1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:09,440
What day is today? Welcome to the Monday, September 14th, 2026, meeting the Senate Chairman of Regional School Committee. Please join me in the pledge of allegiance.

2
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:23,200
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to your Republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, any of this vote, whether it be injustice for all.

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Thank you everyone, we will start with a report from the Director of Finance and Operations, please.

4
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,120
Thank you.

5
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:34,160
Hi everybody.

6
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:40,840
So we felt like it was important two months in to give kind of an entry update.

7
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:46,440
Let you know how things are going and kind of what the plan is for for this school year.

8
00:00:50,660 --> 00:01:01,140
Okay, hi everybody, I'm Jesse Clemens, I'm the new director of Finance and Operations for the public, thank you.

9
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:08,340
So, very supported in my new role with an incredible team already.

10
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:15,600
There are five of us, there is an assistant director, we have payroll coordinator, Accounts Payable and Treasurer,

11
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,620
with varied experience, either doing the job in other cities and towns or spending a

12
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:28,740
lot of time working here at DUI. We've really come together as a strong team. Again,

13
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,020
weekly meetings, having a real team feel and just making sure that we can lean on each

14
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:40,980
other for a lot of the different kinds of learning that we've been doing over the few months.

15
00:01:40,980 --> 00:01:52,420
And then I feel like my role is just to really lead and advocate for that team as we start to figure out like really efficient processes for finance.

16
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:11,300
So so far, for the first about 60 days in, we're really focusing on our grant reporting and management to continue the precision, making sure that our funds are spent, meeting deadlines reporting accurately.

17
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:27,460
We are really honed in and using our best accounting practices and Ivisions so that way Ivisions is our system where at any moment we can look and see here's where we are at any given time.

18
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:40,980
Working hard to make sure that communication from even the staff outside in the buildings and the different positions are clear on payroll and accounts payable.

19
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:47,040
processes and then really working hard to partner with human resources to make sure that

20
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,880
that flow from the human resource side over to the finance side for all the variety of things

21
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,120
hiring, again payroll, then paying vendors things like that is really smooth.

22
00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:02,350
And so kind of

23
00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:09,330
some priorities for the year, currently working on our end-of-year report for fiscal 26.

24
00:03:11,310 --> 00:03:15,230
living in fiscal 20, something I'm learning is that you're always living in three different

25
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:15,990
fiscal years.

26
00:03:16,130 --> 00:03:20,810
And this is also, again, like I'm honing in on fiscal 26, getting that end of year report,

27
00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:25,710
complete, which is due at the end of the month, then thinking about budget season.

28
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:31,570
Those are meetings that you'll see on your list of, you know, the variety of budget meetings

29
00:03:31,570 --> 00:03:34,650
that we'll have for fiscal 28 and building that budget.

30
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:40,970
Also shifting, my focus has been so much on the finance and kind of budget and accounting

31
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:46,130
side of things, also the shift to capital planning, and so we're working on setting up

32
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:52,670
meetings for the subcommittee for capital, along with finance subcommittee meetings, and

33
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:55,950
just really doing what's best for the district for long range capital planning.

34
00:03:57,050 --> 00:04:03,190
And then I have been fortunate, I'm a part of the Mazpo program with an advisor from

35
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:06,910
a lot of my regional school district working toward my license.

36
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:14,780
And before questions, I'll just say that again, you'll see like the next few meetings are

37
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:20,160
going to be talking about like building the fiscal 20 budget and kind of giving everybody an

38
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,480
overview of where we're at as much information as possible over the next couple of months.

39
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:28,510
Questions?

40
00:04:29,290 --> 00:04:30,590
Anyone have any questions?

41
00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:32,410
Comments?

42
00:04:34,220 --> 00:04:35,720
I've always quiet, okay.

43
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Marilyn?

44
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,120
So,

45
00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:44,670
this is clear to me and detailed, and I see the progression.

46
00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:51,130
So, I'm going to ask a question about something that maybe you want to get to, or is still brewing,

47
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:59,750
but I remember with the outgoing treasure, there was this report about our funds when it came to scholarship,

48
00:05:00,010 --> 00:05:06,830
and all of that, and how many different accounts we have, is that sort of like a special project that might start this year?

49
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:10,490
So, I'll give credit to the Assistant Director and the

50
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:14,730
Treasurer that they're already digging in and making sure that the

51
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:22,170
reporting, the accuracy of scholarship to bank account, is 100% so it's ongoing.

52
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:33,080
I think the biggest thing that the towns have asked since day one is transparency and

53
00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:38,560
you know, they always want to see more. So, all I would do is as advice would just be

54
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,560
prepared to, you know, be ready for the request and to have everything available. You know,

55
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,620
I know you share it with us, but, you know, there's a lot of eyes always looking at us from

56
00:05:47,620 --> 00:05:53,440
two different towns, and I think it's just important to make sure you're prepared to do that.

57
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,220
So, thank you.

58
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Thank

59
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,440
you.

60
00:05:59,500 --> 00:05:59,980
Thank you.

61
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
I do want to, Jenny would be have a heart attack if I didn't ask a question.

