The Attleboro School Committee meeting held on June 8, 2026, primarily focused on educational and operational updates within the school district. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of several contracts and agreements: the fifth year renewal of the Sodexo maintenance contract, the fifth year renewal of the Witson's nutrition contract for FY27, and a lease agreement with Canon Kanuka Manotaa for copy machines totaling $15,252. Additionally, the committee approved a 20% discount on Abacus services for school department and city employees, codifying an existing practice. The Infrastructure and Facilities Subcommittee discussed a potential future project involving the construction of two 100-foot radio towers to improve fire department communications, though no formal funding request was made at this time.
