Board approves several policy revisions on second reading, schedules other policies for later review

At the meeting, the Alexander County Board of Education approved on second reading a package of proposed policy revisions with no additional changes, then held a first reading on another set of policies.

Dr. Alicia Cloller presented the second-reading packet, which the board indicated had no new changes since the prior meeting. The policies listed for second reading were numbered 3620, 4023, 4040 and 4240; a motion to approve was made by board member Arguelles and seconded by board member Jesse Bowles. The board voted unanimously in favor of the motion.

On first reading, Cloller presented proposed revisions to policies 6220 (operations of school nutrition services), 6330 (insurance of student transportation), 7130 (licensure), 7820 (personnel files) and 9210 (care and maintenance of grounds and outdoor equipment). The presenter noted redline changes to be reviewed; no vote was taken on those first-reading policies during open session.

Board members were asked if they had questions; none were recorded for the second-reading packet. The first-reading materials will return to the board at a future meeting for further consideration and potential action.