62
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:13,080
So, but a quick question, did you happen to find a couple of million dollars somewhere in it?

63
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:16,860
Not yet. We are working on it.

64
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,700
It's amazing to see how this department has progressed and changed over the years.

65
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,060
And I like hearing that you have a whole team of people working together and everyone has varied skill sets.

66
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:43,600
sounds like bring to the table. So, I would just, you know, I'm sure you are, and along

67
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,580
with Mark, but keeping an eye on the size of this team and making sure that we've got the right

68
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:58,460
number of people with the right skill sets as we, as you've started seeing what work really needs

69
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:06,390
to be done so. Thank you. All right. Moving on to the superintendents report.

70
00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:09,490
Thank you.

71
00:07:10,150 --> 00:07:11,130
I'll get something.

72
00:07:13,540 --> 00:07:17,320
A little out of order. School committee liaison to the select board.

73
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Joe, anything for your math?

74
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:20,140
Yeah, just quickly.

75
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,300
They didn't have a meeting last week because of the election.

76
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,100
But just to point out Mark probably has it in his superintendents report.

77
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:29,360
but...

78
00:07:30,530 --> 00:07:43,590
While the heal feels it's going to be down at the park and they're going to come up here, and I guess kids are going to be out there, but if you haven't seen it, you haven't been involved at seeing it in Washington, D.C.

79
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:59,650
It's the only place in Massachusetts, it's going to be. So it's a tremendous thing. I'm having the honor of placing my cousin's panel in, he lost his life, he was an immigrant, and he got his citizenship posthumously.

80
00:07:59,650 --> 00:08:04,590
But if you haven't seen it, it's really moving in and it's something that you should see.

81
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:05,910
So thank you.

82
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,660
John, then anything for Dennis?

83
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,420
Yes, and I'm so excited to report on this.

84
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,100
Thank you for this opportunity, by the way.

85
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:26,650
Really nothing was spoken other than the fact that they're pushing forward with the Wixen project.

86
00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:33,810
And so they have the construction people are coming in and then they're going up to

87
00:08:33,810 --> 00:08:38,950
I think it's blocked and consulting with somebody that's going to tell them about a

88
00:08:38,950 --> 00:08:42,710
specialist for baitment and how they're going to take care of that.

89
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:49,930
And the only other thing, just from a financial standpoint, they are putting on the fall meeting

90
00:08:49,930 --> 00:09:02,810
I'm a warrant a five million dollar expenditure for the Susuit Harbor Project that they've been talking about for the past couple of years other than that nothing that I think would pertain to us.

91
00:09:03,090 --> 00:09:05,690
Thank you for the report and you're very welcome for this opportunity.

92
00:09:08,530 --> 00:09:10,370
I know there weren't enough meetings in your life.

93
00:09:12,670 --> 00:09:14,850
Okay, now let's you bring ten minutes for a point.

94
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:26,060
All right. Yes, under some recommendations really, as Mr. Glenn mentioned, the wall that

95
00:09:26,060 --> 00:09:33,860
heels is coming to the town of Yarmith, we've been working at the O'Gosh, just in the

96
00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:40,880
last name of the group. The veterans outreach, thank you. Is the main sponsor or organizer

97
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,820
that's bringing the group to town and to the region and so we've been working, they reached

98
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:55,620
out to the district sometime last spring to talk about how the schools can participate

99
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:03,560
and so we're going to have the, as Mr. Glenn mentioned, the students tomorrow that's the day

100
00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:10,720
of the, I don't know what the right term is, the parade, the processional will arrive as

101
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,360
of wall makes its way down to Parker's partner's landing.

102
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:23,960
Yeah, where we'll be positioned stationed for the first duration.

103
00:10:25,060 --> 00:10:27,860
And so part of that trip will be right down station-av.

104
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:38,560
So all the students that are at the station-av and DUI will come out and greet as it goes by.

105
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,700
And then we have several students from the high school,

106
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:47,280
a couple of the athletic teams are going to go over the following day.

107
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,580
So that's now Wednesday to help and needs to be constructed.

108
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:53,620
It comes in a truck, but then it needs to be constructed.

109
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:01,700
So a couple of the high school athletic teams volunteered to be the part of setting up.

110
00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:06,700
And then we have several of our US history classes.

111
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:12,200
classes will go as then and there's also like a learning experience as part of it so then

112
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:17,660
another way the district will be engaged as a learning experience for the students through

113
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:18,960
their U.S. history classes.

114
00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:22,980
So we're looking forward to the experience and then we'll we've been sharing information

115
00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:29,260
with with our through our social media channels and through our newsletters for families should

116
00:11:29,260 --> 00:11:33,760
they want to just go as well as learning experience for those of the main ways as a school

117
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,900
district that will be participating and we're looking forward to the collaboration, you know,

118
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:45,900
has been a lot of communication over the last months, now it's happened in tomorrow.

119
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,000
Let's see, that transitions into the opening school.

120
00:11:50,260 --> 00:11:54,820
So we had a great start to the school year last week.

121
00:11:55,660 --> 00:11:56,800
You know, I've said it before.

