Arlington Human Rights Commission Seeks Volunteers For Open Seats

ARLINGTON —

Arlington's Human Rights Commission is looking for new members to fill open seats on the panel, according to a notice posted this week on the town and school district's public information channels. The call for volunteers was the most concrete piece of Town Hall news to surface in the past day, alongside a handful of dated items rounding out the civic calendar.

TOWN HALL

The Arlington Human Rights Commission has vacancies and is asking residents to step forward to serve, the town said in a notice posted this week. The announcement did not specify how many seats are open or an application deadline, but the commission is among several resident-staffed boards that handle civil-rights and discrimination-related matters for the town. Residents interested in serving are directed to the town's standard boards-and-committees application process.

SCHOOLS

The Arlington School Committee will meet remotely on July 27, from 6 to 7 p.m. via Zoom, according to the district's online calendar.
