Nantucket School Committee members are buzzing with excitement over a new initiative that pairs students with local alumni for career conversations. During the recent meeting on March 4, 2025, a student shared their enthusiasm about interviewing Carlisle Jensen, a graduate now working at Eagan Maritime. This program aims to enhance students' communication skills while providing insights into various career paths.

The committee also discussed upcoming agenda items for their next meeting on March 18, which will include a safety and security needs assessment, updates on transportation, and a review of social media policies. Additionally, a member raised concerns about recent changes to Section 105 forms related to special needs and dietary accommodations, highlighting potential risks as 17 states challenge these allowances. The committee plans to further investigate the implications of these changes on local education policies.

As the Nantucket School Committee continues to engage with the community and adapt to evolving educational needs, the focus remains on fostering student growth and ensuring a supportive learning environment.
