Killingly Board approves new courses, personnel and nondiscrimination policies and applies for Perkins grant
Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Killingly Board of Education adopted two new high-school courses, approved Policy #4152.6 (Family and Medical Leave) and Policy #0521 (Nondiscrimination), voted to apply for the Perkins Grant FY2026 and approved routine financial items.
The Killingly Board of Education at a regular meeting Jan. 14 approved a package of curriculum additions, personnel policy changes and grant-seeking measures.
The board unanimously adopted two new additions to the high-school Program of Studies: Broadcast Journalism 1 (motion by Kyle Provencher, seconded by Nelson King) and Illustration 1 (motion by Diane Summa, seconded by Kyle Provencher). Both motions carried without recorded roll-call tallies.
On policy matters, the board adopted Policy #4152.6 (Family and Medical Leave) following a second reading (motion by Kyle Provencher, seconded by Diane Summa). The board also completed a second reading of Policy #0521 (Nondiscrimination) and the motion to adopt carried. The meeting minutes contain a clerical inconsistency that repeats the Family and Medical Leave policy number in the motion text for the Nondiscrimination item; the board record and agenda identify the item as Policy #0521 (Nondiscrimination).
Board members voted to reappoint Steve Marchesseault to the Cable Advisory Council (motion by Kyle Provencher, seconded by Nelson King) and to apply for the Perkins Grant FY2026 (motion by Kyle Provencher, seconded by Kevin Marcoux). No award amount or program-specific details for the Perkins application were specified in the minutes.
Routine financial business moved forward: the board approved monthly check authorization (motion by Kevin Marcoux, seconded by Kyle Provencher) and approved several consent-agenda items. The December 10, 2025 meeting minutes (Consent Agenda A) were pulled for separate consideration and were later approved by a vote of 4–yes and 1–abstention (Diane Summa).
The meeting adjourned at 8:21 p.m.
The approvals take effect as recorded in the board minutes; the Perkins grant application and policy implementations will follow any additional administrative steps required by district procedures.
