I've heard feedback 48 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:14,790 Certain people thought we went really really fast. I just want to say we didn't right we did this at a pace that we could 49 00:04:14,790 --> 00:04:28,810 and be very thorough in the process, but also be early in the superintendent's search so we could choose who we wanted to choose and not wait for everyone else to choose and then have whatever's left right? 50 00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:38,970 Excuse me. So thank you, because I know what went into taking the pace that we did with the due diligence that we had. So I just want to say thank you for all of that. 51 00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:44,870 I also just really quickly wanted to express my gratitude for both the school committee and 52 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:55,990 the search committee, but also for the involving the students in so many facets of the whole process from site visits to surveys and stakeholder input and having both me and 53 00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:58,330 Rhea on the search committee and the whole process throughout. 54 00:04:59,350 --> 00:05:04,070 So I was just really grateful for the opportunity that student voice was included throughout the whole process. 55 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:05,430 I just wanted to mention that too. 56 00:05:09,650 --> 00:05:20,850 I mean, it seems crazy because we're all, you know, so forever indebted to all of your work, but I would be remiss if I didn't take, you know, my opportunity to just say a personal thank you. 57 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:35,190 Search committees are a lot of work. It's hard work. It's emotional. It's time consuming. And everybody coming out and putting it in all their, they're all in giving honest feedback so that we can continue. 58 00:05:40,510 --> 00:05:49,730 So, I am so thankful for all of you and the members that couldn't be here that showed up and gave their honest feedback. 59 00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:53,010 Also, the different site visits. 60 00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:57,750 The amount of feedback that came out of those was incredible. 61 00:05:58,130 --> 00:06:01,630 People definitely took the time to be thoughtful and thorough. 62 00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:13,750 So thankful for the student voice, they are so honest and I think that they had some really great feedback to take into consideration. 63 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:24,370 And of course, Stephen Lynn and our fearless organizer Diane, who might not always feel fearless, but certainly she is. 64 00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:28,670 I just want to thank all the parents, the teachers, the students. 65 00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:32,430 Andrew, you go to school, the entire search committee staff. 66 00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:38,030 I enjoyed reading everyone's feedback that gave us a lot of insight. 67 00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:41,490 And thank you for putting in your long nights, you didn't have to do it. 68 00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:44,010 Andrew, thank you because you have school, you put in a long day. 69 00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:48,110 So I'm very grateful for you to have joined the search committee. 70 00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:49,170 Thank you. 71 00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:59,090 I'd be remiss if we don't let Diane say a word or two could be just a word or two could be 20 if you want but you deserve more than. 72 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:59,450 Yeah. 73 00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:07,830 Well, thank you for everything you just said and I from coordinating it to some point and observing it. 74 00:07:08,010 --> 00:07:16,370 I can say that it was an extremely satisfying process to listen to everybody's feedback and the search committee. 75 00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:22,550 We just work so well together to come up with the candidates, so thank you for letting me be a part of it. 76 00:07:23,650 --> 00:07:24,230 Thank you. 77 00:07:26,030 --> 00:07:30,370 We don't have to go through the entire process of the last three or four months. 78 00:07:30,770 --> 00:07:42,930 Still trying to realize that it actually happened and we're coming to this day here, but as a chair, I'm declaring that the matter of selecting our next superintendent is appropriately before the school committee. 79 00:07:42,930 --> 00:07:57,710 We have gone through all the proper procedures, all the proper protocols, and we've done the full vetting, including these seven hours of candidate interviewing this past Saturday, which went very, very well. 80 00:07:57,930 --> 00:07:58,750 Thank you all for that. 81 00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:03,150 So I'm declaring that the matter is properly before the school committee. 82 00:08:04,370 --> 00:08:09,530 And with that said, I will be calling for a discussion that will include two components. 83 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:13,870 discussions about the candidates and the method of selection or election. 84 00:08:16,990 --> 00:08:27,050 I think the appropriate approach and we discussed this a bit on Saturday and before as well is to have a discussion first related to the appointment of the superintendent. 85 00:08:27,870 --> 00:08:36,750 And as that deliberation proceeds, we'll see whether we're prepared to take a vote either through a ballot method or through a motion. 86 00:08:38,150 --> 00:08:44,630 I'm prepared to do either, in fact I'd like to hear from my colleagues if they would prefer either method. 87 00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:48,970 Now or later, it's up to you, but I think we're ready for deliberation. 88 00:08:54,090 --> 00:08:54,530 Everyone concur? 89 00:08:55,930 --> 00:08:56,810 Thank you. 90 00:08:58,110 --> 00:09:04,090 It's originally the chair waits to the end, and I think that's unfortunate, and it's unfair to you guys as well. 91 00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:09,410 So I'll make a few comments to kick us off, and then proceed. 92 00:09:12,930 --> 00:09:18,310 And I apologize if I'm a little bit blunt to the point sometimes, but that's me. 93 00:09:19,010 --> 00:09:25,490 So I think Mansfield's an academically rigorous and high performing district that supports all of our students' growth. 