I don't know whether the individual say it or you were 6 00:00:55,540 --> 00:01:02,500 chair or supposed to say who's virtual and who's in attendance. Maybe I can cover that and just say 7 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,160 for today, where you are all virtual, and then maybe when we're hybrid, we can say whether 8 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,280 there any person or virtual.

Kevin Rossley thinks it's a great idea, 53 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:59,800 he's looked at it, it's good. And so in essence, the acceptance would be a 54 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,260 or Memorial Tree. And I'm hoping that you will accept it. So moved. 55 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,220 I'm happy to second it, 56 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,600 but is it okay that we don't have like a dollar amount estimate? Like a reable of $1,500. 57 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,880 That's $1,500. Okay. And that's give or take. There may be some flux within that. 58 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,480 They will cover all of it. Okay. So moved with the flux. 59 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,500 Not a second.

Yeah, nice. A good bench. There's nothing better than a good bench. Very nice. 72 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:15,320 Okay, so next is the draft LSLSSC meeting calendar. So this is the calendar. It's linked in the 73 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,680 agenda of our meetings this year. 74 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,660 And I think we've both kind of double-checked that there are 75 00:05:23,660 --> 00:05:34,050 correct days but who knows more on. I mean that's day bad as the date. So I think there's a 76 00:05:34,660 --> 00:05:39,770 it says Tuesday March 10th but I think it's supposed to be Wednesday March 10th. 77 00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:52,530 Tuesday is March 9th. Yep, you are correct. I'm fixing it right now. 78 00:05:52,530 --> 00:06:01,170 Okay, let me just check and then I like you guys I've looked at this and I just couldn't find 79 00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:07,030 and it could be here. So just correct me. Is there a Lincoln meeting? 80 00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:16,130 Oh, from yes. There is okay. What's it somewhere where the heck is it? I thought I had it in here. 81 00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,910 Hold on, usually we do that. Maybe I don't have it in there. 82 00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:28,890 Could have done it could be here. I just didn't see it you know why I didn't even think to look for it 83 00:06:28,890 --> 00:06:36,250 So I could do this is why we do this is Lincoln town meeting. Okay. Yeah, give me a second here 84 00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:39,910 Let's see here 85 00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:46,350 Yeah, when do we usually run that? Oh 86 00:06:47,170 --> 00:06:52,950 That actually if we did it this year. I'm sorry this past year 87 00:06:54,930 --> 00:07:17,930 It looks like I have that slated and I apologize for March the March 10th meeting. Actually, I runically enough, that's similar to when we had it last time and so I can actually do this and I'm going to go back to the 10th meeting March 10th. 88 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:28,400 And boom, so I just put that in for Lincoln Town Hall, March 10th Wednesday. 89 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:38,770 And that does is consistent with how we did it this year in past years. 90 00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:42,690 And can we do the other thing that will be in the Donaldson room? 91 00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:53,450 Yeah, so what we'll do is, is this gets approved and then we'll, will, should we all get on, ensuring, yes, best we can with the Donaldson room. 92 00:07:53,770 --> 00:07:59,950 All of the Donaldson room is the one with all the, that is, we have to... 93 00:07:59,950 --> 00:08:06,770 We actually like to the smaller room better. Yeah, so I don't know if that unless I change the owl 94 00:08:06,770 --> 00:08:11,190 I think that this is our room. This is the better owl room actually is better tech-wise 95 00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,330 The Donaldson room if you remember when we had 96 00:08:14,290 --> 00:08:16,430 Oh my gosh, so yeah 97 00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:24,010 We kept losing it. Yeah, that was the owl. That's why I kept hooting at us 98 00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:29,510 Okay, so whatever room is better. Yeah, and yeah 99 00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:37,130 can do hybrid if necessary. Yes. Yeah, they're the only two things that I noticed. 100 00:08:37,690 --> 00:08:44,150 Thank you. Yeah, thanks for catching that. And I put as many things in, like, for instance, 101 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:51,970 like in December, usually around mid December is when we do the Lincoln budget workshop for 102 00:08:51,970 --> 00:08:59,150 the FY28 budget, and then right, I think last year it was on the same day, but they usually right next 103 00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:07,490 each other and then there's the Sudbury FY this year's budget FY27 budget pressure's meeting. 104 00:09:08,210 --> 00:09:13,570 And so one looks at next year for Lincoln and one looks at this year for Sudbury is how that goes. 105 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:16,990 I just don't know when that's going to be. We just need to wait for it to hear from them. 106 00:09:17,130 --> 00:09:22,370 I put a tentative date for the Lincoln one. Just know that the Sudbury one usually is within 107 00:09:22,370 --> 00:09:27,650 right around that if not the same week and I'll put those in as soon as I get that from Sudbury. 