Nahant committee approves bills, notes staffing changes and upcoming events
Summary
The committee moved to approve bills including a $35,482 warrant, heard recruiting challenges for a 0.6 FTE administrative role, and received updates on hires (ESY staff) and resignations; multiple school events were listed for late May and June.
Committee members approved routine bills and heard updates on staffing and the school calendar at the May 26 Nahant School Committee meeting.
A committee member (S1) moved to approve the bills presented at the meeting, citing an amount of $35,482; the motion was seconded by the Chair (S3). The motion was treated as routine business during the meeting. The transcript records the motion and a second but does not show a roll-call vote or numerical tally in the minutes.
Superintendent (S2) and the Chair (S3) reported staffing changes: ESY (Extended School Year) positions were filled (ESY CODA: Taylor Murphy; ESY speech pathologist: Sarah Gardner). S3 also announced resignations, including Libra Smith and the district IT specialist; the IT role will be reposted as part time. The superintendent described recruitment challenges for a combined 0.6 FTE administrative position that merges director and team-chair duties and noted benefits and insurance considerations would factor into hiring.
The Chair (S3) reviewed upcoming events: a community night on June 4, field day on June 5 (rain date June 8), grade-level trips, and a grade 6 graduation on June 11. The committee also discussed student placements, noting two third-grade students will not return next year (one moved out of state, another to a charter school), which left the committee with only one third-grade vacancy to fill.
The committee reminded members of a special joint meeting with the Select Board on Wednesday, June 3 at 6:30 p.m. and previewed agenda items for the June meetings, including fund-transfer requests and the end-of-year budget closeout.
