Article 6, brought forward by the School Committee, proposes accepting Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40, Section 13E to establish a special education reserve fund. This fund would allow the school district to set aside money for fluctuating special education resource demands. According to Town Counsel Robert Galin, money from this fund could be expended without further Town Meeting appropriation, requiring only a majority vote from both the School Committee and the Select Board.

Despite the School Committee's advocacy for the fund as a tool to manage annual budget volatility, the Select Board does not support the article. Town Moderator Jim Fitzgerald clarified that since it is a School Committee proposal, the Town Meeting will decide whether to adopt the provision by a majority vote regardless of the Select Board's stance.