108 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:46,080 While we are on the topic of calendar, the workshop, so we have it right now for August 26th, 109 00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:55,400 but Jack has ended up with a conflict that can't be changed. The next best day was August 27th. 110 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:04,200 I'm wondering if everyone could just quickly check their calendars now and see if August 27th would work rather than August 26th 111 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,580 It may be that somebody else. I can't quite remember there was someone else who couldn't make it, but 112 00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:20,860 Yeah, I can do it 113 00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:23,350 I can make it 114 00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:24,750 It's time would be 115 00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:27,030 Is starting a five o'clock is that correct? 116 00:10:27,470 --> 00:10:28,830 Mm-hmm. Yeah 117 00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:31,250 It'd be not a conference for me 118 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:37,350 Should work for me too unless I, there's something that wasn't on my calendar. 119 00:10:38,350 --> 00:10:40,570 Yeah, that's fine. 120 00:10:40,910 --> 00:10:44,090 So, for it's really just the variable would be Charles. 121 00:10:45,410 --> 00:10:45,590 Yeah. 122 00:10:46,610 --> 00:10:53,050 I feel like I might have asked him, but okay, so let's, let's not change it yet. 123 00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:59,190 Let me check with Charles and see if the 27th works, then why don't we plan to switch it to the 26th. 124 00:10:59,190 --> 00:11:05,810 set could not make it on the 26th. So I will ask if she can make it on the 27th. 125 00:11:06,050 --> 00:11:12,070 I think she was a no on the 26th and the 27th. Yeah, I think she's gone that whole. Yeah. 126 00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:19,930 Okay. All right. Thank you. So I think we should vote to approve this calendar. 127 00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:28,810 Anybody have a motion? Yeah, move to approve the calendar as presented 128 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:32,390 earlier with the edit. 129 00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:35,460 All right, I'll second that. 130 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,640 All right. 131 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,600 All right. 132 00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:42,160 All right. 133 00:11:42,260 --> 00:11:42,420 All right. 134 00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:43,160 Ryan. 135 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,040 Bobby. 136 00:11:45,820 --> 00:11:46,000 Simon. 137 00:11:46,820 --> 00:11:47,600 And Jason. 138 00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:48,520 McClure. 139 00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:50,340 And better eye. 140 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:51,620 So that is proved. 141 00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:53,920 All right. 142 00:11:54,220 --> 00:11:54,980 Moving right along. 143 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,720 Student rights and responsibilities handbook. 144 00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:00,340 Andrew, you want to just give us an update. 145 00:12:00,340 --> 00:12:03,520 on that and what we just need to take attention to in those documents. 146 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:11,800 So I put a few things in. One was just the comparison chart that you've already seen before. 147 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,360 The other is the student rights and responsibilities handbook that has specifically 148 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,080 all of the changes in it including the attendance and the academic integrity, which 149 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:34,360 When you were viewing it in June had not been crosswalked in that so that is in the complete handbook that you have 150 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:45,280 The main item I know that there was some questions on was if you actually clicked on to the link for the attendance procedure 151 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:54,080 I also highlighted it in the big student handbook, but this is just you know if you just went to the attendance when it's easier to find 152 00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:07,400 So we have language. There were two areas in terms of feedback. One was connected to ensuring that we are compliant with state law with regard to parent notification of absences. 153 00:13:08,540 --> 00:13:14,180 And so the in yellow is the and this is for verified absences, okay. 154 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:28,100 indicates that that's language that applies to that, and then we also for unverified or for, you know, unverified absences and or cuts. 155 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:40,000 That is a procedure that we have, I think actually in our school committee policy, that there's a parent notification piece with regard to that. 156 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:47,940 and so the two of them together have us compliant with that aspect of that more ahead found of the 157 00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:55,780 state law regarding parent notification of blocks of absences that kids may have. The other 158 00:13:55,780 --> 00:14:02,880 piece was feedback that came down if you scroll down to the second page of that of the attendance 159 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,840 procedure. I'm sorry page three.

