Votes at a glance: Lowell School Committee actions, Oct. 1, 2025

The Lowell School Committee took several formal actions on Oct. 1. Key outcomes: the committee approved minutes from the Sept. 17 meeting; granted permission to enter and approved routine agenda items; reinstated a safety subcommittee; asked the superintendent for a report on elevator and chairlift repair delays at Bartlett School; accepted the 2025 assessment and accountability report as a report of progress; approved a $155,000 budget modification; approved a request to add additional security officers at Lowell High School; accepted and expanded FY26 awards; approved certain invoices to be paid prior to contract execution; approved two out‑of‑state travel requests (AFJR ROTC drill team to New Jersey and an RPPL conference in Washington, D.C.); and voted to adjourn.

Where roll calls are recorded, the meeting transcript lists affirmative votes on the budget modification and personnel approvals, and notes passed motions for subcommittee formation and requests for reports. No ordinances, contracts, or award contracts were signed on the floor during this session; the committee instead directed administration to follow up with written reports and implementation steps.
