In late January, the agency issued a determination that the committee violated the OML for keeping inadequate minutes of a March 16, 2017, executive session – allegations in a complaint filed in 2017 by then-School Committee Member Peter Manoogian. Then in late June, the AG’s Division of Open Government issued a five-page determination validating allegations in three complaints filed by The Saugus Advocate which alleged multiple OML violations. One of the findings confirmed a complaint by the newspaper of an illegal Executive Session. The School Committee met in Executive Session “without a proper statutory purpose” to discuss budget-related matters, according to state Attorney General Maura Healey’s Office. The allegations cited in The Saugus Advocate’s recent complaint are based on case law that dates back to the evolution of the OML in Massachusetts. The OML was enacted “to eliminate much of the secrecy surrounding deliberation and decisions on which public policy is based,” according to a 1978 liance. She graduated from Barre & Soul’s 200-hour yoga teacher training program. “Yoga is my passion, and has been transforming in my life. I believe that yoga is for everybody. It is your own personal exploration and journey,” Poto said. If this is something that sounds appealing to you or worth a try, show up in the Community Room at the Saugus Public Library on Wednesday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. The library’s summer reading program just began on Monday. The Children’s Library Director, Amy Melton, said that she has some fresh titles that kids are enjoying.

The OML requires that meetings of a public body be properly noticed and open to members of the public, unless an executive session is convened. Public bodies may enter a closed, executive session for any of 10 purposes noted in the OML, provided that the chair of the public body first announces in open session the purpose for the executive session, “stating all subjects that may be revealed without compromising the purpose for which the executive session was called.” 1.
