Subcommittee forwards library and special education policies to Sterling Board for October review
Summary
The Sterling Board of Education policy subcommittee reviewed five district policies — three library policies, a special education policy and a school‑climate regulation — and recorded them for consideration by the full Board at its October meeting. The brief meeting ran from 4:30 to 4:45 p.m.
Theodore Friend, Superintendent, called the Sterling Board of Education Policy Sub-Committee to order at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 in the Superintendent’s Office at 251 Sterling Road.
The subcommittee recorded a set of policies and one regulation it will bring to the full Board for review at the Board’s October meeting: Policy #1312.3 (Community Relations/Instruction — Library Material Review and Reconsideration Policy); Policy #1312.4 (Community Relations/Instruction — Library Collection Development and Maintenance Policy); Policy #1312.5 (Community Relations/Instruction — Library Display and Program Policy); Policy #6171 (Instruction — Special Education); and Regulation #5131.911 (Students — Connecticut School Climate Regulation). The minutes note these items as being placed on the October agenda; no discussion of substantive changes, votes, or amendments is recorded in the minutes.
Jennifer Mossner was listed as present and Dorothy Capobianco as absent. Christine Chandler was recorded as Board Clerk. The minutes do not record separate public comment, separate presentations by staff on each policy, nor any formal motions or roll-call votes during this meeting; the items were simply listed for Board review.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
Next steps: the listed policies and the regulation are scheduled to be presented to the full Sterling Board of Education for review at the Board’s October meeting; the minutes do not specify whether staff will provide recommended language changes or background materials prior to that meeting.
