Timberlane school board approves minutes, first read of 2025–26 program of studies; tables two policies
Summary
At its December meeting the Timberlane Regional School District school board approved public and nonpublic minutes, took a first read and approval of the 2025–26 high school Program of Studies, tabled two policies for further review and confirmed one professional nomination.
The Timberlane Regional School District school board approved a set of routine and substantive items at its meeting, including the first read and board approval of the high school's 2025–26 Program of Studies and a professional nomination.
The board voted to approve the public meeting minutes of Nov. 21 and the nonpublic session minutes of Nov. 21. A motion made to move a 30‑minute agenda block to the end of the meeting also passed. Specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript; motions were approved by voice vote.
The board took a first read and formal approval of the TRHS 2025–26 Program of Studies. Mark Pearson presented the draft and an executive summary included an action key (add, remove, archive) and brief rationales for each change. The document had previously passed two rounds at the Curriculum and Assessment Committee and will return to the board for a second read later in December before going to print over the December break.
Policy business: the board voted to table policies EBCA and GBEV and return them to the policy committee after a board member raised concerns that required additional review. The board said the policies will be reconsidered after further work by the policy committee.
Personnel: the board approved the professional nomination of Shannon Anastasia as school nurse at Sandown North.
Why it matters: the Program of Studies sets course offerings and curricular changes for the coming school year; tabling the two policies delays any immediate policy changes until the policy committee reviews a recently raised concern.
Actions at the meeting are summarized below.
