Summary
The Scituate School Committee approved minutes for March 2, adopted a revised school nurse job description, approved an overnight robotics field trip to Springfield, and assigned members to focus groups supporting the superintendent search.
At its March 16 meeting the Scituate School Committee handled several routine but formal items.
Minutes: The committee voted to approve the minutes of the March 2, 2026 meeting.
School nurse job description: The committee voted to approve an updated school nurse job description to replace a retiring Cushing nurse position; the description incorporates current terminology and references HIPAA and practice updates and was reviewed with district nursing leadership and the teachers' association.
Robotics overnight field trip: The committee approved an overnight field trip request for the SHS robotics team (if the team qualifies) to attend a district championship in Springfield, Massachusetts, from Wednesday, April 15 through Saturday, April 18. The committee discussed logistics, chaperone coverage and noted the per‑student cost presented by staff of $300.
Superintendent search focus groups: The committee reviewed a needs assessment process being run with First Beacon Consulting and assigned members to lead several in‑person focus groups (two committee members per group to avoid a quorum) to gather stakeholder input. Staff will check consent procedures for student participants and compile anonymous notes for the consultant; committees requested completion of focus‑group notes by early April to feed the needs assessment.
