The Fall River Public Schools Grievance Subcommittee convened on October 27th, 2025. The meeting was called to order, followed by a roll call where Mr. Aia and Mr. Das were present, and Mr. Laravey was noted as absent. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and the Open Meeting Law statement was read. There was no citizen input time or new business discussed during the open session. The subcommittee then moved to enter executive session to discuss strategy related to collective bargaining. The initial motion to enter executive session, specifically for one item under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 38, Section 21 A3, concerning employees represented by the American Federation of State County Municipal Employees Council 93 Local 118, was made, seconded, and passed unanimously with a 2-0 vote by Mr. Aia and Mr. Das. After briefly reconvening in open session to confirm attendance, the subcommittee made a second motion to re-enter executive session. This subsequent executive session was for three distinct purposes, all under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 38, Section 21 A3: to discuss collective bargaining strategy and grievances for custodial employees, safety and security employees, and maintenance employees, each represented by the American Federation of State County Municipal Employees Council 93 Local 118. This motion also passed unanimously with a 2-0 vote. Upon returning from the second executive session, the subcommittee moved to adjourn, which was seconded and passed unanimously by Mr. Aia and Mr. Das.
