Board approves updated policies; Trustee Mansfield votes no, urges more transparency
Summary
The Board approved proposed board policies at the Nov. 10 meeting on a motion that passed with one dissent from Trustee Mansfield, who urged increased transparency and accountability in book selection and principal decision‑making.
The St. Johns Public Schools Board voted to approve proposed board policies at the Nov. 10 meeting. Vice President Darragh moved the motion and Trustee Parker‑Sternburgh seconded it; the motion passed with Trustee Mansfield recorded as opposing the measure.
Trustee Mansfield used her remarks to encourage parents to complete school surveys and "advocated for increased transparency and accountability for principals and teachers regarding book selections." The minutes record her opposition but do not show a motion to amend or delay adoption; the policies therefore stand as approved by the Board for the moment.
