The RSU 40 board approved multiple donations and moved several policies forward on first reading during the meeting.

The board approved a donation valued at over $1,000 from the Hannaford Helps Schools program designated for the middle school under policy KCD. A board member asked for clarification about how the Hannaford program works; staff explained patrons allocate funds via receipts and that the district has received nearly $3,000 in one instance. The motion carried unanimously per the meeting record (the transcript records the tally as '8 89 to 0'; the meeting minutes indicate unanimous board approval).

The board also approved a donation valued at over $1,000 to the Madonna Valley High School greenhouse, again under policy KCD. Administrators and board members thanked school partners and volunteers for their contributions.

On policy matters, the board approved for first reading the following items as recommended by the policy committee: DEDH (public participation at board meetings); JICK‑E1, JICK‑E2, and JICK‑E3 (RSU 40 bullying reporting form, investigation and response form, and summary of disciplinary/remedial action); and KI (Visitors to the Schools). Committee members moved each item, and each motion was recorded as passing on voice votes during the meeting.

No additional budgetary action accompanied these approvals during the meeting; the policies were approved for first reading rather than final adoption.
