WINTHROP — The Winthrop School Committee approved two warrants totaling more than $619,000 and three facility-use requests at its August 24 meeting. Members approved warrant SPW 27-3 for $339,908.60 and a payroll warrant for $279,447.89, both by 6-0 roll-call votes with member Darcy not voting. The committee also waived the rental fee for a group identified as "Winner's" to use the GFB gymnasium every Sunday from September through April, and approved bookings for the Jessica Gordon Academy of Performing Arts and the Lady Vikings hockey team's car wash fundraiser.
The superintendent reported 13 homeschool applications had come in, with "probably maybe two or three more" expected, and said the district made "29 new hires in the district for the summer at all four buildings." No new business was reported, and unfinished business was deferred to the next meeting.
