North Canaan Board adopts food-service, cellphone and FAFSA-completion policies
Summary
The board voted 6–0 to approve a Food Service Charging Policy, Policy 5131.81 (cellular phones/electronic devices) and Policy 6148 (FAFSA Completion Program). The policies were recommended by the chair and seconded; no public comment was recorded.
The North Canaan Board of Education unanimously approved three district policies Jan. 14: a Food Service Charging Policy; Policy 5131.81 on cellular phones and electronic communication devices; and Policy 6148 establishing a FAFSA Completion Program.
Mrs. Dodge recommended the policies for board approval; Mrs. Grant seconded the motion. The roll-call vote in the minutes shows the six board members present — Mrs. Crane, Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Helminiak, Mr. Jacques and Mrs. Riva — voted in favor.
The minutes do not record extended debate or public comment on the policies. The FAFSA completion policy (Policy 6148) signals a board-level effort to support students’ postsecondary financial aid filing, but the minutes do not specify implementation details, timeline, or funding sources.
Copies of the policies were noted as available via links on the January agenda materials.
