Longer-form draft.
At the June 23 School Committee meeting, members approved two stipends of $6,673 each for literacy and math curriculum coaches to support consistent MTSS data use and Tier 2/3 interventions across K-12. Both votes passed 5-0-0. The board also reviewed shifting health and PE standards, including moving some topics earlier to middle school. Parents may preview and opt out of human sexuality lessons but not other required health or PE content. Full adoption was paused until the complete standards packet is reviewed together. Wellness Committee meetings begin October 8. A first reading was held on the updated restraint and seclusion policy to comply with new state regulations that largely eliminate seclusion. Second reading is scheduled for late August. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/burlington/school-committee/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #BurlingtonMA
