Welcome to our Masconomet School Committee Blog

  • This blog is a vehicle through which we foster awareness of MSC topics, information, progress and resources for deeper learning. After each school committee meeting, we post meeting highlights and summary notes. We also post district highlights, updates, and community events.

    We intend to continuously connect our actions with the district vision. The school committee's focus is on vision, mission, policy, budget, superintendent oversight, and advocacy. We balance the needs of our many stakeholders, and monitor progress toward goals.

    To stay updated, follow us on the Masco App or follow us on Facebook.  Many thanks for your support!

    If you have questions please contact our Committee Chair.

    Congratulations to the recipients of 2023 Small Town Hero Award!
     
    Special thanks to the Student Council for their work in coordinating this unique event! Nominations collected online were shared with student clubs, who could then opt to select one to be recognized for their contributions. 
     
    This was the third annual Small Town Heroes Award ceremony, which began during the pandemic as a way to foster community by elevating people working to lift others -- a celebration of compassion and connection.

  • THANK YOU TO OUR MEMBER TOWNS FOR VOTING TO APPROVE MASCONOMET'S FY24 TOTAL EXPENDITURES BUDGET!

    Posted by MSC on 5/10/2023
    FY24 Budget Update:
    Middleton:
    • The warrant articles for Masco's FY24 operating budget and the Turf Field Design, Engineering and Permitting both passed at Middleton Town Meeting on May 9th.
    Boxford:
    • The warrant articles for Masco's base FY24 operating budget, FY24 operating budget override, and Turf Field Design, Engineering and Permitting all passed at Boxford Town Meeting on May 9th.
    • Boxford will now vote on a ballot question for their override at the Town Election, May 16th.
    Topsfield:
    • The warrant article for Turf Field Design, Engineering and Permitting and base FY24 operating budget both passed at Topsfield Town Meeting on May 2nd.
    • The FY24 operating budget override passed at both Town Meeting by voice vote at Topsfield Town Elections on the ballot, Question 2, on May 4th.
    Two of our three member communities must approve the full amounts included in both the Operating and Capital Budgets in order for Masconomet’s FY24 Total Expenditures Budget to “pass.” This has now been achieved, so the Budget passes! If Boxford supports their override at the ballot, then all member towns will be prepared to fully support Masco's FY24 Budget. THANK YOU!
