The Leominster Public Schools School Committee on March 3 approved a series of routine and ceremonial items, including the 2026 school calendar, two field trips, a donation from the Boston Bruins Foundation and an honorary diploma request for a 105‑year‑old former student.
The calendar for the 2026 school year was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Committee members then approved the minutes of Feb. 3, 2025, again by voice vote. The committee also declared a set of obsolete items surplus and approved two field trips: a Skyview Middle School trip to Nature’s Classroom and a Leominster High School Student Council trip to the Massachusetts Association of Student Councils conference; both were approved by motion and second.
The committee accepted a donation to the Junior Achievement (JA) program from the Boston Bruins Foundation. Committee members approved routine warrants during the meeting.
