At a glance: committee sets last day of school and approves student trip
Summary
The school committee declared June 23 (half day) the district’s official last day of school and approved an April 2027 overnight student trip to France; both actions were recorded on the May 14 meeting minutes (last day: unanimous; France trip: passed 4–0 with one abstention).
The North Andover School Committee recorded two formal outcomes during its May 14 meeting.
The committee voted to accept the superintendent’s recommendation that the official last day of school for North Andover Public Schools be June 23 (half day). A motion to adopt the recommendation was moved, seconded and confirmed by roll‑call style responses; the chair announced the motion carried.
The committee also approved an overnight student trip to France scheduled for April 2027. The trip is organized through a language‑school network that uses vetted host families. On the record the motion passed 4–0 with one abstention (Mister Brown recorded as the abstention).
