Longer-form draft.

At its June 18 meeting the Hopkinton School Board approved an MOU with the Hopkinton Education Association that shifts professional development days to September 10 and March 11. The change ensures students are not in school buildings on voting days while meeting contract requirements.

The board also accepted a projected year-end surplus of $25,000 to $35,000 and directed those funds to Article 10. Finance members described the small remainder as evidence of improved budget accuracy. The consent agenda covering new hires, leave requests, and PTA donations of $4,000 for a sunshade and $999 for a lacrosse scoreboard passed without public comment or recorded debate.

Action items set for later include Safety Committee review of Sandy Hook Promise materials and testing of a new community platform in August. Draft goals include special education cost analysis and MTSS implementation tied to union negotiations. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hopkinton/school-board/2024-06-18/ #MeetingWatch #HopkintonNH
