The Wachusett Regional School Committee moved policy 3370 (middle-school pathway exploration) forward in its first reading and discussed implementation timing required by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
A committee member explained the policy largely mirrors DESE requirements and must be finalized by Nov. 1. The committee discussed record-retention language and the administrative recommendation to retain records electronically for seven years. Members noted the policy contains procedural elements that may be refined over time as DESE guidance evolves.
