Pembroke School Committee: 10/6/26

The Pembroke School Committee meeting on October 6, 2026, focused primarily on student achievement and district operations. The superintendent reviewed MCAS results, AP participation and performance, and planned literacy work, including a second year of piloting Simplify Writing and expanding UFly/Word Origins. The district plans to contact instructional-materials companies to review options for grades 3–8, but no vendor selection, purchase, contract, or spending authorization was made. The committee also discussed possible future AP course offerings and scheduling constraints.

The committee approved the September 22 minutes and adopted a school resource officer policy based on the state’s sample, supplementing the existing memorandum of understanding with the police department. A motion was made and seconded to approve the superintendent’s 2026–27 goals, but the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. No procurement activity or budget allocation was identified.
