the MASC website. He also handed out policies from Concord-Carlisle, Acton

next meeting and highlight those sections that members wished to be included in a
revised Nauset policy
5) Ms Plaue pointed out the Joint School Cmte. would have to approve any policy
changes at their Dec 3 meeting. (5PM). She was also concerned that appropriate
information appear in appropriate policies. (i.e.- Student applicable information such
as bus conduct vs. bus contractor bid spec info)
6) The group discussed the eligibility requirement and agreed that the DESE will only
reimburse for students living further than 1.5 miles from their school. The "door side"
drop off policy was also discussed. Mr. Baumhauer to verify with First Student where
this policy is in effect.
7) Dr. Hoffmann asked the group to review all of the policies he handed out and bring
back their comments/issues for the next meeting. The goal is to take those sections
that will work best for Nauset and use them to update the Nauset policies.
8) The subject of private roads was discussed. Dr. Hoffmann to investigate the subject
with Town Administrators.
9) Dr. Hoffmann suggested that additional transportation policies might need to be
developed/formalized for Nauset—(i.e. non idling policy, private/charter school
transportation, bus accident procedure, overnight student travel, school choice student
transportation, etc.)
