Discussion items of note include the presentation and following discussion on the results of the MetroWest Adolescent Health Survey, as well as, the Update to the Pollard Middle School Project. There was also a presentation on the Fiscal Year 2028 – 2032 Draft Capital Improvement Plan Requests and the Superintendent shared his performance goals for the 2026 – 2027 school year. Committee Members also voted unanimously to approve the Booster Club’s 2025 – 2026 In-Kind Donations, as well as, their 2026 – 2027 Budget. They did the same for the PTC.
