panel for the Killam School Building Project. The motion was seconded by Mr. Robinson, <br />the vote passed 6-0. <br />E. New Business <br />1. Review and Approval of District -Wide Student Handbook (A) <br />Dr. Stys provided the committee with an update on the District -Wide Student <br />Handbook. Last year, we made some great gains in standardizing the handbook. This <br />year we worked towards making the handbook more user-friendly. Dr. Stys pointed out <br />that the handbook is designed to notify legal requirements, so it tends to feel more <br />technical. We have linked the laws within the handbook and added a table of contents <br />that directly links to each section of the handbook. <br />Mrs. Gaffen motioned to approve the District -Wide Student Handbook, seconded by <br />Mrs. Nazzaro. The committee discussed the removal of sex education in the handbook <br />and translation requirements for technical language. It was noted some links do not <br />work for those looking at the handbook outside of the district. Dr. Stys ensured the links <br />would be reviewed and updated. After no further discussion, the vote passed 6-0. <br />2. Outline Community Math Pathways Committee Timeline, Process, & Expectations <br />Dr. Milaschewski provided the committee with a brief update on the process for the <br />Community Math Pathways Committee. In the packet, there is a memo outlining what <br />to expect. Before the next School Committee meeting on September 71h, we will have <br />the launch of the Math Pathways Committee. This will be a recorded, virtual meeting <br />that can be shared afterward. The plan is to discuss in more detail the plan going <br />forward. Given the urgency of this project, the committee would close out their findings <br />by November 20d and make a recommendation to the administration on the best path <br />forward therefore, we do anticipate some movement on this item in the next few <br />months. It is important to have community involvement and that has helped us in the <br />past. <br />Meetings will be held open to the public so even if you are not on the committee, you <br />would be welcome to join and listen in to the conversation happening at the table. <br />D. Old Business <br />1.
