Orange Elementary School Committee approves regional cost‑share agreement, multiple policies and FY25 grants
Summary
The committee voted unanimously on Feb. 10 to approve a revised regional cost‑share agreement, a slate of personnel and health policies (second reads), and acceptance of FY25 state or other grants; motions were made by Josefa Scherer and seconded by Jessica Reske.
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Orange Elementary School Committee approved several formal actions by unanimous vote.
Regional cost share agreement: Dr. Liz (last name not specified in the minutes) explained that R.C. Mahar and Union 73, with legal review, updated a Regional Cost Share Agreement that defines how consolidated districts share costs for shared positions, membership and quorum rules for a Leadership, Accountability, and Measurement Subcommittee, the process for adding a new Union 73 member, and the financial obligations of a member district that withdraws. On a motion by Committee member Josefa Scherer, seconded by Committee member Jessica Reske, the committee voted unanimously to approve the agreement.
Policies (second read and vote): On motions by Josefa Scherer, seconded by Jessica Reske, the committee unanimously approved the following policies on second read: JKAA (Physical Restraint of Students); JL (Student Welfare); JLC (Student Health Services and Requirements); JLCA (Physical Examination of Students); JLCB (Immunization of Students); JLCC (Communicable Disease); AC and AC‑R (Non‑Discrimination and related procedures including Harassment and Retaliation); ACA (Non‑Discrimination on the basis of Sex); ACGA (Civil Rights Grievance Procedure); and JJE (Student Fund‑Raising Activities). The minutes note the policy subcommittee is scheduling its next meeting; no first reads were reported.
Grants: Because the state issued FY25 grant awards later than usual, the committee voted (motion: Josefa Scherer; second: Jessica Reske) to accept all FY25 state or other grants received or anticipated by the district, following a review of grants on file presented by Marie Cole.
Other procedural action: The committee formally approved the Jan. 13, 2025 minutes (motion by Josefa Scherer; second by Jessica Reske) and adjourned at 7:45 p.m. (motion and second as above). Roll calls were taken by Chair Mallory Ellis for the recorded votes.
The approvals recorded at this meeting will be reflected in district records; the budget itself was presented for discussion but not voted on at this meeting.
