School committee approves donations, grants, field trip and routine financial items
Summary
The committee accepted a set of donations (laptops, supplies, Lifetouch funds, Custom Ink proceeds), approved a fifth‑grade out‑of‑state field trip, accepted grants and declared surplus equipment; votes were taken by voice and recorded as approved.
The Freetown‑Lakeville Regional School Committee on Dec. 10 approved a package of donations, grants and routine business items by voice vote.
Actions approved included acceptance of a donation of 20 HP EliteBook laptops from ZoomInfo; donation of school supplies from the United Way teacher closet for FES; Lifetouch proceeds to student activity accounts at Grace and FES; Custom Ink proceeds to FLMS music ($1,129.45); a $250 donation from the United Church of Christ in Lakeville for holiday baskets; acceptance of a single book donation to the FLMS library; acceptance of a MyCAP planning and implementation grant for $14,000 (spend‑by June 30); acceptance of Meyer Math Foundation number racks valued at $570; approval of a fifth‑grade field trip to the Providence Museum of Natural History and Planetarium; declaration of certain FES food‑service equipment as surplus; reassignment of several idle fund accounts to the business office; approval of payroll vendor warrants; and tabling approval of the 11/12/2025 regular session minutes (one abstention recorded for the tabling motion).
Most motions were moved and seconded on the record and passed by unanimous voice votes; where individual roll‑call tallies were not specified in the transcript, actions are recorded here as approved by the committee during the meeting. Several items had supplemental materials in the committee packet (itemized lists, field trip details, equipment lists) and the committee noted that funds from Lifetouch and auction proceeds are restricted to student activities and miscellaneous revenue accounting, respectively.
The committee adjourned at the end of the meeting following completion of the votes.
