1
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:20,700
Okay. So, I'm going to call the meeting of the school committee, the ordinance committee to

2
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:29,840
order. We are at 4.08, on today's September 17th. We do have one member working with us remotely,

3
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:39,740
I'm going to go ahead and do a low call, the online we have Adam Holloway switching at the computer.

4
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:50,180
In person, we have Amanda Kingfisher, Ellen Jennevis, Louise Dowth, and myself Diana Noble on the committee.

5
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:54,000
So we're all here and joining us are super intended.

6
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:57,900
Carol learned to know it and I smell visiting us

7
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,780
and representing the select floor.

8
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:05,820
And I think you could eye out if nobody minds.

9
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:08,640
Julie Seven said she was going to join us.

10
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,960
And he hadn't asked me if we would be talking about six

11
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,160
towns close to the beginning.

12
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,940
So if we end up with her, somebody else here to visit

13
00:01:15,940 --> 00:01:17,940
her specific topic, well, I'll try to do it.

14
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,360
That means pause and move that.

15
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,600
I have to run it up to that to the front.

16
00:01:22,580 --> 00:01:22,860
We know.

17
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:24,740
But warning that.

18
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:26,960
How about we follow the cook.

19
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Adam has presented us.

20
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:29,760
Thank you.

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,260
And jump right in with the August 13 meeting that's.

22
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:36,980
Hi.

23
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,500
Well, it's me.

24
00:01:39,220 --> 00:01:41,420
Just make the.

25
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,660
Just one comment on though.

26
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:43,400
Would you explain?

27
00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:57,740
He needs work really hard to develop a girl and I knew from the tuition agreement and if that was the captioning, six, so if there's a favor, she'd you adding that, yeah.

28
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:01,560
Yeah, I did not lend and that's it.

29
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:13,510
I would move the approval as amended and is it okay if I also in the same motion after

30
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:18,760
if you approve the August 19th minutes?

31
00:02:18,940 --> 00:02:19,020
Sure.

32
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:27,120
There's probably time to type that over, I say it before you go ahead, go ahead, go ahead

33
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:27,800
Yeah, sure.

34
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:28,620
Okay.

35
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:30,420
So is there a second?

36
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:32,880
I want to move to, we move both.

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:48,860
second. And Miranda has seconded and here has the special. So it's 90, it's just that a lot of

38
00:02:48,860 --> 00:03:00,480
is new. Perfect. No, no. And were you looking for a number to go in?

39
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,580
I mean, uh, letter, the, I mean, I said, uh, then there are other issues about joining.

40
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,860
Oh, that was like starting and you could put on August 12th. I don't know October 12.

41
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:14,980
I don't know because there will be a presentation, but I didn't know if, what did you want to do with that?

42
00:03:14,980 --> 00:03:19,900
I think I can remove that. I think I, if I remember correctly, that comment was like,

43
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,960
maybe that's when we're going to start the conversation about it.

44
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,060
So you're starting the conversation right now. Yeah. So yeah, I'll just delete that.

45
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:33,170
He told me to create any further discussion on the sets of minutes.

46
00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:35,210
Right.

47
00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:36,550
The rule called vote, Adam.

48
00:03:39,950 --> 00:03:41,010
His lips moved.

49
00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:41,650
Yeah.

50
00:03:41,890 --> 00:03:43,090
We're not hearing you.

51
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:43,870
I'm not sure if it's up to you.

52
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:44,910
But I think I heard yes.

53
00:03:46,590 --> 00:03:47,030
Yes.

54
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:48,350
Yes.

55
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:49,610
Yes.

56
00:03:50,290 --> 00:03:51,070
Notting is good.

57
00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:53,430
Why don't we just go around the table.

58
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:54,430
Yes.

59
00:03:55,070 --> 00:03:55,310
Yes.

60
00:03:56,570 --> 00:04:01,810
We just, yes, and Diana says, yes, so unanimously voted the meeting minutes next

61
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:02,830
was very much.

62
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,120
Yes, they tried so hard.

63
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,680
Do you want to go first?

64
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Are you ready?

65
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:13,940
Yes.

66
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:23,180
So, I think it's indeed right before, but I definitely want to share.

67
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:32,940
from these other bunch of new friends to be one of their old world friends, which is

68
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:44,260
for 25,000. We've won a mass of cases, fresh grants, for 24,000. We've won a call full

69
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:53,220
We just received a check in the foundation for 10,000 more.

70
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:54,440
Oh, that's great.

71
00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:58,500
So,

72
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:09,920
sorry, just amount is calculating this because I had told any of you stuff at 63, that was just recently brought in.

73
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,840
I don't know, each one would have been a first.

74
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:17,700
It's called a, it's a central world brand.

75
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,840
It, I can give you the specific say group.

76
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,400
It's called Rep.

77
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,480
And basically it's like the one that we get from the state.

78
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:31,360
It comes in the October, November.

79
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,120
This is a faithful version of the statement.

80
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,540
We got the application.

81
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:46,320
I think just something that didn't do and it just can't and I can't be used for anything

82
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,560
that you would use for tidal grants. It has to be something that you're suffering,

83
00:05:51,740 --> 00:06:02,860
that you can't have someone have to do. Then we, Jeff and Dave, come have over and over again,

84
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:09,680
they're writing, cramps, like a rebuild all of the garbage that are on the can that this

85
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,780
and be doing progress so that the kids are growing vegetables that are then used in the

86
00:06:15,780 --> 00:06:17,120
catheteric mode.

87
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:21,060
Oh, doing planting that's associated with the cold.

88
00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:26,340
So with the whole

89
00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:48,260
foundation.

90
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:07,230
That's really important.

91
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:10,350
Great way to start this.

92
00:07:10,690 --> 00:07:11,250
Yeah.

93
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:14,960
They share all of

94
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:18,510
it.

95
00:07:18,570 --> 00:07:19,970
Can I ask a question about that?

96
00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:23,910
So that is that, I mean, we should vote to accept that one of them.

97
00:07:24,170 --> 00:07:28,990
Well, and I'm wondering, you know, can we wait until next meeting to have it write us a little bit

98
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:34,510
for right up. I know it's not going to hold up any thing you're doing. So, this is all just come in.

99
00:07:36,070 --> 00:07:40,050
The foundation creates is actually still going through the tail.

100
00:07:41,970 --> 00:07:45,810
So I just wanted to let you know that we have won all these correct points.

101
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:49,010
What I'll bring next house over, you know, is specific.

102
00:07:52,750 --> 00:07:54,510
I just chose you to not walk in the bedroom.

103
00:07:55,210 --> 00:07:55,430
Yeah.

104
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:56,630
Yeah.

105
00:07:57,490 --> 00:07:58,950
Up and down in the...

106
00:07:58,950 --> 00:07:59,390
That's so great.

107
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Yeah.

108
00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:02,880
Yeah.

109
00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:03,140
Yeah.

110
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Yeah.

111
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Yeah.

112
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:14,680
Yeah.

113
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:16,460
Yeah.

114
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:17,100
Yeah.

115
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,380
Yeah.

116
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:18,460
Yeah.

117
00:08:19,380 --> 00:08:19,820
Yeah.

118
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:20,840
That's what it is.

119
00:08:21,140 --> 00:08:21,500
Being

120
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:46,320
up that hold, how to be sure students in middle school know about the current

121
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:54,390
and the technicalities that are within their region, so they have to do guide groups and

122
00:08:54,390 --> 00:08:55,490
we're actually worried.

123
00:08:57,510 --> 00:09:01,110
So, um, some of the things that we've been doing, you

124
00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:07,500
know, you know, um, it

125
00:09:24,810 --> 00:09:26,650
will know what

126
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:27,130
is

127
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:44,150
going to drive us.

128
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:51,600
Dan, I just made a note that as you're reinventing the wheel and everybody thinks, oh, you should

129
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,400
touch faces with an ASC because I bet you they knew this was coming before it was announced,

130
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,820
and I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, the school community association

131
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:05,240
has policy that we could put that in, then you could tweak it.

132
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,740
Absolutely. So, Julie's even was.

133
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,140
And, you know, maybe the practice of allowing

134
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:19,660
think it's the fate that must divide there when they are in the 8th grade should have never

135
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:20,120
stopped.

136
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:25,750
Julie.

137
00:10:26,350 --> 00:10:27,050
Oh, I love it.

138
00:10:27,070 --> 00:10:31,910
The other five, they're always, they're always, they're always 10th of a school since.

139
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:33,010
And they do really exist.

140
00:10:33,390 --> 00:10:33,830
Yeah, I know.

141
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:35,690
They're probably the good guess.

142
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:38,090
But you like to talk to you?

143
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:38,670
They're amazing.

144
00:10:40,390 --> 00:10:41,130
Oh, okay.

145
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,500
Yeah, you have to start saying it's a candy powder.

146
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Yeah, but there's pretty important.

147
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,040
But you're going to lose it.

148
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:57,720
So let's.

149
00:10:58,020 --> 00:10:58,200
Yeah.

150
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,060
I'm sorry, yeah, I'm sorry.

151
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,680
Any other questions?

152
00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:03,200
Oh, changes,

153
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:08,100
no more.

154
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,340
I want to think, was this in there that they,

155
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,320
that, I mean, it's just one that

156
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:17,080
it's really sad from my perspective

157
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,460
that they now can take into consideration

158
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:21,140
attendance and disciplinary.

159
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:23,500
And that can allow them to screen out kids

160
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:26,940
that, that public schools cannot do that.

161
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,520
And they're setting a different bar.

162
00:11:28,860 --> 00:11:29,840
And that's not right.

163
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,060
to me, that's discriminating, discriminating.

164
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:36,780
And then the public schools need to have resources

165
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:38,360
in order to meet those needs.

166
00:11:38,620 --> 00:11:40,180
And the tech school is done.

167
00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:41,460
It's not there.

168
00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:43,620
Well, I know Adam has a different perspective.

169
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,940
Oh, we can't hear you.

170
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,360
You can't.

171
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,100
You jump it in and out.

172
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,340
You told us last time.

173
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:54,200
You know what, let me try something,

174
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:58,060
but I think that I'm sure that you can still hear me.

175
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,340
Yeah, we can hear you.

176
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:11,860
I thoroughly disagree with you, Alan, for previous statements that, you know, we they need safety and they need good behavior on tools and equipment that are going to kill them immediately.

177
00:12:13,660 --> 00:12:16,040
So I don't agree with you on that.

178
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:23,760
I think it's a, you know, it shows that they are trying to do good in school that they're going to have better behavior.

179
00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:33,440
I mean, I think that the documentation and data that the textbook has bears that out

180
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:39,080
in terms of behavioral issues from those types of things.

181
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:41,820
You mean Adam, you mean so tell me understand.

182
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:51,300
I mean, they have data that said that a lot of the accidents or the problems that were happening

183
00:12:51,300 --> 00:13:00,470
and the shops and so forth where it could have been avoided if they were not dealing with kids of the certain...

184
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,140
Yes.

185
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:04,180
Get the rules off.

186
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,820
It's a great terminology, but it was a tear.

187
00:13:09,140 --> 00:13:11,800
So, you've got on the second round of the tear, two kids.

188
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,020
They know that those kids are commonly the ones that they're going to have problems with in school.

189
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:21,040
And they bear that out and this has been a reaction they've seen for years open.

190
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,960
But it technically did say, I don't know how well or how often to give it before, it's

191
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,600
anecdotal.

192
00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:32,040
But he knows how that works and why that's why what's the reason to do it for him.

193
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120
I found that very interesting and enlightening.

194
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,900
He explained that to Carolyn.

195
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,960
Yeah, that is, that's a, that's a valid point.

196
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:43,700
Yeah.

197
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:44,320
Yes.

198
00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:53,340
All sides of it, but I see the safety aspect of kids that are going to do that type of trade

199
00:13:54,090 --> 00:13:56,620
to be more important to me.

200
00:13:57,020 --> 00:14:01,220
And you know, you know, if you have a disciplinary problem, you have to have more people in those

201
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:01,560
shops.

202
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:05,980
And then you start running out of finances to have a little additional grace.

203
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,100
You can't trust the kids in there if you think about it.

204
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,020
I have a question about the application process.

205
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Is there any part that has the principle of the school

206
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,300
or another person in the school saying something

207
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:23,240
about that student?

208
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,260
You know, I mentioned the Washington recommendation

209
00:14:29,260 --> 00:14:31,000
that was explaining.

210
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:33,500
At least that's what it was.

211
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,040
I don't know what the new criteria has to be,

212
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:37,180
but the law changed.

213
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:37,800
I

214
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,720
don't know if there's anyone speaking on or not.

215
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:43,880
No.

216
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,420
They're saying that they're seeing the foods.

217
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,160
But how does the plenary record attendance

218
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,460
doesn't tell a whole story?

219
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,680
And some of those as you have probably just, you know,

220
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,980
here, would need textiles, you know?

221
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
That they've worked better there because it's more pansa. So that's my concern, but I, you know, I'm not, I hear both Adam and Alan's points is being really valid. So, you know, if there was something coming from an official of this school that they've been in, you know, saying something about them. You know, this, this, this, this child has had some disappointed problems, but they're going to

222
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:36,700
not, they're not ever unsafe about that and see, you know, their problems that you

223
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:43,080
were to do with, et cetera, you know, just to state it clearly so that they have a chance

224
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
of being admitted.

225
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,940
President, the recommendation from the guidance counselor, as well as one of them for this

226
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:57,100
year, I don't know if it's ever taken, but that part of it is, it's similar to recommendation

227
00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:09,820
I don't know that I would necessarily might not have gotten it taxable but applied based on the current criteria, too.

228
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,980
And let me turn it down.

229
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:17,040
I think at the same time, it's a tough battle.

230
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:27,800
I think what's important is that they're articulating the attendance thing that they're looking at 7th and 8th grade.

231
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:34,440
I know families that did not know that they looked at 7th grade attendance for part of the injury.

232
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:40,280
I heard parents say they wish they'd known that they would have been on their 7th grade.

233
00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:57,150
Your point is really that one because if you are having trouble forgetting the rules that they're not feeling with safety issues, and you know, you're around other things that are happening in the whole or whatever.

234
00:17:02,470 --> 00:17:17,110
Yeah, yeah, so I don't know hopefully they'll find a balance between maybe trying to drill down more of what those disciplinary issues are.

235
00:17:17,190 --> 00:17:18,270
Look at the whole picture.

236
00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:21,350
it's great that we're aware of it.

237
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:25,190
I know that's ninth grade because they're

238
00:17:25,190 --> 00:17:29,470
physically here, but you know. Well, and and Monty Tech has been doing that for

239
00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:36,790
several years so we can also look at them as like learn how it's you know

240
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:41,750
affected their student body here. Do you remember how many is it around eight? How many

241
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:46,230
these students will get if they were to take them all.

242
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:50,850
It's under 10.

243
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:53,430
That's a line.

244
00:17:53,650 --> 00:17:54,150
You know, that's on.

245
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:59,050
It also depends, right?

246
00:18:01,850 --> 00:18:08,130
It's a whatever percent of the entire

247
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:12,130
and Greek glasses, all the challenges that I don't need to walk forward.

248
00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:15,070
Yeah, yeah. No change, it can flexually.

249
00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:17,650
All right, that's all right.

250
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:22,750
So speaking of the challenges, we have some negative,

251
00:18:23,030 --> 00:18:25,730
negative, negative, one, and more challenges to all of us,

252
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,250
and I hear it.

253
00:18:29,130 --> 00:18:31,390
Yeah, I mean, we're really careful.

254
00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:35,270
We want to share the fun excuse of some systems

255
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:37,930
Let's see if this year talking to you about this thing.

256
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:40,890
You know, we had a really, really bad panel.

257
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:43,710
And on the other hand, excuse absence of this,

258
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:47,310
but when we got this number, this to eat,

259
00:18:47,610 --> 00:18:48,370
then I'll tell you,

260
00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:49,930
the addition was completely gone.

261
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:52,630
It was something like 95 seconds.

262
00:18:52,810 --> 00:18:54,530
No, but that would be, if we were all in Maine,

263
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:55,590
I got that said.

264
00:18:55,890 --> 00:18:57,350
I was like, there's no way.

265
00:18:59,010 --> 00:19:01,790
Anyway, we got really down in

266
00:19:01,790 --> 00:19:08,750
to a quality student's work or what was going on and it's, you know, it's completely not

267
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:13,030
I remember that I'm comfortable with, well, up a loop.

268
00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:19,190
But the kids are junior, can farmers who legally don't have to be as hopeful

269
00:19:19,790 --> 00:19:23,450
there, or there's a student on those two I've served you.

270
00:19:23,770 --> 00:19:30,610
There was another student on those two's father had been very sick, but, you know, those kids

271
00:19:30,610 --> 00:19:39,470
I sort of put it right here, but, you know, there's a sign that they can't handle a kid, it's, you know, it really

272
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:47,310
were chronically absent, so I think while being seated, I have a policy for you to vote, which will be great,

273
00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:49,350
You can all please do this first, see if there

274
00:19:51,650 --> 00:19:53,090
is a lot in the bottom line.

275
00:19:54,350 --> 00:19:54,490
Oh.

276
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:05,070
Oh.

277
00:20:05,310 --> 00:20:05,950
Oh yeah.

278
00:20:06,150 --> 00:20:06,450
Right here.

279
00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:09,610
So I'm going to see it.

280
00:20:09,730 --> 00:20:10,270
That's ready.

281
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:10,770
Wow.

282
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:11,650
Oh.

283
00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:11,910
Oh.

284
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:12,390
Beautiful.

285
00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:13,850
Beautiful.

286
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:15,370
The two.

287
00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:16,650
For the kids.

288
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:19,430
You know, you feel comfortable.

289
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:20,350
You can serve.

290
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:21,610
In front of it.

291
00:20:21,730 --> 00:20:22,290
It's just all just.

292
00:20:22,550 --> 00:20:22,930
Yeah.

293
00:20:24,530 --> 00:20:26,870
Is there any way I've been not being counted?

294
00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:28,510
And it wasn't seen.

295
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:29,650
And it wasn't seen.

296
00:20:29,790 --> 00:20:30,510
And they said,

297
00:20:31,650 --> 00:20:33,670
Hey, hey, hey.

298
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:35,810
He's from all the families coming through.

299
00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:38,830
So I talked about the importance of attendance.

300
00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:41,210
Before we play in our new sliders,

301
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:43,790
I talked to the faculty and that,

302
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:46,930
but up to two Friday in six.

303
00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:47,550
I was,

304
00:20:47,770 --> 00:20:49,870
what is this for?

305
00:20:50,030 --> 00:20:51,010
I'm going to put it in the

306
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:52,770
family and have a real

307
00:20:52,770 --> 00:21:03,600
I was thinking about it during district-wide couples, getting it through yourself, getting it through

308
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:13,300
them, and we had this new data dashboard called Bob, and I wanted to show you one of the

309
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:20,400
meetings that actually showed him the attendance, so whenever we were reviewing all the data

310
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,020
students will be able to see us get home.

311
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:30,140
One, we have a new procedure, so when there's two

312
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:36,100
unexcused absences, see if they will have a meeting with the family, see what we can do to be

313
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:43,820
support for them bringing them kids. And if it happens, it can't so far. Before I'm excused absences,

314
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,220
then I'll be able to do

315
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:54,910
this very widely. Usually I wouldn't bring all of the procedures to school kind of

316
00:21:54,910 --> 00:22:01,230
being, but I would be interested to know if you have any additional suggestions to what

317
00:22:01,230 --> 00:22:02,510
you've already been doing.

318
00:22:03,070 --> 00:22:10,490
So our practice is if a kid doesn't show up, right, just calls the home to make sure for

319
00:22:10,490 --> 00:22:14,230
safety purposes that you can get on bus or respect them here.

320
00:22:15,070 --> 00:22:19,710
And then the parent, oh yeah, I know their home comes in.

321
00:22:20,350 --> 00:22:24,890
And if there's no answer, she keeps, she, she always finds out.

322
00:22:24,890 --> 00:22:43,630
Okay, all right. So, so, and that can be chronic, you know, there's time. So, I don't know about municipal districts, but I know that I'm usually a district will have a true officer.

323
00:22:43,630 --> 00:22:46,250
or I'll call it off, there are a or a true,

324
00:22:46,450 --> 00:22:47,730
it doesn't have to be a police officer,

325
00:22:47,890 --> 00:22:50,350
could be anyone that the community designates

326
00:22:50,350 --> 00:22:52,770
to be a political constituency.

327
00:22:55,070 --> 00:22:59,430
And, there's a process that you get the chance petition

328
00:23:00,490 --> 00:23:05,630
is if you report it to a court, you know, for 2-1-C

329
00:23:06,590 --> 00:23:08,330
and then taking it involves.

330
00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:10,570
So those are the big stick things that sound like,

331
00:23:10,570 --> 00:23:12,910
We don't want to do that, and of course you don't.

332
00:23:13,010 --> 00:23:13,490
I do.

333
00:23:15,530 --> 00:23:16,410
I do.

