The Tewksbury School Committee voted unanimously to adopt a set of revised and new policies covering nondiscrimination, harassment, background checks, school nutrition, immunizations and medication administration.

Committee members considered the policies as a group and voted to approve the slate as presented. The policies taken as second-and-final readings and approved in the meeting included AC (nondiscrimination), ACR (nondiscrimination including harassment and retaliation), ACA (nondiscrimination on basis of disability), ACAB (harassment), ADDA (background checks), EFC (universal free school meals), EFD (school nutrition program charge policy), JF (school admissions), JLCB (immunization of students), JLCD (administering medicines to students), JLCDR (regulations for medication administration) and JLCDA (delegation of prescription medications for field trips and short-term events).

A committee member noted that contact information for the district's required compliance officer will need to be updated on rollover of positions; the superintendent confirmed the district will update contact details when titles change.

The motion was made to approve the slate and passed unanimously; the committee did not request further changes at this meeting and thanked the district's nursing and policy staff for their work.