122
00:11:57,420 --> 00:12:00,460
School district isn't anything until the kids show up.

123
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,920
You know, this lots of stuff that does happen during the summer.

124
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600
but it's just not the same until we get 3,000 kids

125
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,120
walk through the door on the first day.

126
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:07,900
I'm on a Wednesday.

127
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,580
I was able to get out and visit all the schools.

128
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,560
There was just great vibes, I don't know if that's still a term.

129
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,640
But it was a term.

130
00:12:17,940 --> 00:12:19,960
With great vibes throughout the district,

131
00:12:20,420 --> 00:12:22,640
lots of smiles, kids greet each other,

132
00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:23,920
who hadn't seen each other over the summer.

133
00:12:24,220 --> 00:12:27,460
Lots of hugs, high fives, high schools,

134
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,600
transition to a bell to bell.

135
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,340
No personal device policy and the kids actually did really well.

136
00:12:35,580 --> 00:12:41,300
I was talking a couple of the APs and the Dean, you know, other than a couple of reminders.

137
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,100
And a couple of kids are just quite frankly needed to access their phone to their schedule.

138
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:51,500
Most of the kids came in and we're here into that policy right away.

139
00:12:51,940 --> 00:12:58,060
I was great to see, you know, here at this building, they've got a pretty well-oiled machine at this point.

140
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:00,380
The fourth graders come in here.

141
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:04,020
If the graders go into the gym, the sixth and seventh

142
00:13:06,610 --> 00:13:29,870
graders go into the auditorium, sort of as a Hogwarts pre-sortering, and then they, then they, from there, get the kids into the, into their spaces and other sixth and seventh grade, they sort of set some expectations, and then this helps with the fourth graders as their first time in this big giant building, they get them into organized into homerums here, and then they go off with their teachers into the space.

143
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:35,010
So it's just a good way to help organize and then at the elementary schools, they were

144
00:13:35,010 --> 00:13:36,050
already about a time.

145
00:13:36,330 --> 00:13:39,330
I started at Station Ab, obviously I'll three of them started at the same time, I tried

146
00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:43,430
to start at a different one each year, but by the time I got to the other two elementary

147
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:48,350
schools, they were already working on school, wide expectations, like, you know, what does

148
00:13:48,350 --> 00:13:49,090
a recess look like?

149
00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:52,270
What does it look like to be in the hallways, what was cafeteria's look like?

150
00:13:52,990 --> 00:13:59,410
So it's just, you know, again, great to see everything up and run in and again to see

151
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:02,150
the positive energy in the district.

152
00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:06,550
Buses were running pretty well today.

153
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:07,790
Wasn't as great.

154
00:14:07,930 --> 00:14:09,870
We had to actually have ton of bus combinations today.

155
00:14:09,930 --> 00:14:10,410
I don't know.

156
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:11,630
I'll have to check in with the bus company.

157
00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:16,370
I don't know if it was just that a lot of sick drivers or what.

158
00:14:17,290 --> 00:14:19,270
But so we're still working out.

159
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:20,850
It's always a little rough in the beginning.

160
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:24,630
But the first couple days actually ran smoother than today for whatever reason.

161
00:14:24,810 --> 00:14:27,630
So at the sort of getting to that, we're still working on some of the routing.

162
00:14:28,330 --> 00:14:36,210
challenges, but we have seen some initial positive response in just as far as timing goes.

163
00:14:36,730 --> 00:14:40,450
And then there are pockets, places where it's rougher than in other places.

164
00:14:42,730 --> 00:14:46,890
So, again, we'll continue to work on smoothing that out with the bus company as we move

165
00:14:46,890 --> 00:14:48,870
forward over the next coming weeks.

166
00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:56,690
All right, the transitions into the next item, which is our 25-year celebration or recognition.

167
00:14:56,690 --> 00:14:59,970
So for years, D.Y. is wrecking.

168
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,880
And I was staff who reached their 25 years of service here in DUI. Last year, we refreshed that tradition, a little bit, by, is there always been a conv, at least, I don't know, I inherited, I don't know how long it's gone on, but I inherited a tradition where those folks were celebrated a convocation and received a small token of appreciation, we expanded upon that last year by having a separate event, doing that.

169
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
but also having a separate event, just, I don't know.

170
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,620
What's the phrase I'm looking for?

171
00:15:37,940 --> 00:15:42,720
I'm trying to expand the appreciation a little bit more

172
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,880
with the event, but then also the token was part of our rebranding

173
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,280
as well, so we rebranded the token to be de-wise specific,

174
00:15:52,820 --> 00:15:55,180
and then also associated a plaque with it as well,

175
00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:57,180
to commemorate the years of service.

176
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:04,100
So last year, we called back everybody that still worked in the district and then now this year going forward.

177
00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:08,120
We will focus on just the folks that are achieving that milestone this year.

178
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,880
But then invite anybody else in the district who wants to celebrate, you know,

179
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:18,720
So if Jenny and I were colleagues in Jenny was, you know, reaching that milestone this year and I wanted to come and celebrate Jenny's achievement.

