Board approves consent agenda, reviews bullying and food-allergy regulations and honors state champions
Summary
The Board approved a unanimous consent agenda, reviewed three regulation files (GBEBB, JBAR2, JLCEB) that will become effective unless sent back, and recognized state-champion athletes and SkillsUSA/FBLA student winners.
The Allegany County Board of Education approved the consent agenda at its Aug. 12 meeting after a motion and second; the chair stated the motion "passes unanimously." The motion to approve was made (identified in the meeting as Doctor Baughn) and seconded by Mrs. Widmeier.
Under new business, Mr. Llewellyn reviewed three regulations: GBEBB (adding clarification about staff conduct and bullying/harassment as it relates to staff complaints), JBAR2 (striking and replacing language to clarify that bullying complaints against staff should be routed to staff-conduct policy), and JLCEB (a food-allergy regulation aligning the district with the Maryland State School Health Services guidelines). Each item was presented as a review; Mr. Llewellyn said that because these are regulations, they will become effective unless the board votes to send them back to policy committee.
The board also used part of the superintendent’s report to recognize student achievements. Tracy Leonard introduced the Allegany baseball team, which was honored as state champions; head coach John Irons thanked board members and highlighted assistant coaches and student players. The board also recognized FBLA and SkillsUSA winners, including Bethany Scott (graphic design) and other students who qualified for nationals; instructors named included Michael Shockey and Tyler Couric.
Mrs. Lepley reported that the Frostburg Summer Lunchbox program served 6,823 bagged lunches during an eight-week run (Monday–Thursday), supported by County United Way, Frostburg State University and local partners.
The meeting adjourned after a motion to close; the motion was made and seconded and the chair closed the meeting.
