Weymouth School Committee Approves Collaborative Capital Reserve, Bids Farewell to Two Members

WEYMOUTH -- December 18, 2025, Weymouth School Committee closes 2025 by honoring two departing members and approving a South Shore Educational Collaborative Capital Reserve account. At its December 18 meeting, the committee unanimously approved a $773,045.78 financial warrant and voted to establish the capital reserve fund, which will accumulate surplus tuition revenues from the collaborative to cover future capital needs at its Hingham facility, no direct member-district assessments are planned. Michael Loche of the collaborative told the committee the fund is needed as a triple-net lease on the Hingham building nears its end. One member voted present due to a family member's enrollment at the collaborative. Superintendent Tracy Colburn and other officials offered extended tributes to Chair Kathy Nardone, a member since 2014, and a second departing member who joined in 2018, with State Senator Pat O'Connor and a representative of State Representative Murphy presenting citations from both legislative chambers. New athletic director Kristen Kelly reported the high school fielded just under 500 fall student athletes, collected approximately $20,000 in fall gate revenue, and saw freshman Samantha Noble win a Division 2 state championship in the 100-yard breaststroke. Three new committee members are scheduled to be sworn in January 5, 2026.