180
00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:22,420
Then I would come as a, you know, just to celebrate Jenny's achievement.

181
00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:28,180
So this year, it's October 7th. This is also your invitation. If you'd like to come and celebrate.

182
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:35,440
I can have Sarah send you the list of folks that are being recognized this year because I know some people have worked in the district.

183
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:42,500
Some people have other ties to the district. So you may want to come either as a friend colleague, supporter or just as a school committee member.

184
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:50,380
But it's October 7th from 5 to 7. In this year, we worked with the BASER of a country club. They're going to host us over there.

185
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:51,840
So nice little spot.

186
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,860
Nice little great little view of the best river,

187
00:16:54,020 --> 00:16:56,020
so I'm going to be perfect little spot.

188
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,780
And then next item is just an update

189
00:17:00,780 --> 00:17:03,440
on the M.E. Small School Feasibility Study.

190
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:07,560
We're, as I mentioned, I think the last meeting

191
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:13,540
is out for bid this week, two items on the list

192
00:17:13,540 --> 00:17:14,800
or in the steps.

193
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,020
We have a designer pre-bid walkthrough.

194
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:19,320
So that's any designer who's interested

195
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:27,040
in the impotentially bidding, they have an opportunity to walk the site. So that's on Wednesday

196
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:36,220
at 4 o'clock. So the OPM, myself, our facility's director, will be present. All any designers

197
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:42,820
interested that want to walk the site will be able to walk the site. Prior asking any questions,

198
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:48,900
et cetera, prior to submittals. Then we have the building committee meeting, their first meeting

199
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:56,420
for this school year is the following day on Thursday at 430, they'll get an update from the

200
00:17:56,420 --> 00:18:01,300
agendas just about to go out to the committee, but the preview of that is they'll get an update

201
00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:06,660
from they'll get to meet the OPMs because the OPMs will take over running the meetings at this

202
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:17,360
point, you know, as far as helping keeping us on gender obviously the chair is still a chair, but

203
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:23,860
and they will get us an update from the OPM on where the design process is, and then that

204
00:18:23,860 --> 00:18:27,900
group will need to select just like they did for the OPM selection.

205
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:35,140
They'll need to the building committee will need to select a subgroup of the building

206
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:38,420
committee to go through the selection process for the designer.

207
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:46,100
So the whole building committee can't select the designer, a smaller group of the building

208
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:52,620
committee needs to be responsible, and so the OPM will walk through what the requirements of that

209
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:58,580
committee are as like who needs to be on it, MSVA has requirements on who needs to be on that,

210
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,820
and then so then the building committee will make that nominate who's going to be on that committee

211
00:19:03,820 --> 00:19:20,880
and then we'll go forward from there and then last, we've had a difficult week or so in the news

212
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:27,480
media as a district. So I first I would want to start by before I make any public comments

213
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,240
on this, I just want to highlight, you know, when as a school district we went through the process

214
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:39,680
are creating core values. I've mentioned that when we face difficult times is when we would

215
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,260
have to lean on our values. So as we face difficult times I just wanted to highlight the value

216
00:19:45,260 --> 00:19:51,540
of dignity and there were two parts as I went back and revisited our values. There were two things

217
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:58,240
two statements on our values that we determined as a district for the four dignity that said

218
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:06,800
that say specifically in DUI, we honor and affirm the inherent dignity of every person

219
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,180
embracing our shared responsibility to recognize, protect, and celebrate the full spectrum

220
00:20:11,180 --> 00:20:12,520
of the human experience.

221
00:20:13,220 --> 00:20:23,620
And then the second part says that we lead with compassion and empathy, excuse me, embedding

222
00:20:23,620 --> 00:20:27,120
kindness into every interaction, action, and decision.

223
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:36,540
So with that, I think about how as a district and as a superintendent on how to phrase my comments.

224
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:54,460
So as I mentioned, we've received a lot of attention and a lot of folks have a lot of opinions about how the district should have handled this particular situation involved in one of our staff members who had a situation that's become very public.

225
00:20:55,900 --> 00:21:08,180
But sort of in line with those values or with that value and with state laws, what I can share is that the district did take the situation very seriously.

226
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:21,900
The district conducted an investigation and that investigation took place almost immediately after the incident that our staff member was involved with.

227
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:31,200
We conducted an investigation, we made a determination based on that investigation and we took the appropriate action.

228
00:21:32,420 --> 00:21:44,920
The challenge where we find ourselves is all of that happened pretty swiftly all during the summer, and then the media coverage happened.

229
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,420
So what we sort of find ourselves as a district is in a process or a place of two different timelines,

230
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:59,600
where the district, again, you know, are this particular staff members part of our year-round staff.

231
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:07,020
And so we were able to conduct our investigations, meet, take, again,

232
00:22:07,220 --> 00:22:14,180
I'm not going to be able to talk about what action we took, but take the action all before students came to school on September 9.

233
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:17,580
The first day for students in the district was Wednesday, September 9th.

234
00:22:17,580 --> 00:22:23,980
We were able to do all of this move quickly and take appropriate action all before September 9th.

235
00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:28,320
But the story didn't break until after all that action had been taken.

