Tyngsborough School Committee Enters Executive Session on Collective Bargaining

School Committee · Meeting of August 4, 2026

Tyngsborough School Committee hears summer progress report, approves entry into executive session on collective bargaining. The committee, meeting August 4 at Tyngsborough Middle School with Chair Ryan McMahon presiding, voted 6-0 to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining strategy after a session focused on district-wide summer preparations. Superintendent Mike Woodlock introduced his enrollment in the Massachusetts Superintendents Association's new superintendent induction program, noting his assigned coach is Karen Krevis, a retired Hopedale superintendent and former Massachusetts Superintendent of the Year, and said he will present a formal entry plan at the committee's next meeting in two weeks.

Assistant Superintendent Sarah Lewinzik detailed active summer work at all three school buildings, including a new grades three-through-five math curriculum at the elementary school, schedule restructuring at the middle school to create enrichment and extension time, and real-world learning program development at the high school. Student Wesley Riles, a rising junior, addressed the committee during citizen time with a Civics Action Project proposal to extend the 25-minute lunch period to 40 minutes, citing caloric intake concerns; the committee took no vote but suggested High School Principal Ogden connect with Riles to explore the idea.
