District officials say the Superintendent will draft a temporary policy which will come back to the Board for its consideration. It was anticipated this item would come back to the Board at its regular meeting on Nov. 10, but because of the time and in-depth nature the draft policy takes to develop, and to ensure due diligence is done, officials say this item will now come back to the Board at a Special Meeting at a date to be determined.

Elsewhere, the Board of Trustees held their Organizational Meeting on Oct. 27, following the Municipal Election.

Trustees confirmed Nicole Buchanan will serve as Chair, and Cathy Peacocke will serve as Vice Chair.

Trustees were also confirmed for various committees, as well as their liasion schools, which supports their work.
