Dover-Sherborn Regional School Committee unanimously approved its consent agenda and an overnight field trip to Utah, Nevada, and Arizona for spring 2027. Chair Angie Johnson convened the May 5 meeting with six members present. The district's FY26 financial report, as of April 30, showed Chapter 71 revenues increased $60,000 based on a reimbursement rate exceeding 80 percent, though salaries carried a projected $100,000 negative variance stemming from elevated educator leaves and two unbudgeted educational assistant positions; grant funds of $35,000 are expected to cover part of the shortfall.
Superintendent McCoy announced hiring of a 6-12 Curriculum Coordinator position funded by savings from an unreplaced educator retirement, reflecting enrollment decline.
