School committee adopts updated policy manual; approves food‑service advisory, minutes and lacrosse trip
Summary
The Groton‑Dunstable Regional School District School Committee unanimously approved a consolidated policy manual, Policy ADF (food services advisory), ratified prior meeting minutes and authorized an overnight boys lacrosse trip.
Michelle Hu, chair of the Groton‑Dunstable Regional School Committee, said the committee unanimously adopted a fully updated Groton‑Dunstable Policy Manual and rescinded prior versions, approved Policy ADF (a food services advisory tied to vendor oversight), approved the Feb. 26 meeting minutes and authorized an overnight boys lacrosse field trip as presented in the meeting packet.
The actions were handled by motion and roll call votes during the committee meeting. Chair Michelle Hu moved the committee to adopt the updated manual as presented and conducted a roll call that showed unanimous support. The committee separately took a second reading and vote on Policy ADF to formalize a food‑services advisory connected to the school committee and administration rather than being run through the vendor. The committee also approved the Feb. 26 minutes and the boys lacrosse overnight trip as presented.
The votes put the district’s consolidated policy manual online immediately and formalized a standing advisory process for food services that the committee said will allow the district and administration to monitor contract performance regardless of vendor changes. The committee chair said the updated manual “will be online, and live tomorrow.”
