The Hollis School Board committee held a meeting on May 21, 2026, to move several high-impact policies through the adoption process. While the meeting was described as routine, the decisions made will significantly affect student safety and district operations.
Most notably, the committee advanced Policy JICK, which governs Pupil Safety and Violence Prevention/Bullying. This policy sets the standard for how the district identifies and responds to bullying. Additionally, the committee is fast-tracking Policy EBCA, which covers Crisis Prevention and Emergency Response Plans. This policy is scheduled for its first reading and immediate adoption at the next meeting, meaning new emergency protocols could be implemented shortly.
Other administrative changes are also in progress, including new reviews of policies regarding class size (IIB) and school assignments (JCA). Because these policies dictate classroom environments and how students are distributed throughout the district, residents should pay close attention as they move toward final votes. We will continue to track these policy shifts to ensure the community is informed.
