The committee approved budget transfers within the FY 2025 general fund to address funding shortfalls due to staffing changes following the initial budget adoption. The transfer included $125,000 allocated at a recent town meeting, with specific allocations for enhancing educational programs. These included $36,000 for the English Language Learners (ELL) salary line, $34,000 for a registered behavior technician position, $20,000 for curriculum adoption, $30,000 for coaches’ salaries in athletics, and $5,000 for Science, Technology, Engineering, Integrated Network (STEM) curriculum implementation. The approval process involved a roll call vote due to the meeting’s remote participation format.

Another notable discussion point was the 2025-26 school year calendar, presented by the calendar committee. The calendar outlined three professional development days starting on August 21, 2025, with the first day of school for grades 1-12 set for August 26. The school year would conclude on June 15, 2026, without snow days, with up to five inclement weather makeup days extending the year to June 23 if necessary. The committee sought feedback from staff, noting preferences for a gradual start to the school year and deliberated on potential adjustments for specific days within the calendar. However, contractual obligations prevented changes, such as making December 23 a half-day.
