Board approves fifth‑grade Pinkham Notch trips; conducts first readings of several policies
Summary
The board approved three fifth‑grade overnight trips to Pinkham Notch for spring 2025 and held first readings of multiple policies (ADA, ECB, EAA, GBB, GCA); the meeting concluded with a vote to enter executive session on a personnel matter.
The RSU 35 / MSAD 35 School Board approved overnight field trips for fifth graders and completed procedural first readings on several district policies.
A motion to approve Marshwood Great Works School fifth‑grade overnight trips to Pinkham Notch (three date ranges in April–May 2025) was moved and seconded; the board voted voice approval with "all in favor" recorded. The motion listed trip dates for April 30–May 2, May 5–7 and May 7–9, 2025.
On policy work, the board moved to approve first readings and discussion for multiple policies: ADA (school district goals and objectives), ECB (pest management), EAA (chemical hazards/SDS updates), GBB (staff involvement in decision making) and GCA (supervision and evaluation of professional staff). The board also voted to rescind GCAR (supervision and evaluation procedures) on the basis that procedures did not belong in policy. These were first‑read procedural steps; final adoption will occur at a subsequent meeting after the required review period.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the minutes from its Sept. 18, 2024 regular meeting by voice vote.
At the close of the public session, a member moved the board into executive session for a personnel discussion under the cited statute; the board approved the motion and entered executive session.
Where the transcript records seconders or verbal "all in favor," individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the public minutes.
