Data quality notes
- Every meeting page is built from the Agenda Center listing only. The agenda and minutes PDFs were not read; the few that were opened (Select Board 2026-10-06 minutes and the 2026-11-10 agendas) yielded only a letterhead and member list.
- School Committee meetings are not in the Agenda Center; they are known only from videos.
- Video captions have not been pulled yet, so no meeting has a transcript-based summary.
