The Walpole School Committee voted to approve an amendment to the Tech Collaborative Agreement and a series of routine items — meeting calendar, payroll and accounts payable warrants, donations, and minutes — during its Jan. 9 meeting.

Amendment to Tech Collaborative Agreement: Committee members voted to amend the Tech Collaborative Agreement to add two new members identified in the motion as “KP” and “Sharon.” The motion to approve the amendment was moved and seconded during the meeting and the committee recorded the motion as adopted. Committee member Miss Donitio made the motion and Miss Cyrick seconded it on the record. The amendment was described as required to meet DESE requirements for the collaborative; the committee chair noted that representatives from the prospective member districts had met with the collaborative before the vote.

The meeting record shows each item was approved by voice vote and the minutes record the committee’s standard “all those in favor” routine; the transcript does not include roll‑call tallies or named individual votes for these routine items except where the mover and seconder were stated. The committee moved on to the superintendent’s report following the Tech Collaborative vote.

Ending: These approvals implement administrative and collaborative changes previously reviewed by committee members and require no additional committee action recorded at this meeting.
