# Marblehead School Committee Meeting

The Marblehead School Committee meeting was called to order on November 5, 2026 (the metadata lists November 6 UTC). The committee discussed school finances and facilities procurement. The schedule of bills totaling $519,522.50 was put forward for approval with the October 15 minutes; the transcript records a motion and second but does not clearly capture the vote. The superintendent reported $2.7 million in unexpended, unencumbered funds at the end of October and reviewed recent salary and transportation encumbrances. District activity fees were also reviewed: annual stipend obligations for clubs and activities total $213,771, with $64,800 collected so far. The administration will analyze participation, fee collection, and costs before recommending any changes; no fee-policy change was made.

Facilities updates included the roofing project, which was nearing closeout with a punch list remaining, including HVAC adjustments and an unresolved gym leak. The district also reported progress on town-operating-budget projects and purchases, including snow-removal equipment already received, a Veterans School clock system, a Brown School playground shade structure ordered (with $4,800 to be returned after the price came in under estimate), and lighting work at Village and Veterans schools. The superintendent recommended relinquishing district custody and control of the Eve school site to the town, citing the building’s condition, a failed boiler, and substantial study and repair costs; no decision was recorded. No new contract award or solicitation was identified.