334
00:23:16,910 --> 00:23:17,210
I do.

335
00:23:17,210 --> 00:23:17,250
I do.

336
00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:26,410
So I think that if maybe parents know we're trying to work with them and not go to the next

337
00:23:26,410 --> 00:23:32,230
step and they understand that part of the process is we have an obligation because that's

338
00:23:33,190 --> 00:23:39,490
it has to do with a child care issue that the parents are can be accountable for.

339
00:23:39,490 --> 00:23:53,190
So if maybe if they know that there's a reason we're really trying to work with them because we don't want to know and maybe they don't know that there are consequences beyond this they just can't really like keeping them home.

340
00:23:53,630 --> 00:24:07,710
So that's one thing if I want to think about in a policy or something that you know our procedure we put a lot of emphasis on working with families if we're not successful yet.

341
00:24:07,710 --> 00:24:10,030
I know what the big picture is.

342
00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:15,590
And I would also mention that the state is monitoring us, monitoring her child, not just

343
00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:16,190
her school.

344
00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:21,350
So they know that this bigger picture, it's not with school being with school.

345
00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:26,510
It's a school doing its job, but also being a colleague at the state, you look more efficiently

346
00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:29,550
and more required by the state.

347
00:24:30,270 --> 00:24:30,810
That's a very good point.

348
00:24:32,550 --> 00:24:44,510
Maybe if it were written up gently in a newsletter and then through families that abuse you need to focus on the well, but otherwise there might be a clearer picture that says this is this part and this is the whole thing.

349
00:24:44,990 --> 00:24:47,130
And that could be even the state or the camera.

350
00:24:47,410 --> 00:24:49,630
Yeah, some of them I already have contact.

351
00:24:49,630 --> 00:24:50,670
They're not all additional.

352
00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:53,510
So what I don't know because I've been out for a while.

353
00:24:53,510 --> 00:25:00,290
Should we, should this, who can we be appointing a true end officer?

354
00:25:00,610 --> 00:25:03,970
We could be that title, but I'm wondering if we were supposed to do that.

355
00:25:04,170 --> 00:25:08,010
And we just didn't do it along the way with all the things we were trying to do.

356
00:25:08,350 --> 00:25:09,510
Did you not just answer?

357
00:25:11,530 --> 00:25:13,550
Because I had to be strong.

358
00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:15,130
And but I don't know.

359
00:25:15,890 --> 00:25:16,290
Research.

360
00:25:16,290 --> 00:25:23,910
ourselves. It feels like pointed to this. Yeah, we need to surf thing. And you know, we're starting to

361
00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:32,910
so to me, if there's anything we could, we're trying to talk to him. That might be part of a fallacy.

362
00:25:33,210 --> 00:25:38,850
Yeah. And we return it all to something that you see what a good Paul. And he may or may not want to have.

363
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:46,110
But I think it's sort of a gentle conversation you have to have. I think, you know, when you put

364
00:25:46,110 --> 00:25:56,170
in writing it, it's can sound, it's scripting and it has to be, I think we have to ask.

365
00:25:56,910 --> 00:26:01,150
Well, by the thought of either your principal or if you have any

366
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:06,090
appointment school with person like Apple would have a middle school secretary

367
00:26:06,810 --> 00:26:11,210
who was the phone officer. So I know I can be designated, I don't know enough about

368
00:26:11,210 --> 00:26:17,490
beyond that, but I know that that hell got away from me, the police doing it. And to the point

369
00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:22,630
of the person doing it, because the state, it was driven by the states pushing them so hard,

370
00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:27,770
and I hand to the chronic families. And, you know, that right. So right now you've got somebody

371
00:26:27,770 --> 00:26:31,950
doing it, but you may want to do something. They may not be the police that may be a testimony.

372
00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:37,690
I'm thinking of someone as a committee. It's sort of like Justin's digging it, right. But as a committee,

373
00:26:38,490 --> 00:26:44,150
I think he's just the pro out of it actually appoints someone so they are doing their job.

374
00:26:44,410 --> 00:26:54,110
You know, we've appointed them to do this job and that's why they're making a follow-up because you've given them that responsibility.

375
00:26:54,930 --> 00:27:00,530
And without it, it's unless we have written that in some of his jobs description, we should be...

376
00:27:00,530 --> 00:27:10,450
not. And we versus Carol designated. There's a reason that you think that this needs to be coming

377
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:18,210
from the school committee, even though we usually don't involve ourselves in procedures so

378
00:27:18,210 --> 00:27:25,930
respect. But this is like a policy piece. Like we have a school specialist here, we have a

379
00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:33,830
doctor and those we have. Yeah, there are certain specific things that do. Yeah, so it looks like

380
00:27:33,830 --> 00:27:39,630
you're a job element. That's not what I was throwing out there. So the other piece of this is as

381
00:27:39,630 --> 00:27:44,590
you know, as you know, and you know, and other people may not, it factors into your

382
00:27:44,590 --> 00:27:50,810
proficiency for your school in a warehouse. And it's a much bigger factor now than it was eight years ago.

383
00:27:50,810 --> 00:28:03,430
They started including several of these instances of categories, the wellness of the school and the survey of the kids, so it's those key families that are all the time they're looking to chase down and they put the honors on the schools.

384
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:14,210
And I just want to, when I read, I think we need to be paying attention more to numbers than percentages.

385
00:28:14,810 --> 00:28:19,050
because we can have small numbers, you have 3% or so.

386
00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:26,210
Three kids, 42% of your population, it sounds like,

387
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:30,070
if you don't know that, you have to get this big school system that has

388
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:33,090
42% of the population, it's 6% or so.

389
00:28:33,950 --> 00:28:37,450
So I think when you give that report or you talk about it,

390
00:28:37,830 --> 00:28:40,790
I think it will be helpful if you include these numbers.

391
00:28:43,490 --> 00:28:51,650
And you probably know, and I know in the world, and it was one of the two families that made up 80% to 90% of the numbers that were getting reported.

392
00:28:52,450 --> 00:28:56,670
And, you know, and it was across all grades because they had multiple students in the school.

393
00:28:56,970 --> 00:28:57,370
So, yeah.

394
00:28:57,790 --> 00:28:58,690
I agree with that.

395
00:28:58,810 --> 00:28:59,750
The numbers are a thousand.

396
00:28:59,750 --> 00:29:01,030
Boy, you need real estate seats.

397
00:29:03,550 --> 00:29:04,670
Good luck with that one.

398
00:29:06,430 --> 00:29:11,630
You're really into this, though, I can see the force, the officer, to be showing up on the door.

399
00:29:12,270 --> 00:29:18,030
In that vein, we do have an attendance policy for first reading.

400
00:29:19,470 --> 00:29:20,670
Yes, we do, okay.

401
00:29:22,830 --> 00:29:27,610
So we don't want to vote on it, but I think that we should.

402
00:29:27,610 --> 00:29:33,410
Good segue to look at that now at this point. I don't know if anybody has had a chance to look at it, but

403
00:29:33,910 --> 00:29:44,100
Well, we got on the key to the way. No, but the first reading. I don't remember. Does anybody else or do we have

404
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:53,160
We are just recognizing you just seeing if there's any questions. Yeah, no, I need a bunch of little comments and things that want to read

405
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,180
or something else.

406
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,480
All right, great.

407
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,180
What about that?

408
00:29:57,260 --> 00:29:59,860
Is there anything else in your report that you think would make sense to it?

409
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,960
Second now.

410
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:09,340
No, well, you're looking far off on your mic conversation. On Monday was conversation

411
00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:15,620
about a large tree. It's one of them on what is the western side of the playground. In the

412
00:30:15,620 --> 00:30:22,660
words, we have a established nature study for the young children. And for that, I feel we're

413
00:30:22,660 --> 00:30:26,880
developing the stay-ons with property that a large old tree fell down and pretty much

414
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,300
and developed that whole area. I talked to David. I've got a follow-up. I've already had a

415
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:38,860
missile call with the town's food service conduct. Look at that panel for safety. It should

416
00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:43,600
have. It's not only in the way of it, but there are branches everywhere that both side of the

417
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,740
forest would have to. It's a nice spot to look. It's a certain, it's already been set up on one.

418
00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:51,480
So they're going to go and look at it, try to remove it and make it safer. It's not to remove

419
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,720
the whole tree. It's not to drag it out of the forest. It's simply to take it down. So when

420
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,940
following branches and things are not at risk for the kids. And then we may just close off

421
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:04,900
some of the parenting, if I open up the trail and something. So I'm giving my card or something.

422
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,540
You've had two or three things. Good thing is, at some point you want to bring it up,

423
00:31:08,780 --> 00:31:12,660
because it's more of your realm than mine. And I'll put it up for the select board as well,

424
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:21,660
as the playroom. That's okay. I know you're here for something else, but I just

425
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,580
Well, Julie, you're here for six down discussion.

426
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,420
Yeah, I just want to figure out what the school committee is thinking.

427
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:32,360
Okay, at this point.

428
00:31:32,540 --> 00:31:35,600
So what I would like to do is at least give a part of my report,

429
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,980
because you know, the section that we've got here,

430
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,020
I've got a spot for the report.

431
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,180
Allen has a spot for the six down planning committee.

432
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,880
And I think then at that point, if everybody agrees,

433
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:49,940
we can then move on to our discussion about the six down regional plan.

434
00:31:49,940 --> 00:31:52,540
and if it makes sense to put those things together.

435
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:54,620
Can I ask what your last name is?

436
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:58,560
So I can send it to the CDE or A and B.

437
00:31:59,180 --> 00:32:00,480
What can you say, A and C?

438
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,260
Okay, you can get it.

439
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:03,860
And I know that.

440
00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:07,620
So I had tried to take a page,

441
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,920
I had a Peril's book and start writing something up.

442
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,780
I ended up not finishing it, but when I put it up here,

443
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,560
let's do a lot of stuff for myself.

444
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,220
So really, I just had three things that I was going to report on.

445
00:32:24,580 --> 00:32:28,220
The biggest of which was the Mahar School Committee meeting.

446
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:32,540
And the reason I want to bring this up is I think it in part of also posting context.

447
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,700
What our kids are doing now for high school.

448
00:32:36,260 --> 00:32:38,200
I think that kind of feeds our next discussion.

449
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:43,460
So I went to my first Mahar Regional School Committee meeting.

450
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:46,540
Certainly over this meeting in our next meeting,

451
00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:50,640
with a really designated representative where a couple to go, but I was able to document

452
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,780
on their next dates are.

453
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:54,980
I was impressed.

454
00:32:55,900 --> 00:32:59,800
They spent a lot of time talking about different aspects of the school and start-ups at the

455
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,160
beginning of the school year.

456
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,440
One of the things that impressed me was the extent to which they focus on supporting new

457
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,560
staff as well as new students.

458
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:16,400
So students that are coming in new, they do have, you know, they work with them ahead

459
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,280
at a time, particularly kids who need extra support,

460
00:33:19,620 --> 00:33:22,280
they made sure they went over the summer as well.

461
00:33:22,740 --> 00:33:24,780
They have a process where they're mentoring

462
00:33:24,780 --> 00:33:25,900
and bringing in new staff.

463
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:28,800
They have an outdoor classroom space

464
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,160
that they have a ribbon-cutting next month.

465
00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:39,720
I think they briefly talked about their regional agreement,

466
00:33:39,940 --> 00:33:43,560
but they've got some short things they were changing.

467
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:51,200
They're agreement or was it their question about their region or in orange? Okay, there's so the mahar regional agreement, but

468
00:33:53,740 --> 00:34:00,180
They are going to start an early childhood program at some point over the next few months because they just had some space open up

469
00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:06,800
And they're going to combine that with the school so they're going to handle part of their programs running that

470
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:12,180
Of course, I had a discussion but it was there for their meeting. It was a conflict with this one

471
00:34:12,180 --> 00:34:19,620
I am. Um, the, um, they're going to have a, run as a high school program because they want to fill in their own childhood.

472
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,140
So they'll be supervised to help us.

473
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:23,360
I mean, it's fantastic.

474
00:34:24,140 --> 00:34:27,200
So I mean, school should be doing some of that. So I just want to.

475
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,560
And then he may already know this, but new sale.

476
00:34:30,740 --> 00:34:33,340
Because they did a presentation from their elementary schools.

477
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,180
A lot is using ukulele as well.

478
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,200
Just a lot.

479
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,360
Using what ukulele is teaching ukulele.

480
00:34:39,580 --> 00:34:42,300
So if any doesn't know that she might be interested.

481
00:34:44,420 --> 00:34:45,120
Thanks.

482
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:49,100
And then earlier today we had a.

483
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,380
First of probably monthly meetings just talking about school town finances and just some of the mechanisms of.

484
00:34:57,580 --> 00:35:00,100
That overlap both financial systems.

485
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:08,640
A reminder of the DMASC conference is coming up in November and there's training on the table

486
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,200
for some folks.

487
00:35:10,260 --> 00:35:14,780
And then I expect most of my time sort of trying to outline my thoughts about the

488
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:15,160
six-town.

489
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:21,540
So I'm going to take just a few minutes to start, I'll pass the baton to Alan and know

490
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:22,500
if I'll have the extension.

491
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:34,160
So November 15 seems to be the date that we're settling around for a town vote related to the six town regional planning board.

492
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,040
What date was that?

493
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,120
November 15.

494
00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:40,280
It is a Saturday, which is unusual, but I haven't counted correctly if I'm wrong.

495
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,880
And I think there's still hope that a lot of the same, a lot of the towns we've all known the same day.

496
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:54,540
Okay? That vote will be specifically about the regional agreement. That's what the towns

497
00:35:54,540 --> 00:35:59,720
have input on is either to accept that regional agreement and form the region or not.

498
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:08,340
So there are things in the regional agreement and I do have a draft copy but I haven't shared

499
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:12,660
a widely yet because I don't know if select boards have gotten it and does he has it doesn't

500
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:21,460
that something but you know in the next week or so I can share those it includes things like

501
00:36:21,460 --> 00:36:27,860
the school committee makeup which is really crucial because in my mind a vote for this means a vote

502
00:36:27,860 --> 00:36:34,680
for a totally fresh start for all three districts and it's funny because you know if you look

503
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,060
the recorder article, they constantly forget to mention that Warwick is actually its own district.

504
00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:45,340
I think in part because we're so small and in part because so much of the information was gathered

505
00:36:45,340 --> 00:36:52,160
before we were our own district. This has been an ongoing process since 2018. You know, when you

506
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:59,160
look at the website studies are all from 2021 to 2023. So I think part of it is because it's

507
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:05,740
the part of it is because we're small, but it would mean all three districts would no longer exist

508
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,180
and it would be very much a fresh start and all the components of that fresh start

509
00:37:11,180 --> 00:37:16,820
would be designed by the new school committee. There would be a 13-member school committee

510
00:37:16,820 --> 00:37:22,800
with representation based on how many kids folks have, so Monica would have five,

511
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:30,080
If you would have two representatives, yes, if you would have two representatives, Bernstein

512
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:39,200
would have two layman would have one, and then we would have one in Montagueau's five.

513
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,520
Montagueau has five, Northfield would have two.

514
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:48,160
So actually Northfield and Bernstein together would have fewer representatives than Montagueau

515
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:48,440
would have.

516
00:37:48,780 --> 00:37:50,660
And we would just have one out of the 13.

517
00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:55,480
Now, in theory, that shouldn't matter because everybody's pulling for the good of the district,

518
00:37:56,860 --> 00:38:03,280
but the truth is, those school committee members are picked by town for a reason.

519
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,640
It's not like everybody runs and everything's done at large.

520
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,820
And if it just happens to be the most talented people for the school committee are all from warwick,

521
00:38:11,940 --> 00:38:13,420
that all 13 would be from warwick.

522
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,400
No, it doesn't work that way.

523
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,880
People are designated from towns.

524
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,660
And I think that it's really telling that we're going to have one of the 13.

525
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,040
Telling what?

526
00:38:23,980 --> 00:38:28,640
I think it's just, I think it's a reminder to us that how small we would be.

527
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:36,100
And where different school committee members' focuses and backgrounds would be.

528
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,240
They would not be in work for 12 out of 13.

529
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:44,340
It wouldn't be for more work and for 11 out of the 13.

530
00:38:44,340 --> 00:38:47,360
it would be from towns that are much larger than one.

531
00:38:50,020 --> 00:38:55,560
So warwick, all of the elementary schools would be designated at least initially to

532
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:01,120
stay open with specific reasons about how they would be closed except sixth grade.

533
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,380
Sixth grade would go to the middle school, so warwick community would lose sixth grade.

534
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,160
There's very little about what would happen with the elementary students, I think I mentioned

535
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,860
this in my right up. There's a couple of lines and a couple of lines say that it would be important

536
00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:20,040
for the entire district to have a unified curriculum.

537
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,580
So the new district, the curriculum,

538
00:39:28,380 --> 00:39:35,660
the all of the staff contracts, you know, all the working conditions would all be designed from the

539
00:39:35,660 --> 00:39:39,000
around up by the new 13 member committee.

540
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:46,360
So you're going to tell at this point what my perspective is, because my contrast is

541
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:52,000
our current access, currently what we've got is we've got our elementary school, we've

542
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:59,620
got some creative ways of attracting staff to a geographically distant school that we

543
00:39:59,620 --> 00:40:05,940
We wouldn't have the same level of control that would be, you know, how things of how

544
00:40:05,940 --> 00:40:07,980
books are higher would then go to the Library of School Committee.

545
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,920
We currently have access to my Mar and Pioneer in addition to four Rivers and Franklin County

546
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,140
Tech.

547
00:40:17,530 --> 00:40:24,250
Some other differences about World Warwick and particularly the finances, and this is a

548
00:40:24,250 --> 00:40:28,050
heads up for everybody here, so this is a message we really need to get out there, is that

549
00:40:28,050 --> 00:40:34,710
What it would mean for warwick in terms of what we pay as a town for education, that has not been studied.

550
00:40:35,430 --> 00:40:43,590
There are a couple of places and I thought Alan and David did a fantastic job in the part of the meeting that I was watching at trying to correct it,

551
00:40:44,010 --> 00:40:49,770
but in part because the studies are old and in part because the consultants just aren't thinking this way.

552
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:55,550
They didn't look at the fact that warwick is funded as a municipal district, as opposed to a regional district.

553
00:40:55,550 --> 00:40:59,430
So how our money works is different.

554
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:09,130
So the couple of places where I've seen reported that Warwick's assessment for education would do this is incorrect.

555
00:41:10,630 --> 00:41:12,570
It's totally wrong. Nobody's looked.

556
00:41:14,590 --> 00:41:16,670
You want me to respond to that as you go?

557
00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:20,050
Because I'm going to have you go back to the beginning after an address.

558
00:41:20,050 --> 00:41:30,610
Just when that was points. That's that's why the nation is old or not accurate. So yeah, so and they only know the thing I mean our high schoolers we have a longer bus ride but

559
00:41:32,010 --> 00:41:42,970
They go to the tax school. Yeah, probably shorter than the tax school longer than you know and actually the short the shortest distance for our families because I think that's the other points you know.

560
00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:52,570
Yeah, yeah, my eyes look just Google Maps is my heart is 16 to 18 minutes away. My pioneer is 19 minutes away and turners is 30 to 32 minutes away.

561
00:41:52,970 --> 00:42:03,230
And that was me in the world looking in terms of if families are trying to go to events at the school or work with, you know, connecting kids that met each other at school.

562
00:42:03,890 --> 00:42:08,610
well that's that's essentially the little master. It's extra far from my house I

563
00:42:08,610 --> 00:42:14,950
like. Well I don't have any. I have any in middle schoolers. I went from town

564
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:18,870
college. No I didn't. It's not close to me.

565
00:42:20,310 --> 00:42:25,590
They're in China. They're the New England time way. So Alan has a different perspective.

566
00:42:25,950 --> 00:42:30,490
Yeah so I do want to you know bad help go through the spot. Did you find just I saw

567
00:42:30,490 --> 00:42:35,650
somewhere it said that you're looking at a new report. Is there a new

568
00:42:35,650 --> 00:42:40,010
transportation report? There is a question. There was a green mentioned in your

569
00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:45,730
meeting and I think the one that was online is actually the second one. Yeah so

570
00:42:45,730 --> 00:42:50,730
the third one is out yet. So what happened on the transportation is we put

571
00:42:50,730 --> 00:42:55,210
a thing out to you know a bid to look at transportation and it was then by

572
00:42:57,230 --> 00:43:15,650
I mean, they're just a national company and so all they did was look at where all the buses go and came up with a ridiculous report that I remember that was like you need nine buses for eight or until you know, it was like, what are they talking about.

573
00:43:16,430 --> 00:43:25,790
So when I read that, and to both of the reports, I showed Roots go how old the place, I called Pam, and I said,

574
00:43:26,310 --> 00:43:31,830
did you see that report? And she kind of laughed, but she said, yeah, she said, I don't think they have a...

575
00:43:31,830 --> 00:43:32,730
Did anyone contact?

576
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:39,490
Yeah, yeah, she had a clue about this. I said, so, how do you feel about we do another report?

