Enfield school board adopts five revised policies, repeals three, draft minutes show

ENFIELD - The Enfield Board of Education on Oct. 27 approved second readings of five revised policies, including student discipline and family and medical leave, according to draft minutes posted on the town's CivicClerk portal.

The draft minutes show roll-call votes adopting policies on board budgets and line-item transfers, self-insurance funding, family and medical leave, student discipline, and reporting child abuse and assault. The board also repealed three 1000-series policies in a single motion, over one member's objection to voting on them together rather than one at a time.

During discussion of the discipline policy, Superintendent Steven Moccio said its language gives the district authority to discipline students for inappropriate use or insubordination regarding cell phones, the draft minutes say. One member raised a concern about how the policy defines bullying.

The board approved its consent agenda. The minutes remain a draft until the board approves them.
