Somerville’s School Opening Advisory Group Seeks Community Member

The City of Somerville is currently seeking applicants for a community member position on the School Opening Advisory Group. The Advisory Group will make COVID-19 data-based recommendations to the Mayor and Superintendent on school closures and reopenings.

The Advisory Group, which is a formal extension and expansion of ongoing efforts, will be composed of one community member and representatives from the Somerville Public Schools (SPS), Somerville School Committee, and the City’s COVID-19 response team. The group plans to meet weekly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Applicants with expertise in medicine, epidemiology, virology, infectious disease modeling, or other related fields are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to applicants who are parents or guardians of SPS students.

Applicants interested in volunteering to serve on the Advisory Group should send their resume and a statement of interest to advisorygroup@somervillema.gov by noon on Friday, December 4.
