Middle School Sports Expansion: Field Hockey Revival and New Football Program Proposed
The Sharon School Committee discussed the potential revival of the middle school field hockey program and the establishment of a new middle school football program. The field hockey program, which previously existed, would play against local schools and serve as a feeder for the high school program, with a proposed fee of $150. The new football program aims to complement the high school co-op program and prepare students for rebuilding the high school team. It would involve two coaches and compete in the Patriot League, with a proposed fee of $350 to cover program costs including coaching, equipment, and transportation. The committee expressed concerns regarding the financial viability of the football program and the need for detailed cost breakdowns.
Cottage PTO Donates $75,000 for New Elementary School Playground; Timely Completion Emphasized
The Sharon School Committee voted to approve a $75,000 donation from the Cottage PTO towards the construction of a new playground at Cottage Street Elementary School. The committee also discussed the importance of timely updates on the playground construction project to ensure it is completed before the start of the school year, drawing from past experiences with delays at Heights Elementary. Bi-weekly updates throughout the summer were requested to monitor progress and prevent a recurrence of playground unavailability.
School Committee Adopts New Procedures for Correspondence and Warrants Management
The Sharon School Committee voted to adopt new procedures for managing correspondence and processing warrants. The correspondence procedures aim to standardize how correspondence is summarized and managed, including unsubscribing from unsolicited commercial mailing lists. The warrants process will be centralized in a shared drive folder for improved accessibility, and committee member Georgianne will continue to sign the warrants. These changes are intended to improve internal operational efficiency and compliance.
