School Committee Approves Framework for Athletic Fee Study
School Committee - Grafton Public Schools · Meeting of May 13, 2026
Grafton School Committee approves framework for studying potential athletic and activity fees. The committee unanimously approved a scope authorizing a subcommittee to analyze how Massachusetts towns structure athletic and activity fees, with the analysis focusing initially on athletics. Vice Chair Laura Often cautioned that Grafton's comparison with other districts must account for the town's $1.5 million in school choice and special education revenue.
The subcommittee will present data on participation rates and fee structures without recommending specific amounts. The committee also approved first readings on policies addressing gifted and talented education and homework grading practices.
