The Swampscott School Committee approved its consent agenda on May 28, accepting four donations intended to support athletics, a student trip, and the advanced manufacturing program.
Donations included support from the Big Blue Baseball Boosters for assistant baseball coaches and an additional outdoor track coach provided by the Swampscott Track Boosters.
