School committee approves consent agenda and a $6,000 transfer for dual‑language supplies
Summary
At its Oct. 6 meeting the Salem School Committee approved the agenda, the consent agenda (minutes, two field trips and a warrant) and a $6,000 budget transfer moving funds from dual language stipends to a supplies line; all motions passed on roll‑call votes.
The Salem School Committee voted unanimously on a set of routine and administrative motions during its Oct. 6 meeting, including approval of the agenda, a consent agenda of minutes and trips, and a requested budget transfer.
Approval of the agenda: Member Miranda moved to approve the meeting agenda; Member Cornell seconded. The committee carried the motion by roll call with members voting yes, including Member Hoffman, Member Miranda, Member Cornell, Member Cruz and the chair.
Consent agenda: The committee approved the consent agenda — which included the Sept. 24 regular meeting minutes, a high‑school music field trip to Hershey (Philadelphia, Pa.), a varsity boys cross‑country trip to the Cape Cod Fairgrounds, and the Sept. 25, 2025 warrant — on a roll‑call vote. Motion made by Member Cornell and seconded by Member Miranda; voting members recorded yes votes from Member Hoffman, Member Miranda, Member Cornell, Member Cruz and the chair.
Budget transfer: The committee approved a requested intra‑budget transfer of $6,000 to move funds from a dual‑language stipends line to a dual‑language instructional supplies line.
