Peabody School Committee Meeting - June 9th, 2026

The Peabody School Committee held a meeting on June 9, 2026, focusing on various educational and community initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included the ongoing selection process for a design company for the new Peabody Veterans Memorial High School MSBA project, with four firms under review and a selection panel meeting scheduled. The committee also approved multiple financial warrants totaling over $230,000. Additionally, the committee addressed policy updates, notably the first reading and forthcoming adoption of an updated anti-bullying policy, which includes enhanced reporting and investigation procedures. Discussions also covered the establishment of a district wellness committee to comply with regulatory requirements, separate from the athletics subcommittee. The meeting featured presentations on student civic projects, career and technical education partnerships, and community mental health initiatives, but no new contracts or RFPs were awarded during this session. The committee planned further meetings to finalize policies and continue oversight of capital projects and educational programs.
