School choice public hearing
The committee opened a required annual public hearing on whether to participate in the Massachusetts interdistrict school choice program. The superintendent recommended opting out, noting the state reimbursement of $5,000 per student is substantially below the district's per-pupil operating costs and that current class sizes remain near policy limits.
- State tuition reimbursement is set at $5,000 per student.
- District per-pupil expenditure was cited as $23,911.
- School committee class size guidelines leave little excess capacity.
Outcome: Hearing closed; formal vote held later in the meeting.
