Longer-form draft.
The Concord Select Board meeting on March 12 revealed significant internal divisions and procedural challenges regarding the January 27 proclamation. Most notably, board members admitted during the meeting that they do not have a shared understanding of the intent behind including the IH definition of antisemitism in the proclamation. This admission comes amidst heavy public feedback and a formal complaint alleging Open Meeting Law violations related to how documents regarding the proclamation were circulated. In response to these legal and procedural pressures, the Board has authorized a formal response to the complainant and the Attorney General's office. They also acknowledged the need for training on Open Meeting Law, which is scheduled to take place between May and June. Looking forward, the Board has scheduled a public discussion for April 13 to address the controversy and the ambiguity of the proclamation's language. As residents, it is vital that we attend this meeting to ensure the Board moves toward a clear, evidence-based, and transparent policy rather than one driven by administrative confusion. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/select-board/2026-03-12/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
