Board allows student to remain tuition-free after family moved out of town
Summary
After an executive session, the Sterling Board of Education approved a parent request to allow a student to remain at Sterling Community School tuition free for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year; the decision was unanimous and followed an executive session that included the superintendent.
The Sterling Board of Education voted Jan. 15 to permit a student whose family moved out of town to remain enrolled at Sterling Community School tuition free for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year.
Board members discussed a parent request and entered executive session to review the matter. Vice Treasurer Victoria Robinson-Lewis moved and Jennifer Mossner seconded a motion to enter executive session; Superintendent Theodore Friend was invited to attend. The board entered executive session at 6:35 p.m. and exited at 6:40 p.m.
After returning to open session, Treasurer Dorothy Capobianco moved to approve the parent’s request and Jennifer Mossner seconded. The motion carried with all in favor. The minutes record the outcome but do not provide additional details about the student or the rationale discussed in executive session; funding or the administrative arrangements to allow the student to remain tuition free were not specified in the public minutes.
Because the board considered the request in executive session, the minutes do not include discussion details; the decision recorded in the minutes is limited to the final motion and vote. No appeals or next steps were recorded in the minutes.