577
00:43:39,490 --> 00:43:44,410
but you, being knowing all our roots and everything,

578
00:43:44,990 --> 00:43:46,790
you have some input into that.

579
00:43:47,570 --> 00:43:51,430
And so she was worked with a trans finder

580
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:52,750
to do the second report.

581
00:43:53,130 --> 00:43:56,990
And that's the one that understood

582
00:43:56,990 --> 00:43:58,870
that you could have a bus come

583
00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:01,450
and the kids could get off, you know,

584
00:44:01,510 --> 00:44:04,190
partway through when they could get them all off,

585
00:44:04,310 --> 00:44:06,750
you know, they can't throw out the different buses.

586
00:44:06,750 --> 00:44:16,190
And so the drives on as long as the requirement, so she did the second report and it was we needed one or two buses. I don't remember, but that was her.

587
00:44:17,290 --> 00:44:26,410
That was the take on that and some kids would be longer, some kids would not be, but it looked like it would be about a 20 minute differential for kids.

588
00:44:26,410 --> 00:44:31,350
kids. Then it got into, you know, the high school kids and along the right, you know,

589
00:44:31,470 --> 00:44:39,070
what that would be. And there was some Steve Richter, I want to say, that somehow he

590
00:44:39,070 --> 00:44:44,610
had a real different perspective. He says, listen, I know the kids at writing, they go to

591
00:44:44,610 --> 00:44:49,650
the tech school. And this longer ride that you're talking about, the kid, this is a social

592
00:44:49,650 --> 00:44:54,890
time for the kids. Some kids sleep on the bus, some kids play games, some kids. So he said,

593
00:44:54,890 --> 00:44:59,970
He doesn't see that as an issue at all, so it just helped me to get kind of a broader perspective.

594
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:29,280
So, then I contacted, um, trends, uh, uh, travel, cause, that's a roomy, right, travel, cause, and I asked them to, if they could update to another report. And they were in the process of it was like three weeks before school started to really focus on that. And I said, well, when do you think you could get to that. And they said, sometime in November, I said, well, it would be nice to know earlier about, I get that it's going to take some time.

595
00:45:30,220 --> 00:45:35,380
So, that's the transportation piece. Now, go back to the, I'm sure, who's paying them?

596
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:36,360
Of Kim.

597
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,080
Reaple from...

598
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,200
She was a manager, she's the manager at Cosmoscus.

599
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:44,040
What company?

600
00:45:44,460 --> 00:45:44,940
Cosmoscus.

601
00:45:45,980 --> 00:45:47,360
No, she's gone. They sold it.

602
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,960
And she's gone. Do you remember her last name?

603
00:45:50,460 --> 00:45:50,900
Reaple.

604
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:51,820
How do you spell it out?

605
00:45:51,820 --> 00:45:54,380
R-E-I-P-P-O-L-D.

606
00:45:54,860 --> 00:45:55,040
Cool.

607
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,960
I just think she I think she still works for vegan but my guess is she's

608
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,560
and I retired and she's just a high energy and very positive. She's just a

609
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:09,920
delight to work on clarification. Cosmascus got sold to travel cars. Yeah well

610
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,960
they still they just read it right right right must have sold something else.

611
00:46:14,140 --> 00:46:17,600
They so they don't be sold by somebody else but they just read it. They were

612
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:24,760
taken over by vegan mobility which also on Van Bull but they're still

613
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:31,240
fairly independent. So if you walk in their office, you still see 90% of the same people, but

614
00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:38,280
I suspect it provided, since Pam's family had owned it, I suspect it gave her a chance to

615
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:44,500
sell my retire. And was the Transfinder report just supposed to be about like, what bus

616
00:46:44,500 --> 00:46:49,480
would look like for the sixth time? Yeah, I was looking at the ridership of the buses and how

617
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,540
And what buses would go where and how efficient could it be?

618
00:46:54,140 --> 00:46:55,060
Things like that.

619
00:46:55,820 --> 00:47:01,880
And what I was interested was where they're going to be adding like five buses or something, you know, doing that.

620
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,340
So I was looking at number of buses and how long would get buses?

621
00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:07,140
Well, my favorite Swiss.

622
00:47:08,460 --> 00:47:15,840
And that report that she was involved in seem to certainly didn't raise any red flags for me.

623
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:21,720
No, I think they had to add up us to some extent involving more because you'd be

624
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:25,220
set busing separately to middle school and high school and you wouldn't have the,

625
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:29,120
you wouldn't be able to share the same physical vestibular elementary high school and those.

626
00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:33,700
So I added a new twist to it because when I had,

627
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:41,500
for all the person is there now, so I think right now, Jonathan Harris.

628
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,660
No, he's sort of the head, he's about to ask.

629
00:47:48,860 --> 00:47:56,680
Yeah, well whoever the manager was working out of the Cosmascus office, and then he kicked it over to the other guy that his boss, I guess.

630
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:07,020
But when I talked to him for a little bit, he reminded me of when Transfinder was just, you know, black and white, and here's what it is.

631
00:48:07,660 --> 00:48:19,740
And he's like, well, you know, I guess it could be done, but, you know, you're going to have to have a double tear at the high school, you know, and I'm said, well, when you talk to myself, well, let's see now you have to have your middle school and high school and he started talking about that.

632
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:29,800
And he said, you know, I mean, you have to have like the kids come in like in period two, and I just said absolutely not.

633
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,040
That is not what we're trying to do.

634
00:48:32,220 --> 00:48:34,440
All kids have to be there at all the time.

635
00:48:35,020 --> 00:48:36,320
You know, so I, I, you said,

636
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,720
bus doing two routes.

637
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,020
No, he was talking about having some of the kids,

638
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:43,500
let's say, compiling here,

639
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:48,120
arriving to turn us in here and beginning of period.

640
00:48:48,740 --> 00:48:50,360
Yeah, I said, no, no, no, no.

641
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,000
So in any way, I don't know where that's going,

642
00:48:52,060 --> 00:48:53,200
but I wanted to make it clear,

643
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,360
however you figure that out,

644
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,760
everyone has to be their synch, that's,

645
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,280
So I haven't heard it yet.

646
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:01,860
So I'll just wait and see.

647
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:04,900
So in terms of the,

648
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,740
going back to your first point about the competition,

649
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:11,840
we studied like the five or six ways to have a little bit.

650
00:49:12,900 --> 00:49:15,780
And to have it elected within the town and so forth,

651
00:49:16,220 --> 00:49:18,900
most of the numbers, because a gap of a one-way and one boat,

652
00:49:19,420 --> 00:49:21,880
was the committee would be like 23 or 26.

653
00:49:22,620 --> 00:49:24,060
And so we just, you know,

654
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,760
we eventually needed that for months.

655
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:33,200
months. And we finally came up with the best way is to have district-wide elections.

656
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:42,880
Monica could have had seven, and we were very concerned of somebody being a control

657
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:51,040
of a district. They, in all this a month and a half discussion, they said, no, that's too many.

658
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:57,320
they said that and they said could five work in the model it's still so five

659
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:05,940
work so they step back and said five votes and I had in my mind 13 and what it

660
00:50:05,940 --> 00:50:13,040
would take to closest school I'm a you know folks that would be and you know

661
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:19,360
Gild has just gonna have one or two yeah two two yeah two then Gild was our friend we

662
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:24,420
had a meeting of them the other day. They had about 70 people with them. They're supporting

663
00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:31,080
at least the people that went to the meeting. But on their mind was, school can't close.

664
00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:39,300
And on their mind was, as well, boy, camp. So we had a little partnership there in terms of,

665
00:50:40,060 --> 00:50:46,260
so we had explained to Dessie, because we had pushed back in the beginning. We'll be talking about

666
00:50:46,260 --> 00:50:51,840
is that this isn't the same as an urban district where you can close a school and they just go

667
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,360
down the road, you know, a couple of miles and they're going to another elementary school.

668
00:50:55,780 --> 00:51:00,100
But this is the heart and soul of a community and you're not going to be put in kindergarten kids

669
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:04,820
or preschool kids or first grade, shipping, you know, it's setting off to another and it's just not

670
00:51:04,820 --> 00:51:12,680
acceptable. And they changed their position on what used to be pretty strong and it became okay,

671
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,720
well, how would you do it? That's what you talk about, this is what you said,

672
00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:23,460
and how I feel about it. So in that process, I was thinking of what kind of

673
00:51:23,460 --> 00:51:27,540
folks would get required to do things like that, and we decided

674
00:51:27,540 --> 00:51:31,780
it had to be a super majority. They had a thing we'd have to have 10 members

675
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,960
both on something that's life-fast. So it's a very kind of selection.

676
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,020
So I think I'm back in when we talked about that aspect. So that was the

677
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:52,640
The issue was, I got more comfortable for the players because it's hard for me and I'm

678
00:51:52,640 --> 00:52:00,680
trying not to do this to be angry with the towns in Pioneer wanting to close our school

679
00:52:01,260 --> 00:52:06,860
because the select boards at the time, they took a position in my whole house.

680
00:52:07,460 --> 00:52:07,820
Yeah.

681
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:09,120
Select force supported.

682
00:52:09,580 --> 00:52:09,720
Yeah.

683
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:11,340
Is that a committee and supposing us?

684
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:11,540
Yeah.

685
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:11,920
Which.

686
00:52:12,340 --> 00:52:12,980
Not really.

687
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:13,840
No more work.

688
00:52:13,940 --> 00:52:14,600
But the other town.

689
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:15,440
The other town.

690
00:52:15,740 --> 00:52:15,880
Yeah.

691
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:16,320
Yeah.

692
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:16,640
Yeah.

693
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:17,040
Yeah.

694
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:17,200
Yeah.

695
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:17,320
Yeah.

696
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:17,720
Yeah.

697
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:18,060
Yeah.

698
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:18,300
Yeah.

699
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:18,680
Yeah.

700
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:19,000
Yeah.

701
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:25,040
I don't know what it feels, but before I started seeing it, I thought, well, the line wasn't

702
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:25,200
that.

703
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:30,760
Well, they were all, but the line was, they closed you up to close.

704
00:52:31,060 --> 00:52:32,120
They were, that was their attitude.

705
00:52:32,260 --> 00:52:33,820
So, yeah, you close that.

706
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:34,760
I have to close.

707
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:41,520
I have to take my emotion out of that, because I do have to say, but at the same time, I think

708
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,980
it's important to realize that that can happen, and then to put out,

709
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,460
yeah, more comfortable.

710
00:52:47,460 --> 00:52:48,540
And more comfortable.

711
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:55,960
with the number so who's who's our fourth then if we have one and nails two who's the fourth

712
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:04,040
who's not going to vote us to close go no that's two so I get us up to three yeah it's a very

713
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:11,320
good question right well no I want to go to the next point a little bit it's on the same point

714
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:17,580
no but I have to what yeah so what was your other what was your list there because I just want to

715
00:53:17,580 --> 00:53:22,400
I'm correct a couple of these that I wanted to listen to, not into them, because I wanted

716
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,120
to hear them.

717
00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:30,800
So, yeah, I have a, he should I have, no, I've got to hold it a little, sorry, but let me

718
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:31,120
forget.

719
00:53:32,500 --> 00:53:33,280
Let's finish listening.

720
00:53:34,460 --> 00:53:39,060
Well, really, what I want to do is I want to hear what everybody has to say, but I feel

721
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:43,880
very strongly that what we need to be talking about is whether it makes sense for Warwick

722
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:56,900
to start all over again, because it would be a totally fresh start, and it would be a fresh start designed by a school committee of 13 from a bunch of different tells.

723
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:06,320
And I want to know what that type of education, K through 12, how that compares to what we're doing then, K through 6,

724
00:54:07,380 --> 00:54:12,920
and with access to MAHAR, perhaps pioneering because our access to pioneering

725
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:17,500
past this year is still an open question that's got a couple of different elements to it.

726
00:54:18,020 --> 00:54:23,140
So MAHAR, Franklin County Tech, and for the parents that want to transport

727
00:54:23,140 --> 00:54:31,140
further and have access to an option, I want to know why we would need to vote that way.

728
00:54:31,540 --> 00:54:34,480
Sorry, I have a clear fan question. If we were part of the six-time regional,

729
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,400
So we would still, Franklin Tech would still be an option for it.

730
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:39,760
Yeah.

731
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:40,360
Yeah.

732
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,220
So.

733
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:44,640
You know, answer for.

734
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,640
Is there more that you need a corrective?

735
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:47,940
Yeah.

736
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,740
There's there were a number of things that you said that weren't accurate.

737
00:54:51,980 --> 00:54:52,420
I just went.

738
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:53,300
You should have written.

739
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:55,580
No, but I would have had to keep interrupting her.

740
00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:56,880
And I really want her to see.

741
00:54:57,020 --> 00:54:58,320
Well, I.

742
00:54:58,480 --> 00:54:59,680
So, I mean, I have some notes.

743
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,220
One of them is.

744
00:55:01,220 --> 00:55:04,440
is like we'd have to, the schools would build the policies

745
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,380
from the ground up, or what sixth grade would be moved

746
00:55:08,380 --> 00:55:09,140
to the middle school.

747
00:55:09,900 --> 00:55:12,960
The district would have a unified curriculum.

748
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:17,620
Yeah, I don't know if that,

749
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,780
there's been one of the reasons

750
00:55:19,780 --> 00:55:25,040
that, so first of all, yes, school committee has a saying

751
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,820
of those, the idea was to blend the,

752
00:55:28,820 --> 00:55:35,080
We take the talents of the teachers and the professionals, creating the art and soul

753
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,560
of the ideas.

754
00:55:37,140 --> 00:55:43,500
The reason we didn't focus on the elementary, we did our research was we felt that each

755
00:55:43,500 --> 00:55:50,240
elementary school was unique and needed to stay unique, and that they were doing really

756
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,100
special things.

757
00:55:51,460 --> 00:55:56,980
At last, in the Monday night, I got a really eye-opener about what's happening and they're doing

758
00:55:56,980 --> 00:55:57,900
a lot of things.

759
00:55:57,900 --> 00:56:04,480
plan, but seniors. And yeah, so, you know, if I didn't know where I was, I could have thought

760
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,100
that they were, that I was sitting in whoa, but kind of some of the things that they were doing. So,

761
00:56:08,740 --> 00:56:16,040
they are, so the strength of a district is having that uniqueness at the elementary schools.

762
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:24,200
And, um, and the draw here is, I didn't like, said it many times, this is a goal line in terms of,

763
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,560
I think a lot of parents are going to want to come here and have a pathway to continue

764
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,280
in a little substantial regional.

765
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,780
So that's not how is that baked into date?

766
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,420
We're only voting on a regional agreement, so I was at least into the original agreement.

767
00:56:42,140 --> 00:56:44,440
I didn't see that and I didn't see that.

768
00:56:44,780 --> 00:56:51,560
I'm really happy to hear you say that because in reading through some of this stuff, alignment,

769
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,760
the word alignment.

770
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,560
Yeah, learning, teaching learning will be a line.

771
00:56:57,660 --> 00:56:58,520
Wait, wait a minute.

772
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:01,960
That was, you're talking about the elementary school level,

773
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,000
this is not, no, and that's what we want.

774
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,060
That's what we don't want.

775
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,600
And so that, we've got two people.

776
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:08,260
Yeah, okay.

777
00:57:08,700 --> 00:57:11,240
That was Mars making a living in each other.

778
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:12,440
Okay, okay.

779
00:57:13,180 --> 00:57:16,560
But that's the biggest thing I guess I was going to point out

780
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,020
is your statement about the assessments you want.

781
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:20,720
It's not accurate.

782
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,580
We had, well, I don't think all of it

783
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:27,880
And I threw it like it's it's true that it was that like a lot, you know, like,

784
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:33,420
I was reading when it was 2021 was like when a lot of us from and I, you know,

785
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,880
I kept reading about Gilmanigu and about Pioneer and I was like, where's Warwick?

786
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,440
And, you know, like, where's Warwick?

787
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:42,500
Because Warwick was part of that. So we had to say.

788
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:45,500
I know. Right. So we don't so we don't have that information.

789
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,240
And when when we backed out at that reading chapter 70 numbers and then we looked at that,

790
00:57:53,860 --> 00:58:00,580
I kept struggling with what do we miss it, because this didn't make sense to me.

791
00:58:01,300 --> 00:58:08,940
And I finally had the epiphany that we weren't capturing our open obligations, which is $157,000.

792
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,380
It's a very complicated picture, and I'm not saying that it's-

793
00:58:12,380 --> 00:58:13,440
That's a very complicated picture.

794
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,740
We've got two other folks though. I don't want to leave these two guys.

795
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,700
All right, so the assessment right now would have been-

796
00:58:18,700 --> 00:58:22,960
would be 293,000 degrees for a minus 19%.

797
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,640
That's what would be.

798
00:58:25,020 --> 00:58:26,240
I would love to see if that's the right thing.

799
00:58:26,540 --> 00:58:28,800
Yeah, it's, it's, it's the right thing that's for you.

800
00:58:29,420 --> 00:58:32,020
So I know, I know we've had a couple of things

801
00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:35,240
going on here with us waiting to do things.

802
00:58:35,580 --> 00:58:37,560
I'm just gonna give a quick thing and so I,

803
00:58:37,660 --> 00:58:39,400
one of the ways I was concerned about my last thing

804
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,760
is I don't get a little duration,

805
00:58:40,940 --> 00:58:43,200
but I worked in, and we're also now at all.

806
00:58:43,660 --> 00:58:45,800
And when Mr. Kelly left, we're also in was locked

807
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:46,640
pretty in the pen.

808
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,340
and that promise was made that you could do your own thing.

809
00:58:49,780 --> 00:58:51,860
New superintendent came on board,

810
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:53,860
even with the numbers only one on,

811
00:58:55,180 --> 00:58:58,800
Royalston lost out a lot of these tip-to-tap things

812
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,400
when it came to their independence

813
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,520
as a school being the wrong design and the wrong model.

814
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,040
So I watched that independence disappear

815
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,740
in the matter of about five years.

816
00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:10,640
And the things, yep.

817
00:59:11,060 --> 00:59:11,140
Sorry.

818
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,500
This is at one Royals thing coming up.

819
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:14,340
At one Royals thing.

820
00:59:14,340 --> 00:59:22,180
So, working in the rural and district where I know how strong the community there felt and they would go to battle and school committee, it was all they just won both.

821
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:23,860
We only have one vote.

822
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:33,180
The things I have concerns about is that curriculum alignment because that's going to come from the school can be driven by a superintendent and if they let me become blind, you can say whatever you want it.

823
00:59:33,260 --> 00:59:33,860
It's not right now.

824
00:59:34,300 --> 00:59:41,020
That's what that's what Mr. whatever that his name was that came after Kelly, Mr. Polito said not in there doesn't matter.

825
00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:45,060
I don't know, it doesn't have different superintendents, I'm not superintendents now, it doesn't

826
00:59:45,060 --> 00:59:45,280
matter.

827
00:59:45,900 --> 00:59:49,300
So I watched the school list, it's controlled over its curriculum, which was very effective

828
00:59:49,300 --> 00:59:50,020
in doing well.

829
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:55,080
I've watched any input on the school choice that I went to the school committee as well.

830
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,840
What was open for school choice, what wasn't, what terms that we were going to look for.

831
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,780
And they sent a lot of speech in district to the school when they were having a global crowd of the problems. The town of the world, some of us say of that. Status items. Who's going where? That was all done at the community, not at the community level, at that level. When you've got one vote there, but people you really want to keep on voting, or those people who keep that community going, that's, that's what I saw our slews there after having my coherent staff. They started just shipping people around as needs of the district.

832
01:00:29,780 --> 01:00:33,000
You said that can maybe be responsible here?

833
01:00:33,140 --> 01:00:33,680
The superintendent.

834
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:34,800
Well, the superintendent would,

835
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,180
but if you don't have a firm,

836
01:00:36,260 --> 01:00:36,520
is it?

837
01:00:36,620 --> 01:00:37,360
The firm.

838
01:00:37,620 --> 01:00:39,260
And if you don't, if you got one boat,

839
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:40,800
maybe you got nothing.

840
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,160
I said, well, some bottles, things.

841
01:00:43,780 --> 01:00:45,460
And it was always like, four, five or five.

842
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:46,800
That was a principle.

843
01:00:47,340 --> 01:00:49,220
This was the one, a long time,

844
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:50,920
you were there with Mr. Kelly was there.

845
01:00:51,180 --> 01:00:52,960
I'm talking about Mr. Pito came and then changed.

846
01:00:53,260 --> 01:00:54,520
So that's pretty nice.

847
01:00:54,620 --> 01:00:55,060
What is it?

848
01:00:55,180 --> 01:00:57,560
Anyway, this was just a year with decking.

849
01:01:01,820 --> 01:01:10,620
Okay. Well, 13, 13 year job, you weren't there when I was there and I worked there for over 24 years. So anyway, so

850
01:01:10,620 --> 01:01:16,360
I was lost in curriculum control after seeing it, but it was at the local level with that promise.

