Gardner committee adopts multiple policies for reading, removes two policies flagged as redundant
Summary
The school committee voted to adopt multiple policies presented for reading (item 3707) excluding one background-check policy, and approved removal of two policies identified by MASC as redundant.
The Gardner School Committee voted to adopt a slate of school-district policies presented for reading and to remove two policies that the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) found redundant.
Mrs. Harps, representing the policy subcommittee, listed a series of policies recommended for adoption and said, "So we recommend the acceptance of the above policies. So we'll make a motion to do that." A motion to "adopt all of the items listed in item 3707 for reading the policies excluding policy DDA (background checks)" was made by Miss Terre and Missus Cormier; the committee voted "Aye" and the motion carried. The policies read earlier in item 3706 were scheduled for a vote at the September meeting.
On removals, the committee considered two policies described as "redundant or unnecessary" per MASC. The committee approved a motion by Mr. Schwartz to remove policies BDBA (duties of the chair) and BDBD (duties of the finance officer) from the policy manual; the motion carried by voice vote.
The committee also recorded that the DDA background-check policy would be tabled at this meeting and revisited later. No amendments or roll-call tallies were recorded in the provided minutes.
