School Committee Meeting 9-8-2026

The Marlborough MA School Committee meeting on September 8, 2026, focused heavily on educational program development and operational updates. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing a new pilot career and technical education (CTE) program in partnership with Asabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School. This pilot aims to provide Malborough High School seniors with dual enrollment opportunities in electrical and cosmetology trades, allowing students to earn industry-recognized credentials and high school credits. The committee approved funding for this pilot program and discussed plans for its expansion and sustainability through a grant application to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Additionally, the committee approved the organizational chart for the 2026-27 school year and addressed staffing updates, transportation contract issues with NRT, and upcoming safety forums. Policy updates were also considered, including the approval of a new policy related to physical restraint of students, with plans for further review. A gift donation of $27,450 from the Community Foundation for MetroWest was accepted to support Whipcom student activities.
