Attleboro School Committee Meeting 11-02-2026

The November 2, 2026 Attleboro School Committee meeting included an update from Whitsons Nutrition, the district’s longtime food-service management provider. The presentation covered meal service, student-engagement programs, dietary accommodations, new support positions, equipment being obtained for the Early Learning Center, and a new all-electric food-service van expected to enter service that week. No new food-service contract award or purchasing vote was reported. The committee unanimously approved motions accepting donations or contractual obligations from Bayate Textiles, Planet Aid, and Shutterfly, along with anonymous school supplies valued at $25, and sending prior-year invoices to the municipal council; several amounts in the transcript are unclear.

The superintendent reported foundation enrollment was down by 201 students, with a potential funding impact estimated at roughly $18,000 per student—about $3.6 million overall—while emphasizing that the district would assess the budget through its normal process, beginning with a level-service estimate in December. No budget reductions or spending decisions were made. The committee also discussed student safety in executive session and unanimously approved prior meeting minutes.
