Leading up to the final budget approval, several presentations are provided to the School Committee for their consideration. The first of these presentations for the FY23 budget was on enrollment, and the second was an overview of the budget. In addition to the budget, there are several updates that I would like to share: COVID Update In a communication on October 8th, I shared that we had applied to DESE for a waiver of the masking requirement, which was subsequently approved for Gibbons Middle School and Westborough High School. We are now in the process of evaluating next steps. On October 27th we met with the Westborough Board of Health and presented a timeline for implementing Flexible Masking, which was discussed further at the School Committee meeting on November 2nd. Over the next two weeks we will be holding a series of discussions to plan implementation. We will reactivate the FAQ next week to keep everyone updated on plans. Update on the BORO Program Erin LaPrad, Director of the BORO Program, recently provided an update on how the program is growing and is offering a vibrant learning environment for students through the Sugar Shack, as well as volunteer opportunities within the community.
