These are just some of the municipal meetings and civic events for the coming week. More are on the City Calendar and in the city’s Open Meetings Portal.
Superintendent search feedback
School Committee roundtable, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Friday. Members discuss what they’re hearing from a series of community meetings held to inform their search for a permanent Cambridge Public Schools superintendent. That person will be chosen before the November elections and start work on or before July 1, 2026. Televised and watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
Hearings on vacant storefronts
Economic Development & University Relations Committee, 1 to 3 p.m. Monday.. This committee run by city councillor Ayesha M. Wilson invites representatives from the 23 long-vacant properties – those empty for more than five years – to speak on the record about their tenancy efforts, short- and long-term plans for the sites and to provide the community with an opportunity to weigh in. The star of the show, or at least one of the episodes of what may be a series, is hoped to be Gerald Chan and his long-closed AMC Loews theater in Harvard Square. The committee meets at City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Ave., Central Square. Televised and watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
Ahern Field opinions pop-up
City of Cambridge, 4 to 6 p.m. Monday. People who spend time at Ahern Field are invited to come by the space at 259 Charles St., East Cambridge, and tell city staff where they spend the most time in it and what parts they think need improvements, which will help plan updates. There will be free popcorn at this first of several such events about the green space.
Acting superintendent evaluation
School Committee special meeting, 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Members discuss and adopt a composite evaluation for interim superintendent David Murphy. The committee meets in the Dr. Henrietta S. Attles Meeting Room at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, 459 Broadway, Mid-Cambridge. Televised and watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
