Summary

After discussion, the committee voted unanimously to send library collection/display rules, student-protection items, special education and suspension/expulsion policy updates to the full board for further readings; motions were made, seconded and recorded as unanimous voice votes.

The Cheshire School District policy committee voted to advance multiple policies to the full board for additional readings following staff presentations and committee discussion.

Key actions recorded by the committee (voice votes recorded as unanimous): - Forward student wellness policy (6142.101) to the full board for a first reading (fast-tracked because of a state deadline). - Forward policy 5111.3 (protection of undocumented students / related language) to the full board for first reading. - Move a set of policies listed under second reading (library-related regulations and other listed items) to the full board for second reading. - Forward several items (suspension and expulsion due process 5114; special education 6171; individualized education 6159; educational opportunities for military children 5118.1) to the full board for third reading/adoption consideration.

Motions were made, seconded and the committee chair recorded the approvals as unanimous voice votes; the transcript does not provide roll-call tallies. After completing the motions, the committee adjourned.

The committee did not adopt final policy language for items requiring multiple readings; rather it moved those items to the full board for the next procedural step.
