School committee accepts teacher resignation and approves policy updates, 7-0
Summary
The Saco School Committee accepted the resignation of a CK Burns teacher and approved a slate of first- and second-reading policy updates by roll-call votes recorded as 7-0, clearing the items from the agenda.
The Saco School Committee accepted the resignation of Adam Jew, a CK Burns teacher, and approved multiple policy updates in unanimous roll-call votes.
“Mr. chair, I move we accept the resignation of Adam Jew… CK Burns teacher effective at the end of the 2021–22 school year,” a board member moved; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call with votes recorded in the transcript as Yes from Archie, Preble, Richard, Gale, Truman and Johnson, yielding a 7–0 result.
On policy business, the committee approved first readings of revised policies including AD (educational philosophy), ADA (school district goals and objectives), BEC (executive sessions), BEDFA (abstentions), BIC (board member freedom of access training) and BID (board member compensation) after a motion to approve. The committee then approved second readings of a larger group of policies covering nondiscrimination (AC), harassment (ACAB and associated complaint procedures), service animals (ACAC), tobacco-free schools (ADC), hazing (ACAD), standards for ethical behavior (ADAA) and workplace-bullying language (GBEB). Each of those votes was recorded as 7–0.
What this means: The actions move multiple governance and personnel policies forward in the district’s code and implement routine personnel housekeeping; the resignation will be processed according to district personnel rules.
Provenance: Motion and roll-call vote accepting resignation (SEG 275–301); policy first readings (SEG 1211–1241); policy second readings and vote (SEG 1242–1285).
