RSU 04 takes up second reading of JKAA restraint policy; motions to enter executive session for labor talks

The RSU 04 Board briefly revisited old business at its January meeting with the second reading of policy JKAA on the use of physical restraint and seclusion. A board presenter reminded members the policy “came out of committee” and that this second reading was intended “to bring us in alignment, with, the changes to the law.” No substantive edits were offered in the recorded discussion and the chair called for a vote; the transcript does not contain a recorded tally or a clear statement of outcome.

Later in the meeting, the board moved to enter executive session “pursuant to 1 MRSA, section 4 0 5, 6 d, labor negotiations” (transcript wording). A motion to enter executive session was made and seconded and the chair called for a vote; the transcript does not show the vote result or whether the board completed the executive session in the recorded excerpt.

The record shows the JKAA discussion was presented as committee-driven and framed as aligning district policy with state law changes; the transcript does not include any speakers proposing amendments or raising objections in the recorded excerpts.
