Mrs. Alexis Rich

Rationale:
Members of the Killingly community are encouraged to share their thoughts with the Board of Education and are invited to do so during this segment of the meeting. When appropriate to do so, members of the Board and the administration may respond to comments. However, in consideration of those in attendance and in an effort to proceed in a timely manner, follow-up discussion may need to take place outside of the meeting setting.

The annual application process is open to all Killingly teachers. Janice Ahola-Sidaway is present to announce the recipients of this year's awards.

|
| : |
11.C.1. First Reading of Bylaw #9325- Bylaws of the Board, Meeting Conduct
|
|
| Speaker(s): |
David Marcotte
|
|
|
Rationale:
CABE Update- An issue has arisen with the following language which appears in bylaw #9325: No oral presentation shall include charges or complaints against any employee of the Board of Education, regardless of whether or not the employee is identified in the presentation by name or by another reference which tends to identify an individual. All charges or complaints against employees shall be submitted to the Board of Education under provisions of Board of Education policy. Such language is considered inappropriate if the board through policy or bylaw language has created a public forum for public comments. In such a case, the board cannot restrict an individual’s comments. If, as stated above, a limited public forum is created by limiting comments to specific topics or to agenda items, such language would be permissible. |

| : |
11.C.2. First Reading of Policy #1120-Community Relations, Public Participation at Board of Education Meetings.
|
|
| Speaker(s): |
David Marcotte
|
|
|
Rationale:
Same rationale as Bylaw #9325- CABE recommendation.
|
||
| : |
11.C.3. First Reading of Policy/REGULATION #5131.1-Students, Driving and Parking
|
|
| Speaker(s): |
David Marcotte
|
|
|
Rationale:
Regulation to Policy# 5131.1 has not been updated since the new high school was built. Changes to regulations reflect the needed revisions.
