School Committee adopts four policies on second reading

School Committee · Meeting of October 22, 2026

LITTLETON — The Littleton School Committee adopted four school governance policies and approved an overnight Model UN trip to Dartmouth College at its October 22 meeting. Members heard updates on the district's AI guidelines from LPS Innovation Administrator Heidi MacGregor and Julie Lord, including approved tools Gemini and Gemini Notebook, both governed by a student data privacy agreement. Director of Teaching and Learning Beth Steele unveiled a new "Open Architects" dashboard showing MAP growth data: 84 percent of students scored at or above grade level in math and 81 percent in reading last spring, with "95 percent" scoring low average or above in both subjects.

Business Manager Steve Mark reported FY26 closed with just $1,290 unspent. The committee also flagged a $50,000 town meeting article to rehabilitate high school ball fields displaced by the Shaker Lane building project.
