The New Castle Community School Board of Trustees approved the final reading of School Board Policies Batch #6 and separately approved Resolution F275 governing gift cards during its Sept. 8 meeting. The board also conducted the first reading of School Board Policies Batch #7, which includes policy F100-R.
An agenda amendment introduced by Superintendent Matthew Shoemaker removed policy F100-R from Batch #6 and added it to Batch #7. The amendment to the agenda was accepted before votes on the batches. The final reading of Batch #6, as amended, was moved by Secretary Jaci Hadsell, seconded by Member Josh Estelle, and approved 5-0.
The board voted 5-0 to approve Resolution F275, the district's gift-card policy. That motion was made by Secretary Jaci Hadsell and seconded by Member Jamey Marcum. The first reading of Batch #7, which includes the reinserted F100-R, was presented to the board; the minutes record it as a first reading and do not document a final vote on Batch #7 during this meeting.
The minutes show no retiree recognition items and no recorded public comments on these agenda items. The transcript does not include the text of the new or amended policies or the specific provisions of F275 or F100-R, so the public record here is limited to procedural approvals and the agenda amendment.
