Taunton School Committee...August 5th, 2026 (LIVE BROADCAST)

The Taunton School Committee held a meeting on August 5, 2026, primarily addressing procurement and budget matters related to school resources. The committee approved the disposal of surplus textbooks from Two Hamilton Street and middle school teacher editions, following established policies and regulations. Additionally, they approved FY27 bills payable totaling $251,991.34, which included a $2,050 payment to Habib Associates for technology security monitoring services. The committee also discussed a proposal from a community church regarding the potential use of the property at 66 Summer Street (now the Carol A. Doherty Professional Development Center). After debate, the committee voted to refer the proposal to both the long-range planning and space utilization subcommittees for further review. No new contracts or capital projects were awarded during the meeting, but the discussions and votes taken could influence future procurement and property use decisions within the school district.
