Summary
At its regular meeting the Sandwich School Committee approved executive‑session and regular meeting minutes, voted to keep facility and athletic participation fees unchanged for 2026–27, approved decommissioning of district vehicles deemed beyond repair, and approved warrants; all recorded votes passed unanimously (6–0).
The Sandwich School Committee completed several routine governance actions during its regular business meeting, voting to approve minutes, affirm the proposed facility/user and athletic participation fees for fiscal 2026–27, surplus multiple district vehicles and approve warrants as presented.
Minutes: The committee approved both the May 27, 2026 executive‑session minutes and the regular meeting minutes of May 27, 2026. The motion to approve the regular minutes was moved by Kaylee and seconded by Sue; both motions passed with a recorded vote of 6 in favor.
Facility and user fees: The finance subcommittee recommended no changes to the facility use and athletic participation fees for 2026–27 after benchmarking and review. Committee members noted that unified sports fees can be waived and that fee waivers are available for families who qualify for free lunch. The committee voted to approve the proposed fees as presented; the motion passed 6–0.
Vehicle decommissioning: Facilities director Michael Ryan presented a request to decommission five district vehicles and several landscape trailers that staff deemed beyond repair. The committee voted to approve decommissioning and authorized staff to dispose of or sell the items for scrap or parts, with proceeds directed to vehicle maintenance; the motion passed 6–0.
Warrants: The committee approved the warrants signed that evening by voice vote; the motion passed unanimously.
No binding financial authorizations beyond the routine approvals were taken at the meeting. Committee members asked staff to report proceeds from any vehicle sales and to revisit fee schedules during the upcoming budget season if necessary.
