A few other things going on

00:03:19,367 --> 00:03:21,066
is the junior PSAT.

90
00:03:21,066 --> 00:03:23,300
This last week, over 200 students participated.

91
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:25,300
This is a little bit of a new program for the juniors

92
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,500
and I think so far it's going very well.to be doing it,

93
00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:30,033
grade students had a fun field trip atNinth

94
00:03:31,033 --> 00:03:32,834

95
00:03:32,834 --> 00:03:34,233
I know a lot of it enjoyed it.

96
00:03:34,233 --> 00:03:36,333
And there's an ongoing extension of the masonry shop

97
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:38,467
and renovations to the HBC art shop.

98
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,300
I believe the students and staff

99
00:03:41,300 --> 00:03:44,033
have been touring the middle schools at the Shashi Road Show.

100
00:03:44,033 --> 00:03:47,000

00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,100
hits Tewkesbury and Wellington to go.

102
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:52,133
to visit the Billerica TheatersI was lucky enough

103
00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:53,734

104
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:55,300
a lot of great feedback.

105
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:57,700
to be a student here at Shashi.In closing, it's a great time

107
00:03:59,934 --> 00:04:00,934

116
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:20,667

117
00:04:20,667 --> 00:04:23,667
you you know you're not going to be aroundobligations

118
00:04:23,667 --> 00:04:29,467
for this trip.

119
00:04:29,467 --> 00:04:31,100
All right.

120
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:33,100
Next on the agenda is public comment

121
00:04:33,834 --> 00:04:36,367
and I believe can read in as here

122
00:04:36,367 --> 00:04:39,100
I am right now, please for the camera.

123
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:41,100
Gotcha.

124
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:42,000
Great.

125
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,634
Just California, where we have a three

126
00:04:44,634 --> 00:04:45,233
minute

127
00:04:46,133 --> 00:04:46,900
time.

128
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:49,033
This continues.

129
00:04:49,033 --> 00:04:51,700
So, Carol Redding, I'm a parent.

130
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,367
I'm going to skedaddle

131
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:55,066
after this because I have chicken at home.

132
00:04:55,066 --> 00:04:57,000
The oven.

133
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,367
So I'm here for two reasons.

134
00:04:59,367 --> 00:05:01,433
One, I do have to say, I just you know,

135
00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:03,033
I am here as a parent.

136
00:05:03,033 --> 00:05:05,166
I'm recently new to the school council

137
00:05:06,433 --> 00:05:08,066
within the school building.

138
00:05:08,066 --> 00:05:10,133
you know, I care a lot about this school.And I

139
00:05:10,133 --> 00:05:12,867
You have some amazing staff.

140
00:05:12,867 --> 00:05:14,000
The outcomes for this

141
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,433
kids here are varied, which is fantastic.

142
00:05:17,767 --> 00:05:21,300
And I hope that the current administration puts,

143
00:05:22,066 --> 00:05:24,266
you know, as much love

144
00:05:24,266 --> 00:05:27,100
and heart into our athletics programs

145
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:30,767
as well as technology.and our other avenues

146
00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:32,333
But I'm here today to talk about

147
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:34,166
the dress code policy.

148
00:05:35,467 --> 00:05:36,166
You know,

149
00:05:36,166 --> 00:05:38,934
superintendents have a specific job

150
00:05:38,934 --> 00:05:41,300
in school, committees have a specific job,

151
00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:44,133
and school councils have a specific job.

152
00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:46,100
The job of the school committee

153
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,033
is to create policy.

154
00:05:48,033 --> 00:05:49,934
The job of the superintendent

155
00:05:49,934 --> 00:05:53,367
is to create procedure around that policy.

156
00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:55,500
So how do we move about the building?

157
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,166
Who's in charge of what?

158
00:05:57,166 --> 00:05:58,667
Who's doing what?

159
00:05:58,667 --> 00:06:00,333
How does it look? Right.

160
00:06:00,333 --> 00:06:03,233
I never want to hear a superintendent

161
00:06:03,433 --> 00:06:05,100
say to a school committee,

162
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:07,066
Well, I've relaxed that policy

163
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:10,000
because that's not their right to do

164
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,667
whether that's school choice,

165
00:06:12,667 --> 00:06:15,000
whether that's any school policy.

166
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,433
You are the creators of policy,

167
00:06:19,066 --> 00:06:21,567
which is the dress code policy

168
00:06:21,567 --> 00:06:24,467
as an advocate, as an educationalright now

169
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:27,567
advocate, does not pass the ACLU

170
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,000
sniff test. Why?

171
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,834
Because it talks about midriffs

172
00:06:32,834 --> 00:06:35,033
on girls as an advocate

173
00:06:35,033 --> 00:06:37,367
and I've already told the superintendent this,

174
00:06:37,734 --> 00:06:40,500
I will be pulling your data

175
00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:43,533
on how kids are

176
00:06:43,533 --> 00:06:45,867
disciplined at the end of this school year.

177
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
If girls are denied faith,

178
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,033
denied access to public education

179
00:06:52,233 --> 00:06:55,066
because they're showing their midriff,

180
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:56,667
I'm going to have an issue with that.

181
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:59,000
And so probably will the ACLU,

182
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,934
because it's not it's sexist dress code.

183
00:07:01,934 --> 00:07:03,333
It's going to be sexist,

184
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:05,533
classist and racist.

185
00:07:05,533 --> 00:07:09,567
And this one is sexist if you need it.

186
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:11,700
There is no health and safety code

187
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,934
that says a belly or a back is a risk.

188
00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:17,033
And so, you know,

189
00:07:17,033 --> 00:07:19,266
I think you need to go back to the drawing board

190
00:07:19,266 --> 00:07:21,634
because policy falls on you.and look at this

191
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:25,000
And I'm concerned about the girls.

192
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,900
I think it falls after some really,

193
00:07:29,166 --> 00:07:32,166
some allegations that took place.you know,

194
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:33,900
And so when we now focus

195
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,000
on the girls again, it sends a terrible,

196
00:07:36,333 --> 00:07:38,133
terrible message.

