School committee approves contracts, capital technology request and film permit
Summary
At its April 3 meeting the Easton School Committee approved a student‑film permit, a $250,000 capital request for technology and two employee contracts after executive session; votes were recorded by voice and roll call as unanimous in the public record.
The Easton School Committee recorded three formal actions at its April 3 meeting.
First, the committee voted to permit a Wheaton College student film production to use district facilities for a short thesis film. The production had submitted a script excerpt, a short‑film certificate of insurance, and child‑safety plans that referenced child labor rules ("child actors in this age range can only be on set for 9 hours and film for 5 for child labor laws," as read at the meeting). The committee called for logistics, custodial fees and union considerations to be worked out operationally by district staff.
Second, the committee approved a $250,000 capital request for FY2026 technology replacement and refresh items, primarily to replace Chromebooks that reached the end of their useful life. Administrators said the request focuses on equipment replacement only and that the project may be deferred depending on town capital priorities.
Third, after an executive session on collective bargaining the committee voted to ratify contracts for the Eastern Educators Association Unit A and for the district—lassified professional (power professional) group. The committee recorded a roll‑call approval for the contracts upon returning to open session.
All three actions were recorded as approved at the April 3 meeting. Specific mover/second attributions were not recorded in the publicly posted segment of the transcript.