851
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:24,440
School choice decisions not made by the school being made outside of the school, even when they felt they were capacity and some things they would be told.

852
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,660
So special programs are shipped to the school,

853
01:01:26,820 --> 01:01:29,180
they'll take it out of the school, autism programs,

854
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:30,680
and things like that, come though,

855
01:01:30,940 --> 01:01:33,080
try to lend support to the school, come and go,

856
01:01:33,220 --> 01:01:36,120
if you lose control over that grant writing,

857
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:39,380
lost at the local level, focus of grant writing,

858
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,260
all grant writing has to go through the school

859
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:43,360
committees and superintendent, lost control on that.

860
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:47,120
So no longer nature-based, all academic,

861
01:01:47,460 --> 01:01:48,920
MECAS focus-based.

862
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:52,020
And did you tell me that you lost the ability

863
01:01:52,020 --> 01:01:55,160
to teach reading the way that you

864
01:01:56,180 --> 01:02:01,600
with a reading specialist degree that you have yeah yeah yeah so we had an effective reading program

865
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:08,420
but they went ahead and going off the market it does all booklet type thing and it didn't work well

866
01:02:08,420 --> 01:02:11,680
and they had about three years so watch us go through two or three programs actually

867
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:16,500
after having effective programs because it wasn't working level district because it's a district

868
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:17,920
that they don't have a school thing.

869
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,780
And a loss of five and six, not just six, but five.

870
01:02:22,980 --> 01:02:24,360
And the town fuck that successfully,

871
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:26,440
but the district kept online to go five

872
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,640
and six into the middle school.

873
01:02:28,060 --> 01:02:29,900
So then you really see that click break me down.

874
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,000
If the game will weigh your preschool program

875
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,220
and then you five, six programs,

876
01:02:33,380 --> 01:02:34,560
then you better not just high school

877
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:35,760
and you're not meeting those needs.

878
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:37,840
But it isn't for the big concern.

879
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,640
PTO, PTG, I'll let the districts say,

880
01:02:41,940 --> 01:02:43,260
but it isn't all that they're saying.

881
01:02:43,260 --> 01:02:51,560
grant writing and proposals to become not we were looking at the horse man but what's

882
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:59,220
the school distinctions we do in the pen and languages one we want to become like Dexter Park

883
01:02:59,220 --> 01:03:06,740
or no like Dexter Park. We wanted some oil innovation school. We wanted to maintain some

884
01:03:06,740 --> 01:03:10,880
of the independence so they fought like crazy and the same thing happened when we were part

885
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:16,180
to put in here, but folks at the community want to have a thought to keep an invasion school

886
01:03:16,180 --> 01:03:21,680
made, so we would have some of those kinds of work in the really construction. And we didn't even

887
01:03:22,580 --> 01:03:26,880
process it very similar with what they did here when they closed out of school. After people

888
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:33,580
done a lot of work on it, it was, no, no, that's not, we got other things, so why should do a school

889
01:03:33,580 --> 01:03:39,460
be separate and different. So that's been my personal experience, and my focus is on the elementary,

890
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:44,180
Well, I know that the amount of things you lost, including staff, and that botanomy to

891
01:03:44,180 --> 01:03:48,680
do things, particularly grant writing, they had a private fund that was giving money

892
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,720
just to Royalston, and they were told they couldn't do that, they had to be shared with

893
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:53,660
the entire district.

894
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,880
I nearly did that same thing with that, so I was like, you cannot have a fund that is specific

895
01:03:58,880 --> 01:03:59,740
to your school.

896
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,000
If there is a fund to fund programs, they have to be district water.

897
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:14,820
And that was provided in control. That was provided in school field tricks where they brought things in the school and blow up whales and all sorts of animals that they would set up in there.

898
01:04:15,380 --> 01:04:26,840
And it was up outside of school things. That was money programming set aside. They ended up having to give the money back to the community and they found another source to give the money to because they were totally could not do that.

899
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,560
so they lost two or three streaming things.

900
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,560
So I've seen the negative side of that

901
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,120
based on the promise that you're school

902
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:34,220
and do whatever they want to do.

903
01:04:34,340 --> 01:04:34,920
But it's not right.

904
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:36,400
I'm unbelievable.

905
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:39,020
So those are my concerns.

906
01:04:39,700 --> 01:04:41,900
I know that I know that a friend over there

907
01:04:41,900 --> 01:04:43,580
has had his hand up quite a while too.

908
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,740
I don't have you still got what you want to say

909
01:04:46,740 --> 01:04:47,340
in there somewhere?

910
01:04:47,740 --> 01:04:48,680
Or do you do nothing to me?

911
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:50,880
We can't hear you.

912
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:53,880
Technology, we gotta love it.

913
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:55,220
That's how you're just.

914
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:55,780
No.

915
01:04:55,780 --> 01:04:56,160
Yeah.

916
01:04:59,250 --> 01:05:00,030
You're still muted.

917
01:05:05,910 --> 01:05:11,570
Oh, I'm glad you couldn't hear that. I know glad we didn't hear that because he's been waiting a long time. You and I have been over here waving.

918
01:05:13,330 --> 01:05:16,750
Yeah. How about you hear me now?

919
01:05:17,230 --> 01:05:17,390
Yeah.

920
01:05:17,450 --> 01:05:17,670
All right.

921
01:05:18,430 --> 01:05:19,070
Law and Claire.

922
01:05:19,450 --> 01:05:19,830
I'm excited.

923
01:05:20,510 --> 01:05:22,270
Yeah. My speaker's not working.

924
01:05:22,590 --> 01:05:23,770
You read your lips before the law.

925
01:05:24,110 --> 01:05:27,110
All right. I think I got it now. Can you hear me?

926
01:05:27,670 --> 01:05:27,850
Yeah.

927
01:05:27,850 --> 01:05:43,550
All right, Alan, I get a question before I say too often much, but my question is if Warwick votes know for this, does this destroy the whole effort of the five or six town planning committee moving this forward?

928
01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:45,250
Yes.

929
01:05:45,250 --> 01:05:54,050
Okay, I'm going to go on record and say right now, if this is what's going to happen,

930
01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:58,790
I'm going to fight you tooth and nail because this is the last six years of my life that

931
01:05:58,790 --> 01:06:03,830
we're about to flush down the toilet and everything we've built is going to go away because

932
01:06:03,830 --> 01:06:10,490
of this and everything that Brian was saying is exactly what I envision is going to happen

933
01:06:11,050 --> 01:06:14,210
and we're going to be right back where we were at the beginning of all this and it's,

934
01:06:14,710 --> 01:06:20,630
I just can't even ask them that we're having this discussion about giving up a

935
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:34,550
group of people who are not going to have our best interest after we built all of this girls and all that work. It's just made them think we would consider this as a town.

936
01:06:37,990 --> 01:06:38,950
Thank you, Adam.

937
01:06:39,230 --> 01:06:41,670
Thank you. I'm being patient to share that.

938
01:06:42,010 --> 01:06:43,950
I know how hard it was.

939
01:06:46,580 --> 01:06:47,420
You're smiling.

940
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,360
That was very, very, very,

941
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:51,760
I was very, very,

942
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,620
I was very boiled down, very confused.

943
01:06:57,620 --> 01:06:58,940
I did it good.

944
01:06:59,100 --> 01:07:00,860
There's no profanity at all in there,

945
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:02,480
because I was crawling out of my

946
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:02,740
stick.

947
01:07:03,940 --> 01:07:05,440
I was watching it.

948
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:10,100
about six years. That's a lot of patience. Well, that says a lot.

949
01:07:11,780 --> 01:07:14,100
Now, the work you've done make the sound.

950
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,520
And I'm just sharing my concerns based on my experience.

951
01:07:19,540 --> 01:07:24,720
We've done not I've done we've done. I want to make that clear is that I'm looking

952
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,900
around it at the people in the Roman. We did that together.

953
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,240
We built that together.

954
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:53,060
So anyway, Ally, I think the thing is, one, and there is some of those things that talked about that would be okay, if not, they're questioning, I'll bring up on this time before because I don't see how events as I wish we were being considered that a

955
01:07:54,580 --> 01:07:57,480
middle school high school level. I think it's a really much more practical

956
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,760
standard. I don't see a lot of effort while I care. You know, actually, there's

957
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,560
that more nugget. I want to make sure I share. I can't remember if I've shared it

958
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:11,560
with everybody, but we had a discussion with Rob, Rob, Rob O'Donnell, with

959
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:18,440
Desi. One of the comments that he made about Warwick joining another

960
01:08:18,440 --> 01:08:24,300
district at just a high school level was that if you want to join the pioneer

961
01:08:24,300 --> 01:08:30,880
district, they're a K-12 district. If we wanted to join them just for 7 through

962
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:35,380
12, that would require special state legislation.

963
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:39,360
It's not a straightforward

964
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:48,180
thing. So we could join Mahak 7 through 12, but to join Pioneer 7 through 12, or

965
01:08:48,180 --> 01:08:51,340
or something funky with the six towns,

966
01:08:52,380 --> 01:08:54,640
it would require special legislation

967
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:59,300
because both of the six town and Pioneer are key through 12.

968
01:08:59,740 --> 01:09:04,060
Mars, Mars set up as a secondary.

969
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:05,140
Is it a secondary room?

970
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,020
Even though oriental, just elementary,

971
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,080
elementary, it's a secondary room.

972
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:11,620
Now they share a superintendent.

973
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:13,460
Well, now they share an elementary school.

974
01:09:13,780 --> 01:09:15,040
Well, New Zealand, Wendell.

975
01:09:15,260 --> 01:09:15,980
Oh, I see.

976
01:09:15,980 --> 01:09:19,900
is one school, so New Salem and Wendell, they have that school.

977
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,280
And then Fish and Hill Dexter Park is the orange.

978
01:09:22,740 --> 01:09:23,120
Yeah, right.

979
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,560
But they have a stepping out of the entry district versus the high school.

980
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,480
Or is the seventh or the seventh?

981
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,640
Are there any other towns, the sites in the heart?

982
01:09:32,940 --> 01:09:33,020
Yeah.

983
01:09:33,660 --> 01:09:34,900
What's Irving said in the past?

984
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:35,860
Irving too.

985
01:09:36,140 --> 01:09:36,740
Irving too.

986
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,260
I think I read the Irving two missions.

987
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,520
I don't remember.

988
01:09:41,740 --> 01:09:43,960
Did you describe it as religiously?

989
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:50,440
I think it's a national legislature, I don't think it's a national school, it's just a number thing.

990
01:09:51,260 --> 01:09:51,540
28.

991
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:53,300
28, which I already do.

992
01:09:54,660 --> 01:09:57,380
So, Anna, I have that list here.

993
01:09:57,480 --> 01:09:59,200
If you want to go down that list, that's great.

994
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,920
Like a lot of folks who are involved in this process of being a school,

995
01:10:04,180 --> 01:10:06,360
and I don't trust them when they don't seem right.

996
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,220
So, you were in the system.

997
01:10:08,220 --> 01:10:16,720
Well, I guess I have a different perspective because I just joined this committee a few months ago.

998
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:30,000
I didn't read anything that came out of the sixth generation of a planning board over the last six years, yeah, until the last few days.

999
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:41,720
So, you know, I was going into it with an open mind and, you know, Allen is saying there's a lot in here to disregard because this is really just the most people.

1000
01:10:42,420 --> 01:10:51,660
Same things and some of their language I thought was poor and they used more and more and more and more all the time and alignment alignment here going.

1001
01:10:51,660 --> 01:10:59,380
it's very general, didn't have any substance to my mind in terms of the educational program.

1002
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:07,120
But then I read this, and I was looking for how-

1003
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:08,020
That's not along the nation line.

1004
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:10,320
Which the great deal.

1005
01:11:10,380 --> 01:11:19,840
I mean, it's self that was supposed to go down in November, and I found no reassurance that

1006
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:29,960
were to have any autonomy control over what happens in this school and that really concerned me.

1007
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:36,620
This is, you know, this is, I guess I would say, a bare bones agreement.

1008
01:11:37,420 --> 01:11:38,480
It's a good issue.

1009
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,240
It's basically a government structure.

1010
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:53,880
Yeah, but even in the governance structure, it doesn't say how the district is going to

1011
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,600
relate to the elementary schools.

1012
01:11:56,780 --> 01:12:00,560
I thought it was also interesting that they discussed this warwick elementary school.

1013
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:01,600
Isn't that a new warwick?

1014
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:02,540
No, we need a new school.

1015
01:12:02,860 --> 01:12:03,120
We need a new school.

1016
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:03,860
So.

1017
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,160
We hear the warwick school district does hardly should have any more.

1018
01:12:07,220 --> 01:12:07,780
Yeah, they shouldn't.

1019
01:12:07,980 --> 01:12:09,120
Yeah, but they have.

1020
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,680
Well, they're listing the elementary schools here.

1021
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,160
I don't know what I'm going to release, and I don't know what I'm going to say.

1022
01:12:16,340 --> 01:12:17,280
So, yeah.

1023
01:12:17,780 --> 01:12:22,260
So, you know, I looked at that and I thought, oh, okay, we're already being returstualized,

1024
01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:24,740
even in the bare bones agreement.

1025
01:12:27,780 --> 01:12:35,960
So I have the fears that I have are the similar fears that Brian and Diana have, well,

1026
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:42,760
Ryan expressed his experience, Diane, expressed her fears, and I think Adam shares a similar.

1027
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:47,860
I have the same concern because there's nothing to,

1028
01:12:50,740 --> 01:12:53,420
and there's another piece, you know,

1029
01:12:53,500 --> 01:12:58,820
there's nothing to say anything about how the individual elementary schools can operate

1030
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:01,460
autonomously in any way.

1031
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:08,320
And then I read this thing about the district shall maintain general charge and superintendents

1032
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,000
of the buildings and grounds and administer all expenses for maintaining and operating

1033
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,980
such buildings, facilities and grounds, and she'll keep them in good repair during terms

1034
01:13:15,980 --> 01:13:16,400
of the lease.

1035
01:13:16,780 --> 01:13:21,780
Any single necessary repair or maintenance work undertaken in any fiscal year with an estimated

1036
01:13:21,780 --> 01:13:27,800
cost that exceeds $20,000 shall be paid directly in a trial by the tenant, which is the building

1037
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,900
That is a really love threshold.

1038
01:13:30,980 --> 01:13:32,760
That's a really love threshold.

1039
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:33,040
Yes.

1040
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,680
That is the responsibility.

1041
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,480
I think yet in terms of capital projects,

1042
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,240
we release the building from the town.

1043
01:13:40,740 --> 01:13:41,960
And so they're any.

1044
01:13:42,180 --> 01:13:42,340
Right.

1045
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:43,640
Any town.

1046
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,140
They they have the responsibility.

1047
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,300
And we've always had that.

1048
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:50,620
Even with the old building.

1049
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:51,340
That's the way.

1050
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,080
That just seems.

1051
01:13:55,340 --> 01:13:56,900
That also means that on an aid repair.

1052
01:13:56,900 --> 01:14:01,060
here up to 20,000 in another school within the district,

1053
01:14:01,460 --> 01:14:03,060
or with paying the share of it.

1054
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:03,720
Yeah, yeah.

1055
01:14:03,940 --> 01:14:04,680
And vice versa.

1056
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:05,860
And they pretty sure.

1057
01:14:05,900 --> 01:14:07,080
And it's not really tricky,

1058
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,380
particularly in the last few years

1059
01:14:08,380 --> 01:14:10,560
that we were part of the Pioneer District talk.

1060
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,020
And then if you look at the amount of,

1061
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:13,140
that could be manipulative.

1062
01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:15,360
The firm maintenance on this building

1063
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,300
was probably needed tons of work.

1064
01:14:17,620 --> 01:14:19,120
Because the work of the district should end up,

1065
01:14:19,260 --> 01:14:20,180
they stopped doing it.

1066
01:14:20,300 --> 01:14:21,760
At least at least five weeks,

1067
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,760
maybe six people were like close to school.

1068
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:29,160
They were pipes, they were misfit engines, all the things that fit underneath that partial.

1069
01:14:29,480 --> 01:14:31,640
They make e-mouse it to the mass.

1070
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:38,860
We had to do a major rebuild on the airflow system here, because they put in a smaller

1071
01:14:38,860 --> 01:14:41,120
cheaper engine into the actual system.

1072
01:14:41,620 --> 01:14:46,760
So the time that they were absorbing all those pharmaceuticals, they didn't fix them, they

1073
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:47,560
didn't fix them.

1074
01:14:48,220 --> 01:14:49,200
They didn't do different things.

1075
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,920
All these doors were frozen shut and everything else.

1076
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:53,780
They didn't fix even the small things.

1077
01:14:54,440 --> 01:14:55,240
They just let them sit.

1078
01:14:55,780 --> 01:14:58,620
And on the time to develop an own work, you couldn't open fire anyways.

1079
01:14:58,980 --> 01:14:59,900
They were rusted.

1080
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,960
You're shocked. And there were at least seven of them, the rest of the truck. They anticipated closing the school and they stopped getting maintenance and the time absorbed all that just to keep building up to up the code to make sure he'd use it in the future regardless of the school or the town or whatever. So I've seen a negative side of what happens with that. I've seen them take all the books out of one school or else and shift them down to another school because they need them. And then when they open up their brand new school, they sent them all back and they have to be

1081
01:15:32,420 --> 01:15:35,960
So the other I get to collect.

1082
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:53,680
You know the other thing is that we have a district right next to us that's a secondary school district so to my mind and if I had, you know, thought to get involved in this in the past.

1083
01:15:53,680 --> 01:16:07,340
I might have thought of it doing a feasibility study on joining a lot more regional school district at the secondary level and maintaining an independent elementary school versus the 6th 10 regional thing.

1084
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:10,960
And I know you put an incredible amount of work into the sound.

1085
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:20,080
but I also am very skeptical about, I would need to see a lot in writing that would ensure

1086
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,160
our ability to keep going in the direction that we've been going in.

1087
01:16:26,220 --> 01:16:27,480
So I have a work to do.

1088
01:16:28,180 --> 01:16:37,780
And the other thing is we have people in town who have helped with a lot of improvements here.

1089
01:16:37,780 --> 01:16:40,760
I'm looking at that Windsor right there, you know, and

1090
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,140
Janice Krakowski wrote grants,

1091
01:16:43,660 --> 01:16:46,360
grant proposals to get money to do some of those things.

1092
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:52,300
If that's not allowed, if we're a part of a six-town regional district, for

1093
01:16:53,420 --> 01:16:59,300
communities, you know, I grew up in a community to find money to do a particular thing on their school.

1094
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:02,900
You've been in the loose something else.

1095
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:03,900
So you're shabby.

1096
01:17:03,900 --> 01:17:06,840
That's not allowed because you had a bad experience.

1097
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:08,640
We certainly did not.

1098
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,280
Well, I think they're going to have the same issue.

1099
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,880
We've got two districts that are aware of that have had

1100
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,740
such a unified approach on how things need to be done.

1101
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,320
And we can imagine how power plays out in all these scenarios.

1102
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:22,280
I don't know.

1103
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:23,680
Yeah, we've got it.

1104
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:25,580
Yeah, we've got to go back to Adam.

1105
01:17:28,260 --> 01:17:38,700
I had some data questions in regards to Warwick people going to Turner's Falls.

1106
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:46,460
Do we know how many of our current students in the 7th or 12th go to Great Falls or Turner's

1107
01:17:46,460 --> 01:17:46,900
Falls High School?

1108
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,480
No, not at all.

1109
01:17:52,000 --> 01:18:01,700
And does anyone, and I thought about, does anyone know of anyone in their past experience here in Warwick who said had someone say, you know what I want to choice to turn us false.

1110
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:09,140
because I've never met anyone that has ever set my entire life of school and otherwise.

1111
01:18:09,480 --> 01:18:15,780
So, it may be kind of a poke at it, but I just don't even see, you know,

1112
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:20,080
of all schools to go that way, but that's my, it's a little bit of a jab,

1113
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,420
but I just don't see that, you know, anyone is, is clawing from Warwick to go

1114
01:18:24,420 --> 01:18:27,980
into Turner Falls High School for their secondary education.

1115
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,960
So, it just doesn't make, for my Warwick standpoint, it doesn't make sense.

1116
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:36,060
from that.

1117
01:18:39,640 --> 01:19:02,440
I'm just throwing that out there. That may be a jab, but I'm trying to be nice, but that's really helpful. I think from my, you know, from what I was reading and what I was hearing it, well, and I think just my experience of this elementary school, I think it does feel so special and I also have the fear.

1118
01:19:03,060 --> 01:19:12,180
and I think very legitimate fear of, I mean, losing our control over it when it sounds like we have a lot of great options.

1119
01:19:12,500 --> 01:19:18,040
I don't really hear any benefits to being in the regional committee or regional district.

1120
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:23,420
For us, I know there are some for the other districts if we join presumably.

1121
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,440
I'm concerned about having one personal, I just think about like how well we function.

1122
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,440
And so it seems crazy, and I'm like, then do we lose Carol?

