Votes at a glance: committee approves calendar, purchasing policies, jersey sale, facility uses and surplus Chromebooks
Summary
At its June 13 meeting the Blackstone–Millville School Committee approved the corrected 2024–25 calendar, three purchasing/procurement policy revisions, a fundraiser to sell pre‑worn athletic jerseys, several facility use requests and a surplus disposal of broken Chromebook shells.
The Blackstone–Millville Regional School Committee took a series of routine but consequential votes on June 13. Highlights and outcomes:
- Calendar: The committee approved a corrected 2024–25 school calendar after identifying that the prior draft showed 179 days instead of the required 180; the motion to approve the revised calendar passed by voice vote.
- Purchasing and procurement policies: The committee approved three updated fiscal policies (replacement of file DJ with DJ1, updated Regional School District purchasing authority and a new DJ E1 procurement file); the revisions align district practice with recent state procurement changes while retaining local competitive‑pricing practices. The committee waived first reading and approved the policies by voice vote.
- Sale of pre‑worn athletic jerseys: Members approved a plan to clean out stored athletic uniforms and sell vintage or high‑quality jerseys as a fundraiser; funds will be returned to the district and allocated by the school committee at its discretion (motion by Erin, second by Tara; approved).
- Facility use requests: The committee approved use requests for youth basketball skills clinics (multiple July dates) and an Express football/cheer booking for July 22, charging custodian fees as appropriate.
- Surplus Chromebooks: The committee approved a surplus/disposal request for roughly 80 Chromebook shells and about 100 broken frames; disposal will follow e‑waste procedures and a disposal cost will be reported later.
Most votes were conducted by voice and recorded as approved; the transcript does not record numeric tallies or a roll‑call for every motion.
