Select Board <br /> Minutes <br /> August 11,2025 <br /> Selectman Cotton acknowledged that unexpected mid-year enrollments, particularly of <br /> students requiring special education services, can significantly impact the school budget. <br /> He referenced a recent instance where the school district had not anticipated a student <br /> transfer involving special needs and noted that even a small number of such cases could <br /> quickly strain available resources. <br /> Town Manager Rodney Collins clarified that the funds within the Special Education Reserve <br /> can only be used for special education purposes. Chair Wyman-Colombo emphasized that <br /> regardless of budgeting challenges, the Town has an obligation to meetthe needs of all <br /> students, reinforcing the importance of maintaining adequate reserves to ensure <br /> compliance and support for all learners. <br /> Vote: 5-0 Unanimous <br /> Roll Call Vote <br /> Selectwoman Wyman-Colombo-yes <br /> Selectman Weeden-yes <br /> Selectman Cotton-yes <br /> Selectwoman Kelley-Wilson-yes <br /> Selectman Richardson-yes <br /> Article 3-To see if the town willvoteto reserve from the FY2026 estimated Community <br /> Preservation revenues pursuant to MGLc.44B, S6 $1,314,443 <br /> Chair Wyman-Colombo stated the figures do not add up.
