off-agenda JKAA policy
LS Regional also gave final approval to JKAA policy on physical restraint, timeout, and seclusion. No prior notice on the agenda meant residents had no chance to review or comment before the third-reading vote. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lincoln-sudbury-rsd/ls-school-committee/2026-06-10/ #MeetingWatch #LincolnSudburyRsdMA

X thread
Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School Committee met June 10. High-impact items never listed on the public agenda were taken up anyway: a full rewrite of attendance rules plus final approval of the JKAA restraint and seclusion policy. #MeetingWatch #LincolnSudburyRsdMA
Attendance changes include verified/unverified categories, caps (14 absences per semester for some courses), interventions at 6+ and 12+ absences, and possible pass/fail or transcript notations. Committee heard equity concerns for METCO and bus students but moved forward without a vote.
JKAA policy governing student physical restraint and seclusion also passed unanimously on third reading. Both decisions bypassed the published agenda, leaving families without advance notice or opportunity to prepare input. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lincoln-sudbury-rsd/ls-school-committee/2026-06-10/
At its June 10 meeting, the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School Committee took up several substantial policy and fee changes that did not appear on the published agenda. These included detailed revisions to the district attendance policy—shifting to verified/unverified absences, semester caps, tiered interventions, and consequences for extracurricular eligibility—and final approval of the JKAA policy on physical restraint, timeout, and seclusion. The attendance framework, developed over two-plus years, replaces prior excused/unexcused distinctions and introduces class-specific tracking with potential transcript notations. Committee members raised questions about notifications, METCO student equity, open-campus effects, and flexibility for chronic illness or unavoidable absences, but no vote occurred. Implementation work was assigned for summer. Separately, the board approved an adult lunch price increase from $4.28 to $6, new revolving fund thresholds, and an EV charger rate hike to $0.42 per kWh. All passed by roll call with no recorded opposition. Because these topics were not noticed in advance, residents could not anticipate or address them specifically. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/lincoln-sudbury-rsd/ls-school-committee/2026-06-10/ #MeetingWatch #LincolnSudburyRsdMA
