Review redlined draft of Policy following input from the District Leadership Team

Existing JLCD Administration of Medication to Students from 9/12/12

TA- Suggests we replace with JLCD-2021 and JLCD-R obtained from DW incorporating Narcan

GCOC - needs to be adopted. This appears to be a new policy.

Review status of goals and discuss any necessary next steps.

1. Board development - quarterly trainings, goal setting updates
2. Review Board Calendar for the year - decide when/how to share with full Board for reference
3. Board manual - communicate Board Member expectations - review draft and plan when/how to share with full Board

Update Tracking Document to be current with adoptions/reviews that have happened. 

Prioritize policies for editing - 

• BEDH Public Participation at Board Meetings
• DN - School Properties Disposition

• BEB: Elimination of Existing Special Meetings Policy 

           change to legal coded new BEB.Board Member Use of Social Media

• BE : Regular Board Meetings (TA recommend either edit to refer to all Board meetings and notice for such referencing  Bylaws or eliminate BE). 
  • If keeping it, edit to include any desired details from the following so those can be eliminated:
    • BDE Board Standing Committees
    • BEC-E Maine Statutes Authorizing Executive Session for Maine Schools
    • BEC Executive Sessions
    • BEDA Notification of Board Meetings
    • BEDC Quorum
