if the high school trustees and Bar Harbor task force on climate emergency are meeting and/or meeting only on Zoom.

Some meetings may occur later this week, but are currently listed on town websites as pending or do not have updated agendas and aren’t currently included here. If tehy update, we will, too.

The cancellations that we know about are at the bottom of yesterday’s story here.
