School committee approves March 16 minutes and advances several policy readings

Leominster — At its April 6 meeting the Leominster School Committee approved the minutes of its March 16 meeting by voice vote and advanced a package of policy readings.

A committee member moved to approve the March 16 minutes and Ron seconded; the chair called the question and the minutes were approved with no recorded opposition. The committee then took up policy updates from the policy subcommittee. The items included second readings of policies on gifts/solicitations by staff (GBEC), visitors to the schools (KI), building security (ECAB), fundraising (JJ) and acceptance of gifts/grants (KCD), along with a larger set of first‑reading policies. The committee noted it would double‑check and update legal references where needed.

Members discussed a change to DKC‑R (staff travel expense regulations) to remove cash advances; the committee approved the package in bulk with a voice vote. No public comments were recorded during the meeting.

The approvals were procedural and do not change district policy until any required additional review and final adoption steps are completed.
