A series of routine and personnel-related votes were recorded during the April meeting of the Freetown-Lakeville Regional School District school committee.

The motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the motion as passing after a voice "Aye." The committee did not read a roll-call tally into the record in the excerpt provided.
PTO donation: The Grace PTO donated $1,000 to replace percussion instruments for fourth- and fifth-grade general music students. The committee accepted and approved the donation by voice vote.

Minutes and executive session: The committee approved regular-session minutes for 04/29/2025. The committee also approved executive-session minutes from 09/25/20XX but voted not to release those executive-session minutes until collective bargaining is complete, as allowed under the committee's practice; that motion carried by voice vote.
Adjournment: The committee concluded the meeting with a motion to adjourn that passed.
What the transcript shows and what it does not: Each listed item passed on voice vote; the transcript excerpt does not contain a written roll-call tally for these items, so individual member votes are not recorded in the provided text.
