RSU 40 board approves second reading of public-participation and bullying policies

The RSU 40/MSAD 40 board approved second readings of a set of policies covering public participation, bullying documentation and response forms, and visitors to district schools after a motion from board member Greg.

Greg moved that the board approve the second reading of Policy BEDH (public participation at board meetings), Policy JICK—E1 (RSU 40 bullying reporting form), JICK—E2 (bullying investigation and response form), JICK—E3 (bullying summary of disciplinary and remedial actions) and Policy K I (visitors to the school). The motion was seconded by another board member and the presiding officer called for the vote. The transcript indicates the motion passed; the numeric vote tally is not clearly recorded in the meeting transcript.

Board members did not raise substantive amendments during the motion and there was no extended debate recorded on these items. The board’s packet lists the policies by the referenced codes.
