School Committee: What took so long?

• The School Committee met on June 8th, the day of the failed override vote. They also met on June 22, two weeks after the override vote.
• The letter to the FEA regarding the shortened day was dated July 6th and requested a response from the teachers union by July 20th.

Why did the School Committee wait so long to take action on what they knew was required?

The letter and results of the non-response by the teachers union can be found here
