6/13/22 Westbrook School Committee

The Westbrook School Committee Finance meeting on June 13, 2022, focused on two main agenda items. First, the committee discussed a successful memorandum of understanding with Sebago schools to provide bus maintenance services, which has been a beneficial revenue source for the school department without impacting their own bus operations. Second, the committee reviewed a confidential grant opportunity for a new greenhouse project aimed at supporting Compass students and expanding hands-on sustainability education. The grant, pending formal acceptance, would fund site development and greenhouse construction to create an outdoor classroom space with potential for community outreach and future expansion through additional grants. The committee emphasized the importance of confidentiality until the grant is officially announced and discussed the roles of the finance and school committees in approving and managing the grant funds and project.
