SUDBURY -- July 11, 2024, Lincoln-Sudbury school committee opens, hears no public comment, and immediately closes its doors.

Chair Ravi Simon confirmed a quorum at 7:03 p.m. with members Catherine Bitter, Maura Carty and Kevin Matthews present, along with Superintendent/Principal Andrew Stevens. No member of the public signed in to speak. The roll-call vote to close the meeting was 4-0, with no return to open session planned.
