School Board Initiates Review of New Policy with Drummond Woodson's Input

The RSU 05 Board meeting held on April 30, 2025, focused on the potential development of a new policy aimed at enhancing school protocols. Board members discussed the need for a thorough review and drafting process, emphasizing the importance of understanding how any new policy would integrate with existing protocols.

During the meeting, there was a general consensus among board members to direct the policy committee to explore this initiative further. The discussion highlighted that this step would not involve immediate approval of the policy but rather a commitment to investigate its implications for the district and its students.

Board members acknowledged the necessity of consulting with relevant stakeholders, including Cynthia, who has worked closely with the committee. They stressed the importance of understanding the current protocols in place at the school and how a new policy could formalize these processes.

The board set expectations for the timeline, indicating that any findings or proposals would likely be presented in the fall, following two more scheduled meetings. The last working meeting of the school year is set for June, where the committee will review the year’s progress and outline future steps.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's proactive approach to policy development, aiming to ensure that any changes would be beneficial for the school community.
