Votes at a glance: committee approves job descriptions, school‑year dates and MSBA Statement of Interest
Summary
At the March 13 meeting the Holliston School Committee approved three updated cafeteria job descriptions, set the last day of school as June 23, 2025 (half day), and authorized submission of a Statement of Interest (SOI) to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for Holliston High School; the SOI vote passed by roll call, 7–0.
The Holliston School Committee recorded several formal actions during its March 13 meeting.
- Job descriptions: The committee approved three updated food‑service job descriptions — cafeteria general worker, kitchen manager and assistant kitchen manager — after administration provided revised language. The committee voted unanimously to approve the three job descriptions.
- School calendar: The committee set the last day of the 2024–25 school year as June 23, 2025, as a half‑day for students. Committee members said the date was necessary to finalize the calendar amid contractual and PD scheduling constraints.
- MSBA Statement of Interest: The committee voted to authorize the superintendent to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) to the Massachusetts School Building Authority for Holliston High School. The motion included a formal acknowledgment that filing an SOI does not guarantee MSBA approval or funding. The vote was taken by roll call and carried 7–0 (Frank: yes; Hillary: yes; Joe: yes; Sarah: yes; Cynthia: yes; Dawn: yes; Dan: yes).
- Executive session: The committee voted by roll call to enter executive session to discuss bargaining strategy; the meeting adjourned to executive session from which members did not return to open session.
The committee recorded no other final votes on FY26 budget numbers at the March 13 meeting; the budget subcommittee recommended a bottom line and scheduled a final vote for March 27.
