Summary
The Windsor Locks Board of Education unanimously approved minutes, several personnel actions, three new/updated job descriptions, four policy items and a donation arrangement; members also introduced Whitson’s as the district food service company and scheduled strategic planning kickoff for Sept. 15.
The Windsor Locks Board of Education on Aug. 21 approved a package of routine business items and heard several administrative reports.
The board unanimously approved minutes from June 4 and two July meetings after a motion by Greg Guyette and a second from Lindsay Cutler. The board also approved a donation request to negotiate disposal of surplus furniture with Food for the Poor (motion by Guyette, seconded by Cutler) and approved changing the authorized signer on the ED‑099 child nutrition agreement from Patricia Proctor to Robert Stacy (motion by Lindsay Cutler, seconded by Alba Osorio). Robert Stacy presented second readings of job descriptions for Head Chef, School Climate Coordinator and School Climate Specialist; the board approved all three after a motion by Guyette and a second from Cutler.
On human resources, Stacy shared recent resignations and the proposed 2025–26 hiring list; Alba Osorio moved to approve the resignations, seconded by Guyette, and the motion passed unanimously. The board reviewed four policies (3524.2 Green Cleaning Policy revision; 3541.5 Transportation Complaints revision; 5144.12 Challenging Behavior new policy; 5138 Pay to Participate) and, following discussion, approved them all by motion of Lindsay Cutler and seconded by Greg Guyette.
Superintendent Parkhurst and Executive Director Robert Stacy introduced representatives from Whitson’s Food Service, who spoke briefly about their plans as the district’s food service provider. The board reviewed a draft 2026 meeting calendar but tabled final approval until the Sept. 11 meeting to avoid conflicts with Class of 2026 events. Parkhurst also outlined the strategic planning process and scheduled a kickoff meeting for Sept. 15 at 5:30 p.m.
The board moved to adjourn to executive session at 6:02 p.m. to discuss WLAA negotiations and returned at 6:19 p.m.; the meeting adjourned at 6:21 p.m.
