The Wallingford Public Schools Policy Committee met on November 10, 2026, to review policy and regulation revisions related to recent legislative and model-policy updates. Topics included employee use of district computer systems and electronic communications, including clearer notice of prohibited activities and electronic monitoring locations; employment and reference checks under Public Act 26-139; OSHA bloodborne-pathogen requirements and staff training; and physical restraint, seclusion, and exclusionary timeout, including same-day parent notification when a student is physically restrained. Staff said revised notices and hiring materials would be prepared for implementation, and the electronic-monitoring policy was expected to proceed through board consent in about two weeks.

A committee member asked that the proposed additional language on out-of-state applicant checks be sent to the Instructional Committee so the full board could weigh in. No vote or procurement action was recorded, and no contracts, vendors, or spending decisions were discussed.