94 00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:30,490 High learners, high achievers, high needs, all the way around. 95 00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:33,430 It requires leaders that have the degrees and 96 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:38,650 backgrounds that are instructionally focused on leader that can elevate the bar from where we are today and 97 00:09:38,650 --> 00:09:40,890 prepare our leadership teams and staff to succeed. 98 00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:47,290 So in some ways, anything less than that is cheating our potential, cheating the potential of our current and future students. 99 00:09:48,710 --> 00:09:54,050 And one thing we talked about a lot was fitting this superintendent in with the assistant superintendents. 100 00:09:54,470 --> 00:10:00,790 Now, that's how it went through the criteria episode, that was how it went through a lot of what 462 residents, 101 00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:06,290 parents, guardians, and staff gave us their thoughts on what they'd like to see in the next superintendent pack in December. 102 00:10:07,390 --> 00:10:11,510 So we could supplement what is lacking in some of these candidates with strong assistance 103 00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:15,930 for attendance, but not when we have a clearly superior candidate right in front of us. 104 00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:23,730 So my favorite for this position was my favorite since we first interviewed her. 105 00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:26,310 And I was very pleased to see her as a finalist. 106 00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:32,010 That opinion didn't change at all, it didn't change even from some encouragement from one of our state representatives. 107 00:10:32,010 --> 00:10:41,830 In order to change that opinion change, when those who attended the visits last week expressed their opinions as well, I've kind of held steadfast to that. 108 00:10:44,060 --> 00:10:47,120 She clearly has the education experience to bring her to shift forward. 109 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:56,180 She has required experience in the classroom, which is something I value as well and has preferred degrees and her approach to spot on with what we may need. 110 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:18,360 I guess I was taken aback by some of the responses by finalists and those who we interviewed initially, but, and yeah, I said we did leave some qualified candidates on the table, but I do like the selections we have and based on the criteria I just laid out, I do a preference at this time, 111 00:11:22,970 --> 00:11:24,090 the preference would be Michelle. 112 00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:40,160 So how do we want to do this? Do we want to just make a motion and see if we're all feeling the same way? 113 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,760 No, deliberations, talk about the candidates, that's what we're here for, make sure you keep the factual. 114 00:11:45,620 --> 00:11:52,140 All right, well, I'll go next one. For one Steve, I'm going to say that I agree with you. 115 00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:04,840 You can record now, I'll let you record the meeting all you want. 116 00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:11,100 I think that Michelle stood above the rest. 117 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:20,180 I think we again had excellent candidates from the very start, though, I guess from Wednesday 118 00:12:20,180 --> 00:12:21,200 when it was the first day. 119 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:27,860 I met Michelle, she just, I don't know it felt right, I felt like she could move our 120 00:12:27,860 --> 00:12:34,740 district forward. She showed up in her interview wearing Mansfield green. I really loved that. 121 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:42,840 She was also the only candidate to follow up with an email, which really spoke volumes to me. 122 00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:54,730 Next. I feel I saw the candidates the most so I don't want to go. 123 00:12:54,910 --> 00:13:00,470 Third, so I'm going to be in agreement with the Steve and Jen. 124 00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:10,910 I didn't have her ranked first on paper and then we, I attended all three of the parent 125 00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:17,070 meetings because I am a parent and I got to see all of them and how they interacted with 126 00:13:17,070 --> 00:13:24,310 the parents which to me was super, super important to see in addition how they all showed up to 127 00:13:24,310 --> 00:13:29,990 the interviews here. She just really, really stuck out and impressed me and I have to 128 00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:35,190 agree with what Jen said. The extra touch of the reach out after the fact, what I thought 129 00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:41,210 was a very, very important touch. The Mansfield Green I picked up on as well and I just really 130 00:13:41,210 --> 00:13:47,030 loved her energy and what she brought to her interactions with every person that I saw 131 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:52,950 her interact with. So, I am also in favor of Michelle. Also, I just want to add to that 132 00:13:54,190 --> 00:14:03,070 in the student survey, Michelle was the only candidate that the 100% of the students felt 133 00:14:03,070 --> 00:14:07,770 confident in. So, that was just another. All right, can I have to talk? 134 00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:11,810 I will say, I narrowed 135 00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:20,710 down to candidates and like Jen over here said originally, the person I'm going with at this moment. 136 00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:28,630 I wanted to see a little bit more from because on paper I needed a little more but she definitely did wow me in person. 137 00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:33,990 And it's more than that, I'm about the students, I'm about special education for those that know me. 138 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:38,370 I am about the marginalized community, I'm for everyone's special ed, 139 00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:49,270 higher achievers and everyone in between someone who has personality, someone who's going to be there, someone who cares about relationships with the students, teachers, staff, and us as well because you've got to get along with us too, right? 