197
00:07:38,133 --> 00:07:40,700
So I hope as a school committee,

198
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:42,300
you're going to think about this

199
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,100
and you're going to look at it.

200
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:46,266
My daughter just got a job at IMG.

201
00:07:46,634 --> 00:07:48,433
She's going to UMass Boston.

202
00:07:48,433 --> 00:07:50,100
She's part of the cheer team

203
00:07:50,100 --> 00:07:53,300
she participated in in schools.

204
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:56,100
And she did it all with a crop top line.

205
00:07:56,734 --> 00:07:57,934
Thank you.

206
00:07:57,934 --> 00:07:58,700
Thank you.

207
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,066
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

208
00:08:00,066 --> 00:08:01,500
Thank you.

209
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,500
Thank you.

210
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:07,133
anybody else on a comment.I don't believe we have

211
00:08:08,066 --> 00:08:09,233
So onto

212
00:08:09,233 --> 00:08:14,133
the next item, which is

213
00:08:15,233 --> 00:08:16,467
your assistant principal,

214
00:08:16,467 --> 00:08:22,767
Kevin, you're up first.

215
00:08:22,934 --> 00:08:27,133
All right, That's good.

216
00:08:27,133 --> 00:08:28,133
I'm going to leave out.

217
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:29,767
I mean, I got two crazy kids in my house

218
00:08:29,767 --> 00:08:31,266
with my grandmother, so.

219
00:08:31,266 --> 00:08:33,734
Well, maybe my mom there.

220
00:08:33,867 --> 00:08:34,834
Good evening, everybody.

221
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:36,100
My name is Kevin Caruso.

222
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:37,767
I'm the assistant principal of student

223
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,133
affairs.

224
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:42,900
committee chairperson.I'm also the wellness

225
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,500
So I was asked to come speak a little bit

226
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:47,834
about the Wellness committee.

227
00:08:49,233 --> 00:08:50,867
So I just have a little bit of background.

228
00:08:50,867 --> 00:08:52,367
The Wellness Health and Wellness

229
00:08:52,367 --> 00:08:54,133
Committee is actually governed

230
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:56,266
by the Department of Public Health.

231
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:58,100
They have regulations

232
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,900
105 EMR 215 that outlines

233
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:05,467
the scope and purpose of the Health and Wellness Committee.

234
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:08,000
And so the basic purpose under

235
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,033
the regulations is to recommend, review,

236
00:09:11,033 --> 00:09:12,567
support school district

237
00:09:12,567 --> 00:09:14,667
policies, Addressing school nutrition,

238
00:09:14,667 --> 00:09:16,166
nutrition, education,

239
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:17,433
physical activity,

240
00:09:17,433 --> 00:09:20,166
affecting students, physical,and related issues

241
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:21,934
social and emotional health

242
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:24,066
and other regulation.

243
00:09:24,066 --> 00:09:26,567
It must meet at least four times per year.

244
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,266
we're just going to meet oneSo. So right now

245
00:09:29,266 --> 00:09:32,266
time for each quarter.

246
00:09:32,266 --> 00:09:34,900
that you have to have minutesAnd then it has

247
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,834
As far as the general scopeand that's pretty much it

248
00:09:37,834 --> 00:09:39,467
and sequence of the Health

249
00:09:39,467 --> 00:09:41,000
and Wellness Committee

250
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:43,367
members is myself

251
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:45,467
as the Chair, Nancy,

252
00:09:45,467 --> 00:09:47,000
and as the school committee member.

253
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,767
Liaison.

254
00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,300
Brian Davidson, Social Studies

255
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:53,000
Department General Esko Business Manager

256
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:55,300
Christina Neal Wellness Teacher.

257
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,367
Patricia Noonan Health Department Chair.

258
00:09:57,533 --> 00:10:00,033
Bonnie Backup Food Service Manager.

259
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,667
And Elizabeth West, the school nurse.

260
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:06,867
So last year was really the first year

261
00:10:06,867 --> 00:10:08,734
that it was kind of revived.

262
00:10:08,734 --> 00:10:10,166
It was not my understanding from COBRA.

263
00:10:10,166 --> 00:10:12,000
That was one of the committees that

264
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,467
kind of fell off the tracks.

265
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:17,000
So last year we just really kind of wanted

266
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,100
the community, really kind of understandto establish

267
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:20,634
our role

268
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:22,734
in terms of what

269
00:10:22,734 --> 00:10:25,867
we would be doing moving forward.

270
00:10:25,867 --> 00:10:27,700
We we took a look at the food

271
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:31,100
service and nutrition aspect of Joshie

272
00:10:31,533 --> 00:10:34,000
and finally back to our food

273
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,500
service managers were doing a great job

274
00:10:36,867 --> 00:10:39,233
with with the food service.

275
00:10:39,233 --> 00:10:40,000
She's

276
00:10:40,433 --> 00:10:43,066
with the with the menu.being very creative

277
00:10:43,066 --> 00:10:45,700
Kids are in what's free now.

278
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:48,533
So the kids are eating the food lines

279
00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:51,233
and the help with the long lines we created.

280
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:53,033
We're going to create or we create a grab

281
00:10:53,033 --> 00:10:54,834
and go station

282
00:10:55,433 --> 00:10:56,233
to go

283
00:10:57,533 --> 00:10:58,066
permanent.

284
00:10:58,066 --> 00:11:00,834
But we're going to, I think, purchase

285
00:11:00,834 --> 00:11:01,900
a formal station.

286
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:04,500
Will a mobile card serving card,

287
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,033
a mobile serving card for the grab and go.

288
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:09,333
And they also purchase software

289
00:11:09,333 --> 00:11:11,000
that will allow nutritional values

290
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,767
to be posted on the website with the school menu.

291
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:15,533
So I know that was something that

292
00:11:15,533 --> 00:11:17,367
a lot of people were asking for.

293
00:11:17,367 --> 00:11:19,500
So the food service and nutrition

294
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:22,567
is doing very well.

295
00:11:22,567 --> 00:11:24,100
And like I said, this year

296
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,533
look at the different areasstill continue to kind of

297
00:11:26,533 --> 00:11:29,233
within the Health and Wellness Department's

298
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
food service.

299
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,767
Another big piece of

300
00:11:33,767 --> 00:11:35,233
that is the Health and Wellness

301
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:37,066
Curriculum Association.

302
00:11:37,066 --> 00:11:38,667
That's something that the Health

303
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:41,000
and Wellness Committee will have asked,

304
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,634
you know, guidance with and support over

305
00:11:44,834 --> 00:11:46,934
to the current highlights

306
00:11:46,934 --> 00:11:48,133
things that the schools are doing

307
00:11:48,133 --> 00:11:50,433
related to health and wellness.

308
00:11:50,433 --> 00:11:53,467
for seniors, the strengthAs we added electives

309
00:11:53,467 --> 00:11:55,467
and conditioning course at team games,

310
00:11:56,567 --> 00:11:58,533
we have a very well

311
00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:00,834
run diversion program for students

312
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:04,133
who either request help for substance

313
00:12:04,133 --> 00:12:06,767
use or it's part of a consequence

314
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:08,734
for getting caught here

315
00:12:08,734 --> 00:12:10,767
with drugs or alcohol.

316
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:13,433
Our fitness centers open

317
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:14,634
every day after school

318
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:16,834
is fully supervised till 530.

319
00:12:16,834 --> 00:12:20,300
Kids are welcome to do that as well.

320
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,100
And then obviously our health and wellness

321
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,867
curriculum follows.

322
00:12:24,867 --> 00:12:27,100
It follows the frameworks and they do a great job

323
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:29,066
at kind of addressing

324
00:12:29,066 --> 00:12:32,467
contemporary topics for teens.

325
00:12:32,467 --> 00:12:33,767
We put up Substance

326
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:37,133
Awareness Night last year

327
00:12:37,133 --> 00:12:38,467
and, you know,

328
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:41,133
talk about doing that again this year.

329
00:12:41,133 --> 00:12:42,000
And then we also

330
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,066
in the capital ramp are vape detectors

331
00:12:45,066 --> 00:12:47,000
and have those in the bathrooms

332
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,767
and those are kind of up and running.

333
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,700
So those are the highlights.

334
00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:53,367
Another big

335
00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:56,266
highlight for health and wellness

336
00:12:56,266 --> 00:12:58,066
in general is the state itself

337
00:12:58,066 --> 00:13:00,133
passed new frameworks,

338
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:02,667
K-through-12 frameworks.

339
00:13:02,667 --> 00:13:05,133
You may have heard

340
00:13:05,133 --> 00:13:06,867
people talking about that,

341
00:13:06,867 --> 00:13:08,033
but at the high school

342
00:13:08,033 --> 00:13:11,000
level, it's actually a minimal change.

343
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,033
Some of the additions

344
00:13:12,033 --> 00:13:14,066
for the high school,

345
00:13:14,066 --> 00:13:16,834
increased education around the dangers

346
00:13:16,834 --> 00:13:19,500
and presence of human trafficking,

347
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,100
on healthy relationshipsincreased education

348
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:24,867
and increased education around

349
00:13:24,867 --> 00:13:26,100
important nutrition topics.

350
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,634
So over the next year, year and a half,

351
00:13:28,834 --> 00:13:32,066
the school will kind of review the new standards

352
00:13:32,066 --> 00:13:34,100
with ours and kind of work the narrative

353
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,000
to make the most sense of

354
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,533
kind of how that would fit in.

355
00:13:37,533 --> 00:13:42,667
So if anybody have any questions,

356
00:13:42,667 --> 00:13:45,000
we can probably question

357
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,567
you guys on a regular basis.

358
00:13:46,567 --> 00:13:49,133
Have a salad bar. Yes, every day.

359
00:13:49,133 --> 00:13:50,667
And we do great that

360
00:13:50,667 --> 00:13:53,000
they mix up the options.

361
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,767
Like I said, they're very creative,

362
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:56,367
you know, different protein

363
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,834
and all different types of stuff.some days

364
00:13:58,834 --> 00:13:59,834
So it's great.

365
00:14:01,433 --> 00:14:02,934
It's supposed to be on that committee.

366
00:14:02,934 --> 00:14:07,367
Someone from the community,

367
00:14:07,367 --> 00:14:09,000
because all of you guys seem to be available.

368
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,100
that was something that we talked about.So yeah, that

369
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,033
But we wanted to at first just kind of

370
00:14:14,033 --> 00:14:16,066
internally kind of square away.

371
00:14:16,066 --> 00:14:18,734
But that that's something that we can add on as we go.

372
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,467
It just said that, you know,

373
00:14:21,467 --> 00:14:22,734
it wasn't specific

374
00:14:22,734 --> 00:14:24,533
like you have to have these people,

375
00:14:24,533 --> 00:14:26,734
but it was just in general

376
00:14:26,734 --> 00:14:28,100
because I was on it and Duxbury

377
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:32,133
was actually the town nurse.and our community member

378
00:14:32,133 --> 00:14:33,367
That's how we

379
00:14:35,767 --> 00:14:38,100
that's something that we can look at.

380
00:14:38,367 --> 00:14:40,433
What else,

381
00:14:40,634 --> 00:14:41,667
if not, thank you.

382
00:14:41,667 --> 00:14:44,634
Once again, thank you very much

383
00:14:46,166 --> 00:14:48,100
luck and

384
00:14:48,133 --> 00:14:50,667
good luck with the kids next year.

385
00:14:50,667 --> 00:14:54,000
Next on you to director of academics Dana.

386
00:14:55,166 --> 00:14:57,734
Yeah, thank you.

387
00:14:57,734 --> 00:14:59,066
Thank.

388
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:00,266
Okay.

389
00:15:00,266 --> 00:15:01,667
So I haven't been asked

390
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,900
to speak about our task force

391
00:15:04,667 --> 00:15:07,066
you will all kind of packet

392
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,433
that has a purple cover

393
00:15:10,433 --> 00:15:12,533
that says 2023 and as a result

394
00:15:13,033 --> 00:15:15,066
I will

395
00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:17,033
through every single reportI'm not going to go

396
00:15:17,033 --> 00:15:19,867
but this is a comprehensive review of all of our impacts.

397
00:15:19,867 --> 00:15:22,066
So can take a look at it in more depth

398
00:15:22,066 --> 00:15:25,767
when you have the time.

399
00:15:25,767 --> 00:15:28,900
So the first highlight is the John and Abigail Adams scholarships.

400
00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:33,233
We had 86 recipients in the class of 2024.

401
00:15:33,634 --> 00:15:36,500
So our current results won't come out

402
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,066
until these 11th graders are actually seniors.

403
00:15:39,033 --> 00:15:42,100
So the last spring test,

404
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,133
we won't know their results for a little bit.

405
00:15:44,133 --> 00:15:48,533
We also are the 17th highest school

406
00:15:48,533 --> 00:15:51,000
on the accountability rating.district in the state

407
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:55,100
Just incredible.

408
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,500
So for our overall results,

409
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:59,667
we have 99% of our students met

410
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:01,734
the state competency determinations.

411
00:16:01,734 --> 00:16:03,266
We only had three failures

412
00:16:03,266 --> 00:16:05,433
and two medical excuse us,

413
00:16:05,433 --> 00:16:08,066
you'll see on the right hand side are the score ranges.

414
00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:09,834
There's not

415
00:16:09,834 --> 00:16:12,066
really the state doesn't really define a failure.

416
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,000
They define it as not meeting.

417
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,934
And there are two there are a few scores

418
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:18,734
in the not meeting category

419
00:16:18,734 --> 00:16:20,266
that actually get students

420
00:16:20,266 --> 00:16:22,166
their competency determination.

421
00:16:22,166 --> 00:16:24,000
So that's why I broke it out there about

422
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,500
between a sale and not meeting.what is the difference

423
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:29,500
They want that all together now and at a certain point

424
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:34,066
the not meeting becomes enough.

425
00:16:34,066 --> 00:16:37,033
So this graph, Shaheen

426
00:16:37,033 --> 00:16:39,000
has had the second highest percentage

427
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,634
of students with accommodation.

428
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:44,033
So if you look at this graph, all of the figures

429
00:16:44,033 --> 00:16:45,567
see all of our spending districts are in

430
00:16:45,567 --> 00:16:46,634
yellow,

431
00:16:47,166 --> 00:16:49,934
all vocational schools are in blue

432
00:16:50,433 --> 00:16:52,033
and Shaheen is in purple

433
00:16:52,033 --> 00:16:54,333
and the state is in red.

434
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:57,934
So we had 69% of our students on ELA

435
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:00,767
meet or exceed expectations

436
00:17:01,066 --> 00:17:03,900
and our percentage of students who access

437
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:07,667
accommodations on the ELA test was 36%.

438
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,300
So in comparison to our district,

439
00:17:10,867 --> 00:17:13,000
although we don't have the highest percentage

440
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,533
who meet or exceed expectations,of students

441
00:17:15,867 --> 00:17:18,433
we have one of the highest incidents

442
00:17:18,634 --> 00:17:29,100
of students using accommodations.

443
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:31,000
So we have in L.A.,

444
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,033
we had a higher mean student growth percentage

445
00:17:34,033 --> 00:17:36,033
than all of our spending caps.

446
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:37,867
So student growth percentage

447
00:17:37,867 --> 00:17:39,333
is measured based on the student's

448
00:17:39,333 --> 00:17:41,266
previous scores

449
00:17:41,266 --> 00:17:44,467
and how much they grew to the next test.

450
00:17:44,467 --> 00:17:47,000
So this is something that she always does

451
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,667
very, very well.

452
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:49,734
You bring our students in

453
00:17:49,734 --> 00:17:51,700
and we prepare them well.

454
00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:53,634
We obviously get all of our sending

455
00:17:53,634 --> 00:17:55,433
communities and we are second

456
00:17:57,066 --> 00:17:59,500
in the vocational schools

457
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:02,734
of students.

458
00:18:05,533 --> 00:18:07,934
So the next sheet you will see

459
00:18:07,934 --> 00:18:10,066
is just a little bit more of a detailed

460
00:18:10,734 --> 00:18:14,100
outline of how we did on each question.

461
00:18:14,066 --> 00:18:16,433
Again, it's I won't go through it.

462
00:18:16,433 --> 00:18:20,567
I'll go through the highlights which are on the next page.

463
00:18:20,567 --> 00:18:21,266
All right.

464
00:18:22,634 --> 00:18:26,533
So in terms of math,

465
00:18:26,533 --> 00:18:28,500
96% of our students met

466
00:18:28,500 --> 00:18:30,634
the state competency determination.

467
00:18:31,133 --> 00:18:33,634
We had 13 failures and one that,

468
00:18:33,634 --> 00:18:36,100
of course, you saw

469
00:18:37,467 --> 00:18:38,567
what we do tend

470
00:18:38,567 --> 00:18:41,033
to find on math and biology

471
00:18:41,033 --> 00:18:43,233
since they're subject matter tests,

472
00:18:44,467 --> 00:18:46,634
a lot of the disabilities manifest

473
00:18:46,634 --> 00:18:48,166
a little bit more on a subject matter

474
00:18:48,166 --> 00:18:51,367
test than skill based assessments,

475
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:53,266
because remember,

476
00:18:53,266 --> 00:18:55,367
and that's the information recall

477
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:58,900
that you've any working memory

478
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:04,233
challenging in those subject areas.

