The Dennis‑Yarmouth Regional School Committee approved two policies during its Jan. 6 meeting.

Policy DJA — Superintendent purchasing/contract authority: The committee voted to approve policy DJA, which affirms that the superintendent may make purchases and enter contracts for periods of up to three years without further committee approval, except where law or committee policy requires committee action. A committee member moved to approve "policy DJA as presented" and the motion received a second; the committee recorded the approval by voice vote.

Policy KDCB — District website and social media: The committee also approved a new policy, KDCB, governing the district website and authorized school‑district social media accounts. The policy states that district and school online platforms will be maintained by district staff acting in their professional capacities, that commenting on district and school sites will be turned off to ensure timely public communication via appropriate venues, and that sites will clearly indicate the policy and direct users to official contact channels. A motion to approve KDCB was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote.

The meeting minutes and policy documents will be available through the district once the clerk posts them. The committee did not record a roll‑call tally for either policy in the verbal record; both were adopted by voice votes in the meeting.
