Ever wonder how decisions (like the school budget) get made? Who are the BET and RTM? How and who to vote for?

John Fisher, PTA Council President for the past 2 years who attended every BOE meeting and every BET meeting with the school budgets on the agenda, will present a non-partisan breakdown of the BOE, Board of Selectmen, BET, and RTM.

Learn how each of the town boards shape our schools (spoiler: it’s eye-opening!), discover how you can influence budgets, policies, and priorities. Get informed to speak up, show up, and make change happen for the benefit of the schools!

Whether you're a parent or an educator, a voter or just civic-curious, Greenwich Government 101 will pull back the curtain on the who, what, and why behind our town’s most powerful boards — from the BET’s budget battles to the RTM’s influence.

Come and hear the presentation, how our government works in regards to GPS, and learn how your voice and vote matter!
