# SC Meeting September 29 2026

Pawtucket School Committee meeting, September 29, 2026. The committee approved the 2026–27 City Year service agreement for Samuel Slater Middle School for $125,000, funded through Slater redesign grant allocations. The committee also unanimously approved moving forward with a memorandum of agreement with the city to establish a revolving fund for housing-aid reimbursements; discussion noted that the fund would formalize the handling of eligible reimbursements and require further work on terms and seed funding. A parking-use agreement for Blackstone Valley Community Health was presented with insurance, indemnification, and termination protections, and a motion to approve was made, though the transcript does not capture a clear vote. The committee approved the virtual-instruction-day plans for further review with the teachers’ alliance before submission to the state.

Capital-project discussion covered the new high school’s traffic and parking plan and possible uses for an acquired corner parcel; no design or spending decision was made. Members discussed potential stadium-area improvements, including a concession stand estimated at $1.8 million and fundraising options, while noting $1.6 million in permit fees; these remained exploratory. The Varley Elementary HVAC update reported five units expected in December and two custom units delayed until March, with storage costs borne by the contractor. The district reported about $100,500 remaining in CSI funds as of September 28 and discussed strengthened grant-spending oversight. No new high-school construction award or stadium-improvement approval was recorded.
