Human Rights Committee · Meeting of February 12, 2026
Beverly Human Rights Committee approves trainer reimbursements and schedules spring meetings. The committee unanimously backed $80 in reimbursement to Carole Rein and $40 to Eric Knudsen for snacks purchased during the Active Bystander Pilot training, which showed increased knowledge and confidence among participants. The committee will not meet in March but has confirmed meetings for April 9, May 14, and June 11.
Member Purvi Harley informed City Council the committee lacks full membership and created a skills matrix to aid recruitment; the committee seeks a junior or sophomore high school student and faces four member term expirations in 2026. The committee discussed the city's recent ICE response declaration and raised questions about data privacy in schools.
