Votes at a glance: consent agenda, modern band course and tuition rates approved
Summary
The Greenwich Board of Education recorded several formal votes Feb. 26: the consent agenda passed, a modern band honors course was added to the high-school catalog, and updated tuition rates for K–12 and preschool were approved.
At its Feb. 26 meeting the Greenwich Board of Education recorded these formal actions and outcomes:
- Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda. The meeting record indicates the consent agenda passed by a 6-to-1 count after several board members registered abstentions during a brief technical difficulty.
- Honors modern band course: The Board voted unanimously to add a modern honors band course to the Greenwich High School curriculum. Board discussion was brief; the motion carried 7–0.
- Tuition and fees: The board voted to update the district's tuition methodology and approved new 2025–26 tuition rates tied to a recent per‑pupil expenditure calculation. The board voted to adopt the revised rates so the town and BET (Board of Estimate and Taxation) could reflect the updated revenue assumptions. The recorded vote was 7–0.
- Riverside School ed specs (see separate article): The board also approved the Riverside School feasibility specifications as amended (two preschool classrooms removed). The board directed staff to return revised cost estimates and to deliver a broader analysis of preschool-capacity options.
Ending: The board's votes move several items forward to administration and the town budget process; the administration will provide updated cost estimates and follow-up reporting where requested.
