Board approves revisions to Policy 4110 (student attendance calendars) after brief committee review
Summary
The board voted 9'0to'00 to approve revisions to Policy 4110 (student attendance calendars). Committee chair Christopher Larrabee moved the recommendation; members discussed participation in regional exams and listed planning reasons for the change.
Christopher Larrabee, policy committee chair and board member, moved the policy recommendation to approve revisions to Policy 4110 (student attendance calendars). The motion carried unanimously.
The policy committee's presentation clarified that the district will not participate in the first-year administration of certain regional exams on specified dates, so students will be in regular attendance on those days. Larrabee said the committee removed notations that the district was participating in those regional exams because the district would not administer them in the first year of that test administration.
Why this matters: the revision affects the district calendar for 2025'26 and clarifies which exam administration dates the district will treat as regular school days. Board members asked procedural questions about the changes and received clarification that the move was intended to allow planning time and curriculum alignment.
On the motion: "On behalf of the policy committee, on the motion made by committee chair member Christopher Larrabee, recommendations that the revisions made to the above stated policy 4110 be approved as presented," Larrabee said. The chair called for the vote and the motion carried 9'0to'o.
