School Committee, Oct. 7, 2026

The Nashoba Regional School Committee met on October 7, 2026 (the meeting metadata is dated October 8 UTC). The committee considered a consent agenda that included an annual Massachusetts Department of Public Health grant, described as part of a 10-year grant program. The funds support the school resource nurse’s salary, professional development, and supplies and materials; no grant amount was stated. The committee also considered an FY2027 budget amendment. The motion referenced a $253,895 reduction to an excess-and-efficiency appropriation, but the remaining figures and the outcome of the vote are unclear in the transcript; members were told that approval required a two-thirds vote, or eight of the 11 committee members.

Other spending- and procurement-related discussion included upcoming capital-planning and lease work, and a school building committee update noting construction progress and a planned building tour; no contract award, bid approval, or vendor selection was reported. The superintendent said that adopting a universal elementary social-emotional learning curriculum could require significant future investment, with decisions to return to the committee. The district is also gathering input to develop an AI policy, including consideration of data privacy and staff training, but no purchase or allocation was approved. The committee discussed budgeted reimbursement for participation in a school committee conference. No specific procurement solicitation or contract award was identified.
