Policy Committee approves bilingual (MLL) education policy with wording edits
Summary
The Policy Committee approved Policy 6141.31 (Bilingual-English Language Learning Education) on April 16, 2024, accepting edits to change “EL” to “MLL,” correct punctuation, insert a missing word and add “or designee” after ‘Superintendent’; vote was 4-0.
The New London Board of Education Policy Committee on April 16, 2024 approved Policy 6141.31 (Bilingual-English Language Learning Education) with several wording amendments.
Chair Nathan Caron moved the main motion to approve the policy; committee member Betsy Perkins proposed corrections — changing the acronym from “EL” to “MLL,” fixing punctuation, and inserting a missing word — which the committee adopted. Caron also moved to add the phrase “or designee” after “Superintendent” on page 1; that amendment was approved. The main motion as amended carried by a 4-0 vote.
Committee members said the technical edits were intended to clarify terminology and delegation for policy implementation. The committee did not identify additional substantive program changes during the discussion. The policy will proceed to the full Board as approved by the committee.