Just a super minor thing. It looks like the formatting 203 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:58,400 got a little screwed up on one of the pages. Page six maybe. You know, before it's sent down. 204 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:08,920 Are you in the standalone? Yes. Yeah, so that's not what's going to go out. It'll be the total 205 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,980 handbook. Okay, so that's actually, yeah, and that's a double share and just regard it. 206 00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:21,880 Yeah, but I thought the prior two continents were also, but I agree with them, and I just fixed it 207 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,680 in the stand alone too. I don't know why I did that, but should be fixed. 208 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:34,680 Great. Okay, I asked what last question, and maybe it's in here. I'm just not seeing it. 209 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:41,500 absence for visiting a college like after you're accepted and you go back and visit. Is that considered 210 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:50,620 unverified? Because it's not, I think it's actually in there. College because it's aren't 211 00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:56,000 excused. I thought it would include college narrative. I feel like I saw it the first time around 212 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,560 that I'd come find it again. Okay, there it is. And it's one where, you know, that then 213 00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:10,300 would be given the fact that there's a pretty, pretty reasonable cushion, you know, of the number 214 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:17,600 that that that's not going to be an issue for the kids that are, you know, many of the kids that are 215 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,160 that are tied to that. If it is, it's something that needs to be communicated with regard to family 216 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:28,640 kid if that's something coming up, but that would be I would be very surprised if that impacted folks. 217 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:36,260 Right. Right. And that way. Okay. Any other questions on this attendance policy? 218 00:19:39,290 --> 00:19:40,050 Any other questions 219 00:19:40,050 --> 00:19:54,410 on the student rights? So we would be voting on that within voting on students rights and 220 00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:59,710 all of the all of the changes they're in. Okay. Include attendance and that would include academic 221 00:19:59,710 --> 00:20:05,050 integrity and all the other changes that were presented and we're in that crosswalk document. 222 00:20:06,970 --> 00:20:13,560 I like to have one vote. I like the communication summary. That was helpful. The bill will be helpful. 223 00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:18,330 Tracy and Susan are very proud of that visual. 224 00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:37,130 Okay, so I guess if there aren't any other questions on the handbook, we can do a vote for the hand on the handbook, is there a motion to approve the final student rights and responsibilities handbook for our 2023 627. 225 00:20:44,370 --> 00:20:44,970 More. 226 00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:45,370 remove. 227 00:20:46,450 --> 00:20:52,190 And second feedback, all right roll calls vote more up. 228 00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:53,570 Pretty, Jackie. 229 00:20:54,210 --> 00:20:54,510 Jaz. 230 00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:56,410 Robby Simon 231 00:20:56,410 --> 00:20:57,210 Duncan 232 00:20:57,210 --> 00:20:59,490 G incapable arrived. 233 00:20:59,810 --> 00:20:59,870 depth. 234 00:21:00,970 --> 00:21:01,350 Okay. 235 00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:02,030 Uh. 236 00:21:02,030 --> 00:21:02,430 approved. 237 00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:04,430 Thank you very much. 238 00:21:05,310 --> 00:21:06,970 All right October 10. 239 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:08,070 Post Trip. 240 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:13,190 Uh, this was also a last week thing that I'm sneaking in. 241 00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:14,950 Um, but we, 242 00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:20,170 The German Exchange is occurring at the end of next year as do up. 243 00:21:21,010 --> 00:21:36,990 I don't know, for those of you that were on the committee two years ago, the last time this was school committee approved a posh sponsored trip in October and this is that same trip again. 244 00:21:37,550 --> 00:21:39,510 So it's timed with the German Exchange. 245 00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:45,490 completely paid for through Posh.

