Berlin-Boylston committee reviews finalized BBEA contract in executive session, votes to return to open session
Summary
The Berlin-Boylston Regional School Committee met in executive session June 24, 2025, to discuss a finalized contract between the Negotiation Subcommittee and the BBEA; the committee discussed updates, asked questions, and voted 6-0 to adjourn the executive session and reopen in open session.
Michael Totman, chair of the Berlin-Boylston Regional School Committee, asked members whether they had reviewed a “finalized” contract between the Negotiation Subcommittee and the BBEA at Central Office during the week before the June 24, 2025, executive session. The committee discussed the update and asked questions; the transcript does not record contract terms or further details.
The meeting opened as an executive session under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30A, Section 21(a)(3), which permits closed meetings when public discussion could harm the board’s bargaining position. The transcript references the BBEA CBA but does not expand the acronym or disclose contract provisions.
After discussion, member Jessica Deglialberti moved to adjourn the executive session and reopen in open session; Lisa Mair seconded the motion. A roll call vote recorded unanimous approval, 6-0: Jessica Deglialberti, Elisabeth Mancini, Meagan Grill, Lisa Mair, Lori-Anne Hart and Michael Totman each voted “Aye.” The record notes that minutes were taken by District Clerk Lori-Anne Hart. The transcript ends with the motion passing; any subsequent open-session business is not recorded in this excerpt.