479
00:19:04,233 --> 00:19:06,867
So you'll see here again, we checked

480
00:19:06,867 --> 00:19:08,900
I kept everything consistent on

481
00:19:09,634 --> 00:19:12,266
sending districts are in yellow,

482
00:19:12,266 --> 00:19:14,367
vocational districts are in blue,

483
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:16,433
state is in red.

484
00:19:16,433 --> 00:19:18,433
So this number is a little bit different

485
00:19:18,433 --> 00:19:22,033
that 33% of our students with accommodations

486
00:19:22,033 --> 00:19:24,133
with different on math and English,

487
00:19:24,133 --> 00:19:26,367
have different disabilitiesbecause students

488
00:19:26,367 --> 00:19:28,033
and they require different accommodations

489
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:30,100
for different assessments.

490
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:33,767
I want to know one thing on these graphs.

491
00:19:34,367 --> 00:19:37,734
These are all school based data.

492
00:19:38,066 --> 00:19:39,667
So if you go into Edwin

493
00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:41,734
or Stephanie and look at any of these

494
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,533
reports we took,

495
00:19:44,533 --> 00:19:47,066
Burlington High looks very high.

496
00:19:47,467 --> 00:19:49,033
So if there's any difference

497
00:19:49,033 --> 00:19:51,000
you see in this school versus

498
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,166
the district, that could be it.

499
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:55,734
Also, every sending

500
00:19:55,734 --> 00:19:57,867
district needs to get in touch

501
00:19:57,867 --> 00:19:59,634
with any students that at any

502
00:19:59,634 --> 00:20:01,567
sort of private school or parochial school

503
00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:03,367
and offer to test them.

504
00:20:03,367 --> 00:20:05,166
So sometimes there will be like a couple

505
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:07,934
extra students reported

506
00:20:07,934 --> 00:20:09,567
through this testing.

507
00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:13,000
So again,

508
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,900
our mean student growth percentage,

509
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:19,500
we are right up there with

510
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:20,934
the other vocational schools

511
00:20:20,934 --> 00:20:22,500
and our sending districts.

512
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,133
And to have this be over

513
00:20:24,133 --> 00:20:30,867
50% is pretty incredible.

514
00:20:30,867 --> 00:20:33,166
So math test analysis summary.

515
00:20:33,166 --> 00:20:35,533
We scored above the state on 70%

516
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:37,767
of the test questions

517
00:20:38,433 --> 00:20:41,166
we've solved with the triangle questions,

518
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:43,033
and that's something we know you do well

519
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:45,033
and we should continue.

520
00:20:45,033 --> 00:20:48,066
But overall we work with the performance

521
00:20:48,433 --> 00:20:50,133
as we were on the question.

522
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,333
One thing

523
00:20:52,333 --> 00:20:54,333
I do want to note about the math test

524
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,033
section,

525
00:21:00,333 --> 00:21:03,300
so there's two flags here.

526
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,767
One is for the next gen and class

527
00:21:05,767 --> 00:21:08,567
and one is for both legacy and test.

528
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,300
So if you go back one slide,

529
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,934
so on these next gen

530
00:21:14,934 --> 00:21:17,934
this is sort of what students see.and impacts,

531
00:21:17,934 --> 00:21:20,033
They have to use all of these tools

532
00:21:20,033 --> 00:21:21,867
to input work pairs.

533
00:21:21,867 --> 00:21:24,000
This is actually a system of equations,

534
00:21:24,133 --> 00:21:26,333
so they have to graph two lines

535
00:21:26,333 --> 00:21:28,667
and then they have to shade.

536
00:21:28,667 --> 00:21:30,000
So this is a question

537
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,033
from the next gen cast in 2023.

538
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:35,500
So what's the next slide?

539
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,166
This is comparing to what used to be.

540
00:21:38,634 --> 00:21:40,567
So students used to have to pick

541
00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:42,066
the correct answer

542
00:21:42,066 --> 00:21:45,133
rather than creating it themselves.

543
00:21:45,133 --> 00:21:48,033
And if you don't create and get correct

544
00:21:48,033 --> 00:21:49,867
both parts of that question,

545
00:21:49,867 --> 00:21:52,000
you don't get credit for that question.

546
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,900
So the test has gotten much harder.

547
00:21:54,900 --> 00:21:57,667
And getting to that minimum proficiency

548
00:21:57,834 --> 00:22:03,567
is definitely more challenging than it used.

549
00:22:03,567 --> 00:22:03,867
That's

550
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,533
all right.

551
00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:09,467
So overall in biology,

552
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:11,166
96% of students

553
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:13,433
met the state competency determinations.

554
00:22:13,433 --> 00:22:15,066
We have 14 failures

555
00:22:15,066 --> 00:22:18,266
and one medical excuse over

556
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,567
the percentage of students

557
00:22:23,567 --> 00:22:26,100
meeting and exceeding expectations.

558
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:27,767
We are right in the top.

559
00:22:27,767 --> 00:22:30,100
There was 64%.

560
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:31,700
And again,

561
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:34,000
if you look at our students with disabilities,

562
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,700
we have a higher percentage of students with disabilities

563
00:22:36,700 --> 00:22:38,500
than most of these schools,

564
00:22:38,500 --> 00:22:44,033
and we are performing well.

565
00:22:44,033 --> 00:22:47,233
So because during COVID,

566
00:22:47,233 --> 00:22:50,533
they did not they gave out the waiver for the biology exam.

567
00:22:50,533 --> 00:22:52,000
They stopped testing for file.

568
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,533
They just did math and English.

569
00:22:53,533 --> 00:22:55,867
There's no student growth percentage.

570
00:22:55,867 --> 00:22:57,567
But I did note that we did

571
00:22:57,567 --> 00:22:59,667
improve over last year.

572
00:22:59,667 --> 00:23:01,266
Last year was the first version

573
00:23:01,266 --> 00:23:03,433
of the new biology test,

574
00:23:03,433 --> 00:23:05,266
so we're continuing to improve

575
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:07,734
it. So that's very

576
00:23:07,734 --> 00:23:12,000
positive for us.

