SHARON — Tri-board meeting addresses insurance coverage gap and state aid uncertainty. Town Administrator Fred Turkington reported that the town's property, casualty, and liability insurance carrier is cancelling coverage, with total insurance expenses around $1.9 million and pricing not yet finalized; the boards discussed improved communication protocols for legal claims involving schools. State aid projections remain volatile: the town may receive an additional $300,000 if the Senate compromise is adopted, but the solar lease revenue project has been delayed by developer financing issues, jeopardizing the budgeted $500,000 in FY27 solar revenue.
The Finance Committee, Select Board, and School Committee voted unanimously to enter Executive Session to discuss collective bargaining strategy with the Sharon Teachers Association.
