At its meeting, the Coventry School Committee advanced several personnel and governance items.

FMLA policy: The committee approved the first reading of a new Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) policy designed to give employees clear, accessible guidance and a link to federal resources. Member Bradford Mayer moved to approve the first reading and the motion carried 6–0.

Social-media policy: The committee approved the first reading of an updated social-media policy that outlines guidance for district employees on using social platforms when representing the district; the motion carried 6–0.

Title IX policy: The committee adopted a revised Title IX policy on its second reading after a small wording change clarifying the appeal/process for challenging a decision. A motion to approve the second reading carried 6–0.

NJROTC field trip: The committee approved an overnight NJROTC field trip to Washington, D.C., so cadets could march in the Memorial Day parade; the trip exceeds the district’s 100-mile mileage limit and therefore required school committee approval. The motion to approve the field trip carried unanimously, 6–0.

Each of these items passed without recorded dissent; the district will post adopted policies and proceed with planning for the cadets’ trip under the usual approval and oversight procedures.

Next steps: staff will post policy documents and proceed with NJROTC trip logistics; any required follow-ups (e.g., RFPs or budget allocations) will be placed on a future agenda if needed.