577
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,500
The biology test item

578
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:16,000
analysis summary is very impressive.

579
00:23:16,266 --> 00:23:18,166
They scored at or above the state

580
00:23:18,166 --> 00:23:20,233
on 95% of the questions

581
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,133
and we only scored

582
00:23:22,133 --> 00:23:24,000
below the state on two questions

583
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,634
and it was by one percentage

584
00:23:25,634 --> 00:23:28,066
point and two percentage points.

585
00:23:28,066 --> 00:23:30,433
And the state will give you an overall

586
00:23:30,433 --> 00:23:33,066
domain and cluster

587
00:23:33,066 --> 00:23:35,000
group, the standards together.

588
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,066
we scored well above the stateAnd in our in biology

589
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:41,767
average in every domain and cluster. So

590
00:23:43,433 --> 00:23:44,433
this is another

591
00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:46,467
just example of the difference

592
00:23:46,467 --> 00:23:48,266
in the legacy of MCAS

593
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:49,700
versus the next student.

594
00:23:49,700 --> 00:23:53,100
about double stranded DNA.So this is a question

595
00:23:53,467 --> 00:23:54,934
And you can see that students

596
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:57,567
need to pick a multiple choice here.

597
00:23:57,567 --> 00:23:59,266
If we go to the next

598
00:23:59,266 --> 00:24:01,166
this question has three parts.

599
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,900
Students have to

600
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:04,634
write paragraphs

601
00:24:04,634 --> 00:24:06,500
about three parts of this question

602
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:08,567
and get all three parts correct

603
00:24:08,567 --> 00:24:10,133
to get credit for the question.

604
00:24:10,133 --> 00:24:12,333
Same topic, same strand

605
00:24:12,533 --> 00:24:16,734
from the cast database.

606
00:24:16,734 --> 00:24:18,367
Okay, so in your packet

607
00:24:18,367 --> 00:24:21,100
you do have three additional reports.

608
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:24,500
I just wanted to provide these so that you can

609
00:24:24,634 --> 00:24:27,133
see the data at your leisure.

610
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:31,100
I did sort of go over the highlights,

611
00:24:32,567 --> 00:24:36,166
we're very happy with our scoresbut overall

612
00:24:38,133 --> 00:24:41,133
and we do have plans

613
00:24:41,133 --> 00:24:43,100
for remediation.

614
00:24:43,333 --> 00:24:45,634
So for any of our students

615
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:48,266
that did not pass on the first try,

616
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:51,700
we have an in-house coordinator, Ms..

617
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:55,533
who is absolutely incredible.Jessica Riley,

618
00:24:55,934 --> 00:24:59,100
She has created so much documentation

619
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:01,867
and support for these students and created

620
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:04,033
programing to be able to support them

621
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:06,533
that we've really seen a significant

622
00:25:06,533 --> 00:25:08,066
positive impact.

623
00:25:08,066 --> 00:25:11,233
who remediated last year testEvery student

624
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,900
as we had no seniors

625
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:16,133
who are in danger of not graduating

626
00:25:16,133 --> 00:25:18,300
the competency determination.because everybody met

627
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:20,033
So in junior year, we

628
00:25:20,033 --> 00:25:22,567
we have these individual student reports

629
00:25:22,567 --> 00:25:24,000
that we use to prep the students.

630
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,734
We specifically

631
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:28,367
look at the areas that they were weak and we tailor

632
00:25:28,367 --> 00:25:31,033
the instruction to their needs.

633
00:25:31,567 --> 00:25:32,934
We have one on one meetings

634
00:25:32,934 --> 00:25:35,100
with every student who would not pass,

635
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,900
and we were in contact with their parents.

636
00:25:37,900 --> 00:25:39,500
We created a new class this year

637
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,166
called Conceptual Biology.

638
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:45,033
who is unsuccessful on the biologySo any student

639
00:25:45,033 --> 00:25:47,700
impasse is in that class preparing

640
00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:49,233
to take the February in case

641
00:25:50,667 --> 00:25:51,767
we schedule

642
00:25:51,767 --> 00:25:54,734
so that we can provide themstudents into cohorts

643
00:25:54,734 --> 00:25:57,567
for providing full support.pull out support

644
00:25:57,567 --> 00:26:01,233
Right now during related for our juniors,

645
00:26:01,367 --> 00:26:03,667
we also have afterschool support

646
00:26:03,667 --> 00:26:05,634
and we're going to run our boot camps again.

647
00:26:05,634 --> 00:26:07,266
Last year we ran an impasse

648
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:09,433
boot camp in February and April.

649
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:12,000
It's pretty well attended.

650
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Right now we're working on analyzing

651
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,734
the scores of those students who participated in that

652
00:26:16,734 --> 00:26:18,667
to see if we can find any correlation

653
00:26:18,667 --> 00:26:22,734
between the two.

654
00:26:22,734 --> 00:26:25,667
So this is just an example of the document

655
00:26:25,667 --> 00:26:27,867
that I just the Brady created.

656
00:26:27,867 --> 00:26:31,467
That's a student exam analysis.

657
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:33,066
Essentially, this is provided

658
00:26:33,066 --> 00:26:35,133
to the student parent

659
00:26:35,133 --> 00:26:37,333
and the person prepping the student

660
00:26:37,333 --> 00:26:39,266
for that subject matter test

661
00:26:39,266 --> 00:26:41,667
specifically what the student needsso they can know

662
00:26:41,667 --> 00:26:48,100
to do to be able to meet competency.

663
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,667
This is also hours and class calendar.

664
00:26:52,433 --> 00:26:55,133
You'll see that it has several review dates.

665
00:26:55,133 --> 00:26:58,634
There's several afterschool workshops, it includes the boot camps

666
00:26:58,634 --> 00:27:04,567
and all of our test things.

