Committee approves two MOUs to stabilize exploratory schedule at regional middle school
Summary
The committee approved two memoranda of understanding tied to the exploratory schedule at the regional middle school: one temporary scheduling arrangement and one agreement for a local nonprofit to run environmental‑studies classes as a stopgap.
The school committee approved two interconnected memoranda of understanding to address scheduling complications at the regional middle school. Staff described the agreements as temporary measures to preserve exploratory classes (art, music, health and others) while administrators and the building-level team develop a longer-term schedule.
One MOU adjusts the exploratory schedule in the near term; the other contracts with a local nonprofit to deliver two environmental‑studies classes that help free teacher time and maintain student choice. Members asked staff to revise a deadline in the MOU from late September to October to allow realistic implementation timelines; the committee approved the updated MOUs and noted the agreements would supersede a prior June MOU.
Staff said Jake and his team will continue work to present a refined schedule during the school year.
