The Grievance Subcommittee of the Fall River School Committee convened a meeting on Monday, November 27th. The meeting was called to order, followed by a roll call where Mr. [unclear name], Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Har were noted as present. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and a statement regarding the Open Meeting Law was read, advising attendees of potential audio or video recordings.

Following these initial formalities, the committee confirmed there was no citizen input or new business to be brought before them. The primary action of the meeting was a motion to move into executive session. This motion was made pursuant to Massachusetts General Law chapter 38, section 21A3.

The purpose of the executive session was to discuss strategy related to a bargaining agreement and to hear grievances concerning all professional teaching employees of the Fall River school system. This included coaches, Title One teachers, nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and specialists, all represented by the Fall River Educated Association. The chair determined that an open meeting on these matters could have a detrimental effect on the school committee's bargaining position. The motion to enter executive session passed unanimously, with Mr. [unclear name], Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Har all voting in favor.