667
00:27:04,567 --> 00:27:05,667
Are there any

668
00:27:07,066 --> 00:27:09,233
are there any questions about

669
00:27:09,233 --> 00:27:11,133
I know that was a ton of information

670
00:27:11,133 --> 00:27:13,100
and a ton of paperwork

671
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
as you also have to give a shout out to Jeff

672
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,867
McGrath, who helped me

673
00:27:17,867 --> 00:27:20,033
compile this data and create these graphs.

674
00:27:20,367 --> 00:27:22,700
Very talented and

675
00:27:22,867 --> 00:27:25,700
appreciate.

676
00:27:25,700 --> 00:27:28,066
Going to two quick questions.

677
00:27:28,066 --> 00:27:30,634
the first one that I had,So you largely answered

678
00:27:30,634 --> 00:27:31,533
which is

679
00:27:32,033 --> 00:27:34,333
in the context of the upcoming

680
00:27:34,333 --> 00:27:36,867
likely upcoming ballot question

681
00:27:37,066 --> 00:27:38,567
about mass testing

682
00:27:38,567 --> 00:27:40,433
and whether it should be capped or not.

683
00:27:40,433 --> 00:27:41,700
There's been a lot of discussion

684
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:44,266
about what percentage of kids around the state

685
00:27:44,467 --> 00:27:47,100
are denied a high school diploma

686
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:48,233
based on caste,

687
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:50,533
but they have passed all their high school requirements.

688
00:27:51,834 --> 00:27:53,667
From which have you said the

689
00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:55,867
the general trend and attrition

690
00:27:55,867 --> 00:27:57,834
has been zero?

691
00:27:57,834 --> 00:27:59,767
It has.

692
00:27:59,767 --> 00:28:02,333
We do have a different population

693
00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:04,000
than we have had in the past

694
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000
and there is a possibility that we may go

695
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,767
the mixed up route of our students

696
00:28:11,033 --> 00:28:13,300
and then that has all throughout

697
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:16,066
that does not lead to a diploma, that does lead

698
00:28:16,066 --> 00:28:19,834
to a certificate of completion.

699
00:28:19,834 --> 00:28:22,266
We are working very hard with all of our students

700
00:28:22,266 --> 00:28:25,066
to try to avoid that.

701
00:28:25,066 --> 00:28:26,867
But some students have circumstances

702
00:28:26,867 --> 00:28:30,033
that may require an education up to age 22,

703
00:28:30,033 --> 00:28:32,166
and they would be the students who would be eligible

704
00:28:32,367 --> 00:28:35,066
for an m consult.

705
00:28:35,066 --> 00:28:37,266
And this is more probably anecdotal,

706
00:28:37,266 --> 00:28:39,133
but the other part of that debate

707
00:28:39,133 --> 00:28:40,767
that's going to probably play out,

708
00:28:40,767 --> 00:28:42,133
assuming that the ballot question is

709
00:28:42,133 --> 00:28:44,066
a live one, is

710
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,567
teaching staff,

711
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,500
even though this

712
00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:52,133
classes 20 to 30 years old

713
00:28:52,133 --> 00:28:54,467
now, are still concerned

714
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:57,634
in some cases, understandably, that it takes them away

715
00:28:57,634 --> 00:28:59,634
from the amount of time

716
00:28:59,634 --> 00:29:02,066
within the school curriculum.that it takes up

717
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:05,100
And it would seem in a vocational school

718
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,133
where we have half the time

719
00:29:07,133 --> 00:29:08,100
spent on academics,

720
00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:11,100
that might be a compounded problem.

721
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:12,700
Any just general feedback

722
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:15,867
or from the staff's perspective,you have on that issue

723
00:29:16,133 --> 00:29:18,066
it is certainly compounded

724
00:29:18,066 --> 00:29:20,100
out of vocational school.

725
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:22,000
We students have

726
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,767
a variety of options education

727
00:29:23,767 --> 00:29:25,266
and we are a vocational

728
00:29:25,266 --> 00:29:27,300
technical school, so students

729
00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:29,567
usually have a goal in mind when they come here,

730
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:31,834
and getting through the

731
00:29:31,834 --> 00:29:34,066
CAS is usually a big hurdle to that goal.

732
00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:37,767
So we understand on the academic side that freshmen

733
00:29:37,767 --> 00:29:40,333
and sophomore year for English, math

734
00:29:40,333 --> 00:29:43,834
and science is a lot of our curriculum

735
00:29:43,834 --> 00:29:45,300
unfortunately is driven towards

736
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:47,734
passing that test.

737
00:29:47,734 --> 00:29:49,734
So it is unfortunate,

738
00:29:49,734 --> 00:29:51,667
but it is the nature of where

739
00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:53,634
these kids want to go

740
00:29:53,634 --> 00:29:55,367
and how we can help them get there.

741
00:29:56,467 --> 00:29:59,300
Credits in opinion

742
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:02,033
might change in education of 30 years.

743
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,433
Like I think I'm consistently

744
00:30:04,734 --> 00:30:08,100
France gets away from kids

745
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,333
staff that can be redeployed to better

746
00:30:10,634 --> 00:30:12,066
so I mean I would be interested

747
00:30:12,066 --> 00:30:15,000
to see where that goes because

748
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:15,333
I don't know.

749
00:30:15,333 --> 00:30:18,500
I just yeah, it's like it does.

750
00:30:20,033 --> 00:30:22,266
I'm not a big fan of caps.

751
00:30:22,667 --> 00:30:25,000
I do think it takes it.

752
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,300
It does require a lot of attention

753
00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:28,900
from school districts.

754
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:31,300
And even in the past years

755
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:34,066
that were really poorlythey've had questions

756
00:30:34,066 --> 00:30:35,000
vetted,

757
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:37,100
that sort of indicate

758
00:30:37,100 --> 00:30:39,934
that the test is too antiquated.

759
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:42,433
They also don't pay for copyright.

