Quincy School Committee
Policy Subcommittee Meeting - Thursday, October 19, 2017
A meeting of the Policy Subcommittee was held on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 6:20 pm in the
Coddington Building. Present were Mrs. Kathryn Hubley, Mrs. Emily Lebo, and Mr. Paul Bregoli,
Chair. Also attending were Deputy Superintendent Kevin Mulvey, Mrs. Maura Papile, Ms. Madeline
Roy, North Quincy High School Representative Luke Molloy; Quincy Education Association President
Allison Cox; and Ms. Laura Owens, Clerk.
Mr. Bregoli noted that the review of the Technology & Training Program Improvement Plan would be
deferred to a later meeting and then reviewed the remaining Agenda items, which were a final
review of Section 2 of the Policy Book and revising Section 4.8.5 the Fuel Efficient Fleet Policy. Ms.
Owens reviewed that since Section 2 was last discussed in February 2017, the state has released new
regulations to update the Open Meeting Law. It is suggested that School Committee replace Section
2.4.4 which pertains to notifications for School Committee meetings, with the regulation 940 CMR
29.03. For Section 4.8.5, the revised policy has been accepted by Mayor Koch on behalf of the City of
Quincy and all City departments are adopting this revision. At this time, all vehicles Quincy Public
Schools are exempt, school buses and vans do not meet the mandated criteria for fuel efficiency.
Mrs. Hubley made a motion to approve the revisions as presented and to move both the revision of
Section 2 of the Policy Book and Section 4.8.5 the Fuel Efficient Fleet Policy revision to the full School
Committee for consideration. Mr. Bregoli seconded the motion and on a voice vote, the ayes have it.
Mrs. Hubley made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 pm. Mr. Bregoli seconded the motion
and on a voice vote, the ayes have it.
