The Marblehead School Committee Policy Subcommittee met to hear public comment and begin a preliminary discussion on a potential flag/banner display policy for school buildings. Multiple residents expressed divergent views on the Black Lives Matter banner at the high school and whether a formal policy was needed. Subcommittee chair Jen presented examples from other Massachusetts districts including Hadley, Framingham, Stoughton, and Norton, and noted a 2021 Supreme Court case (City of Boston) constraining how municipal bodies can restrict flag displays. No policy was voted on; the chair agreed to draft a policy based on the Hadley model, send it to district counsel, and schedule follow-up meetings, with the incoming superintendent to be involved.

Residents split on BLM flag and whether schools need a flag policy

Five residents addressed the subcommittee with sharply differing views on school flag displays, the Black Lives Matter banner, and pride flags.

Public comment opened at the start of the meeting. Five residents spoke:

Mim (Wallingford Road) — Israeli-American, member of the Human Rights Campaign Parents Council, ADL North Shore Advisory Group, and Keshet. Urged the board to defend schools’ ability to display inclusion flags (BLM, Pride) on a case-by-case basis administered by principals.
Kazzy (resident) — Reflected on the tension between unity and individual expression. Suggested town/state/country flags should be primary but case-by-case allowances for others; raised definitional questions (flag pole vs. wall vs. sticker).
Cindy (Marblehead Racial Justice Team) — Expressed disappointment when the BLM banner was temporarily removed. Argued that removing BLM signage sends an exclusionary message to students and families of color. Aligned with Mim’s position.
Renee Sidman — Parent, former foster parent of a Black child in Marblehead schools, Jewish community leader. Strongly supported keeping the BLM flag; said the flag is a visual signal of welcome and that all local rabbis supported its display at the high school.
Charman (Reed Street) — Person of color; said she finds the BLM flag offensive and had previously raised flag-display concerns with the former superintendent. Advocated for taking all non-governmental flags down until a policy is in place, then starting fresh with only the American and state flags.
Nyla (resident) — Arrived late; said she believes all flags should come down and schools should be a space free of group signaling. Asked whether anyone had measured outcomes (counseling rates, etc.) since the BLM flag went up.

A board member (identified as Michelle) clarified mid-comment that the policy discussion was not about taking the BLM flag down; the flag had been removed earlier by an unauthorized individual but was restored. The subcommittee confirmed no flags currently displayed at the start of the school year have been changed.

Subcommittee chair presents flag-policy research, outlines path to drafting

The chair reviewed flag policies from Hadley, Framingham, New Bedford, Stoughton, and Norton, cited a 2021 Supreme Court ruling, and proposed using Hadley's policy as a starting draft.

Read ▾

After public comment, the subcommittee chair (Jen) shared research findings:

Massachusetts state statute requires the American flag in every classroom and the Pledge of Allegiance daily; that is the only statutory requirement.
Several districts have adopted flag policies. Most date to the early 1970s and cover only government flags.
Framingham (approved October 1, 2023) — A multi-page policy mandating US flag in all classrooms and the Massachusetts flag in auditoriums; outdoors, it flies the US flag year-round, the “progress flag” (Pride flag) year-round, the Juneteenth flag during Juneteenth week, a disability-awareness flag in July, and the Massachusetts flag year-round. Additional flags require superintendent approval.
Hadley — Only American and Massachusetts flags permitted by default; any other flag or banner requires a written request with image submitted to the school committee, reviewed case-by-case, with no decision setting precedent.
Stoughton/Norton — Addressed flags under a signage-and-advertising (KHBA) policy; prohibits placement of political signage without administrator authorization, but allows items that further district educational goals.
Pepperell and Lynnfield — Town/city-wide flag policies where the select board decides on applications.

The chair noted a 2021 Supreme Court case (Shurtleff v. City of Boston) holding that if a government body opens a flagpole as a First Amendment forum, it cannot deny any organization’s flag; but if the governing body controls the flagpole as its own expression, it may restrict what flies.

The chair proposed drafting a policy modeled on Hadley’s, adding language tying allowances to the district’s educational goals (as required by counsel), and including standard placement of the American, Massachusetts, and Marblehead flags. The draft will be sent to district attorney Colby and possibly MASC for review before returning to the subcommittee.

A new superintendent is due to start in early November and will be included in future discussions. Formally adopting a policy requires at least three readings at public meetings before a full committee vote.

Student email and internet posting policy (IJDB) reviewed; returned for clarification

The subcommittee took a first look at an updated student email and internet-posting guideline policy but deferred it pending legal review and clarification on several ambiguous provisions.

Read ▾

The chair presented a proposed update to the student email and internet posting guidelines policy (referenced as IJDB or similar). Key changes from the existing policy:

Grade bands updated to align with current school configurations, now starting at pre-K.
For grades 6–8: language changed from “email may be provided” to students may be provided a school email account with limits on messages sent and received.
For grades 9–12: students may post their own work online provided a parent/guardian has signed the internet-release form; students are responsible for knowing their own permission status.

Michelle raised several questions:

How is posting permission (the signed FERPA/internet release) cross-referenced with actual student posting activity?
The pre-K–3 provision allowing “teacher-monitored accounts” was unclear — does this mean school accounts only, or any account, and what are the consequences if a student posts without authorization?
She recommended the full committee not see this until answers are obtained and the draft is tightened.

The chair agreed to send the draft to MASC and district counsel Colby for review. The existing policy was noted as overdue for revision since 2018. The subcommittee will schedule a follow-up meeting offline; the revised draft will constitute a second reading, with a third reading before the full committee vote.
