“Setting the Table” is the first of nine classes planned for the summer at Maine Art Gallery (MAG). This class is themed to complement the current exhibit, “Art to Table: Visual Sustenance,” and will be held Tuesday, June 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.

As instructor Elizabeth Reed explains, “the same rules of perspective of a well-set table lend themselves to landscapes, interiors, and imaginary settings.” In addition to learning perspective, students will learn to design an interesting composition that “pushes their imaginations with color and pattern…beyond representation.”

May 12, the Community School District (CSD) school committee did a first read for three new or updated policies. As this was an introductory action, no votes were taken.  

The first was the standard procedures for physical restraint and seclusion of a student. Per the document, physical restraint is only permitted when a student’s behavior presents an imminent risk of serious physical injury to themselves or others, and only after other less intrusive interventions have failed or been deemed inappropriate.
