The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. with a quorum present.

 

The Committee reviewed the policies AFB, Evaluation of the Superintendent and AFB-E, Superintendent’s Evaluation.  It was suggested to change AFB to have the Superintendent complete the evaluation by the second Thursday in November; Board members submit their evaluations to the Chair by November 30th; and one combined document finished by the second Thursday in December. 

 

Mrs. Grassie moved, second by Mrs. Warren, to recommend to the Board for first reading polices AFB, Evaluation of the Superintendent and AFB-E, Superintendent’s Evaluation as amended. The motion passed unanimously.

 

The Board reviewed policy ILBAA, High School Competency Assessments and discussed a change in the language.  In the first paragraph, the competencies will replace final exam and/or other comprehensive paper, portfolio, presentation, project, or assessment.

 

Mrs. Grassie moved, second by Mrs. Warren, to recommend to the Board policy ILBAA, High School Competency Assessments as amended; and policies JECA, Determining Residency and JECA-1, Residency Affidavit for second reading and approval.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

Mrs. Warren reviewed the graphic identity policy that the UMASS Amherst has in place.  It was suggested that policy similar to this be drafted for the use of the Red Raider symbol.  Mr. Hopkins will bring that draft to the next Policy Committee.  Mr. Colson will have a listing of the current locations and uses of the symbol for the next Policy Committee.  Mr. Hopkins is still seeking students and faculty to review and study this issue. 

 

Mrs. Grassie moved, second by Mrs. Warren, to adjourn the meeting at 6:45 p.m. The motion passed unanimously.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Mr. Charlie DeVito
