SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. — At its Sept. 25 meeting, the Swampscott School Committee voted unanimously to accept a $1,000 donation from Roderick and Gretchen Young to support the Swampscott High School band. The committee recorded a unanimous roll-call vote accepting the gift; members said the funds will be used in consultation with the high school band director.
The committee also approved the regular-session minutes from its Sept. 11 meeting by unanimous roll call. No other budgetary actions or appropriations were associated with the donation at the meeting; the acceptance is recorded as a direct contribution to the band program.
Vote record and outcome: The meeting transcript records a motion to accept the donation and a second; members Suzanne Wright and John Jantus are recorded as voting yes on the item during the roll call, and the chair announced the measure passed unanimously. The committee likewise approved the Sept. 11 minutes by roll call.
What’s next: Committee members thanked the donors and moved on to other agenda business. The donation is a one-time contribution for band programming; any further action to allocate or spend the funds will be handled by school administration in consultation with the band director and normal district accounting procedures.
