PRESENT:
Trustees Triou, Lyke, Diller, Mr. Switzer
PRIOR MEETING MINUTES: Minutes of the October 15, 2002 were reviewed, revised and filed.
OLD BUSINESS:
Proposed Policy – Use of Defibrillators: Mr. Triou shared sample copies of policies on this topic from Erie #1 BOCES and from the policy workshop he attended at the state school boards’ meeting in Syracuse. Committee identified portions of each to refer to Mr. Havens for consideration by the staff committee working on a draft of this policy for committee review.
Format of Policy Shift to Erie #1 BOCES:: Committee reviewed format developed by Mr. Switzer to document the shift from our existing handbook to the new handbook. The format was accepted and the committee will review the total handbook matrix at the next meeting.

NYSSBA Workshop - Policy: Mr. Triou noted topics covered at the policy workshop he attended at the state school boards’ meeting in Syracuse. Our policy handbook and process compares very well to the standards and questions raised at that meeting.
