Weston board approves revised visitor, security and student drug/alcohol policies

The Weston Board of Education voted to approve three policy revisions on Sept. 15 after second readings. The motions, each moved and seconded during the meeting, were approved by voice vote. The board approved a revision to policy 1250 (Visitors and Observations), a revision to 1600 (School Security and Safety), and a revision to 5131.6 (Drug and Alcohol Use by Students). Chair remarks indicate these items had been discussed at length in prior meetings and were brought back for final approval. Board members recorded the approvals by voice (“Aye”), and no roll‑call tallies or amendments were recorded in the public transcript. The approvals conclude the second‑read process; implementation will follow administrative procedures and any required communications to staff and families.
