Selectboard asks lawyer to review Teach America How to Swim contract; schedules budget work session
Summary
The Selectboard asked a lawyer to review a revised Teach America How to Swim contract that includes liability changes, and scheduled a budget work session for Dec. 16 to continue preparing the 2026–27 budget and Town Meeting warnings.
The Selectboard reviewed a revised contract from Teach America How to Swim and noted significant changes in the liability section compared with last year. The board asked that the town lawyer review the contract before signing and said it will revisit the item at a future meeting.
Separately, the Selectboard continued work on the 2026–27 budget and set a follow‑up meeting for Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 5:00 p.m. to continue preparing the Town Report and Town Meeting warnings.
Why it matters: Contract liability terms can affect town exposure and insurance; the board’s request for legal review is a standard risk‑management step. The budget meeting sets the next procedural date for resident notice and budgeting decisions.
