Votes at a glance: Nashoba committee approves consent agenda, middle-school pathway policy and Chapter 70 FY26 revenue adjustment

The Nashoba Regional School Committee approved three formal items in its Oct. 22 meeting: the consent agenda, adoption of a middle-school pathway exploration policy (IF-1), and a FY26 revenue amendment that records an additional $225,375 in state Chapter 70 education aid.

Consent agenda: The committee voted to approve the consent agenda. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from members present, recorded in the meeting as "Yes" from Jackie, Scott, Robin, Sharon, Shondor, John, Jillian, Lindsey and others.

Middle-school pathway exploration policy (IF-1): The committee moved and seconded the policy on second reading and voted to adopt it as presented in the meeting materials. The chair asked for discussion, none was raised, and the policy passed by recorded affirmative vote from committee members present (names recorded in the roll call: chair, Scott, Karen, Lindsay, Jillian, Robin, Matt, John, Jackie, Shondor).

FY26 Chapter 70 amended revenue: The committee voted to approve an amendment to FY26 revenue sources to record an increase in Chapter 70 education aid of $225,375 — raising Chapter 70 to $10,547,898 — and to reduce the FY26 excess-and-deficiency appropriation by the same amount to $1,174,625. The motion was seconded and passed by roll call with the committee voting "Yes." The administration noted there is no impact on member-town assessments for FY26 because assessments had been set earlier.

Motions and votes at the meeting were recorded verbally and in roll call; no "no" or "abstain" votes were recorded for these items in the meeting transcript.