1123
01:19:36,820 --> 01:19:42,400
Like I'm like, we lose Carol's superintendant when I think she's like the best superintendant.

1124
01:19:42,540 --> 01:19:46,680
You know, like, and I, but I don't think we get it.

1125
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,960
Like, and I don't know, I don't think we'd get it for the dessert.

1126
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,600
I think we'd get whoever is running one of the bigger.

1127
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:52,320
Yeah.

1128
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:55,040
Yeah.

1129
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:55,880
in your own.

1130
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:56,480
My name is Charles, my name is Charles.

1131
01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:56,940
I'm a principal of one degree.

1132
01:19:56,940 --> 01:19:58,000
Charles should be a principal.

1133
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,840
Because I've seen that same thing.

1134
01:20:01,980 --> 01:20:02,780
That's a two-thousand.

1135
01:20:02,780 --> 01:20:03,440
Two-thousand.

1136
01:20:03,740 --> 01:20:04,300
It's the sea.

1137
01:20:04,860 --> 01:20:05,100
Yeah.

1138
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:07,340
It's the sea of one degree of sea.

1139
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:08,120
It's the sea of one degree of sea.

1140
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:08,160
It's the sea of the principal.

1141
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:09,120
No, I know that.

1142
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,380
What should he's up for now?

1143
01:20:12,780 --> 01:20:13,000
He's up for that.

1144
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:13,160
Yeah.

1145
01:20:13,340 --> 01:20:14,540
He's still there.

1146
01:20:15,220 --> 01:20:16,580
And I'll tell you what.

1147
01:20:17,020 --> 01:20:18,440
The day like today's a good example.

1148
01:20:18,540 --> 01:20:19,500
I'm going to tell you what.

1149
01:20:19,500 --> 01:20:21,340
The day like today's a good example.

1150
01:20:21,340 --> 01:20:21,740
It's a good example.

1151
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:22,220
I'm going to tell you what.

1152
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,760
I'll tell you what.

1153
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:30,140
teacher myself out there dealing with a problem that took two hours to deal with them on the playground.

1154
01:20:30,860 --> 01:20:36,480
I like getting too many vehicles. They would need all those people who need to solve the problem.

1155
01:20:36,780 --> 01:20:41,080
So here's what I hear. I'll give a big picture. I hear fear, fear, fear, fear.

1156
01:20:41,420 --> 01:20:47,880
Lots of people need money too. Some people may be not as real, but they feel it and believe it.

1157
01:20:48,500 --> 01:20:56,940
So I look at, you can have data, you can look at data, and you can follow it through the data

1158
01:20:56,940 --> 01:21:05,020
issue. But you can also look at, as you know, you can take any data that you spin it anyway,

1159
01:21:05,660 --> 01:21:12,540
if you want, you can go ahead and hide what you've said. If you look at things with an open

1160
01:21:12,540 --> 01:21:21,300
remind and come to a conclusion is on paper. And there's a lot of valid points that are made.

1161
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:27,300
And I could read Amuse one but I think that would not be so that I'm really well right now.

1162
01:21:28,540 --> 01:21:33,600
I would like to know this. So from a lens of what

1163
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:42,800
positive things could happen every six down in the original. I'd like to hear some of your spots about that.

1164
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:51,520
Is that what might be positive? Yeah, that's anyone. Okay, what are the positive things but not for war?

1165
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:55,280
We can say that's a no, you don't see any positive.

1166
01:21:55,620 --> 01:21:56,520
Not for a war there.

1167
01:21:57,220 --> 01:21:58,120
I think that's pretty.

1168
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,020
I've been pressed by Maher.

1169
01:22:00,440 --> 01:22:02,760
I take Maher's own direction for this.

1170
01:22:05,900 --> 01:22:11,960
I think for the high school population, not for the elementary.

1171
01:22:12,740 --> 01:22:13,540
I'm thinking I'm district.

1172
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:14,620
You ask me to put a hat on.

1173
01:22:14,860 --> 01:22:15,860
I'll put it on a district hat.

1174
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:16,960
Not an elementary hat.

1175
01:22:17,620 --> 01:22:19,180
And I live in the elementary world.

1176
01:22:19,180 --> 01:22:32,760
There may be some extra benefits for your high school age kids, but even then, I'd be looking at my first to say, but we've got two choices right now for kids.

1177
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:41,140
And if we can maintain two or three choices, that's even better than one locked into his boss because I will tell you one thing for sure.

1178
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:47,460
I agree with that. I heard a termist, folks, wanting to come here or go on a

1179
01:22:47,460 --> 01:22:50,920
place that's, I don't hear anybody knocking down the door to go to termists.

1180
01:22:51,260 --> 01:22:54,800
Even outlaw is hemorrhaging people. They do not hemorrhage people to turn as

1181
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:59,720
they hemorrhage the other districts. So it's geographically further away, but

1182
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,880
it's also philosophically a different district.

1183
01:23:04,410 --> 01:23:07,390
So I see potential, thanks for older

1184
01:23:07,390 --> 01:23:10,930
kids. And if you're losing your five and six here or you six, you say it's not

1185
01:23:10,930 --> 01:23:13,370
not to be five, but it starts at six, then it goes to five.

1186
01:23:13,930 --> 01:23:15,770
You're talking about the, it takes through four school.

1187
01:23:16,350 --> 01:23:18,250
I see us who is in the morning.

1188
01:23:18,750 --> 01:23:21,650
So, what do you think is the ability

1189
01:23:21,650 --> 01:23:27,030
to sustain a building on a self-projecting program?

1190
01:23:27,890 --> 01:23:33,370
And I say that because I think it is gonna be

1191
01:23:33,830 --> 01:23:36,430
a challenge that we will not be able to sustain.

1192
01:23:37,010 --> 01:23:39,450
I think we can thrive in this environment.

1193
01:23:39,450 --> 01:23:42,950
I think we'll be able to continue doing what we're doing as well as the other

1194
01:23:42,950 --> 01:23:48,870
long-term schools, which is why our focus was a lot on the middle school and high school.

1195
01:23:49,790 --> 01:23:54,270
All of our conversations for six years, and that's why you don't see a lot about, you know,

1196
01:23:54,370 --> 01:23:59,770
the elementary part in it, because people were pretty happy with elementary schools.

1197
01:24:07,770 --> 01:24:14,970
So when the recent agreement was put together and I had a real concern with all the people

1198
01:24:14,970 --> 01:24:23,050
30 by 40 people that really worked out in this work some years to get to the impossible

1199
01:24:23,050 --> 01:24:25,930
with not a lot of support at the beginning from Desi.

1200
01:24:27,070 --> 01:24:35,210
So much energy has gone into opening the school up, and I was a part of that in the education as well as the other.

1201
01:24:35,490 --> 01:24:39,630
My aim was to perspective it was a little different.

1202
01:24:40,270 --> 01:24:45,070
My perspective was, I wanted to do everything possible to get the school open.

1203
01:24:45,530 --> 01:24:48,090
So because we need a school, we have to have a school.

1204
01:24:49,030 --> 01:24:52,690
And in doing so, I also have to perspective up.

1205
01:24:53,890 --> 01:24:58,570
You can't be a part of a six-town if you don't have a school and we need to open a school.

1206
01:24:58,990 --> 01:25:03,210
So that's a disclaimer that I've always put up and we kind of had a school.

1207
01:25:08,460 --> 01:25:13,420
The language that I tried to put for the school church, and I don't know whether it's a

1208
01:25:13,900 --> 01:25:22,840
private desi or a group, just a language, whereas if a school, and we had to give them forward

1209
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:31,520
in mind for this was 20 students or less over a two-year period. They could do another feasibility

1210
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:40,600
study and they could look at closing a school again. And there's a threshold for that. But what I

1211
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:50,320
made a part of that was it includes resident students, tuition students, and school choice students

1212
01:25:52,140 --> 01:25:57,540
because one I think kills in the same situation is just a very track of school.

1213
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,880
People want to go there and this as well as here.

1214
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,340
And that is a pretty easy target I think that we could achieve.

1215
01:26:05,340 --> 01:26:06,320
So you finish.

1216
01:26:08,660 --> 01:26:13,620
So the language is a native to help it to stay.

1217
01:26:14,420 --> 01:26:17,240
And look at the numbers of, hey, what do we have?

1218
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:26,200
How many, how many zero of one year olds would be having town? We have three. How many two to three year olds we have two.

1219
01:26:26,940 --> 01:26:32,880
So basically, three, three, two, one.

1220
01:26:33,460 --> 01:26:40,060
And whatever that total was over those four year period that I was looking at was like either seven or eleven.

1221
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:46,800
So, I look at that and I say, okay, right now, a resident enrollment for kids that would

1222
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:56,620
be coming here is pretty small, however, we have the ability to continue to thrive and

1223
01:26:57,100 --> 01:27:01,880
be attractive, and I don't have the negative view that we're not going to be able to do

1224
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:02,140
that.

1225
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:03,320
That's right.

1226
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:04,240
That's right.

1227
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:06,280
I'm sorry that you had a bad experience

1228
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,500
and I know that don't you know what I'm planning

1229
01:27:09,500 --> 01:27:13,940
or because I'm going to commit all of our conversations

1230
01:27:14,340 --> 01:27:16,520
in the bidding board.

1231
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,420
And in the towns when we're looking at the vision green

1232
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:21,860
have they so up with the,

1233
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,700
and what could be with the health staff, the admin schools,

1234
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:30,980
and bringing them together to create something special

1235
01:27:30,980 --> 01:27:33,640
but again, we didn't focus on the intervention

1236
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:42,040
unique because it was about even, you know, having the uniqueness, which makes us

1237
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:46,020
a little special. No, it's one of the only just to have something special.

1238
01:27:46,480 --> 01:27:50,320
Yeah. These are all great philosophical points. And I say something about the

1239
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:55,840
conversation, and I'll pass you. I think just like also thinking about time and

1240
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:02,240
thinking about like, I think it's important that we try to keep our

1241
01:28:02,240 --> 01:28:10,960
comments like shorter into the point I think especially because like I think you have an important

1242
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:15,180
role because you've obviously been in the regional planning committee. I also don't want it to be

1243
01:28:15,180 --> 01:28:20,480
that we spend the equal amount of time talking about what you see as the pros and what we see as the

1244
01:28:20,480 --> 01:28:27,260
cons since at the moment there are a lot of concerns like and I just don't think it makes sense to

1245
01:28:27,260 --> 01:28:32,900
give equal time to like your individual support and a lot of people's concerns.

1246
01:28:33,420 --> 01:28:39,520
So can I just say, if it's in the contract, then I believe it. Just like when you sign a

1247
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:44,180
teacher contract or principal contract or a superintendent contract. If it's in the contract

1248
01:28:44,180 --> 01:28:49,440
and these things were reflected in the contract about the autonomy, I would say fantastic.

1249
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:55,520
I agree with all our work you've done. I agree with your philosophy. I think that's wonderful.

1250
01:28:55,980 --> 01:29:08,240
It's not in the contract and this is the contract and it should be asking us to vote for losing the time and how we fund our school, whether we can take kids in with programs who offer all those things, none of that's in here.

1251
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:10,000
You didn't make this is not in here.

1252
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:10,780
It would not be.

1253
01:29:12,100 --> 01:29:14,240
Well, that answers my question.

1254
01:29:14,460 --> 01:29:15,140
That's all I got.

1255
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:16,260
It wasn't any.

1256
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:21,900
The original agreement from the head that we did have exactly what you're talking about.

1257
01:29:21,900 --> 01:29:30,180
But we had our own elementary school in 1991, up to that one, where we did tuition to

1258
01:29:30,180 --> 01:29:32,280
kids to pioneer seven through 12.

1259
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:34,100
And so did it.

1260
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:41,080
I mean, before the before the event, there's a kind of normalization, but the greeners.

1261
01:29:41,160 --> 01:29:43,200
So did you want to say anything you want to share?

1262
01:29:43,540 --> 01:29:45,340
I really wanted to just listen to it.

1263
01:29:45,340 --> 01:29:46,000
Thank you.

1264
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:47,120
Thanks for coming.

1265
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:57,080
and Julie was there at the beginning so yeah so for many many years all of the

1266
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,760
for elementary schools have their own school.

1267
01:30:00,820 --> 01:30:31,850
And in 1991, the town voted to become part of Putty Beer, 7-12. And they voted, that's the thing we're before, since the other time, we showed it to all the town voted. To reason wise, to, by any words, a 7-12 district, to reasonize, we gave a 12. And then the school committee, they didn't have to dissolve because it was, like none of, like original, so they just...

1268
01:30:31,850 --> 01:30:33,310
There were actually so many Pizzo.

1269
01:30:33,790 --> 01:30:35,450
No, it didn't. Just went away.

1270
01:30:36,250 --> 01:30:39,410
And in this case, because you have regional schools, they dissolve.

1271
01:30:40,050 --> 01:30:44,150
But each individual school can be no one.

1272
01:30:44,710 --> 01:30:44,850
Right.

1273
01:30:45,350 --> 01:30:45,510
Right.

1274
01:30:46,090 --> 01:30:47,550
And then the school councils,

1275
01:30:48,510 --> 01:30:50,170
because I was in the pioneer years ago.

1276
01:30:51,170 --> 01:30:51,270
This,

1277
01:30:52,150 --> 01:30:53,610
a hell of a little.

1278
01:30:54,850 --> 01:30:59,770
We basically listen to what the school councils said.

1279
01:30:59,770 --> 01:31:03,110
they've seen elementary schools, you know,

1280
01:31:03,570 --> 01:31:10,130
a fair budget that was part of what chapter EDA was.

1281
01:31:10,890 --> 01:31:13,950
They made recommendations and programs

1282
01:31:13,950 --> 01:31:16,850
and we followed their recommendations.

1283
01:31:17,310 --> 01:31:19,790
And it worked well for when you saw me years.

1284
01:31:20,650 --> 01:31:22,470
And now it's not working well.

1285
01:31:23,130 --> 01:31:23,570
Until it did.

1286
01:31:24,090 --> 01:31:27,330
Well, it was more modified.

1287
01:31:27,330 --> 01:31:35,910
Yeah, well, and I very choose to talk to you about question you're why about why what why you did we do that? Why did we?

1288
01:31:37,030 --> 01:31:41,750
Regional and yeah, why did we what we have now is what they had

1289
01:31:42,370 --> 01:31:51,890
before they only differences were twisting kids there and before we had we were part of a seventh or twelve district.

1290
01:31:52,710 --> 01:31:56,970
I would say that the reason why we switched was because nobody for saw

1291
01:31:57,330 --> 01:32:03,870
what was going to happen in 2018, 2019, 2020, and beyond on what the district would do.

1292
01:32:03,930 --> 01:32:08,790
It only took 30 years to really put us down, you know, up the creek without a paddle.

1293
01:32:09,370 --> 01:32:17,830
Now, we have the lens of how evil that whole situation can turn and how very quickly can turn

1294
01:32:17,830 --> 01:32:21,690
and how we will lose all that autonomy that we just fought to came back.

1295
01:32:21,690 --> 01:32:28,530
I think if you knew in 1990s that what was going to happen and the way things were going

1296
01:32:28,530 --> 01:32:28,850
to transfer.

1297
01:32:29,390 --> 01:32:31,090
I can't say that you would change.

1298
01:32:31,550 --> 01:32:35,470
You know, there was probably some really good looking things, probably had some amazing

1299
01:32:35,470 --> 01:32:41,370
study from something like Mars who we've seen, you know, they were around when the disk,

1300
01:32:41,490 --> 01:32:45,850
they tried to close Warwick and the numbers that they were proposing and everything, Diana

1301
01:32:45,850 --> 01:32:50,010
just punched holes in an all day long and it was ugly with the things that went on with

1302
01:32:50,010 --> 01:32:50,130
that.

1303
01:32:50,130 --> 01:32:57,190
But it's just, you know, we have the lens of reality of how things will go really bad

1304
01:32:57,190 --> 01:32:59,350
now as opposed to what happened in the 90s.

1305
01:32:59,410 --> 01:33:06,090
So I think if you look at it from that lens and how much we remember, you know, the thing

1306
01:33:06,090 --> 01:33:09,810
about history is it's not going to repeat itself, but it'll off-rimes.

1307
01:33:10,190 --> 01:33:15,890
And I think in less time this time than 30 years, we're going to be back here at the same

1308
01:33:15,890 --> 01:33:19,050
thing trying to reopen another district.

1309
01:33:19,050 --> 01:33:22,790
And I'm not going to be a part of it next time if that happens, but it's going to happen

1310
01:33:22,790 --> 01:33:29,730
very quickly the next time, because that's just my prediction, but I don't know.

1311
01:33:29,890 --> 01:33:31,550
I can't tell Jess has got her hand up.

1312
01:33:31,870 --> 01:33:33,210
It keeps him a little hand pop up.

1313
01:33:33,230 --> 01:33:35,370
Oh, I

1314
01:33:37,610 --> 01:33:39,630
don't have a hand pop up.

1315
01:33:39,630 --> 01:33:40,790
I'm not sure what it's doing.

1316
01:33:42,470 --> 01:33:47,450
Oh, it may be because it may be because of my hands are going, it's becoming animated

1317
01:33:47,450 --> 01:33:52,730
that it's like popping up somewhere, the new Zoom AI stuff. But anyway.

1318
01:33:53,550 --> 01:33:59,150
Right. So Louise and I have one final. Yeah, and I think that we need to talk about what our

1319
01:33:59,150 --> 01:34:06,350
process is going to be. No, I have to. Anthony. Oh, okay, Andrew. Yeah, because we had

1320
01:34:06,350 --> 01:34:09,310
to talk to some such as you know, there's two reasons. So I never said of fiscal

1321
01:34:09,310 --> 01:34:16,710
pressures that the town quit for the school in representation on the fine

1322
01:34:19,010 --> 01:34:25,870
I mean, the reason that we regionalised back in the early, yeah, and I remember those discussions.

1323
01:34:27,250 --> 01:34:30,670
It didn't have any excitement about it.

1324
01:34:30,950 --> 01:34:34,870
It was just, well, just we should do this.

1325
01:34:35,570 --> 01:34:39,050
And there was sadness about losing a lot of stalking.

1326
01:34:39,050 --> 01:34:50,430
So yeah, yeah, but it much I'm still I thought I thought you got into you paused for me. I

1327
01:34:50,430 --> 01:35:01,530
can be I am also concerned about our current situation the sustainability of it but because

1328
01:35:01,530 --> 01:35:07,450
we're trying to school choice students and start the pre-k program and you know there's

1329
01:35:07,450 --> 01:35:17,470
vitality here. I think it's incredible and every day I think, you know, how amazing all

1330
01:35:17,470 --> 01:35:19,190
the stuff is happening here that's positive.

1331
01:35:21,990 --> 01:35:27,790
I don't think that going into the district would

1332
01:35:27,790 --> 01:35:31,130
make us any more sustainable than we are now

1333
01:35:33,820 --> 01:35:36,240
because there's going to be rules that are going

1334
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:43,360
to come forward to us to make our job harder here and the chance, the possibility of, you know,

1335
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:50,060
a state of population keeps going down and, you know, paying your decides to close war work

1336
01:35:50,060 --> 01:35:56,560
again. Okay. Well, the district, the new, the new six-town district decides to close. Yeah,

1337
01:35:56,560 --> 01:36:01,940
I know we have to like, know that it's not the same entity. We're thinking like it is though. Yeah,

1338
01:36:01,940 --> 01:36:19,260
Well, it feels like it, I mean, it's so one of the things that I and this will be my last comment was that and maybe it was not in this stuff but was in that maybe it was in the Mars stuff and had to be in the Mars stuff.

1339
01:36:21,180 --> 01:36:28,300
that, you know, the studies are saying that all the towns are similar. Well,

1340
01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:35,200
Lyden and Warwick are tiny towns. Northfield and Bernerson are mid-size

1341
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:42,120
and monogues much bigger. So, to me, that's very different. It's not similar.

1342
01:36:42,380 --> 01:36:46,460
So, the attempt that Mars made, you know, saying, you know,

1343
01:36:46,460 --> 01:36:47,320
I mean, that's all good.

1344
01:36:47,540 --> 01:36:49,920
We can, you know, we're all set up with each other.

1345
01:36:50,100 --> 01:36:53,580
I think miss the point, uh, fair enough.

1346
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:55,120
So I think that's my main thing.

1347
01:36:55,300 --> 01:37:03,500
I don't see any, any, um, potential for better sustainability for more wickedly if we join

1348
01:37:03,500 --> 01:37:05,340
this regional district.

1349
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:06,940
Yeah.

1350
01:37:07,260 --> 01:37:12,680
I want to, like, I want to uplift a lot of what you're saying, which is I agree like I think

1351
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:13,820
we have a lot of vitality.

1352
01:37:13,820 --> 01:37:19,880
I think there's been a lot of creative thinking and I think it's because we have so many people

1353
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:20,300
working with.

