Summary
At the June 10 meeting the board authorized a renewal with Whitsons Food Service for 2025–26 and completed second reads to adopt, amend or repeal multiple district policies by voice vote. The board recorded motions, seconds and voice outcomes; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public meeting transcript.
The Ellington Board of Education approved a contract renewal with its food-service vendor and enacted multiple policy changes during the June 10 meeting.
Action A: The board approved a renewal agreement with Whitsons Food Service for the 2025–26 school year. The motion was moved from the floor and seconded; the board carried the motion by voice vote (Chair called for ayes; opposition/abstentions were addressed orally and the chair announced the motion carried). The public transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
Action B–G: The board’s policy committee brought multiple items for second read and action; all were carried by voice vote. The actions recorded in the public minutes were: - Policy 1200 (School Safety and Security): second read and approved. - Policy 1350 (Visitors and Observations in Schools): second read and approved. - Repeal of Policy 5120 (Bullying Prevention and Intervention): motion carried; the policy was repealed. - Repeal of Policy 5110 (Administration of Naloxone/Opioid Overdose Prevention): motion carried; the policy was repealed. - Adoption of new Policy 5125 (Connecticut …): second read and adopted; the transcript lists the policy number but the meeting transcript does not include the full policy title or text. - Adoption of new Policy 5460 (Restorative Practices Response): second read and adopted.
Where a seconder was named in the transcript the record notes who seconded (for example, “seconded by Marsha,” “seconded by Jen”); the public record on the audio transcript shows voice votes with ayes and the chair’s announcement of the outcome. The transcript does not provide individual board member roll-call votes or numeric tallies for these motions.
The board accepted correspondence at the end of the meeting and then adjourned.