236
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:29,980
And so anybody...

237
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:52,640
Who might look at what the district is doing now and thinking that district's not responding to the story, that may be accurate, but that's because the district's action happened before the news media started to respond to a story, so the news media's response is slower than the district's response to the situation.

238
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,860
And that's really about all I can say to that and that concludes my report and through the

239
00:22:59,860 --> 00:23:01,280
chair I'll take any questions.

240
00:23:03,510 --> 00:23:03,970
Any questions?

241
00:23:05,790 --> 00:23:09,950
Yeah, just going back to the cell phone policy.

242
00:23:10,530 --> 00:23:18,890
I don't know if we had updated our cell phone policy and my concern is the upcoming state law

243
00:23:18,890 --> 00:23:22,650
what will happen, which happens a lot to us.

244
00:23:22,650 --> 00:23:30,130
As we go through our whole policy, we set it up, we fund it, or buy equipment, or whatever we need to do,

245
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:35,530
and then the state policy and guidance that comes back is different.

246
00:23:35,870 --> 00:23:44,610
So I'm wondering if there's any concerns, or if we've made invested and if there's any funding that might be forthcoming to us.

247
00:23:44,610 --> 00:23:54,450
Yeah, so first I shouldn't use the word policy because it wasn't a policy change because you all are the only ones who can create policy, so it was a

248
00:23:54,450 --> 00:24:06,750
procedure and guideline expectations at the high school, right? So nothing changed policy, why? So that was a miss speak on my part, so the way the high school is enacting policy changed.

249
00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:17,650
The, and to your second point, or your second question, yes, we still don't know exactly

250
00:24:17,650 --> 00:24:21,910
because it's in conference committee, I believe now, the House at a virgin, the Senate

251
00:24:21,910 --> 00:24:28,490
had a, had a virgin, and if we have to adjust, we'll have to adjust, but the, what the high

252
00:24:28,490 --> 00:24:34,850
school did didn't require any investment in equipment, they had already, the high school

253
00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:36,070
the middle school actually

254
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:43,130
two or three years ago at this point had gotten through a state grant,

255
00:24:43,430 --> 00:24:48,450
had gotten some equipment to lock boxes. They use them here at the middle school,

256
00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:52,590
the kids put them in the morning, and then they have a very brief home room at the end of the day

257
00:24:52,590 --> 00:25:07,030
to go back and get their equipment. The high school has the same boxes. They were using them

258
00:25:12,490 --> 00:25:17,450
So we're still in the feasibility study period, right?

259
00:25:18,130 --> 00:25:19,990
Or I just was afraid that I miss them.

260
00:25:20,350 --> 00:25:23,230
So they're still all the options are open, correct?

261
00:25:23,650 --> 00:25:30,530
Yeah, so technically we have any, well, I mean, so technically, so yes.

262
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:35,890
The short answer, yes, we're in the feasibility study and we're still in the process of even selecting

263
00:25:35,890 --> 00:25:41,430
all the people who are going to help us conduct it. So the OPM is, you know, works for us.

264
00:25:41,630 --> 00:25:46,090
They help us through the process. They help protect the district's interests. And the next

265
00:25:46,090 --> 00:25:51,650
big person is the people who are going to conduct the majority of the feasibility study. Right?

266
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:57,630
So the designer is the person who's going to, you know, come in and book it, the Emmy small

267
00:25:57,630 --> 00:26:01,230
buildings. You're going to look at the station Avenue buildings. Going to look at any of the other

268
00:26:01,230 --> 00:26:05,750
sites. Going to give us cost estimates. Going to do any environmental studies that need to be done.

269
00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:33,750
Like all of that stuff is going to be done by the design firm that gets selected and then put together the options and then ultimately with the committees help get down the building committee get down to the preferred options and then ultimately this committee will have to decide what goes forward but the yes, the we're so we're still very early in the feasibility study process.

270
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:50,790
Yes, and the MSVA has a very prescriptive process that we have to go through to get from all the options down to the preferred options down to like a limited number options then down to the preferred option that has to then go in front of the voters and etc.

271
00:26:51,390 --> 00:26:51,670
Great.

272
00:26:52,050 --> 00:26:54,100
Thank you.

273
00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,000
And I'm not sure if this is where Joe was going, but you know what they're looking at.

274
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,000
Wednesday specifically the space that any small currently sits at correct. Yes, okay

275
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,280
But I think your kind of question was why we're looking at that space and that other spaces in my

276
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:19,300
Yeah, but I get I guess okay, but their currently plan is just specifically to look at the current space that it's on in that area

277
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:22,080
Yeah, because I mean that is the statement of interest

278
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,300
Originally submitted is for any smalls, right? So it's like same same with the OPM's came so when we first met with the OPM

279
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:37,500
The OPMs we've based the conversation around any small, because that's sort of where everything starts from,

280
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:46,120
but then when we've met with the OPMs they ask questions about, because the statement of interest includes

281
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:48,260
conversations about other options.

