School committee accepts community donations including 125 backpacks and sensory materials

The committee voted to accept multiple community donations to Norton schools, including supplies and backpacks distributed to all buildings and an additional 125 backpacks given directly to families through the food pantry.

Chair (S1) described the donations from the Norton Senior Center, Norton Prevention Services and St. Gregory's Church in Mansfield and noted CPAC contributed roughly $500 in sensory materials (adaptive seating and crash pads) to support middle- and high-school students. "So motion to accept material supply donations as presented," the chair said; a committee member moved and the motion was seconded. The committee voted in favor (recorded as "Aye").

Committee members thanked the partner organizations and noted the donations were already distributed. The record reflects acceptance of the materials into the public record and the chair thanked the groups for their contributions.