1354
01:37:20,440 --> 01:37:24,100
I think there's often this concern, like I read something, it was like there are so many

1355
01:37:24,100 --> 01:37:28,320
school committees and only this many students and it was like, isn't it nice that there

1356
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:32,100
are so many school committees for that number of students because they can have a really local

1357
01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:36,600
and you know, accurate perspective of the students that they're serving.

1358
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:42,740
And yeah, if we were part of the regional district, like all of the crazy backbending, back

1359
01:37:42,740 --> 01:37:48,980
Carol and Jess in the, like, just a school at large due to, like, get these other opportunities,

1360
01:37:49,220 --> 01:37:54,060
it wouldn't be possible. And I'm right. We'll lose that vitality that, like,

1361
01:37:54,660 --> 01:38:01,040
sparks these things, like, I, and I just, like, 100% agree that, like, I don't think that we're

1362
01:38:01,620 --> 01:38:06,400
more at risk in the situation. I think we would become more at risk in the regional district.

1363
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:14,700
I think that like we have a ton of momentum from our loss and from like the the generative energy to like get this going again

1364
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:20,140
And I think people will work really hard and it would and I think it would be a real I

1365
01:38:21,420 --> 01:38:23,320
Mean disappointment to the town

1366
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:31,480
Like rejoined a regional district after that loss and I think they'd be like what is the school committee doing like you know

1367
01:38:31,480 --> 01:38:32,460
It's like where are they going?

1368
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:42,020
And I have one last piece, which is important to share, particularly from teaching,

1369
01:38:42,140 --> 01:38:44,500
perspective, parent, perspective, and student perspective.

1370
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:51,740
Now, I want another receiver ship because we feel the one school was the Kalamenki School

1371
01:38:51,740 --> 01:38:56,520
was terrible beyond their MCAS force and a school at the end of closing.

1372
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:01,380
When the state came in, they dictated the closing of schools and moving into the round to

1373
01:39:01,380 --> 01:39:03,740
to dodge around some of the accountability issues.

1374
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:08,660
What that states attitude toward the district was

1375
01:39:08,660 --> 01:39:11,400
every elementary school of a family school

1376
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:13,880
if one school in your district was failed.

1377
01:39:14,340 --> 01:39:17,200
Ernest Falls has been bundling along

1378
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,680
with low-end assholes for a long time.

1379
01:39:20,340 --> 01:39:21,900
Should their high school of middle school

1380
01:39:21,900 --> 01:39:23,580
or any of the elementary schools

1381
01:39:23,580 --> 01:39:27,880
be found ironically, core and accountability,

1382
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,000
the state can come in and restructure

1383
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:34,600
district contracts, working conditions,

1384
01:39:35,180 --> 01:39:37,340
assignment of students, and other things.

1385
01:39:37,620 --> 01:39:39,520
If you have a male informant whatsoever,

1386
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:43,160
you are a justice poorly performing regardless of who you are.

1387
01:39:43,340 --> 01:39:47,180
You've got recognized by the state for performance and gains

1388
01:39:47,180 --> 01:39:48,720
by the state.

1389
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,080
And yet, we were considered on a performing district and staff

1390
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:54,720
all carried that with them as did the students.

1391
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:56,120
And that's terrible.

1392
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:58,060
but that's the way the state looks at it.

1393
01:39:58,080 --> 01:39:58,920
By the end of last, please.

1394
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:00,180
Yeah.

1395
01:40:00,460 --> 01:40:03,320
All right, so I'm going to throw one more thing out there

1396
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:04,760
when we talk about the sustainability

1397
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,700
and, you know, warwick paying for this,

1398
01:40:07,780 --> 01:40:10,840
because we went through this whole financial situation

1399
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,300
with Pioneer and David did some interesting stuff

1400
01:40:14,300 --> 01:40:16,040
and we actually, as a town voter,

1401
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:18,860
not to approve the school,

1402
01:40:19,060 --> 01:40:21,300
but the Pioneer budget one year

1403
01:40:21,300 --> 01:40:22,620
and they went through a whole process.

1404
01:40:23,020 --> 01:40:23,960
Through that process,

1405
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:28,540
us we learn that as a town we don't really have a say in the budget we have

1406
01:40:28,540 --> 01:40:33,340
representation there on the school budget but it's the budget and it gets you

1407
01:40:33,340 --> 01:40:38,400
know we have to pay our portion of it as part of the district so you know

1408
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:44,300
if the districts are at the flounder they see some top-up you know really high

1409
01:40:44,300 --> 01:40:49,640
salaries and they're in the supermarket or whatever we have to pay a portion

1410
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,760
that we really don't have a say in it and then we're gonna be back where we

1411
01:40:52,760 --> 01:40:56,820
were before with some really high bills that are not sustainable.

1412
01:40:57,420 --> 01:41:03,380
As of right now, at least we are all towns folks, we understand everybody else in town

1413
01:41:03,380 --> 01:41:05,500
and their ability to pay the bills and stuff like that.

1414
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:07,920
We're sensitive to that and we are doing very creative things.

1415
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:16,100
We lose that autonomy and at some point if they decide as a district to increase the amount

1416
01:41:16,100 --> 01:41:22,860
of that is kind of cost around the district. We have a square root of F all choice and saying no

1417
01:41:22,860 --> 01:41:24,660
in that other than our once one vote.

1418
01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:32,700
Oh, you got cut off right up here. We lost your cell. Oh, wait.

1419
01:41:33,220 --> 01:41:39,700
I think it might be back. Yeah, I'm sorry. I lost you. But I think I think Diana understood my point.

1420
01:41:40,540 --> 01:41:46,860
We got we got almost all of it. Yeah. And we we won't have if they decide to

1421
01:41:46,860 --> 01:41:52,300
raise the whatever our percentage is we won't have much of a saying how then I won't vote so

1422
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:58,900
Sustainability-wise we're in really good. I know that there's concerns about sustainability of the district our district

1423
01:41:58,900 --> 01:42:05,180
I agree that scares the heck out of me, but we have a lot better control and a lot better ability on our own than

1424
01:42:05,180 --> 01:42:10,940
Then joining a district that's gonna overrun us and tell us what we're gonna pay not can we pay this?

1425
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:17,140
I really have a question that you open and think about the process and we can think about

1426
01:42:17,140 --> 01:42:21,420
the question because I think that we need to be thinking of a plan as well.

1427
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:29,620
I've said a number of times that I am concerned about this sustainability and we have a very

1428
01:42:29,620 --> 01:42:33,400
tight budget and we have, we get amazing things out of the budget that we have.

1429
01:42:33,940 --> 01:42:40,260
We will get kids that are going to require many dollars for services.

1430
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:48,220
Do we have, and we have some accounts and so forth, but the thing is that one or two of those can wipe out those accounts pretty fast.

1431
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:54,420
There's some relief because there's a circuit breaker that gives you a portion, you know, in the computer and stuff.

1432
01:42:54,420 --> 01:42:56,020
so that- Anything over flirting?

1433
01:42:56,160 --> 01:43:07,280
Yep. So we need to be thinking of a plan to how we would address that because 80% of

1434
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:14,880
the money budget is your staff and the salaries and so forth. So we only really get to play

1435
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:22,960
around the 20% and a small issue that 20% is like vital to people who still feed. So if

1436
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:29,280
If you had, you know, you're in could look at what if game for quite a bit in the conversation,

1437
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:30,120
it's a good one.

1438
01:43:30,260 --> 01:43:37,100
You know, we've got to ask somebody if what if in October, we have a $200,000 issue we

1439
01:43:37,100 --> 01:43:38,960
have to deal with in transportation.

1440
01:43:39,780 --> 01:43:45,400
Do we go to the towns and have a special town meeting because we certainly can't absorb

1441
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:46,360
that in the budget.

1442
01:43:47,540 --> 01:43:53,380
we would need to figure out how to get from that point to when we got a search breaker or

1443
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:54,920
the reimbursement from the other school.

1444
01:43:55,100 --> 01:43:55,220
Right.

1445
01:43:55,340 --> 01:44:02,440
We had to try to raise a budget in places and that's a huge amount in a small budget like this.

1446
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:07,100
But we need to find out how to get from there until when the search breaker came in.

1447
01:44:07,220 --> 01:44:09,200
When the risk isn't cash flow.

1448
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:09,720
Right.

1449
01:44:09,820 --> 01:44:10,920
And then you may get another kid.

1450
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:15,740
When the risk pool is larger, which is what you're having to read your school district,

1451
01:44:16,140 --> 01:44:22,340
then everybody is absorbed in all of the scenarios that we look at.

1452
01:44:22,600 --> 01:44:26,960
Warwick is, I don't want to say comes out winners, but in terms of the assessment,

1453
01:44:27,220 --> 01:44:31,000
their assessments are lower than anyone else because our numbers are smaller.

1454
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:36,080
I mean, it's the percentage of your kids and the pool of all the kids.

1455
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:42,300
I mean, the percentage of what we pay for education in our town, it's all driven on a time-by-five year-atch.

1456
01:44:42,860 --> 01:44:48,100
So I would want to speak before I took that fully. I'd want to see that full study that included

1457
01:44:48,540 --> 01:44:54,740
all of the expenses that are in the town, but also all of the chapter 70 revenue that don't get

1458
01:44:54,740 --> 01:44:58,580
and look at it all together. And I don't think any of the studies did that.

1459
01:44:58,580 --> 01:44:59,920
We want it to be its own network.

1460
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,980
No, I think we might not have time on that. By the way, I guess my two cents. People should be thinking about that, because I think about that a lot. Yeah, I don't. We do have all this. And we have the sustainability and the feasibility. And I disagree respectfully that we can't continue what we're doing. Absolutely. We don't have the autonomy in terms of our own stupidity, but I think we have a voice. And I think we be part of a very positive way.

1461
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:37,320
experience that might go for, I don't know, 20 years, 15 years? I don't know. So you do have

1462
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:45,740
an end in school, this district keeps saying, let's say I will handle it. Let's do the whole process

1463
01:45:45,740 --> 01:45:53,360
thing because Carol has a hard stop in the seven minutes. Yeah, I do too. I know there was one

1464
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:59,080
of us. We have left a lot of items on the table, so it has to be done.

1465
01:45:59,980 --> 01:46:10,400
So I suppose my first question is is I've got two questions one okay with over here. No, no, I just want to get a face

1466
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:19,600
I mean I think we need to have a voice for the rest of the town relatively soon in terms of where we are on six town

1467
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:24,480
And then we can probably continue some work on providing information to the rest of the town

1468
01:46:24,480 --> 01:46:27,300
What if regardless of what are our voices?

1469
01:46:28,300 --> 01:46:35,860
And whether or not we take a vote up or down or whatever, I think that that's just the beginning of what we should do for the town regarding six town.

1470
01:46:36,340 --> 01:46:38,140
Then we've also got items here.

1471
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:41,040
Carol didn't finish a report.

1472
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:43,360
We've got a few other items.

1473
01:46:43,480 --> 01:46:44,460
Forget some policies coming up.

1474
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:45,580
Is there some it for me?

1475
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:46,700
Again, that's Wednesday.

1476
01:46:46,820 --> 01:46:48,020
I suppose it's the first question.

1477
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,520
No, no, no,

1478
01:46:55,750 --> 01:46:56,830
I cannot.

1479
01:46:58,230 --> 01:46:59,830
What is the way that I cannot?

1480
01:47:01,630 --> 01:47:02,950
Is that the 24th?

1481
01:47:02,990 --> 01:47:04,550
So 24th, yeah, it's amazing.

1482
01:47:07,940 --> 01:47:09,200
And then Diane's up for them.

1483
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:10,440
It's so long.

1484
01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:12,420
No, that's why I'm just spending.

1485
01:47:12,620 --> 01:47:16,080
So just so you know, it's said probably October 2nd,

1486
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:18,240
where there'll be a presentation here.

1487
01:47:18,780 --> 01:47:21,140
And then I'm trying to do a Natal haul.

1488
01:47:21,140 --> 01:47:24,740
maybe the ninth or something, just so that they have to.

1489
01:47:25,440 --> 01:47:28,060
And for process, particularly for section

1490
01:47:28,060 --> 01:47:29,860
of the legislative groups that have an open mind,

1491
01:47:30,220 --> 01:47:34,560
I would think after the presentations heard of that,

1492
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:36,860
the school committee, that's a good time.

1493
01:47:37,140 --> 01:47:39,700
In my opinion, that's a good time to take a position.

1494
01:47:40,380 --> 01:47:43,560
You can take a position before that, but I don't know.

1495
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:46,420
I guess you can't.

1496
01:47:46,820 --> 01:47:47,580
I was just thinking.

1497
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:57,660
is that you're presenting about the proposal. Yeah the proposal and yeah and by the way it's

1498
01:47:57,660 --> 01:48:06,640
on the website. It's sent to everybody's own link. Yeah so it's cool. The voice, female students

1499
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:14,060
is and you can stop it, you can move it back, you go and lay around it. Yeah so you know and that's

1500
01:48:14,060 --> 01:48:25,500
pretty much what is there. I am not going to talk very little about that. We need one about us,

1501
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:31,000
so I will be looking at trying to address issues which is why I went last night to hear what people

1502
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:35,080
had to say and why it's really important for me to hear what people are thinking.

1503
01:48:37,340 --> 01:48:42,540
So I suppose the next state I would ask them, is there anything that has to be dealt with before?

1504
01:48:42,540 --> 01:48:45,180
or the next day I have available if it's a Wednesday,

1505
01:48:45,500 --> 01:48:47,680
it was the 8th of October.

1506
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:50,160
Well, we're not meeting on the first.

1507
01:48:52,060 --> 01:48:52,700
I can.

1508
01:48:52,940 --> 01:48:53,500
I have the first.

1509
01:48:53,500 --> 01:48:54,600
You're just going to be in one.

1510
01:48:54,780 --> 01:48:55,460
I have the first.

1511
01:48:55,460 --> 01:48:56,320
On your calendar.

1512
01:48:56,940 --> 01:48:58,100
So that would mean the first.

1513
01:48:58,760 --> 01:48:59,600
Yeah, yeah.

1514
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:01,780
So I voted in thinking it's the first.

1515
01:49:01,940 --> 01:49:03,340
I can't make the equal 8th.

1516
01:49:04,820 --> 01:49:06,120
I'm going for it's moving with us one.

1517
01:49:07,900 --> 01:49:09,540
We're getting off schedule immediately

1518
01:49:09,540 --> 01:49:12,860
for the slip or the one for coming through.

1519
01:49:13,060 --> 01:49:14,020
I mean, when was that?

1520
01:49:14,260 --> 01:49:14,560
I don't know.

1521
01:49:14,620 --> 01:49:15,740
Do you have your calendar?

1522
01:49:15,800 --> 01:49:16,680
That's in September, right?

1523
01:49:16,860 --> 01:49:17,220
I do.

1524
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:21,020
So that would be, don't worry, you on the first end or the evening.

1525
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,260
I thought it was, it's not September 23rd,

1526
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:24,860
will we do either?

1527
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:33,140
I think the bill says, as of right now I am wide open on both

1528
01:49:33,140 --> 01:49:36,860
those days, and also available on both the sea right here,

1529
01:49:37,060 --> 01:49:37,800
so let's look right here.

1530
01:49:37,860 --> 01:49:39,000
Yeah, that's, yeah.

1531
01:49:41,420 --> 01:49:48,300
So next week, the 24th is that the only day that we determine is why is the issue the only day we can do.

1532
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:53,240
Right, if there are other days of the week, maybe we can consider that.

1533
01:49:53,500 --> 01:49:56,220
23rds of the schoolboy, a slight point meeting point,

1534
01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:59,760
and we have a follow-up and a business.

1535
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:03,020
There's the 25th Thursday.

1536
01:50:03,420 --> 01:50:05,400
The policy of the police gives chance of that.

1537
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:09,860
you're not here on Thursdays

1538
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:17,560
or what about zooming in feel good enough or no, but think about that.

1539
01:50:18,020 --> 01:50:18,240
Yeah.

1540
01:50:18,820 --> 01:50:20,460
But then also the week of use.

1541
01:50:21,060 --> 01:50:22,500
Well, what are we going to talk about?

1542
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,260
The rest of the stuff we're really talking about today.

1543
01:50:26,180 --> 01:50:28,820
Yes, we've got the rest of the stuff we didn't talk about today.

1544
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:33,800
So I'll follow the needs that Carol will be a player.

1545
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:37,040
Carol will be a player.

1546
01:50:37,220 --> 01:50:38,140
I'm sorry about that.

1547
01:50:38,300 --> 01:50:38,800
We were talking.

1548
01:50:40,020 --> 01:50:40,480
We can.

1549
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:41,680
We're going to lose out as well.

1550
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:44,060
Sorry guys.

1551
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:45,440
I don't think.

1552
01:50:46,020 --> 01:50:47,480
I'm going to bring it up at the slipboard.

1553
01:50:47,620 --> 01:50:48,080
We can anyway.

1554
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:49,440
Before we move again,

1555
01:50:49,540 --> 01:50:53,720
but Carol's looking at some redesigns for the playground for the preschool.

1556
01:50:54,540 --> 01:50:56,700
So I'll bring it up at the slipboard.

1557
01:50:56,700 --> 01:51:02,420
it will be a sketched out idea Carol and I had a brief discussion on Monday. She's looking for

1558
01:51:02,420 --> 01:51:06,960
ideas from the community so I'll just draw your way out and that's not a time to talk about it.

1559
01:51:07,300 --> 01:51:11,780
It will be on the agenda for this school. It's like we're just putting it up there.

1560
01:51:11,940 --> 01:51:15,980
That's what it's meaning. I'm Tuesday the 23rd next week. Correct. So I mean

1561
01:51:17,420 --> 01:51:25,540
Alan can't make the 24th nor could I. Miranda can't make the 24th. So I'm thinking that

1562
01:51:25,540 --> 01:51:28,120
I mean, unless we want to try and meet on Monday,

1563
01:51:28,440 --> 01:51:29,800
the next week is out.

1564
01:51:30,720 --> 01:51:33,740
And then we'll be bouncing up to Monday, all the way.

1565
01:51:34,820 --> 01:51:35,580
I'm going to point it first.

1566
01:51:36,260 --> 01:51:36,460
Thank you.

1567
01:51:36,580 --> 01:51:37,260
20 seconds.

1568
01:51:37,780 --> 01:51:38,480
20 seconds.

1569
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:39,280
I'm sorry.

1570
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:39,620
I know.

1571
01:51:41,180 --> 01:51:42,920
Yeah, there is a two between the second.

1572
01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:43,300
All right.

1573
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:44,160
One versus two.

1574
01:51:44,580 --> 01:51:45,940
What time do you have to be in the airport?

1575
01:51:48,860 --> 01:51:49,360
It's a three.

1576
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:52,460
Two or three.

1577
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:54,280
I don't want to be in the perfect.

1578
01:51:55,020 --> 01:51:55,200
OK.

1579
01:51:55,440 --> 01:51:57,100
No, no, if you meet any of the airport,

1580
01:51:57,280 --> 01:51:58,080
you're free to sign in.

1581
01:52:02,060 --> 01:52:06,400
What about like the, what about September 30th, the Tuesday?

1582
01:52:13,350 --> 01:52:17,430
I'll be gone. When do you come back?

1583
01:52:18,470 --> 01:52:22,330
I am back the evening of Monday the 6th.

1584
01:52:22,350 --> 01:52:23,930
You're not back to the 7th.

1585
01:52:24,470 --> 01:52:25,070
Where do we?

1586
01:52:27,650 --> 01:52:30,050
You can meet without me or before that.

1587
01:52:30,050 --> 01:52:34,510
We can buy a nice chair, add a nice nice chair.

1588
01:52:34,670 --> 01:52:34,690
Oh.

1589
01:52:36,190 --> 01:52:38,870
Actually, should we look here?

1590
01:52:39,010 --> 01:52:39,490
Should we look here?

1591
01:52:40,010 --> 01:52:40,070
Yeah.

1592
01:52:40,930 --> 01:52:41,190
Okay.

1593
01:52:41,570 --> 01:52:47,250
So here's a pose or idea that I need to leave everything.

1594
01:52:48,350 --> 01:52:50,270
And it hasn't been done.

1595
01:52:50,670 --> 01:52:52,410
Could it be done without being asked?

1596
01:52:52,650 --> 01:52:56,850
If you want to stay for 12 minutes, I'm so grateful.

1597
01:53:02,370 --> 01:53:05,530
We need a year away on the eighth rate, yeah I can't do that.

1598
01:53:06,270 --> 01:53:14,630
But did you need, before you go, did you need a second meeting on JFB because it's said in our minutes that we needed to do that tonight.

1599
01:53:14,870 --> 01:53:15,930
Right, so we can do that.

1600
01:53:16,050 --> 01:53:17,430
But we don't need care for you.

1601
01:53:18,210 --> 01:53:19,110
Yeah, okay.

1602
01:53:19,310 --> 01:53:19,930
That's a good idea.

1603
01:53:20,170 --> 01:53:20,290
We can.

1604
01:53:20,630 --> 01:53:22,150
Yeah, we finish up.