And then a discussion of the goals like we do each year and set 288 00:24:43,730 --> 00:24:51,330 some goals for the year. And then we have so we don't have like a professional development session 289 00:24:51,330 --> 00:24:57,030 planned or anything like that, but more of a series of discussions that kind of relate to, 290 00:24:57,070 --> 00:25:01,490 I think, where we're going to end up with our goals to check in on things and think about 291 00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:09,410 some strategies for meeting those goals. But actually, before that, one thing would be to also 292 00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:18,670 review the updated LSSC webpage to get some feedback more out of things for working on that. 293 00:25:18,670 --> 00:25:30,330 And I see that LSS, the LSS web page, is all website, is all at the state, and so you've been working on the LSS page, specifically is that correct. 294 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:39,270 Andrew Kirida and I have a meeting this summer and just speaking it and they've been really helpful. 295 00:25:42,490 --> 00:25:59,030 So some of the other topics we thought that would be useful to touch on in terms of planning for the year include advisory update and are there areas that we want to think about this upcoming year for collecting data or looking at data related to advisory. 296 00:26:00,910 --> 00:26:16,830 Also, some follow-up discussion around planning to assess the calendar implementation and how that works during the year, so something that's going to be new this year and we want to try and think about how do we see how it's going as a year goes along. 297 00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:26,430 to other topics that were raised was academic integrity and AI proofing is there something 298 00:26:26,430 --> 00:26:34,890 around AI that we might want to touch on or discuss equity and hiring is their information 299 00:26:34,890 --> 00:26:39,170 that we want to collect during the year or procedures and protocols that we want to think 300 00:26:39,170 --> 00:26:43,790 about and how would we want to approach that topic moving forward. 301 00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:49,550 health insurance was also brought up as a potential topic and there are things that we want 302 00:26:49,550 --> 00:26:54,230 to look into given obviously high cost and escalation of health insurance. 303 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:57,290 And then just have 304 00:26:57,290 --> 00:27:03,910 some discussion around planning ahead for PD. So I think the other the other two chairs so 305 00:27:03,910 --> 00:27:09,370 at the Lincoln and Sudbury chairs I met with it and we thought maybe an interesting thing rather 306 00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:15,810 then doing. So every year we typically have a try district meeting to discuss a topic, and 307 00:27:15,810 --> 00:27:21,630 we thought maybe this year it might make sense to do a common PD session. If there's a PD topic 308 00:27:21,630 --> 00:27:26,690 that both of that all three committees are interested in. So it would be great to spend some time, 309 00:27:26,830 --> 00:27:31,730 I think during this workshop thinking about some possible PD topics, and then we can see if that 310 00:27:31,730 --> 00:27:34,890 aligns with what the other two committees are looking at. 311 00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:39,810 So those are some of the things that we've 312 00:27:39,810 --> 00:27:46,330 about and you want to try and organize it into a nice agenda, but just wanted to get some initial 313 00:27:46,330 --> 00:27:53,050 feedback and see if anyone had other thoughts. It's a lot of things, so I think we may need to 314 00:27:53,050 --> 00:27:59,350 like hold in on a few topics, Jason. Yeah, I'm interested in an update on the cell phone policy 315 00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:07,310 and what the administration will were anticipating doing about that, whether that's something 316 00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:11,710 that's going to get tackled this year. I haven't seen anything happening in the legislature 317 00:28:11,710 --> 00:28:15,790 about that recently. So I don't know if that's something that made across the finish line or if 318 00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:20,210 it's still still waiting. Oh, I see Ravi's raising his effort. Yeah, Ravi, you're never going to 319 00:28:20,210 --> 00:28:24,230 call me. Because we had talked about it a bit and then we were like, well, you know what's happening for 320 00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:31,750 that. So I was, I was also going to bring that up, Jason, so I appreciate you doing it. Yeah, 321 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:34,810 I still expect