NEW CUMBERLAND — The Hancock County Board of Education, during its meeting Monday, finalized two adjustments to existing policy, while holding off on a decision for a third proposal.

In addition, a new policy is set to go out for public comment this week.

The board agreed to put Policy GEC – listed as “Experience Credit for Critical Trades Employees” — out for a 30-day comment period.

Approved Monday, following a 30-day comment period, were changes to Policy GCD – Staff Vacation and Holidays, and Policy GCGB – Arrangements for Substitute Professional Staff
