Committee approves summer field trip, new badminton club and two donations
Summary
The Hampden-Wilbraham School Committee unanimously approved a middle school field trip to Sonny's Place, recognized a new Hamden Hall badminton club, accepted donations of $3,400 and $1,000, and passed the consent agenda; roll-call votes were recorded.
At the April meeting the Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School Committee approved several routine items by roll call.
The committee voted to approve a proposed middle-school field trip to Sonny's Place in Enfield for the summer; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members recorded as voting in favor. The committee also voted to recognize a new badminton club at Hamden Hall; members discussed the club-start process (student initiative, faculty advisor, potential fundraising) before approving the recognition and any modest account authority for club purchases.
On the consent agenda, the committee approved routine items and accepted two donations: $3,400 from the Falcons Athletic Booster Club to Minnechaug Regional High School athletics and $1,000 from the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts to the Richard J. Moriarty Information Center at Green Meadows School. Chair and members expressed appreciation for community support.
Procedural note: The committee moved to enter executive session under Massachusetts General Laws chapter 30A, section 21A to discuss collective bargaining and litigation matters and student-records statutes; the committee voted to go into executive session and adjourn from there.