282
00:27:48,820 --> 00:27:57,620
So then that from there that meeting were able to ask, they're able to ask questions about the other sites and what exactly

283
00:27:57,620 --> 00:28:04,680
the feasibility study needs to include, but that's all also in the RFS, so like when PMA

284
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:10,400
won the bid, you know, you were part of the selection team, right? One of the things that

285
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:18,000
had them stand out above the others is they had already done very early sketches of, you know,

286
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:24,040
other potential options. They had already looked at other sites. They had, you know, looked at,

287
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:30,480
remember correctly, their proposal included, you know, they've done studies, like I know, like

288
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,960
Joe one of your things that you're always curious about is like life of like some of the solar

289
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:41,020
fields and like so they had already done some real preliminary like looks at like when was it built,

290
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,500
you know, what would the buy-out cost be, right? So, you know, those are the people that are working

291
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:52,440
for us, so just though that we would have some early ideas of what some potential options would be

292
00:28:54,260 --> 00:29:03,040
And to sort of make sure that all the potential options the designer will consider when we get to get to this.

293
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,000
And that was often what the RFS for the OPM included.

294
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,980
And they transferred a lot of that to the design or RFS request for services,

295
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,180
which is what they'll all have to respond to,

296
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:22,000
which is what will use to rate and determine which designers the one that gets the wins the bit.

297
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,580
going

298
00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:31,750
up the recognition of service.

299
00:29:32,150 --> 00:29:34,230
It's been going on for at least 20 years and I know.

300
00:29:35,890 --> 00:29:41,930
And if I could, I got a tiny little apple pin for my 25 years, can I come and trade that in for a plaque?

301
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:44,290
We can probably find one.

302
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:59,630
First of all, I just want to say, I think it's very nice that you're doing something like that a recognition and for someone like myself that would mean a lot and going back to what Sarah did.

303
00:29:59,630 --> 00:29:59,970
Thanks for watching.

304
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,320
The retirees this past the June was beautiful as opposed to my clock that stopped working after two years.

305
00:30:08,420 --> 00:30:14,860
I got a question for you following up on that. How many teachers in the district actually have worked 25 years in the district?

306
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:35,340
Yeah, I can get you the number specifically about how many we invited last year, but it was somewhere in the ballpark or 40 or 50 people we invited to the spent all 25 years in the district, is what I'm asking.

307
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:40,100
Yes, because it's, because it's 25 years of service in D.W.

308
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Yeah.

309
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,780
And it was, you know, that was the minimum.

310
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:46,820
So then obviously it's people who, you know,

311
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,340
add more than that, right?

312
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,240
But yeah, it was at least 25 years of service.

313
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,740
We invited them all back of people that were still employed in D.W.

314
00:30:56,740 --> 00:31:00,340
And had at least 25 years of service.

315
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,320
And it was, you know, not everybody was able to make it on the night that we had it.

316
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:11,520
It was somewhere in the ballpark of 40 to 50 people we invited to last year's.

317
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:13,500
A lot of institutional knowledge there.

318
00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:17,260
Yeah, because I remember I, you know, I could dig up my speech because I think I added

319
00:31:17,260 --> 00:31:18,600
up the total number of years.

320
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:23,440
But, you know, if you gave me, I can email it to you once I, that's great.

321
00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:23,960
I don't know if I'd love to.

322
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,300
But I don't remember it off top of my head.

323
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:26,860
That's fine.

324
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:27,880
Thank you.

325
00:31:30,990 --> 00:31:31,990
Anybody else?

326
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,140
Okay.

327
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,420
Next is the school committee, or we've got two things.

328
00:31:40,580 --> 00:31:48,500
We've got mission statements and goals, and I just annoyed Glenn by giving him some

329
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:56,180
last minute changes to the mission statement, which I can go through if anybody wants to.

330
00:31:56,180 --> 00:32:06,340
Okay, yeah, initially, I arrived here tonight with a second draft, it's in your packet

331
00:32:06,340 --> 00:32:12,820
and the changes from the first draft are in red and this came from Maryland suggestion.

332
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:21,380
I plucked from her addition and kind of incorporated that.

333
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,680
trying to keep it as tight as possible.

334
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,400
I didn't want it to get too too worthy.

335
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,340
Although, it is technically two sentences.

336
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,780
There's some extreme run-ons there that English professors

337
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:41,820
would probably just rip me apart for, but that's all right.

338
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,380
And so Jenny, up until that point, Marilyn was the only one

339
00:32:47,380 --> 00:32:50,040
who sent me any sort of updates or suggestions.

340
00:32:51,140 --> 00:32:54,200
Jenny has made a couple of it.

341
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Yeah, I mean, that's why it's so, by all means, please.

342
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,660
It's really just to fix the renon sentences.

343
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:02,760
Because the content is perfect, fantastic.

344
00:33:02,940 --> 00:33:03,700
Thank you so much, glad.

345
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:04,380
This is wonderful.

346
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,720
The only changes I have is in the first line.

347
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,940
I would just take out the word further.

348
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,980
So the Dennis Charmath Regional School Committee's mission is to explore and implement initiatives

349
00:33:16,980 --> 00:33:22,820
to maximize student achievement and to develop the academic skills,

350
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:26,580
critical judgment and creativity needed to achieve excellence with integrity and changing

351
00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:31,960
wealth. No change to the next sentence except to end after school district.

