School Committee, Sept. 23, 2026

The Nashoba Regional School Committee held a meeting on September 23, 2026, focusing primarily on informational updates and upcoming budget considerations. Key procurement-related discussions included the superintendent's report on the potential establishment of a 501(c)(3) foundation to enable the district to participate in a new federal education tax credit program starting January 2027. This foundation would facilitate donations to support educational initiatives such as technology and tutoring. The committee discussed the need for community involvement to form this nonprofit entity and the superintendent offered to assist interested parties. Additionally, the committee reviewed an increase in Chapter 70 state aid funding of $253,895 for fiscal year 2027, recommending an amendment to the operating budget without changing town assessments, pending a two-thirds committee vote at the next meeting. The meeting also covered the budget timeline for FY27, emphasizing the separation of capital and operating budgets and the importance of timely school committee input. Other agenda items included approval of audit advisory committee members and discussion of school committee communication protocols, with a vote on protocols deferred to a future meeting. No contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this session.
