River Dell board approves first readings of policies, accepts resignation and adopts district equity plan
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the River Dell Regional School District board approved first readings of multiple policy updates, accepted trustee Suzanne Golden's resignation, authorized an affirmative-action needs assessment and approved a 2025–2028 comprehensive equity plan; votes were recorded by roll call.
The River Dell Regional School District board moved through regular business on June 15, approving first readings of multiple district policies, accepting a trustee resignation and approving an equity plan and routine personnel and finance items by roll call.
The superintendent recommended the first reading of several revised and new policies, including superintendent duties (P1230), curriculum (P2200), career education (P2411), high school graduation and diploma policies (P5460, P5461), notice and legal-advertising policies (P162, P162.01), family leave (P1643), equity in school/classroom practices (P2260), use of restraint/seclusion for students with disabilities (P5610 series), federal-grant reimbursement and internal controls (P6112, P6115.02) and contracts for federally funded purchases (P6311). The board moved, seconded and approved the first readings by roll-call vote.
The board accepted the resignation of board trustee Suzanne Golden, effective May 30, 2026, on a motion that was seconded and approved by roll call. Members then approved a resolution formally recognizing student representatives Nicholas (Nick) Galloway, Hannah Lee and Caitlyn (listed elsewhere in the record as Kate) Nippas for their service to the board.
On personnel and equity matters, the board authorized the affirmative-action team to conduct an assessment of needs and later approved the district's comprehensive equity plan for school years 2025–2028. The meeting's executive agenda — which included medical leaves, schedule changes, appointments, salary adjustments, extracurricular advisors and special-education hires for 2026–27 — was also approved.
Motions on routine items and the consent agenda were passed by recorded roll-call votes. The board recorded votes verbally during each motion; the roll-call sequence repeatedly registered the same attending trustees voting in the affirmative. The board indicated no action would be taken during an upcoming closed session and adjourned the public portion of the meeting.
