Cohasset School Committee adjourned its special meeting without voting on the FY27 budget after discovering faulty Zoom access information had been publicly distributed. Superintendent Dr. Sarah Shannon presented a final budget of approximately $26 million, a 4.83 percent increase over FY26 that included a modest late-stage funding boost, reducing but not eliminating a near-$1 million level-service deficit.
Committee Vice Chair Craig MacLellan raised concerns that proceeding with the vote under flawed meeting-access conditions would violate proper public notice requirements; member Corey D. Evans agreed. All five committee members present voted unanimously to adjourn and reconvene at a later properly scheduled date.
