Board approves ethics policy, Title IX updates, surveys and other administrative items
Summary
The Board unanimously approved an ethics policy, appointments for District Clerk and Treasurer, Title IX policy updates (with an edit), two non-academic surveys, a crowdfunding request, the 2025–26 meeting calendar, and an expansion of the Girls Ice Hockey cooperative.
At its April 7 meeting the Governor Wentworth Regional School Board approved a bundle of administrative items including policy updates, appointments, surveys and program requests.
Superintendent Caroline Arakelian read policy BCA (School Board Member Ethics) while board members signed the agreement; the Board then voted to approve the ethics policy as presented. The Board appointed Michelle Capone as District Clerk and Scott Isabell as District Treasurer.
The Board waived the second meeting limitation under Board policy BG to allow immediate action on updates to Title IX-related policies and then approved AC (Nondiscrimination, Equal Opportunity Employment, and Anti-Discrimination Plan), ACAA (Harassment and Sexual Harassment of Students) and ACAB (Harassment of School Employees) for first and second readings with one edit requested to policy AC.
The Board approved two non-academic surveys (a research survey and the School’s Out program survey) and approved a Crescent Lake School online crowdfunding request as presented. The Board also approved the 2025–2026 School Board meeting schedule.
On athletics, the Board approved a request to add Plymouth Regional High School to the existing Girls Ice Hockey cooperative team (with Kingswood Regional High School and Prospect Mountain High School); the motion included the understanding that the District will seek cost-sharing and noted the request does not increase district costs.
The Board tasked Assistant Superintendent Heather Cummings with revising policy KHC for a second reading at the May meeting and noted other policies being considered for first reads and reaffirmation.
