Newbury Historical Commission discussed the possibility of adding a student to its board. The six-member commission approved August minutes and accepted a Fiscal 2027 Treasurer's report with a new $3,500 Special Article Fund. Members addressed ongoing historic projects: the Lower Green Historic District nomination remains pending state notification, a website redesign continues with town IT coordination, and recent Schoolhouse repairs including new doors and curtains were discussed, pending arrival of a teacher and two new students.
In new business, commissioners considered adding a seventh voting member, focusing on recruiting a Triton School student for the position; member Lon Hachmeister noted similar boards include student voting members, though town approval would be required. No formal vote was taken.
