Summary

The board approved a set of second‑read policy updates (updates to discrimination contact points, replacement of bullying prevention with a school climate policy, family medical leave series, and use of school facilities) and confirmed committee chairs and liaisons for the year.

At second read the board voted to approve several policy updates and to make committee appointments and liaison recommendations.

The changes included updating contact information in the policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment, replacing the district’s bullying prevention and intervention policy with a school climate policy, approving the family medical leave (series 400) updates as presented, and adopting a revised use‑of‑school‑facilities policy. Board members noted many policies originate from district counsel and must be kept in legal alignment; several members suggested future review of inclusive language at the policy committee level.

The board also announced committee leadership and liaisons: Lori Cantwell will chair the Policy Committee; Facilities & Technology will be chaired by Mrs. Franklin; Mrs. Russ will serve as board of finance liaison; Mr. Zabrowski will serve as town council liaison; Mrs. Lam will be CMS building committee liaison; and the board recommended Mr. Heismann as its representative to the townwide facilities committee that passed referendum in November.

Each policy motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote recorded as “Aye” in the transcript; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes supplied in the transcript.
