Committee approves revisions to first-aid policy and several governance policies
Summary
The school committee approved revisions to the EBV first-aid policy clarifying that a school official should determine whether a student is fit to drive; it also approved FFA (naming facilities) and IJR (reconsideration of instructional materials) and scheduled a third reading for the social-networking policy.
The committee reviewed several policy items on the April 30 agenda. Members discussed wording changes to the first-aid policy (EBV) to clarify who determines whether an ill or injured student is safe to drive home. After debate committee members agreed to substitute —if a school official determines— for earlier language and remove the strict requirement that parent permission be —written,— changing it instead to —with parent/guardian permission.— The revised EBV policy passed.
The committee also approved revisions to policy FFA on the naming of school facilities to allow greater flexibility in committee composition, and it approved the IJR policy (reconsideration of instructional materials) without adding a definition of —ideology.— Members agreed to delete a redundant paragraph in the IJR draft.
The social-networking policy (IJNDD) was substantially rewritten and the committee requested a third reading on May 14 so members could review the revised structure and proposed language more carefully.
