School Committee OKs Camp Cody trip, new aide post
Hopkinton's School Committee heard start-time survey results and a literacy pilot plan.
School Committee · Meeting of June 18, 2026
Hopkinton's School Committee heard start-time survey results and a literacy pilot plan. Administrators reported 809 survey responses on grade reconfiguration for Charleswood's 2027-28 opening; keeping two start times would require buses costing roughly $400,000 a year, while a three-tier model would cost less but disrupt more families. A decision is targeted for September.
Administrators said teachers will pilot three elementary literacy programs, EL, Arts and Letters and Fish Tank, with full adoption possibly near $500,000. The committee approved a $435-per-student grade six trip to Camp Cody and one additional ABA paraprofessional position, funded by grants.
