School Committee joint meeting with Select Board on FY26 Budget
Tuesday, February 11th at 7:00 PM – The School Committee will hold a joint meeting with the Select Board to discuss the FY26 budget. Attend in person at the Milton Council on Aging (10 Walnut Street), join virtually, or watch on Milton Access TV’s YouTube page.
It is very important that our Select Board understands how important our children's education is to us.
Take Action – Your Voice Matters!
A strong parent turnout will send a clear message that our families are engaged and demand solutions that protect our children’s education. Without strong involvement, these cuts will proceed.
Please share this message with other Tucker families. The more parents understand what’s at stake, the stronger our collective response will be.
Our children’s education depends on immediate action. Let’s show up, stay informed, and make our voices heard.
Critical Forum on School Budget
This coming Monday, February 10th at 5:00 PM, members of the School Committee and MPS Central Office will host a critical forum on the school budget at Milton High School’s Milton Access TV Studio (Room 245).

At this forum, you will learn about:
The current budget situation
Projected cuts and their direct impact on students
What the override means for your child’s education and school experience

UNITY Project Info Session
The UNITY Project is a 2024 parent collaboration across Milton's PTOs to revitalize and streamline the previous Reading About Diversity/RAD (2010) and Meet the Artist/MTA (2015) programs. It combines both curricula and expands the program to Pre-K through 5th grades with additional books and artists. The Program invites parents and guardians into the classroom to teach a quick lesson (approximately 45 minutes) with just a little bit of prep work. Please explore the UNITY Project website or more info about the provided lessons, materials, and how to volunteer.
We will be holding our first info session for the UNITY project on Monday, October 7th at 8:00pm via zoom and all are welcome to join!
