What was decided

The Policy Subcommittee reviewed the PROTECT Act model and discussed how it affects current MASC and DESE policy language, including a possible vote to suspend first and second readings to meet a state deadline. It then reviewed Section J recommendations, passing JJH, JJH-R, JJIB, and JK, while holding JJF, JJF-R, and JL for further review and deciding to keep the Methuen-specific versions of JJIF, JJIF-R, and JKAA and to remove JKB. The subcommittee also approved minutes from 8/5/2026 and 8/12/2026, heard public comment from Jack Burke on policy terminology, and discussed adding a Section K public link, upcoming e-bike and AI policies, and setting up periodic policy reviews.
