# 09-25-26 BOE Policy Comm Mtg

The Ridgefield Board of Education Policy Committee met on September 25, 2026, to review and discuss several student-related policies primarily from the 5000 series. The committee focused on repealing outdated policies that were deemed no longer legally required, based on recommendations from the Shipman and Goodman audit. These included policies on student safety, relations with non-custodial students, school dismissal precautions, and student insurance for schooltime accidents. The superintendent and committee members emphasized that many operational procedures are handled administratively or through handbooks rather than formal policies. The committee agreed to recommend these repeals to the full board for a first reading. Additionally, members discussed the process for policy review, including how legislative changes and audit findings influence agenda priorities, and the possibility for committee members to propose policies for review. No procurement or contracting matters were addressed during this meeting.
