Weymouth School Committee approves revised attendance-area policy and subcommittee assignments. Superintendent Melanie Curtin warned that a state-mandated 1 percent budget increase will force staffing cuts to maintain current service levels in FY27, as receipts decline and insurance and utility costs rise.
