policies

PHILLIPSBURG | School board officials
want to begin reviewing the district's policies in the next
several months.
School board member Chafik Zarbatany Jr.
said the last review of district policy was in 2002, and the
most recent review before that was 15 years ago.
"We're going to start going over policy
again," Zarbatany said.
Zarbatany said the district's current
policy for food and travel reimbursements includes $5 for
breakfast, $7 for lunch, and no more than $60 a night for a
hotel.
"I don't know where you can go" for that
price, Zarbatany said.
Zarbatany said he would like the board's
policy committee to meet a minimum of four times a year to
prevent policy from lapsing in the future.
In other district news, the board
approved the American Cancer Society's use of the
Phillipsburg High School stadium for its annual Relay for
Life fundraiser June 10 and 11.
Initially, relay organizers thought 2005
was their last year at the high school because of plans to
install new turf in the football stadium.
Last year's relay drew 1,800 people, and
organizers are estimating between 2,000 and 2,400 people for
this year's relay.
