CUMBERLAND – Since going to an online streaming platform last year, the Cumberland School Committee has seen engagement with its meetings skyrocket, going from three or four in attendance before the pandemic to sometimes hundreds of participants. During one meeting last August, some 600 people were on the call for a meeting. Chairwoman Karen Freedman said it’s clear that a virtual component should remain as “what’s best for the public,” with increased accessibility bringing “way more engagement than ever,” even as the committee now considers ways it might get back together in an in-person setting. There are a lot of logistics to figure out for a return to in-person meetings, said Freedman, but school leaders are here to serve the public and do what’s best for them.
