Duxbury Public Schools School Committee Meeting October 21, 2026

Duxbury Public Schools School Committee meeting, October 21, 2026: The committee discussed the FY28 capital budget, with prioritized requests totaling $2.125 million—about 20% of the district’s identified one-year capital needs, which exceed $10 million. Requests included facilities work, a mower, replacement library and school furniture, a core network switch, classroom projectors and displays, and ongoing Chromebook and staff-device leases. The committee discussed the limitations of current classroom technology and furniture and the need to prioritize among broader needs; no vote to approve the capital requests or award a contract was recorded. In connection with the Alden School building project, the committee discussed inviting PCA 360, identified in the discussion in connection with the project’s owner’s project manager, to give a formal presentation. The designer-selection process is upcoming, and no designer was selected at this meeting.

The committee approved the consent agenda, including accounts payable warrants FY2715 and FY2716 and payroll warrant FY2716; warrant amounts were not stated. It also unanimously approved an amendment to the district Code of Conduct. Three other policies, including the student fees, fines, and charges policy, were introduced for first reading only, with no vote to adopt them. No other contract award or procurement decision was identified.
