Please plan on joining at Town Meeting next week to vote on these articles for the schools. While roofs may not be the most exciting topic, they make a big difference in keeping our learning environments safe and comfortable for our students.

Your vote does matter. Town Meeting 10/29 will require a 2/3 vote followed by a 50% vote on Election Day 11/3.

Hingham Rec will be offering babysitting 6:30-10:00pm, registration available here: https://hinghamma.myrec.com/info/activities/program_details.aspx?ProgramID=29911

Learn more about the upcoming roof project at South Elementary School. The building was renovated and roof last replaced in 1998. Investing in a new roof for South will help our amazing Maintenance team continue to keep our buildings and teachers focused on student learning. The current roof has given us almost thirty years but we are seeing and feeling the impacts of it's age within the building.

Special Town Meeting will be held on October 29th where we will be discussing the South, Plymouth River and High School Improvement projects.

The School Committee has spent months working on the FY27 school budget, and I wanted to give some context to the current budget and warrant discussions.

When the 2023 override passed, town leadership agreed to a 3.5% growth guideline for the school operating budget. At the same time, everyone acknowledged that special education costs are different.

Out-of-district placements, transportation, and specialized services are legally mandated, and those costs have been rising statewide. Because of that, it was agreed that these expenses would be treated separately. Funding these services is not only the right thing to do but it is a legal obligation and a commitment our community already made.

Over the past two years the district has already reduced about 26.2 positions while adjusting to enrollment and financial pressures. This budget conversation is happening in a system that has already made significant changes.

The Advisory Committee will be reviewing the proposed school budget and school facility warrant articles this Thursday. The committee will be asking questions and reviewing the details and this is an important chance for residents to hear the discussion.
