Summary
At its March 20 meeting, RSU 23’s school board voted unanimously to revert several district nondiscrimination and harassment policies to the 2020 Title IX standards, citing a court decision; the motion was moved by Santino Perrone and seconded by Donna Moutsatsos.
RSU 23’s school board voted unanimously on March 20, 2025, to revert several district policies relating to nondiscrimination and sexual harassment to the 2020 Title IX standards after readings and a motion by a board member.
The policy codes presented for first reading — GCOA (Supervision and Evaluation of Professional Staff), GCOC (Evaluation of Administrative Staff), AC (Nondiscrimination/Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action), ACAA (Harassment and Sexual Harassment of Students), ACAA‑R (Student Discrimination/Harassment and Title IX Sexual Harassment Complaint Procedures), ACAB (Harassment and Sexual Harassment of School Employees), and ACAB‑R (Employee Discrimination/Harassment and Title IX Sexual Harassment Complaint Procedures) — were read aloud during new business. The board discussion noted that the changes revert the district’s procedures to the 2020 Title IX framework based on a recent court decision mentioned during the meeting.
Board member Santino Perrone moved to accept the policies reverting to the 2020 Title IX policies “as written.” Board member Donna Moutsatsos seconded the motion. The minutes record the motion passed with the board voting “all in favor.” The policies were treated at first reading and approved during the same meeting according to the minutes.
The reversion affects the district’s written procedures for handling student and employee discrimination and sexual‑harassment complaints; the minutes do not detail implementation timelines, notice to staff or students, or whether administrative regulations will be updated publicly. Board members did not record additional amendments in the minutes.
The meeting moved on to committee reports and other routine business after the vote. The board did not list an effective date for the policy reversion in the minutes, and the district did not provide additional implementation details in this record.
