The school department requested replacement of a decades-old tractor used for field preparation and light snow work; the committee approved $45,174 for a new unit.
School staff described operational needs (field prep, snow clearing) and said the replacement does not require operators to have a hoisting license. Committee members discussed whether DPW might share equipment or absorb responsibilities in the future; the committee amended an initial $48,000 request down to $45,174 to match the vendor quote and voted to approve the purchase 5–0.
