Summary

The Winchester School Committee unanimously approved the consent agenda (including a $16,900 grant) and adopted policy IKFE (competency determination) by unanimous vote; it then voted to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining with the Winchester Educators Association and did not return to open session.

At the Dec. 18 meeting the committee voted unanimously to approve the consent agenda, which included a $16,900 grant from the Winchester Foundation for Educational Excellence and multiple sets of minutes with three sets pulled for separate consideration.

Later the committee considered policy IKFE (competency determination). After a motion to accept the policy as presented (moved by member present and seconded), the committee recorded a unanimous vote in favor of adopting IKFE.

At the end of the meeting the chair asked for a motion to move into executive session under Purpose 3 to discuss collective-bargaining strategy with the Winchester Educators Association; members moved, seconded and recorded unanimous 'ayes.' The committee stated it would not return to open session to take action.

Motion details and tallies recorded in the meeting minutes matched the roll-call-style confirmations read into the record (members who verbally registered 'aye' were identified during each vote).
