RUMFORD – The Policy Committee of the SAD 43 board is about to begin an 18-month revamping of the district’s more than 500 policies.
Superintendent Jim Hodgkin said Wednesday that several relatively new programs, such as the federal No Child Left Behind and the state’s Maine Learning Results, have either made current policies outdated or necessitated new ones.
He said the committee will begin meeting prior to the board’s regular twice-monthly meeting to work on the task. Then, he said, from five to seven updated or new policies will be acted on by the board as they are ready.
In other matters at Monday’s board meeting, Hodgkin said a 10-minute closed session to discuss a legal matter and its investigation was held. He declined to elaborate, only saying that the investigation did not involve a staff member.
The board began to hold closed sessions to discuss the matter several weeks ago.
The seat vacated by Roxbury representative Mark Touchette has yet to be filled. He resigned late last year after having served for several years to take a position as selectman in his town. The SAD 43 position is expected to be filled at Roxbury’s annual town meeting set for next month.
