Summary
The Wakefield School Committee unanimously approved the FY 2627 draft calendar, confirmed posting to the district website, and laid Policy Book B (board governance) on the table for review with a planned vote at the next meeting.
The Wakefield School Committee unanimously approved the FY 2627 draft calendar on Jan. 27 and agreed to post the calendar publicly once finalized. Members checked the placement of Juneteenth on the draft and thanked the administration and the Wakefield Education Association for input.
A formal motion to approve the FY 2627 draft calendar was moved, seconded and passed by roll call with all voting members recorded as yes. Committee members asked that the calendar be posted to the district website promptly to aid family planning.
Separately, the Policy and Communications subcommittee reported that it had laid Policy Book B (board governance) on the table for committee review and asked that the full committee be prepared to vote on Policy Book B at the next meeting after members complete their review. The motion to table section B as presented was seconded and approved by roll call.
Other procedural items: the committee approved consent-agenda minutes for Jan. 12 and Jan. 20, 2026, and moved to adjourn at the meeting’s close; all votes were recorded by roll call.
Next steps: the calendar will be posted publicly; Policy Book B will return for a vote at the committee’s next meeting (Feb. 10); an executive session will precede that meeting at 6:00 p.m.
