Sebago School Committee adopts policy JGA on student assignment; minutes approved

The Sebago School Committee adopted policy JGA — the district policy on assignment of students eligible for grades 6 through 12 to district schools — following a second reading at its meeting.

The chair sought a motion to adopt policy JGA and the committee moved and seconded the measure. After brief confirmation that stakeholders had been consulted, committee members voted in favor by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Earlier in the meeting the committee also moved to approve the minutes of its Nov. 18 regular meeting; a motion and second were made, a minor spelling correction was noted, and members approved the minutes by voice vote.

At the end of the public portion of the meeting the board voted to enter executive session pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. subsection 405(6)(C) (economic development). The chair’s motion to go into executive session was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The meeting packet referenced policy JGA by file code and committee discussion indicated the policy had been reviewed in consultation with staff; no public record in the transcript provided a recorded vote tally or named movers for the motions.
