Windham Policy Committee corrects April 1 minutes and receives timeline for uniform policy review

The Windham Board of Education Policy Committee met May 6, 2026, and amended the April 1 meeting minutes before moving on to policy updates. The meeting was called to order at 5:32 p.m. and adjourned at 6:15 p.m.

Board member Paula Haney’s name was corrected after a typographical error was identified in the April 1 minutes. Dr. Mary Gallucci, who was listed as “also present,” noted she had been recorded as "excused" in the earlier minutes; the minutes state she is not a formal member of the Policy Committee. Dr. Catina Caban-Owen acknowledged an earlier mistaken entry in the minutes and submitted the record for the committee.

District administration provided the substantive policy updates. Dr. Iris Gomero presented an initial timeline for the review of the district’s student uniform policy; the minutes record that a timeline was presented but do not specify dates or milestones. The committee was also told the district is still awaiting a reply from Windham Public Schools (WPS) attorneys on the legal review of seven submitted policies — the minutes do not specify which policies or an expected response date. Neil Weathers reviewed legislative updates passed in the most recent legislative session; the minutes note that legislative changes were summarized but do not list specific bills or statutory references.

There were no public comments recorded. The minutes state the next Policy Committee meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2026; the minutes were later marked as approved on 06/03/2026.

The meeting record does not list motions, votes, or formal decisions on policy adoptions; the items discussed were described as updates and a timeline presentation. The record includes corrections to the minutes and scheduling of the next meeting as the only explicit procedural actions.