140 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:56,050 So, I will say, I will make my decision for Michelle from North out of Borough. 141 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980 So I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet all three of the candidates in two different settings, the student, quorum, input session, and also on Saturday with the final interviews. And I think there were at least one or two candidates who, I saw some discrepancies in how they kind of felt towards each individual session, whether be with the students or with us. And I was kind of a big red flag for me. But for me, I would also go with Miss McEwen. I thought everything was consistent in all the time. 142 00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:34,680 I spent with her, she seemed really in it for the students, which I appreciated. 143 00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:43,100 And I think looking back through my notes, she has a lot of familiarity with a lot of the things that we're already about, 144 00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:47,580 whether it be as well as the website we use and also the 4Ls and student voice summit. 145 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:55,300 And so I think it would be a smooth transition, but she would also be able to bring new things to the table that she has in her past experience. 146 00:15:55,300 --> 00:16:01,420 So, for those reasons, Michelle McEwan would definitely be my first choice. 147 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:02,620 Anya? 148 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,820 I don't think there's a lot left to say, but I hasn't been said. 149 00:16:08,420 --> 00:16:12,280 I had the opportunity, obviously, to be on the search committee. 150 00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:19,560 I went into the search thinking I wanted to really see more experienced, superintendents 151 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,160 So to Vivian and Jen's point on paper, I wasn't quite sure, 152 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:32,360 but I left the search round thinking that she brought so much more 153 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,360 than what you can pull out of her actual paper application. 154 00:16:36,980 --> 00:16:45,440 And then I had the opportunity to sit in on all of the candidates visits last week 155 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:52,440 with the student group, the staff, and also the parent group for two of the sessions. 156 00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:00,520 For me, there was really no other candidate. I think not only does she have the experience 157 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,260 in the skills, but she also has those soft skills that you're looking for. She was, she greeted 158 00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:11,340 everybody personally. She made sure she knew their names. She went to welcome them as they 159 00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:17,140 We enter the room, it's the soft skills that you want to see as a parent as your child 160 00:17:17,140 --> 00:17:18,020 goes out into the world. 161 00:17:18,020 --> 00:17:21,740 I mean, in terms of just modeling what you want to see our students be able to do. 162 00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:28,840 I think she brings that depth of experience that will help us move things forward. 163 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,820 I think it's often when someone leaves their position, you think about all the new things 164 00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:37,320 are the things you'd like to see change and sometimes it's easy to forget all the good 165 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520 things that are in place that you want continued. 166 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:54,300 And I feel that she will help us continue the best of what we have right now and build on that foundation that Theresa has been able to put in place over these past eight years and then move us forward. 167 00:17:55,580 --> 00:18:08,000 And she's got that, particularly that depth of experience and curriculum and instruction that is going to be very helpful because we are also be onboarding somebody new and assistant superintendent position. 168 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,100 And I thought she was great with the students, I couldn't concur more with the student feedback. 169 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,980 And lastly, you know, as I said Steve did a lot of the back and forth with MAC, I did 170 00:18:23,980 --> 00:18:31,600 a lot of the writing of the materials, I was very intentional when we wrote the position 171 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:42,100 description to weave in the vision and the mission of the district into the position goal. 172 00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:48,500 And she was the only candidate that actually spoke to that and spoke to how it resonated 173 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:49,000 with her. 174 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,420 And I think, if anything, what we're looking for is a superintendent, not with their own vision, 175 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,460 but a vision for us, for how we can reach our district vision. 176 00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:03,280 And I think that, I think Michelle will bring that to us. 177 00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,220 I just wanted to add to Jen made the point 178 00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:11,040 about the student feedback, they were 100% yes, 179 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,380 but across all of the feedback, 180 00:19:13,380 --> 00:19:15,920 she was like 90 something percent yes, 181 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,700 and no one else could touch her. 182 00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:20,360 So, I think, I can't remember how my response 183 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:21,580 was we got on that one. 184 00:19:21,580 --> 00:19:21,880 37. 185 00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:22,660 Thank you. 186 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,560 That's a lot, right?
