At an unspecified meeting, the Taunton Public Schools Finance and Law Subcommittee took a series of routine financial and property actions by voice vote, including accepting a small donation, declaring surplus equipment at several properties, receiving a warrant item for "Coaching for Change," and approving bills payable totaling $1,201,970.02.

Donation: The committee accepted 52 gift cards valued at $25 each from the Prince Henry Society of Taunton intended for multilingual students. Staff reported a typographical correction to an attached memo: the total donation reads $1,300 after removal of an extra zero. The committee moved to accept the gift, to send a thank-you, and the motion carried by voice vote.

Disposal of surplus equipment: The committee declared items surplus at Galligan Elementary School, the Extended Day Care facility (also referred to as 66 Summer Street), and 2 Hamilton Street. The committee approved a plan for the Galligan and Extended Day Care items to be sold at an on‑site yard sale open to the public after they are declared surplus. Items remaining at 2 Hamilton Street were approved to be gifted to an alumni organization or a historical society affiliated with a contact named Cloe Cassidy; committee members specified the intention to gift those items rather than sell them.

Coaching for Change: A warrant item related to "Coaching for Change" was on the warrant and, with no further discussion, was received and placed on file by voice vote.

Bills payable: The committee approved bills payable for FY '25 in the amount of $1,201,970.02 by voice vote. A committee member requested a motion amendment on a voucher (voucher number 24521, $9,008.82) to record a conflict-of-interest disclosure that the member serves as co‑treasurer and a director for the vendor (recorded as an amendment to include the member as voting present on that voucher). The committee also discussed several line items during the bills review, including recruitment materials, Apple purchases for special education, radio batteries/radios and pavilion floors; one item noted as grant-funded was the Apple purchase for special education.

Other business: A query about an alternative high school item (referred to as Cohen/alternative high school) was noted as still under research by staff. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, carried by voice vote.

Votes at a glance: Every listed motion described above was adopted by voice vote and recorded in the meeting as "Aye" with no recorded named roll-call votes.