it will get through the legislature, 322 00:28:35,950 --> 00:28:41,770 you know, normally the formal sessions where they vote on kind of important substance 323 00:28:41,770 --> 00:28:47,790 of bills end at the end of July. So that's usually the deadline for things to get passed 324 00:28:47,790 --> 00:28:52,690 and be something that the governor's desk. But this this time around they changed the rules 325 00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:58,390 so that they haven't till January that started the next legislative session to get bills 326 00:28:58,390 --> 00:29:02,510 done that are in conference committees so when they're negotiating the differences between the 327 00:29:02,510 --> 00:29:07,770 House and the Senate, because the House worked in that proposal to ban miners from using 328 00:29:07,770 --> 00:29:08,690 social media, 329 00:29:10,810 --> 00:29:14,190 I assume they're negotiating over that and that that may take a while. 330 00:29:15,310 --> 00:29:20,090 So I think the expectation on Beacon Hill is that, I mean, everyone thinks the cell phone ban 331 00:29:20,090 --> 00:29:26,490 will go through and get done, but yeah, I assume they're going to push the implementation date 332 00:29:26,490 --> 00:29:31,710 that back because I don't know what it's going to come out of conference. But I agree it's worth 333 00:29:31,710 --> 00:29:36,530 discussing and planning for because I think that's still very likely to be an end it. 334 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:40,590 Okay. Well, that did. Laura, 335 00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:46,120 we've had a touch upon this. I'm not sure if it's really a workshop topic, 336 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:54,280 but vocational. And I'm not sure what to really talk about, but what is LS's role is their role. 337 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,860 So, how can we help, um, so it's really a broad. 338 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:09,880 It's a start of conversation. In our district, I don't know where it's going to go, but maybe it's not appropriate for this meeting, but just a thought. 339 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:17,460 Could be a interesting thing, actually, to have a session where we bring in someone who knows more about it, it can talk to them about it. 340 00:30:21,900 --> 00:30:26,440 That's a critical topic and there's one way of looking at those. 341 00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:35,880 We could include SPS, both SPS and LPS, since it's technically their jurisdiction. 342 00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:43,900 And the select boards for each time, since they're the ones that are moving ahead with the issue. 343 00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,580 But it's certainly an important topic. 344 00:30:47,780 --> 00:30:50,880 I just, I don't think, it's probably enough for us 345 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,440 to talk among ourselves without talking 346 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,460 to the, including those folks as well, 347 00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:01,360 because that's the other ones that actually have to do it, 348 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,820 but like I'm a better word. 349 00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:04,440 But I think it's, I think it's a, 350 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,960 it's like a part of the, like, getting within the minute man. 351 00:31:08,940 --> 00:31:11,620 Yeah, but I know that the agreements 352 00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:14,400 between the select boards and the vocational schools. 353 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,040 I was thinking more along a line of how can we help our students? 354 00:31:19,140 --> 00:31:24,740 I know they're not our students yet, but is there a role that we can play to assist in that? 355 00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:30,040 And yeah, just to educate ourselves on it, you know, I hear things, but I don't know 356 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:36,520 what's accurate, what's not. So I'd just love to learn more about how many kids applied, how many kids 357 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,800 got in how can we help next year if they're working and who didn't get in. I'm really just 358 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:52,320 looking to learn and see if there's a place for us to help. And also learn if we can help 359 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,080 you know get a agreement. Who knows? I don't know is the point I just left to learn more. 360 00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:05,440 Okay.
