The Dorchester School District Two Board Policy Committee met on September 14, 2026, primarily to review and update several district policies in response to recent statutory changes. Key policy updates included board member removal for non-compliance with mandatory training, new member orientation requirements, medical emergency response protocols including AED placement, charter school authorizer terminology, and admission policies for out-of-zone and out-of-district student transfers. The committee discussed the development of an application process for student transfers, including a 90-day application window and a 30-day review period, with priority given to in-district students and a lottery system for oversubscribed schools. The meeting also covered updates to seizure response training for staff and paid parental leave policy adjustments. Public comments raised concerns about the availability of policy documents prior to the meeting and requested further review of bullying policies. The committee voted to move the updated policies forward to the full board for first reading.