352
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,040
So the D.Y.R.S.E. is committed to ensuring that students, families, and staff,

353
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,960
feel safe. Welcome, supported, respected, and appreciated within Dennis

354
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,020
Permit Regional School District, period.

355
00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:52,200
The committee will achieve its mission through creation and revision of district policies,

356
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,000
establishing and updating district goals,

357
00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:01,820
viscally responsible budgeting,

358
00:34:04,140 --> 00:34:06,580
and empowering and supporting the superintendent of schools

359
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:07,980
to drive initiative's forward.

360
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:15,040
So, I just made it three sentences and took out some extra words in the last sentence.

361
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:15,720
Well, how do you?

362
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,580
So, those would be my suggestions.

363
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,340
Does anybody else have any other last-menace suggestions?

364
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,780
Just help me with the last-

365
00:34:25,780 --> 00:34:26,940
I'm sorry, Joe.

366
00:34:27,460 --> 00:34:27,960
You go ahead.

367
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:29,200
Marilyn and Joe, sorry.

368
00:34:31,140 --> 00:34:35,220
The last part, or the last sentence, it starts with,

369
00:34:35,220 --> 00:34:41,660
It ends with district, the capital D. Yes, and then it's the committee will achieve its mission. Yes.

370
00:34:42,220 --> 00:34:47,980
Thank you. The committee will achieve its mission through creation and revision of district policies.

371
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,960
So question, comment.

372
00:34:51,200 --> 00:35:02,140
Yeah, I don't know how we're Maryland got this, but it was exactly what I was thinking, so I don't know if it was parallel the district mission statement

373
00:35:02,140 --> 00:35:08,620
or and I was going to suggest that we kind of do that but that was perfect that was exactly

374
00:35:08,620 --> 00:35:17,960
what I was thinking and the like I was talking about in the goals that maybe we want to

375
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,980
put academic performance or you know it goes with our core values of excellence and

376
00:35:23,980 --> 00:35:34,380
in student achievement, but they also, when we talk about the core values, we make, I think

377
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,520
the superintendent's, or the district mission statement has the logo with the core values

378
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,260
in it.

379
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:47,260
And I just think that that's because when you list something out, people think that it's

380
00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:52,760
prioritized one thing over the other where it's in that logo and it's in the circle, we know

381
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:58,720
they're kind of equally distant and as important. So those are the only suggestions I have, but excellent.

382
00:36:03,660 --> 00:36:11,220
So is there anything in particular like any wording you want added in based on that or were you just sort of...

383
00:36:11,220 --> 00:36:16,320
I'm sorry. Academic performance or student achievements roped in there somewhere.

384
00:36:16,500 --> 00:36:17,820
So we've got...

385
00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:18,600
Yeah.

386
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,100
I'm sorry, I should have some maximized student achievement.

387
00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:25,660
And I take that to mean overall student achievement.

388
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,260
Be it academic, be it arts, be it in sport.

389
00:36:32,860 --> 00:36:34,520
It's their achievement overall.

390
00:36:35,780 --> 00:36:38,020
Okay, everybody else is good with it.

391
00:36:38,020 --> 00:36:40,880
I just wanted something more specific in that,

392
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:42,400
but everybody's good with it.

393
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,260
I'm good with it.

394
00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:46,400
All right, anybody else?

395
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,440
we need a motion or no?

396
00:36:47,660 --> 00:36:48,480
We will need a motion.

397
00:36:48,620 --> 00:36:51,400
I make a motion to make a motion to approve the

398
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,080
school committee mission statement as read and presented by Ms.

399
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:56,400
Lange.

400
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,040
So, I guess.

401
00:36:58,380 --> 00:37:01,340
With thanks to Mr. Martin for creating this.

402
00:37:01,380 --> 00:37:03,060
For sure, I'm to everyone for adding to it.

403
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,380
So, any further discussion on this?

404
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:06,780
All in favor.

405
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:07,960
Bye.

406
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,040
Bye.

407
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:09,580
unanimous.

408
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,800
Thank you very much.

409
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:12,680
All right.

410
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,280
And then peace plan the school of many goals.

411
00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:20,720
So what you have in front of you is the second draft,

412
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,700
which coincidentally is the same as the first draft.

413
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,860
I did not receive any suggestions as far as edits or updates.

414
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:38,860
Our additions to this, so I just move forward without, you know, without tweaking for your consideration.

415
00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:48,260
Thanks so much, Glenn. These are fantastic. I think these really captured everything we were talking about.

416
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,260
And really nice and concise, down to, you know, for is a good number.

417
00:37:55,460 --> 00:38:00,040
And I'd like to fact that we're building on the things we've already been doing, promoting

418
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,820
continuing to promote the image, continuing to further transparency, build on successes.

419
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,020
No, these are great.

420
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,560
Anyone have any comments?

421
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:11,300
Suggestions?

422
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:12,660
Joe?

423
00:38:14,220 --> 00:38:17,360
Yes, so again, the logo piece.

