No other major splits occurred. Budget transfers, policy second readings, and Thoreau fire response plans all passed by consensus or unanimous vote. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/school-committee/2026-05-06/

Longer-form draft.

At its May 6 meeting the Concord School Committee seated newly elected members Andrew Herchek, Drew Magleiozi, Tracy Morano, Sandy Piseri, and Michael Williams. It then voted 3-0 with two abstentions to postpone election of committee chair and vice chair until the June 3 regional meeting when Carlisle members are seated.

The same meeting approved FY26 budget transfers covering benefits, out-of-district tuition, and maintenance. It also received an update on the third fire in nine years at Thoreau School’s 1994 wing and plans to install a new fire suppression system before the next school year.

Second readings passed for regional policies BCAB, KI, and EFBA. First readings advanced for three additional policies revised to meet a DOJ agreement on harassment and anti-semitism, with a vote scheduled for June 3. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/concord/school-committee/2026-05-06/ #MeetingWatch #ConcordMA