1605
01:53:22,610 --> 01:53:22,670
Yeah.

1606
01:53:22,670 --> 01:53:26,310
I got I got to go guys. All right. I got.

1607
01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:36,510
I didn't hear any

1608
01:53:39,590 --> 01:53:43,370
I'm going to try a second.

1609
01:53:43,690 --> 01:53:45,170
Oh, there's things like that.

1610
01:53:47,210 --> 01:53:48,030
This fight.

1611
01:53:51,710 --> 01:53:54,890
Well, on a Friday from like 4 to 6.

1612
01:53:55,950 --> 01:53:56,810
Last Friday.

1613
01:53:57,350 --> 01:53:59,790
Yeah, I'm I'm duty.

1614
01:54:00,350 --> 01:54:01,550
My grades are Friday.

1615
01:54:01,790 --> 01:54:02,970
So there wasn't be hand right from.

1616
01:54:02,970 --> 01:54:07,150
We talk about the 25th with Carol Fertre.

1617
01:54:09,910 --> 01:54:10,610
Rements.

1618
01:54:11,510 --> 01:54:12,890
Super intellectual.

1619
01:54:13,780 --> 01:54:14,310
That's right.

1620
01:54:14,670 --> 01:54:15,650
Well, we'll keep.

1621
01:54:16,670 --> 01:54:17,050
Yeah.

1622
01:54:17,530 --> 01:54:18,410
Or the rules.

1623
01:54:19,090 --> 01:54:19,270
Yeah.

1624
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:21,330
For filed rules.

1625
01:54:22,990 --> 01:54:23,490
And we should.

1626
01:54:24,130 --> 01:54:25,430
To make it easier.

1627
01:54:25,810 --> 01:54:26,330
How about that?

1628
01:54:26,490 --> 01:54:27,150
That's a progress.

1629
01:54:27,410 --> 01:54:28,070
Yeah.

1630
01:54:28,430 --> 01:54:28,590
Yeah.

1631
01:54:29,090 --> 01:54:29,590
That's not bad.

1632
01:54:44,630 --> 01:54:55,550
I'm looking at, oh, remember I said I'm looking at another date of the town hall, it's Tuesday the 7th. I'm doing a women's skill at one and then I was doing the town hall.

1633
01:55:03,550 --> 01:55:14,970
So, the question is, oh, so you turn out two presentations, October set two ends October

1634
01:55:14,970 --> 01:55:15,310
seven.

1635
01:55:16,790 --> 01:55:18,310
One here, one at a time.

1636
01:55:19,690 --> 01:55:21,010
One here, one at a time home.

1637
01:55:21,010 --> 01:55:23,670
Yeah, okay, so about Thursday and in Tuesday.

1638
01:55:23,910 --> 01:55:24,230
That's nice.

1639
01:55:24,530 --> 01:55:24,910
Seconds here.

1640
01:55:25,170 --> 01:55:25,310
Yeah.

1641
01:55:26,150 --> 01:55:28,250
Yeah, the people want to have media.

1642
01:55:28,530 --> 01:55:29,350
I don't know.

1643
01:55:31,030 --> 01:55:33,170
So I tell you who they have to say it.

1644
01:55:33,330 --> 01:55:34,890
Like, why are we name them so person?

1645
01:55:38,050 --> 01:55:38,790
Well, there's a thought.

1646
01:55:41,980 --> 01:55:44,560
Well, that's that locked in on Tuesday the 7th, doesn't it?

1647
01:55:44,860 --> 01:55:45,020
Yeah.

1648
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:49,480
I just had another thought and that if I was doing the women's

1649
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:51,860
skill, that's when I have seen her watch.

1650
01:55:57,910 --> 01:56:06,070
I'm thinking that I should do that one because I may have a lot of seniors any afternoon, maybe, not a thing.

1651
01:56:06,510 --> 01:56:07,950
So yeah, they're not going to want to do that.

1652
01:56:08,250 --> 01:56:08,650
Oh, yeah.

1653
01:56:08,810 --> 01:56:11,670
Oh, you could make October 7th an afternoon meeting.

1654
01:56:11,890 --> 01:56:12,090
Yeah.

1655
01:56:12,110 --> 01:56:12,990
That's a good idea.

1656
01:56:15,050 --> 01:56:16,130
I know that I'm having a room.

1657
01:56:16,290 --> 01:56:16,770
It's good that one.

1658
01:56:16,830 --> 01:56:18,030
The computer there on my day.

1659
01:56:18,430 --> 01:56:18,690
That's a.

1660
01:56:18,830 --> 01:56:19,090
That's a.

1661
01:56:19,390 --> 01:56:20,770
Then that's what I have in the thing.

1662
01:56:20,910 --> 01:56:23,430
If you tell them the schedule one of their guild meetings, that thing.

1663
01:56:23,430 --> 01:56:24,930
But no, Eric, I am already sitting.

1664
01:56:25,010 --> 01:56:26,710
OK, then they are going to write out to the lunch.

1665
01:56:26,910 --> 01:56:29,290
Well, why could everybody else be invited

1666
01:56:29,290 --> 01:56:30,490
to the Blooming School meeting?

1667
01:56:30,790 --> 01:56:31,410
They won't care.

1668
01:56:31,790 --> 01:56:33,050
All right, I could call and ask.

1669
01:56:33,270 --> 01:56:35,230
Yeah, you should ask, because I think

1670
01:56:35,230 --> 01:56:37,630
they would be happy to expand it out to anybody.

1671
01:56:38,110 --> 01:56:40,230
When I do that, you know, I'm sort of a little bit

1672
01:56:40,230 --> 01:56:41,870
happy if they're asked.

1673
01:56:42,410 --> 01:56:42,950
Oh, yeah.

1674
01:56:43,130 --> 01:56:44,330
Yeah, you don't ask.

1675
01:56:44,330 --> 01:56:45,210
No, no, no...

1676
01:56:45,210 --> 01:56:46,330
I've got to be asking for a chance.

1677
01:56:46,330 --> 01:56:47,430
I thought, yeah, it's Thames.

1678
01:56:47,710 --> 01:56:49,010
Can you hear me?

1679
01:56:49,010 --> 01:56:49,530
I just thought you were on the right track.

1680
01:56:49,770 --> 01:56:52,170
When you came to them, about six town regional,

1681
01:56:52,590 --> 01:56:54,210
you just make it a big omelyding.

1682
01:56:54,890 --> 01:56:56,990
You know, about how many people are in the women's guild?

1683
01:56:58,150 --> 01:56:58,850
I have no worries.

1684
01:56:59,190 --> 01:56:59,790
Not that I'm not.

1685
01:56:59,850 --> 01:57:03,570
Any self defined women who live in woe

1686
01:57:03,570 --> 01:57:05,290
are technically in the women's guild.

1687
01:57:05,550 --> 01:57:06,890
That's how it's been told to me.

1688
01:57:07,050 --> 01:57:07,450
Show up.

1689
01:57:07,690 --> 01:57:08,970
But it's whoever shows up.

1690
01:57:09,410 --> 01:57:09,710
I would.

1691
01:57:10,210 --> 01:57:11,750
I'm saving her from 18.

1692
01:57:11,950 --> 01:57:12,270
I'm saving her from 18.

1693
01:57:12,330 --> 01:57:12,590
She's about 18.

1694
01:57:12,830 --> 01:57:13,990
The people may show up.

1695
01:57:15,910 --> 01:57:28,190
Yeah, but if you need to move from me, see, there's a lot of men are going to see me out there's me, there's a lot of people who are, so does that open us up for meeting that afternoon?

1696
01:57:29,530 --> 01:57:30,510
Is that what happened?

1697
01:57:31,170 --> 01:57:33,250
100% of my own and that was what we did.

1698
01:57:34,130 --> 01:57:43,510
I mean, none of the other committee, none of the other board may be able to come in, but I don't think he works. He works. Oh, I see. I hope you do.

1699
01:57:44,250 --> 01:57:47,610
And that was going to be, well, let me work.

1700
01:57:48,850 --> 01:57:51,570
Right, but that is going to be more of a conversation.

1701
01:57:52,610 --> 01:57:58,030
Well, maybe the whole thing may be without a presentation, okay, because they said to me,

1702
01:57:58,790 --> 01:58:04,890
could we talk about it if not have like a formal presentation and I said, okay, let me

1703
01:58:04,890 --> 01:58:07,030
think about how that might go.

1704
01:58:07,330 --> 01:58:08,250
So that's a possibility.

1705
01:58:08,410 --> 01:58:12,510
If you want to post it, if I make it, I make it, if I don't, I don't.

1706
01:58:12,510 --> 01:58:12,970
For the seventh.

1707
01:58:13,430 --> 01:58:13,930
The seventh.

1708
01:58:14,210 --> 01:58:16,190
If everyone else is saying you can make it.

1709
01:58:16,750 --> 01:58:17,630
I'll check with that.

1710
01:58:17,850 --> 01:58:18,810
I don't think we got that.

1711
01:58:18,950 --> 01:58:19,010
Okay.

1712
01:58:19,010 --> 01:58:22,190
All right, so we can get back to them.

1713
01:58:22,330 --> 01:58:26,350
I mean, you guys didn't get more business today.

1714
01:58:26,570 --> 01:58:28,190
I've got a group to talk about.

1715
01:58:28,610 --> 01:58:30,570
So yeah, I got to go.

1716
01:58:31,190 --> 01:58:33,250
I don't think so.

1717
01:58:33,390 --> 01:58:34,590
But you have one policy.

1718
01:58:35,930 --> 01:58:36,410
Yeah.

1719
01:58:38,670 --> 01:58:39,610
That is.

1720
01:58:40,690 --> 01:58:41,650
With that.

1721
01:58:41,990 --> 01:58:43,350
That is the cultural spouse.

1722
01:58:45,730 --> 01:58:47,970
And I read this very thoroughly.

1723
01:58:47,970 --> 01:58:52,430
and I thought it was pretty good, the school church policy.

1724
01:58:52,870 --> 01:58:54,610
The only thing that was interesting,

1725
01:58:56,490 --> 01:58:58,690
this is the one that we've said it at our premiums.

1726
01:58:59,730 --> 01:59:02,190
The one that we've said it at our premiums.

1727
01:59:02,190 --> 01:59:05,310
This is the only one that we said we need to follow up on.

1728
01:59:06,150 --> 01:59:09,170
I have to be reading the attendance, honestly.

1729
01:59:11,190 --> 01:59:13,450
No, no, there are many problems with that.

1730
01:59:13,450 --> 01:59:15,390
Yeah, but not even that's up.

1731
01:59:16,310 --> 01:59:17,610
And I hope she reaches out.

1732
01:59:17,630 --> 01:59:18,690
I'm sure she will have to invest

1733
01:59:18,690 --> 01:59:20,550
to see what they're thinking.

1734
01:59:21,170 --> 01:59:23,630
They'll build a plan needs of a real thing, you know.

1735
01:59:23,810 --> 01:59:24,590
Yeah, yeah.

1736
01:59:26,430 --> 01:59:27,950
So you know what I read this?

1737
01:59:28,090 --> 01:59:30,050
It was an interesting thing that,

1738
01:59:30,150 --> 01:59:33,110
and I don't have a computer to go on and see,

1739
01:59:34,210 --> 01:59:37,570
I've always had the understanding that

1740
01:59:37,570 --> 01:59:47,370
that enter district school choice law was when you found kids in a district, in the

1741
01:59:47,370 --> 01:59:52,090
same district, be able to go from school to school.

1742
01:59:52,310 --> 01:59:53,890
That would be in drop, wouldn't it?

1743
01:59:55,490 --> 01:59:56,810
It would be in drop.

1744
01:59:57,230 --> 01:59:58,110
I think you're right.

1745
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:29,700
And I highlight, like, what am I missing here? So, I think this is, this policy is, I didn't see any problems with it. It was interesting about some. I may first. And we seem to get around that. It says any remain or subsequent open seats will be filled on the first, come, first serve basis, and will remain open until May 15th and that may feel themed. They just, we just automatically, I guess, are.

1746
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:36,140
That's how I'm sure it's not common to share it, yeah, yeah, it's close, but even if you don't have,

1747
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:41,520
even if you didn't fill all the seats that you're often. Right, yeah, we had it, we sort of had an exception to

1748
02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:43,940
should make the end of it because we got our,

1749
02:00:46,490 --> 02:00:49,470
well, we made a coping until May 15th and then we're not going to let

1750
02:00:49,470 --> 02:00:54,710
people in for the past month. Right, so it makes you whatever, but it talks that we did, yeah, we did it

1751
02:00:54,710 --> 02:00:59,390
differently because it was like, they said on around January 15th, every school district

1752
02:00:59,950 --> 02:01:04,970
and on and around January 15th, the administration will determine which seats might be available.

1753
02:01:06,310 --> 02:01:10,130
Well, we just were able to, we just open solutions.

1754
02:01:10,470 --> 02:01:12,170
Right, so initially we did not.

1755
02:01:12,870 --> 02:01:17,470
But you can go back and open them if you've already voted to get them close.

1756
02:01:18,670 --> 02:01:20,310
You just can't do it the other way around.

1757
02:01:20,430 --> 02:01:21,130
We can't say it.

1758
02:01:21,130 --> 02:01:22,650
You can't open seats in the vote limit.

1759
02:01:22,870 --> 02:01:25,350
We change your month before May 15th.

1760
02:01:25,350 --> 02:01:32,010
because we, we've, so did you, did you read that to, and can you, so which one they're going to be?

1761
02:01:32,210 --> 02:01:33,130
January or the day?

1762
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:42,420
The, the January one that on around we do all that stuff, we go get our openings, we want to fill our openings,

1763
02:01:43,180 --> 02:01:51,520
we post it, we look, everything goes along until the May 15th at which point the seniors that we said will,

1764
02:01:52,100 --> 02:01:54,200
they were made open until that date,

1765
02:01:54,520 --> 02:01:57,620
then it may first were done all of seats

1766
02:01:57,620 --> 02:01:59,800
like the way I jerked that, they're all closed.

1767
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:03,080
May 15th, May 15th, May 15th,

1768
02:02:03,100 --> 02:02:03,980
or May 15th, all of them.

1769
02:02:05,020 --> 02:02:07,680
I did the board, that's always like all of them.

1770
02:02:07,700 --> 02:02:09,420
So basically, what we did,

1771
02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:11,900
we went back and changed our vote

1772
02:02:12,300 --> 02:02:15,260
that we had done for number one.

1773
02:02:15,920 --> 02:02:19,120
Change, we did it, and then we'll retake it.

1774
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:25,300
And so we, I guess what I was saying, we sort of like just, we did what we did.

1775
02:02:26,260 --> 02:02:32,640
And I like, you know, I think, like, well, sometimes, I was just trying to play out,

1776
02:02:32,900 --> 02:02:36,960
then we're going to be careful. They sent around, they're like, look at the, the,

1777
02:02:37,320 --> 02:02:43,100
the jade Murray and then, yeah, filament made. Do you want a concern at those dates about the January?

1778
02:02:43,200 --> 02:02:46,960
No, I think they're, I mean, they're, they're, like, they're embedded right in the law.

1779
02:02:46,960 --> 02:02:52,780
they're in the law so um I was just we got used to doing something we did something once

1780
02:02:52,780 --> 02:03:00,060
and just let's be aware and we got permission uh I think we get permission to to do the dates

1781
02:03:00,060 --> 02:03:05,660
differently this year because no no it was just that it was like was when it was initiated so it

1782
02:03:05,660 --> 02:03:10,540
just had to start okay we're starting a different time and we just we had an opening for our

1783
02:03:10,540 --> 02:03:15,560
far. Are we recording? Yeah. Once you had it all made from our heart, we had the ability to do

1784
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:17,520
school choice without damaging ourselves.

1785
02:03:20,430 --> 02:03:23,090
Yeah. So that's all. So there are anything. Yeah.

1786
02:03:23,230 --> 02:03:27,890
We need to change policies. First descent to terminate if there's anything else we want to add.

1787
02:03:27,950 --> 02:03:32,870
Right. No, we're able to. So that was a little bit. We approved it as ready. So what we wanted to

1788
02:03:32,870 --> 02:03:39,450
do is reaffirm. Yeah. Is that how we put it on the agenda? We said it was a second reading. I

1789
02:03:39,450 --> 02:03:42,310
the second reading but we adopted it last time.

1790
02:03:42,350 --> 02:03:44,250
Oh, so we're affirming it.

1791
02:03:44,390 --> 02:03:45,530
So we're affirming it.

1792
02:03:45,590 --> 02:03:47,350
We're affirming it.

1793
02:03:47,350 --> 02:03:49,030
Yeah, we've got to that.

1794
02:03:49,070 --> 02:03:51,030
That being the English, so the third policy,

1795
02:03:52,250 --> 02:03:53,410
JFBB school choice.

1796
02:03:53,790 --> 02:03:53,870
Right.

1797
02:03:54,170 --> 02:03:54,970
And is there a second?

1798
02:03:55,670 --> 02:03:56,050
Second.

1799
02:03:56,610 --> 02:03:56,930
Second.

1800
02:03:58,350 --> 02:03:59,110
Any further discussion?

1801
02:03:59,410 --> 02:04:00,430
You still oral, correct?

1802
02:04:00,690 --> 02:04:00,830
Yes.

1803
02:04:01,890 --> 02:04:02,410
For all of us.

1804
02:04:02,450 --> 02:04:03,370
We're at a private school.

1805
02:04:03,670 --> 02:04:04,070
I guess we're wrong.

1806
02:04:04,890 --> 02:04:06,090
Any further discussion?

1807
02:04:06,910 --> 02:04:07,030
No.

1808
02:04:07,570 --> 02:04:07,870
No, right?

1809
02:04:07,870 --> 02:04:09,110
All my favorites, you know?

1810
02:04:09,270 --> 02:04:10,950
I do that.

1811
02:04:11,310 --> 02:04:12,350
And we're all in person now.

1812
02:04:12,990 --> 02:04:13,970
You just take the slope.

1813
02:04:15,290 --> 02:04:15,490
Okay.

1814
02:04:17,010 --> 02:04:18,410
All right, then do you want to just,

1815
02:04:18,570 --> 02:04:20,430
just before we wrap up.

1816
02:04:21,130 --> 02:04:22,870
Share what you're thinking and what,

1817
02:04:23,010 --> 02:04:24,950
what our process should be on.

1818
02:04:26,210 --> 02:04:29,430
The six down and how we as a committee.

1819
02:04:30,290 --> 02:04:31,550
How would you like to see us?

1820
02:04:31,650 --> 02:04:32,650
Yeah, that'd be very helpful.

1821
02:04:32,890 --> 02:04:33,830
Yeah, I'm asking that.

1822
02:04:33,830 --> 02:04:41,730
Yeah, and of course, I'm just making this up. So it is certainly I'm going to let it marinate for a while, but I

1823
02:04:42,870 --> 02:04:43,670
think that

1824
02:04:44,590 --> 02:04:58,050
I think it's important that at some point you come out with a statement that the school committee has discussed that, you know, at length, and has wanted to support or not support the town's going to want to know what's the school town's going to want to know.

1825
02:04:59,550 --> 02:05:06,470
But I would love to add to that and we will continue to provide information to the town

1826
02:05:06,870 --> 02:05:12,690
and then look for avenues to provide information specifically as it relates to Warwick.

1827
02:05:13,270 --> 02:05:18,730
Because the 6th town, you know, where your role as a committee, you provide information on the 6th town, the whole project.

1828
02:05:19,190 --> 02:05:26,810
I think it's really important for our school committee to provide information about how the 6th town in our current situation

1829
02:05:28,800 --> 02:05:30,980
and focus really on a current situation.

1830
02:05:31,500 --> 02:05:32,600
We're running a school.

1831
02:05:33,220 --> 02:05:35,080
These are the options that are available to our students.

1832
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:36,000
This is how it works.

1833
02:05:36,380 --> 02:05:38,320
This is how it would change of six-town.

1834
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:39,360
No.

1835
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:39,980
What a pass.

1836
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:41,820
Yeah. Now I would feel better.

1837
02:05:42,060 --> 02:05:43,400
And you don't have to make me feel better.

1838
02:05:43,740 --> 02:05:52,460
But I would like you to look at it from a lens of how good could this do.

1839
02:05:52,820 --> 02:05:53,120
You know what?

1840
02:05:53,540 --> 02:05:54,880
How would this be good for well?

1841
02:05:57,180 --> 02:05:59,800
And here's how, here are the benefits we see from it.

1842
02:06:00,560 --> 02:06:04,240
And here are the things that we think are not benefits or here.

1843
02:06:04,380 --> 02:06:08,140
Here's what we think where we're able to do better or we're able to,

1844
02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:09,820
where is heck to go, whatever.

1845
02:06:10,020 --> 02:06:10,540
And I think so.

1846
02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:14,120
Probably need to work on a language that works for all of us with that.

1847
02:06:14,260 --> 02:06:15,940
Because in my mind, I'm thinking, all right.

1848
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:18,760
Because it's just the regional agreement we're voting on.

