Committee approves two budget transfers, accepts $2,000 gymnastics donation
Summary
Foxborough School Committee approved two budget transfers totaling $123,501.78 (a $72,576.78 transfer for trash and recycling and $50,925 for transportation of five new foster care students) and accepted a $2,000 donation from Foxboro Gymnastics to support a high‑school assistant coach.
At its March 11 meeting the Foxborough School Committee approved two budget transfers and accepted a private donation.
Business Manager Miss Sheridan presented two transfers that required committee approval because they exceeded $25,000. The first transfer moves $72,576.78 from the private school tuition line to the trash and recycling services account to cover a contract that was finalized after the FY26 budget. The second transfer moves $50,925 from the private school tuition line into the special education transportation account to cover transportation costs for five newly enrolled foster‑care students. Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call (4–0).
The committee also accepted a $2,000 donation from Foxboro Gymnastics to pay for an assistant gymnastics coach at Foxboro High School. The motion to accept the donation “with gratitude” passed by roll call (4–0).
Administrators noted a minor typographical error in one transfer amount during discussion and corrected it before the vote. No member objected and there was no amendment to either transfer. The transfers will be reflected in FY26 accounting records and the donation will be incorporated into the athletics budget.
Next steps: Business office to post updated budget transfers to the district’s financial records and report back to the committee if additional mid‑year adjustments are necessary.
