Groton School Committee Approves 2026-27 Subcommittee Assignments

School Committee · Meeting of August 17, 2026

Groton School Committee ratifies 2026-27 subcommittee assignments after a June agenda slip. Members voted 3-0 by roll call on a motion to approve subcommittee and liaison assignments "as presented in the packet," a redo made necessary because the item was left off June's agenda. The panel previewed a fall reorganization calendar: CIAA meets August 26, budget and finance (BNF) meets September 9, and policy and communications both meet September 14.

A staff member identified as Marion announced a $146,000 PRISM II grant for K-3 literacy review, "in support of our review and adoption of a core literacy program in grades K to three." Staff member Jeff reported an MSBA tour of the district's newer elementary building, part of a possible model-school designation, saying, "we had five or six visitors from the MSBA this morning and did a tour."
