Votes at a glance: executive session, Ludington waiver authorization and consent minutes approved
Summary
The Randolph School Committee voted to enter executive session under state law, authorized a waiver to allow Northern Trust to close out Ludington family scholarship payments, and approved meeting minutes.
At its virtual meeting the Randolph School Committee took a series of formal votes, recorded by roll call, including a vote to enter executive session under Massachusetts law, authorization to sign a waiver related to the Ludington family fund and approval of meeting minutes.
The committee first voted to move into executive session pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws chapter 30A, section 21(a)(1), to discuss reputation/discipline matters of an individual. The motion to enter executive session was made and seconded on the record; a roll-call affirmative vote was recorded for committee members present and the committee temporarily closed its public session.
Later in the meeting the committee considered a request from staff and the district’s contract counsel regarding the Ludington family fund. Northern Trust, the fund administrator, required a signed waiver under Florida law before certain payments could be made and the will could be closed out. Committee counsel reviewed the paperwork and recommended authorization. Andrea moved to authorize Dr. Stovell to sign the waiver on behalf of the district; the motion was seconded and the committee approved the authorization by roll-call vote.
The committee also approved the school committee meeting minutes for Feb. 13, 2025 by a roll-call vote.
