Lowell subcommittee: council to vote on $2 million transfer to schools
Summary
A Lowell school finance subcommittee reported that the City Council will soon vote to transfer $2,000,000 from the manager suspense account to the school department, a move that would allow reevaluation of pending layoffs.
The Lowell City school finance subcommittee said Monday that the City Council is expected to vote soon on transferring $2,000,000 from the manager suspense account to the school department, which the subcommittee said would allow a reassessment of pending layoffs.
The update came during a Zoom meeting of the school finance subcommittee. Subcommittee members described the transfer as forthcoming but recorded no vote at the subcommittee meeting; the transcript indicates the City Council still must take the formal vote.
School officials and council representatives did not provide additional detail about timing, the precise conditions tied to the funds, or how many layoffs might be affected. The transcript does not specify which council member will move the transfer or any secondary motions.
Because no council vote has occurred, action remains pending and subject to City Council approval. The subcommittee did not adopt any formal direction beyond reporting the pending transfer.
