An update for Hollis and Brookline residents regarding recent school board activity:
During the July 6 Hollis/Brookline Cooperative School Board meeting, the policy committee focused on several high-impact areas, including student discipline, safety protocols, and class size.
Notably, the committee decided to table the Student Discipline and Due Process policy (JICD). The board indicated that they need to obtain direct feedback from School Resource Officers (SROs) to ensure the policy is functional and effective before it proceeds. While this delay allows for expert input, it means residents will have to wait longer to see how disciplinary standards are formalized.
Other significant movements included the progress of the Pupil Safety and Violence Prevention policy (JICK), which moved to a second reading, and the Class Size policy (IIB), which is moving toward a third reading. These policies represent the framework for how our schools manage safety and student workloads. We will continue to monitor these developments as they move toward final decisions.
