Summary:Motion: The Arlington School Committee authorizes the Superintendent to make administrative changes to policies containing the title Assistant Superintendent, and any policy containing the street address of the central office.
Rationale: The school committee created the position of Deputy Superintendent, which was filled on July 1, 2023 by Dr. Mona Ford Walker. Some policies (including File AC-R) refer to the Assistant Superintendent or make specific reference to Roderick MacNeil, and this vote will align policies to the current administrative structure of the district.
In addition, there are policies listing the address of the district’s administrative office at 869 Massachusetts Avenue. With the completion of Phase 2 of the Arlington High School Building Project, the administrative offices will be moving to a Mill Street address. This policy will allow for making these technical edits without a further vote by the school committee. Recommended by a vote (3-0) of the Policies and Procedures Subcommittee, July 24, 2023.
