Harris Backs Compromise on School Board Structure
Harris endorses Rep. Greenberg’s plan to reorganize Pittsfield School Board. Greenberg proposes a seven member board elected at large from each ward, with the mayor excluded. Other proposals include an 11 member ward elected board and a five member at large board. Harris argues the Greenberg plan preserves ward representation while enabling full community input and better school governance.