1849
02:06:19,980 --> 02:06:21,960
Here are the potential benefits.

1850
02:06:23,120 --> 02:06:28,380
based on what the current 6-town board envisions.

1851
02:06:28,700 --> 02:06:29,680
That's a good way to put it.

1852
02:06:29,820 --> 02:06:34,900
Here are the risks based on all the other.

1853
02:06:35,780 --> 02:06:38,760
But I think that it's really important that people know

1854
02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:40,820
that what they're voting on is the region.

1855
02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:43,220
So I would ask this on my website.

1856
02:06:44,280 --> 02:06:46,620
I spent a long time writing a line range plan

1857
02:06:46,620 --> 02:06:49,860
to the little things that go places for it.

1858
02:06:49,860 --> 02:06:54,940
It's only 16 pages, but it was required for me to get it to Desi.

1859
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:58,880
So I think, and then I had the playing board read it and give me input.

1860
02:06:59,420 --> 02:07:05,460
So I think if you looked at that, that's sort of like the vision of what this might look

1861
02:07:05,460 --> 02:07:05,720
like.

1862
02:07:06,420 --> 02:07:06,560
Yeah.

1863
02:07:06,860 --> 02:07:08,740
It's about, it should be.

1864
02:07:10,740 --> 02:07:13,720
I was going to make copies and bring it because I thought, no, I don't.

1865
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:18,080
But it was just given to Desi a week ago.

1866
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:22,040
Well, you know, I could stand in relations of it.

1867
02:07:22,460 --> 02:07:25,740
And I was required to say, no, I think I...

1868
02:07:25,740 --> 02:07:27,640
As the chair of the planning board,

1869
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:29,360
you were required to provide this document?

1870
02:07:29,960 --> 02:07:32,880
Yeah, it was part of the process of desi review.

1871
02:07:34,240 --> 02:07:36,220
And I explained to them that,

1872
02:07:37,800 --> 02:07:40,100
you know, normally when I did a one-way play it,

1873
02:07:40,140 --> 02:07:43,120
it involved a lot of people and different people

1874
02:07:43,120 --> 02:07:45,480
having been raised up because it's a strategic report.

1875
02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:47,000
Do you know where it would be?

1876
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:53,660
is further in the reports page that's in the long range plan do a search

1877
02:07:53,660 --> 02:08:01,140
for and it might be on a different is there a report page the reports page

1878
02:08:01,140 --> 02:08:13,100
has nothing newer than 2023 and then this is good great and I ask them when he

1879
02:08:13,100 --> 02:08:18,840
sent it to Dessie to send it to Bessie of Durinda Belfast.

1880
02:08:18,940 --> 02:08:21,460
That's a good reason for that on our website.

1881
02:08:22,860 --> 02:08:23,420
So, Alan?

1882
02:08:23,620 --> 02:08:24,680
Yeah, it sounds like it's working.

1883
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:28,140
You are expecting the select board to do the same.

1884
02:08:28,340 --> 02:08:33,060
You should be giving keys to the head, itself, with a hand.

1885
02:08:33,500 --> 02:08:34,040
No, no, yes.

1886
02:08:34,420 --> 02:08:37,300
You're up to speed all this, and I'm up to speed on this, and he is not.

1887
02:08:37,580 --> 02:08:37,700
Yeah.

1888
02:08:37,940 --> 02:08:40,300
You'd be fair to him and give him time if you're looking.

1889
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:41,600
I'm just saying.

1890
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:41,880
No.

1891
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:48,160
I don't want to deliberate it now. I think it's the last next meeting that I ought to go over the regional

1892
02:08:48,160 --> 02:08:55,300
agreement and, you know, and invite and you know, feedback and so forth. I mean, this, we're talking about the

1893
02:08:55,300 --> 02:09:04,180
slide board right now. Okay, and so that is on Tuesday. Yes. Yeah, and I'm trying to be really careful about

1894
02:09:04,180 --> 02:09:32,480
I'd be nice if World War II says we think we would like November 8th or whatever, but I'm not asking them to pick a date right now because when I went officially as a plan for it has been talking about a specific date, but what I need to do is back into that date because when the planning board votes to

1895
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:40,200
um, to have this to request that this is on a warm. Then the town, the, the towns that have

1896
02:09:40,200 --> 02:09:48,740
an open town meeting will have 30 a.m.s to do it. So I, I'm gonna do that and, and go backwards

1897
02:09:48,740 --> 02:09:57,160
from whatever day they pick. And for monitoring, it has to be 35 days, but no more than 50. So,

1898
02:09:57,160 --> 02:10:03,120
So, I mean, when I put those requests out, I'm going to try to align with when people are

1899
02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:03,640
ahead of the time.

1900
02:10:03,900 --> 02:10:04,720
I understand that.

1901
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:07,040
And that's an important issue.

1902
02:10:07,500 --> 02:10:12,460
The other thing I'm saying is if you're expecting keys publicly, as a part of a board

1903
02:10:12,460 --> 02:10:16,980
at different board, you're asking this board to make a recommendation, one way or the

1904
02:10:16,980 --> 02:10:21,740
other, expecting to select board to do that, you need to get the key to the heads up so

1905
02:10:21,740 --> 02:10:25,980
that he has all the documents and look at them because you and I can't share that with

1906
02:10:25,980 --> 02:10:26,140
them.

1907
02:10:26,140 --> 02:10:30,480
Yeah, I certainly send to him the same thing that I sent to the folks

1908
02:10:30,480 --> 02:10:34,200
David is by the Tuesday that I sent it to the group if you think it's helpful

1909
02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:39,700
and the sheriff's committee just send the information to him I can do that

1910
02:10:39,700 --> 02:10:46,580
Yeah, I would and that way if he feels the fact because he's relies on you and I to do a lot of this because he's busy with a lot of the things

1911
02:10:46,580 --> 02:10:50,180
Uh, he said no he does he took the on that whole

1912
02:10:50,180 --> 02:10:54,700
Well, I'm a communication thing and I get competitive, but so I look for this even him.

1913
02:10:54,820 --> 02:10:56,520
Yeah, I know. Would you send him the information?

1914
02:10:56,620 --> 02:11:01,380
Yeah, and it looks like you're looking for hope, the bear kind of thing with the slight board.

1915
02:11:01,700 --> 02:11:04,720
Please let him know the extra speed by a certain date.

1916
02:11:05,220 --> 02:11:09,260
Right. So, to that end, you should date, we sent everything to baby.

1917
02:11:09,620 --> 02:11:13,220
David is supposed to send all the things we just talked about to the slight board.

1918
02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:15,700
Okay. So, so Keith should have it.

1919
02:11:15,780 --> 02:11:18,120
I know. If you don't have it, I need to know.

1920
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:20,820
Well, I get a lot of, I get a lot of redundancies

1921
02:11:20,820 --> 02:11:21,680
that I'm sitting here.

1922
02:11:21,900 --> 02:11:23,200
So I just want to make sure to keep you in your point,

1923
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:25,360
though, since it was a town vote,

1924
02:11:25,620 --> 02:11:27,660
there's what I invented for the select board.

1925
02:11:28,160 --> 02:11:31,180
The select board as a whole doesn't take a position on it.

1926
02:11:31,260 --> 02:11:31,680
Okay, good.

1927
02:11:32,660 --> 02:11:36,080
Individually, people can as citizens or whatever.

1928
02:11:36,260 --> 02:11:37,020
Oh, I'm not worried about something.

1929
02:11:37,220 --> 02:11:37,620
You know what I'm saying?

1930
02:11:37,980 --> 02:11:39,040
You speak how they feel.

1931
02:11:40,500 --> 02:11:43,100
But it just seems like it was formed by the towns

1932
02:11:43,100 --> 02:11:45,740
with the towns to do the feasibility setting

1933
02:11:45,740 --> 02:11:48,900
and presented, then it's up to the voter.

1934
02:11:49,260 --> 02:11:51,140
So it's now so many things different.

1935
02:11:51,740 --> 02:11:54,920
So I have a question that you're backing into

1936
02:11:54,920 --> 02:11:57,020
and the dates that you were talking about.

1937
02:11:57,260 --> 02:11:58,860
Is that the voting?

1938
02:11:59,000 --> 02:11:59,540
No, it will be the vote.

1939
02:11:59,820 --> 02:12:00,580
I gotta go with it.

1940
02:12:00,620 --> 02:12:01,900
No, it's not.

1941
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:02,940
What was I going to bring?

1942
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:06,120
I thought that the time it was November 15th.

1943
02:12:06,140 --> 02:12:06,980
For a town vote.

1944
02:12:08,810 --> 02:12:09,950
For a town vote.

1945
02:12:10,110 --> 02:12:10,210
Right.

1946
02:12:11,630 --> 02:12:13,550
For all four towns to vote.

1947
02:12:13,950 --> 02:12:15,390
I don't think that's an ask.

1948
02:12:15,390 --> 02:12:17,150
No, that's not how it works.

1949
02:12:17,550 --> 02:12:21,910
So, like, Northfield may not pick the 50, they might pick the 8.

1950
02:12:22,230 --> 02:12:23,130
Nobody's picked the 8.

1951
02:12:23,270 --> 02:12:25,290
Yes, it was where they might need to pick the 11.

1952
02:12:25,710 --> 02:12:27,470
And the more I thought about that, I thought.

1953
02:12:27,530 --> 02:12:30,350
I don't know if that's a wise choice, but it is what it is.

1954
02:12:30,430 --> 02:12:35,730
It seems a little similar in terms of the process of informing the community.

1955
02:12:36,950 --> 02:12:39,890
At the same time, you're looking for a vote.

1956
02:12:40,030 --> 02:12:41,810
You want things wrapped up by December, right?

1957
02:12:42,070 --> 02:12:42,610
It has to be.

1958
02:12:42,610 --> 02:12:50,990
because if it was, if it were to be voting, then the commission has until December 30th to say it.

1959
02:12:51,730 --> 02:12:56,670
Okay, so must the drop did date for having a town vote?

1960
02:12:57,950 --> 02:13:04,350
A town vote sometime in November except one of you who has had a special election.

1961
02:13:05,030 --> 02:13:08,670
So that idea of having it all happen together.

1962
02:13:08,670 --> 02:13:10,410
And one day, they just went out to win.

1963
02:13:10,630 --> 02:13:10,770
Right.

1964
02:13:12,030 --> 02:13:14,370
And that's because I started getting into the weeds

1965
02:13:14,370 --> 02:13:15,730
to have understanding more about,

1966
02:13:15,970 --> 02:13:17,490
whoa, representative government,

1967
02:13:17,670 --> 02:13:19,350
they have a different, different one.

1968
02:13:19,630 --> 02:13:19,850
Yeah.

1969
02:13:20,210 --> 02:13:21,490
I think that's the same.

1970
02:13:22,450 --> 02:13:24,630
So, we could have our vote first.

1971
02:13:26,850 --> 02:13:29,290
Well, the problem with that, you know,

1972
02:13:29,410 --> 02:13:30,450
it happens like that happens,

1973
02:13:30,490 --> 02:13:31,790
but really, the problem with that is,

1974
02:13:32,110 --> 02:13:33,890
the idea of having a vote of the same day

1975
02:13:33,890 --> 02:13:37,210
is there'd be more vote of the best battle.

1976
02:13:37,210 --> 02:13:41,430
and then there would be less political pressures or whatever.

1977
02:13:41,870 --> 02:13:44,970
So we get more information because I want the information.

1978
02:13:45,370 --> 02:13:49,070
So if it fails, then when I'm writing to the state

1979
02:13:49,070 --> 02:13:52,370
about the process and what needs to be taken

1980
02:13:52,370 --> 02:13:55,130
into consideration and what the concerns were,

1981
02:13:55,930 --> 02:13:58,990
and what the communities and other things should be provided.

1982
02:14:00,770 --> 02:14:04,330
So you envision the process then to summarize,

1983
02:14:04,550 --> 02:14:05,010
what do you have?

1984
02:14:05,010 --> 02:14:22,070
So that's what we should vote on on the process on, you know, that the school committee should do a vote on how we stand, but that we should also continue to provide information.

1985
02:14:22,070 --> 02:14:26,310
and got chaically as a six-town.

1986
02:14:26,510 --> 02:14:29,290
Yeah, it was a look at the effect that you needed in the capture.

1987
02:14:29,290 --> 02:14:31,430
Yeah, I have captured that.

1988
02:14:31,430 --> 02:14:33,810
Yes, we'd love to provide that information.

1989
02:14:35,810 --> 02:14:37,850
We need to be working on that now.

1990
02:14:38,970 --> 02:14:40,530
So one of the things I was wondering is,

1991
02:14:41,190 --> 02:14:45,790
if, as a group, if it's wanted to take a different perspective

1992
02:14:45,790 --> 02:14:48,030
and put together a complementing action,

1993
02:14:49,170 --> 02:14:50,430
But, could you explain that more?

1994
02:14:53,530 --> 02:14:54,890
I know exactly what you're saying.

1995
02:14:55,230 --> 02:14:55,830
Yeah, this is that funny.

1996
02:14:56,370 --> 02:14:56,550
I know.

1997
02:14:57,150 --> 02:14:57,370
I know.

1998
02:14:57,510 --> 02:14:57,630
I feel it.

1999
02:14:57,830 --> 02:14:58,130
I feel it.

2000
02:14:58,130 --> 02:14:58,490
I feel it.

2001
02:14:58,490 --> 02:14:58,990
I feel it.

2002
02:14:58,990 --> 02:14:59,930
So I'm about to have a look.

2003
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:29,440
But effect, I see transportation, yes. Okay. How would it affect the budget? How would affect the curriculum, the elementary school? How would affect staffing of the elementary school? How would affect access to high school curricula? You know, so how, that, you know, we had our retreat, you say, well, that will be a little awkward. This is our little awkward. So, does, am I likely descending in the Supreme Court, you know,

2004
02:15:29,440 --> 02:15:31,160
The decision you'll pay new?

2005
02:15:31,160 --> 02:15:32,740
You are the decisions I need.

2006
02:15:32,860 --> 02:15:34,060
And I didn't.

2007
02:15:34,180 --> 02:15:37,440
And I just ran just going in different directions and say no.

2008
02:15:37,900 --> 02:15:39,780
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I wasn't gonna pay you.

2009
02:15:41,120 --> 02:15:42,880
So, has that feel Alan?

2010
02:15:43,220 --> 02:15:45,540
No, I have tried to, six years at work.

2011
02:15:45,600 --> 02:15:47,340
We worked really hard here, didn't we?

2012
02:15:47,340 --> 02:15:48,760
I watched for a really good tip ago.

2013
02:15:49,880 --> 02:15:52,460
But no, I have-so when I just.

2014
02:15:53,860 --> 02:15:56,400
Accrescent to, okay, this is how the others feel.

2015
02:15:56,580 --> 02:15:57,340
And just not.

2016
02:15:57,340 --> 02:16:02,160
because I think it's fine to be fine saying that this looking at he has decided not to support

2017
02:16:02,160 --> 02:16:07,960
about it. Oh, that's what I was saying. I understand that. But it wasn't yes. Part of it wasn't

2018
02:16:07,960 --> 02:16:12,020
yes. And we could have different pieces of, you know, like you said, you were looking for pros and

2019
02:16:12,020 --> 02:16:18,100
cons. Well, perhaps you're writing the pro. Right. Well, and I think if we are not sensitive

2020
02:16:18,100 --> 02:16:24,400
to the court way, I think it is valuable to report the numbers where it's like, you know, whatever.

2021
02:16:24,400 --> 02:16:29,380
Yeah, for a firm this decision. We have one dissenting opinion because I think that's

2022
02:16:31,400 --> 02:16:33,780
That's that's now when we do that

2023
02:16:37,800 --> 02:16:41,300
So what was those areas again? I've got transportation budget

2024
02:16:42,240 --> 02:16:45,320
Staffing here staffing at the secondary level

2025
02:16:46,860 --> 02:16:52,200
We don't have to nail it down right now. I think look at all the material and then see what your passion is or wait

2026
02:16:52,200 --> 02:16:57,360
We feel that like, you know, that you have a particular diversity.

2027
02:16:57,700 --> 02:16:58,460
Okay, that's good.

2028
02:16:58,680 --> 02:17:00,480
I'm always a whole picture person.

2029
02:17:00,600 --> 02:17:00,860
Me too.

2030
02:17:01,180 --> 02:17:02,940
But I cannot go with that.

2031
02:17:03,240 --> 02:17:04,240
And thank you for sticking with me.

2032
02:17:04,240 --> 02:17:07,960
Yes, we need to go out and say all right to somebody who hasn't been studying

2033
02:17:07,960 --> 02:17:08,560
like we have.

2034
02:17:08,580 --> 02:17:10,120
What types of questions do you have?

2035
02:17:10,800 --> 02:17:12,820
I haven't really been studying yet.

2036
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:14,540
I feel like I freshen up.

2037
02:17:17,420 --> 02:17:19,320
And particularly people who have kids.

2038
02:17:20,720 --> 02:17:32,380
Yeah, I want to know how the kids feel about it. Yeah, and Carol is working on a survey for folks just in terms of what they want in a high school, how they feel about their current high school and what they look for.

2039
02:17:33,360 --> 02:17:41,420
Yeah, put that on the next agenda, I hope, because I wrote questions down that I thought she should like when you want to put on the next agenda.

2040
02:17:43,020 --> 02:17:51,860
The survey was in her room. She had a survey that she wanted to put out to kids and to parents in

2041
02:17:51,860 --> 02:18:02,020
life. I don't know. She also said, you know, I would want to know, like, the kids feel they

2042
02:18:02,020 --> 02:18:06,440
have his own friends. Did they have enough of their co-workers?

2043
02:18:08,780 --> 02:18:12,160
Do I have her dad as

2044
02:18:12,160 --> 02:18:18,060
a concern and like that? Well, there's a ask-of-oh here. That's because I've been out for

2045
02:18:18,060 --> 02:18:24,160
four weeks. The question is, yes, do they have enough and how do they feel about, you know,

2046
02:18:24,160 --> 02:18:26,340
Well, since we're moving towards Mahar.

2047
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:34,440
The Mahar feels like they're going to have 600 kids in 7 through 12, by the time we

2048
02:18:34,440 --> 02:18:35,100
head up to a lot.

2049
02:18:36,180 --> 02:18:40,840
So a lot of the focus on what Six Town is talking about has to do with numbers and the numbers

2050
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:47,600
percentage-wise between Mahar and the combination of Turner's and Pioneer are not off percentage-wise

2051
02:18:47,600 --> 02:18:48,560
all that much.

2052
02:18:48,940 --> 02:18:53,180
So we have to look at it from the lens of warlike actions.

2053
02:18:53,620 --> 02:18:54,980
Well, it comes to the school again.

2054
02:18:55,140 --> 02:18:58,820
But no one sort of, I don't think they've even thought about

2055
02:19:00,000 --> 02:19:01,660
good might go as an option.

2056
02:19:02,320 --> 02:19:09,120
I mean, I'll, no, no, as the warwick community going to turn us

2057
02:19:09,120 --> 02:19:13,900
false, you know, they know it has a certain people, it has a dance studio and

2058
02:19:13,900 --> 02:19:18,080
it has a, and it has a performing art studio and it has this amazing band.

2059
02:19:18,080 --> 02:19:23,260
So one of the things to do then is to remember to compare those different things.

2060
02:19:23,380 --> 02:19:27,040
So what would school look like for the high school students at ten or so?

2061
02:19:27,040 --> 02:19:29,940
I mean, school looked like for the little school students that they're playing here.

2062
02:19:30,360 --> 02:19:35,060
Yeah, as opposed to what it looked like going to Mahar for seven to twelve.

2063
02:19:35,520 --> 02:19:36,620
I mean, what might have been interesting.

2064
02:19:36,880 --> 02:19:37,160
In architecture.

2065
02:19:37,600 --> 02:19:38,760
I mean, Mahar has.

2066
02:19:39,580 --> 02:19:43,240
I mean, this could be a study.

2067
02:19:43,600 --> 02:19:44,500
I mean, it's like.

2068
02:19:50,380 --> 02:19:56,120
Yes, it seems like to gather this information quickly. I mean, you, you understand what's

2069
02:19:56,120 --> 02:20:00,900
a term or false, so maybe that's a good thing for you to itemize.

2070
02:20:02,200 --> 02:20:07,740
That's right, you're voting on an agreement that's going to last whatever we're going to

2071
02:20:07,740 --> 02:20:08,120
float on.

2072
02:20:08,420 --> 02:20:10,700
Well, it's, yeah, I think it's long time to know.

2073
02:20:10,700 --> 02:20:18,780
And when the region that I do imagine that if you know if we say no they'll read you guys

2074
02:20:18,780 --> 02:20:19,680
will know.

2075
02:20:20,020 --> 02:20:22,480
No, you guys won't try again with the $5.00.

2076
02:20:22,580 --> 02:20:23,460
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

2077
02:20:23,460 --> 02:20:23,800

2078
02:20:24,100 --> 02:20:24,880
The answer.
