Board adopts policy requiring in-person hearings
Summary
The Windsor Locks Board of Education approved a revision to Policy 5114 to require that hearings be held in person rather than remotely; the change was presented by Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst and adopted unanimously after a brief discussion and a procedural amendment to move the item to the second read.
The Windsor Locks Board of Education on Nov. 14, 2024 voted unanimously to adopt a revision to Policy 5114 requiring that formal hearings be held in person rather than remotely.
Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst introduced the revision as a first read, saying "The only change to this policy is that hearings will be held in person, no hearing will be held remotely." After board discussion the item was amended on the agenda for a second read and then approved. Board member A. Osorio moved the item and L. Cutler seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Board members discussed procedural implications during the brief exchange; no public testimony on the policy change was recorded. The revision replaces prior language that allowed remote hearings for the specified proceedings. The district will implement the in-person-only requirement for hearings going forward and adjust notices and scheduling to reflect the change.
