Committee approves consent agenda including enrollment of two students and surplus CCHS math textbooks

The Concord-Carlow Regional School Committee approved its consent agenda, which included a staff request to enroll two children at Concord Public Schools and the disposition of surplus Concord-Carlisle High School math department textbooks. A committee member asked whether the surplus math textbooks could be used in the library. A staff member replied that the books are typically donated to other schools in need and that the school library is not the primary location for students to access the older texts because they have been replaced by updated materials. The committee moved and seconded the consent agenda as a single package and approved it by roll call. The minutes and executive session items listed on the agenda were included under the umbrella motion; no individual item was pulled for separate discussion beyond the textbook question. Staff said they try to place surplus items where they will be used when possible.
