The Danbury Board of Education approved appointments and advanced several policies during its meeting and later voted to enter executive session.
Appointments: The board approved the appointment of Samantha Galbraith and Cara Casimero to the Agriscience Advisory Committee (exhibit 25‑1‑39). The motion was made by Juanita, seconded by Al, and carried by voice vote.
Policies: The board approved or accepted for reading multiple policies from the 5000 series. On second read the board adopted policy 5141.27 (first aid/emergency medical care; AED use) and policy 5141.31 (athletic physicals). The board accepted policy 5141.4 (reporting child abuse/neglect) for first reading and accepted policies 5145.15 (directory information) and 5145.5 (exploitation/harassment) for first reading, as recommended by the policy committee. Motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; the meeting record does not include roll‑call tallies.
Executive session: A motion to enter executive session (moved by Teresa, seconded by Julie) was made and carried by voice vote and the board adjourned into executive session.
Why it matters: The policy adoptions affect student health and safety procedures, athletic requirements and student privacy rules; advisory appointments add community expertise to district career and technical education programs. The executive session indicates the board moved to a nonpublic discussion at the end of the meeting.
The meeting record identifies exhibits and policy numbers listed in the agenda; where the transcript lacks a roll‑call tally, the actions are recorded as carried by voice vote.