424
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:25,780
And I think that we should try to look at the parallels with the superintendent goals because

425
00:38:25,780 --> 00:38:30,240
we want to try to mimic them or be heading in the same direction.

426
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:38,120
The important part I think always is to be concise but also to be specific and measurable.

427
00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:47,340
So if we have more specific goals directly and again I get back to the curriculum in

428
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:56,880
academic performance, but I think that they should look side-by-side with the superintendent's

429
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,980
goals so that we can be heading in the same direction.

430
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:09,520
But the other thing I might suggest is that Sean Costello from Mask had said he's open

431
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:16,340
and by the way, I haven't sent him a letter yet, but we might want to just run both of those

432
00:39:16,340 --> 00:39:22,940
by them. I mean, we already proved the other one, but, you know, how other districts do it

433
00:39:22,940 --> 00:39:30,980
and how we compare them, we can start off right with a good thing. But it's like Jenny

434
00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:37,020
said, it's good. It's good. It's four is a good number, so I'm happy with everything and thank

435
00:39:37,020 --> 00:39:37,900
you for doing it.

436
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:49,220
I will say that I did the top three kind of built upon what we had before kind of building

437
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:56,160
upon the last set of goals that we had in improving continuing on where we had our successes.

438
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:02,660
The fourth one, based upon our workshop with Sean,

439
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:10,540
involved supporting initiatives, curriculum review changes,

440
00:40:10,860 --> 00:40:13,680
because we have, we've changed the ELA,

441
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,640
we've changed the math, math curriculum, you know,

442
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:21,640
for the better response will use the district budget, you know,

443
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,540
so we're not, you know, we're not over spending for anything,

444
00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:29,520
and we're trying to get the maximum amount of what we're presenting, most bank for our

445
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:36,780
buck in order to drive increases in student achievement in academic support.

446
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:44,080
So from what I understood from the workshop, the student achievement was a high focal point

447
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:52,160
for us and not just that, but also being able to support our students academically in the way

448
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:57,160
that they need to in order to get as far as they can go themselves.

449
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,180
So that's kind of where the fourth one came to.

450
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,120
So I think, I don't know, in my mind, I kind of addressed

451
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,580
what you're talking about.

452
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,460
Well, and I think that one of my takeaways

453
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:13,660
from the meeting was on that day, the workshop with him

454
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:18,600
was that there aren't very many things that we can control

455
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:28,240
at that, you know, macro, you know, micro, level, so, you know, our goals have to be

456
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:33,300
big picture. And actually, I think they mirror quite nicely, the superintendents goals

457
00:41:34,020 --> 00:41:40,900
of, we've got communication, instruction, organizational effectiveness and safety, which are

458
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:47,440
captured in our four goals. So, you know, I think that's a nice mirror considering that we have

459
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:52,320
very different jobs and, you know, ours have to be a little bit broader.

460
00:41:54,740 --> 00:41:55,700
But, Tomas?

461
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Madam Chair, seeing that this was the second reading and no other changes were submitted.

462
00:42:02,220 --> 00:42:06,900
I make a motion to accept the school committee goals for the 2026-2027 year.

463
00:42:07,060 --> 00:42:07,360
That's impressive.

464
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:13,000
All right, Maryland's second under the wire, sorry, John, motion has been made and

465
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,620
And we can always update these, right?

466
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,000
So this is, you know, any further discussion.

467
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:23,760
Okay, all in favor?

468
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,820
I, unanimous.

469
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,940
Thank you very much.

470
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:27,780
Thank you, Glenn.

471
00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:36,250
Okay, consent agenda.

472
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:39,850
I believe just has the minutes of May 4th and May 18th.

473
00:42:39,870 --> 00:42:41,570
Does anyone move the consent agenda?

474
00:42:41,950 --> 00:42:42,510
To move.

475
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:44,470
Move by Glenn, is there a second?

476
00:42:45,290 --> 00:42:46,490
Seconded by John?

477
00:42:47,170 --> 00:42:47,490
New?

478
00:42:52,950 --> 00:43:04,190
come on. Any discussion on that? Okay, all in favor? I pass unanimously. No bills. No red

479
00:43:04,190 --> 00:43:10,590
folder to sign tonight, excellent. Calenders are in your packet with school committee

480
00:43:10,590 --> 00:43:11,710
meeting topics.

481
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,520
Beginning the school year, there's a lot going on. I'll leave it to everyone

482
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,920
to keep an eye on the calendar.

483
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:21,040
But yeah, open houses around there.

484
00:43:21,620 --> 00:43:25,200
I know D.Y. is tomorrow night.

485
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:29,600
I mean, small Wednesday, this building on Thursday,

486
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,820
next week, station Avon Tuesday and as a baker on Thursday.

487
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,540
So busy, busy time for everybody.

488
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,740
All right, and is anyone here for public comment?

489
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,560
OK, so we have no public comment tonight.

490
00:43:44,660 --> 00:43:45,780
And that's what we have on the agenda.

491
00:43:48,540 --> 00:43:55,040
Motion to adjourn. Motion's the main second in all in favor. I thank you very much
