The committee received an email from the Friends of Marblehead Public Schools reporting that the organization’s board had unanimously voted to approve $2,500 worth of school supplies for each district school. A motion to accept the donation was made and seconded; the committee approved acceptance by roll call vote, 4–0.

Committee members said the principals would work directly with Friends representatives to determine each school’s needs and thanked the organization for the contribution and longstanding support. The superintendent said principals would coordinate distribution with district staff.

Ending: The committee voted to accept the donation and asked the superintendent and communications staff to coordinate distribution details with principals and to report back as needed.
