Several items were discussed but not decided, including the larger question of pursuing a law‑enforcement‑employed SRO; the board tabled that question pending Oxford County commissioners' action.
The board recorded no immediate hires for the provisional safety position; administrators said hiring and funding would require separate board votes and personnel‑committee work.
