The meeting was
called to order at The Committee reviewed the resolution
from NSBA. Mrs. Duntley moved, second by Mr. Brennan, to recommend to the Board
approval of the resolution as presented.
The motion passed unanimously. The Committee discussed the need to establish or amend existing
policy relating to the public on school property after dark and the vandalism
that is occurring to the property. The
proposal would restrict access to property from ½ hour after sunset to ½ hour
before sunset, unless an approved school activity. This would allow any athletic team that
isn’t associated with the school to finish their games, but would ensure that
police can enforce the no trespassing policy.
The school grounds would be posted with this policy in place. The track might be an area that would need
extended hours beyond this time, since it has some lighting for walking and
running. Mr. Brennan moved, second by Dr. Pastelis, to recommend to the Board a
no trespassing policy for first reading.
The motion passed unanimously. The Committee also discussed the need for a concise communication
policy. After the recent unusual
school events, it is important to place communication with parents as
imperative for administrators. This
policy would reinforce the need to contact parents if unusual events happen
during the school day. Dr. Pastelis moved, second by Mrs. Duntley, to recommend to the Board
the communication policy for first reading.
The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Hopkins shared the technical advisories from the NH DOE with the
Committee. The DOE is providing this
information for policy and policy development related to the two year old
State Minimum Standards. The Board had
already approved policies related to this issue. Mr. Hopkins wanted to share the information
with the Policy Committee. Mr. Brennan moved, second by Mrs. Grassie, to adjourn
the meeting at Respectfully
submitted, Mrs. Jae
