At its June 15 meeting, the Sudbury School Committee approved a paid summer workshop with consultant Dr. Anthony Bent for $1,000–1,500. The 4-0 vote with one abstention followed questions about cost, open meeting law compliance, and whether the session would focus on operations versus relationships. The workshop is scheduled for July 27. The same meeting raised extracurricular club fees from $100 to $125 and set a $75 unified program fee for 2026-27. The increase passed unanimously after staff presented modeling showing current rates produce a deficit. No minimum enrollment thresholds were added, allowing smaller clubs to continue. The Q3 report was pulled from the consent calendar during the meeting and received no further discussion or vote. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/sudbury/school-committee/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #SudburyMA
