Policy subcommittee approves draft motor‑vehicle idling policy to send to full School Committee

The Quincy School Committee Policy Subcommittee convened on Jan. 22 and unanimously approved draft language addressing motor vehicle idling on school grounds, adopting model text provided by the Massachusetts Association of School Committees.

Subcommittee members said the city previously had not adopted a specific idling policy and that the suggested language provides a standard, enforceable framework. A motion to advance the draft was moved by Miss Cahill, seconded by Mrs. Lebo, and recorded by a roll call; three members voted in the affirmative. Subcommittee leadership said the policy will be presented to the full School Committee at a subsequent meeting for final action.

Ending The Policy Subcommittee adjourned after approving the idling policy draft and returning other items to the full committee docket.
