NMRSD School Committee 6/23/2026

The North Middlesex Regional School District School Committee held a meeting on June 23, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement discussions included the proposed outdoor fitness court project, for which the committee considered funding sources including a $150,000 state earmark and a $40,000 grant discount. The committee debated whether to proceed with new equipment or explore relocating existing equipment from the town of Townsend, ultimately deciding to table the project pending further discussions with the town. The committee also approved the appointment of Katie Kazangian as district treasurer with a specified salary. Budget transfers were reviewed, including reallocations to cover substitute teacher pay increases and other operational needs. Additionally, the committee reviewed and approved for first reading updated policies related to cell phone use, community use of school facilities with fee schedules, and artificial intelligence guidelines to be implemented in the district. The meeting also covered staffing updates, including the addition of building-based substitute teachers funded through revolving funds to address substitute shortages and class size concerns. No formal contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but several action items related to capital projects and budget allocations were identified for follow-up.
