BWRSD School Committee 10/26/26

The Bristol Warren Regional School Committee met on October 26, 2026. The main discussion was a district-wide review of 2026 state assessment, I-Ready, and accountability results, followed by school-level reports and discussion of instructional coaching, common assessments, intervention plans, and support for students performing below grade level. No new instructional-program contract or related award was identified. The committee also approved the consent agenda and discussed a legislative-priorities memo for an upcoming breakfast with legislators.

Procurement and finance items included approval of a budget transfer from middle-school technology supplies to the cell-phone line to purchase a district phone for the principal; no amount was specified. The district reported that the middle-school parking-lot project remained under budget, including the previously discussed roughly $800,000 cost, and said it expected to bring a project alternate for consideration at the next meeting, with PMA and Perkins Eastman expected to provide an update. The committee approved a not-to-exceed $45,000 cap for an upcoming strategic-planning RFP after reviewing comparable district costs. This authorized the RFP ceiling; no vendor selection or contract award occurred at this meeting.
