The Holliston Public Schools School Committee meeting on September 25, 2025, focused on several key topics, including the ongoing support for teachers through professional development and updates on transportation safety measures.

A significant discussion centered around the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) professional development, which has garnered enthusiasm among teachers. The committee emphasized the importance of addressing the needs and wants of educators, particularly in relation to the elementary curriculum review. A committee composed of teachers and administrators is set to present recommendations for new materials, ensuring representation from both elementary and high school levels.

The meeting also highlighted the integration of artificial intelligence tools in the classroom. Educators are exploring various AI resources, such as Kami and Gemini, to enhance instructional differentiation and provide timely feedback to students. These tools are designed to support teachers by allowing them to create lessons tailored to different learning levels, ultimately improving the educational experience for students.

In addition to curriculum discussions, the committee addressed transportation concerns, specifically regarding bus number 6. Tim Holmes, who operates Holmes Transportation, is currently driving the route and is actively seeking additional drivers. Adjustments to the bus route are being planned to enhance safety, particularly at pickup locations where students must cross streets. These changes will be communicated to affected families shortly.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to supporting educators and ensuring student safety, with plans for further developments in both curriculum and transportation.