760
00:30:42,634 --> 00:30:45,133
So all of the questions that are in

761
00:30:45,133 --> 00:30:48,567
exams are really, really old.these English

762
00:30:48,567 --> 00:30:50,100
And it's hard

763
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:52,100
for students to even connect with

764
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,133
because they're like reused scripts

765
00:30:54,133 --> 00:30:55,834
or scripts that they've already purchased.

766
00:30:55,834 --> 00:30:56,867
The copyright for.

767
00:30:58,066 --> 00:31:00,533
Okay, I just

768
00:31:00,533 --> 00:31:03,500
to comment a little bit of historyI forgot

769
00:31:03,500 --> 00:31:05,300
because when we first did

770
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:08,133
test, it was only the tech schools

771
00:31:08,133 --> 00:31:10,834
that were fighting against it and we fought.

772
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:13,867
But after two years, our kids,

773
00:31:13,867 --> 00:31:15,100
all of the tech schools

774
00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:17,433
were beating every other school,

775
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,467
you know. So

776
00:31:20,467 --> 00:31:23,100
I don't think it has harmed us that we,

777
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:25,100
you know, the way we went because we went through

778
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,734
every single question on that exam,

779
00:31:26,734 --> 00:31:29,033
on the very first exam we did,

780
00:31:29,033 --> 00:31:30,100
you know, and said,

781
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,000
are we missing something that,

782
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,300
you know,

783
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:36,000
in their regular education?other kids are getting

784
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,100
And the only thing was poetry, which I noticed

785
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,867
everybody is lousy on anyway,

786
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:44,667
everywhere in the hallway,

787
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:45,867
you know, at one point,

788
00:31:45,867 --> 00:31:47,934
you know, and I argued with the head

789
00:31:47,934 --> 00:31:49,867
of the English department at the time,

790
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:52,066
and he said, Hey, it's poetry.

791
00:31:52,533 --> 00:31:54,467
I said, It's the English language.

792
00:31:54,467 --> 00:31:56,133
All they had to do

793
00:31:56,133 --> 00:31:58,900
was tell you what it meant.

794
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:01,867
So you don't teach poetry as it wasn't rhyme.

795
00:32:01,867 --> 00:32:03,867
It wasn't any of that.

796
00:32:03,867 --> 00:32:06,033
It's it's to make kids aware

797
00:32:06,033 --> 00:32:07,433
that they can't be afraid of poetry.

798
00:32:07,433 --> 00:32:08,567
It's just like anything else.

799
00:32:08,567 --> 00:32:11,166
Sure, we can figure it out. And.

800
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:13,500
But now I'll go to the scores.

801
00:32:13,834 --> 00:32:15,533
I'm a little disappointed in math.

802
00:32:15,533 --> 00:32:16,700
Especially.

803
00:32:16,867 --> 00:32:18,500
Especially because

804
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,000
for the longest time we were in like,

805
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,900
the top grade

806
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,767
of all schools in the state, you know?

807
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,533
So when I see, you know, we come

808
00:32:27,533 --> 00:32:32,266
below Bill Ricker in math and it's like I,

809
00:32:32,266 --> 00:32:34,700
I mean, Bedford has always

810
00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:36,533
either been even with us or beat us.

811
00:32:36,533 --> 00:32:39,333
So, you know, just by a little bit,

812
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:42,133
but not much, you know.

813
00:32:42,133 --> 00:32:44,133
So I was a little disappointed in that.

814
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:47,900
And, you know, and and I like comparisons,

815
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:49,867
but see, and that's what we always do

816
00:32:49,867 --> 00:32:52,033
as compared to other years.

817
00:32:52,033 --> 00:32:53,934
There's no comparison to other years.

818
00:32:53,934 --> 00:32:56,500
not sure you can really compare itAnd this one, I'm

819
00:32:56,500 --> 00:32:59,100
because of the last three years we've been through has been

820
00:32:59,033 --> 00:33:00,533
help. But

821
00:33:01,567 --> 00:33:02,567
so I would

822
00:33:02,567 --> 00:33:04,033
just like to see those scores go up.

823
00:33:04,033 --> 00:33:05,900
I you know,

824
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:08,367
I fought on the app

825
00:33:08,667 --> 00:33:10,066
on the floor,

826
00:33:10,066 --> 00:33:13,533
you know, for to get rid of outcasts just like everybody else

827
00:33:13,533 --> 00:33:15,700
and this type of school.

828
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:18,433
And like after three years, you know,

829
00:33:18,433 --> 00:33:20,100
the Department of Education came to us

830
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:23,100
and said, are you still fighting this?

831
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:25,667
we just don't like the notion of it.Now? Say, Yeah,

832
00:33:25,667 --> 00:33:28,567
You know what I mean?

833
00:33:28,567 --> 00:33:30,100
Our kids have excelled at

834
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,667
teaching, stepped up to the plate.

835
00:33:31,667 --> 00:33:33,100
So it showed that, yes,

836
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:35,333
we can do this only, you know,

837
00:33:35,333 --> 00:33:37,533
50% of the time kids

838
00:33:37,533 --> 00:33:39,567
are in an academic classroom.

839
00:33:39,567 --> 00:33:42,834
all of the schools in the area,They can beat out

840
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,734
which was amazing to me.

841
00:33:44,734 --> 00:33:45,834
You know,

842
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:48,100
So and I'm not sure

843
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,100
if what they intend to do with this

844
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:51,700
test is correct.

845
00:33:52,867 --> 00:33:54,533
You know, I mean, I,

846
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:56,900
I don't really like this type of testing,

847
00:33:56,900 --> 00:33:59,367
but you have to have some way of

848
00:34:00,266 --> 00:34:01,133
of measuring

849
00:34:01,133 --> 00:34:03,567
the standards, you know,like when students met

850
00:34:03,734 --> 00:34:06,133
with the children that you knowand I have a problem

851
00:34:06,133 --> 00:34:07,066
because

852
00:34:07,734 --> 00:34:10,367
I don't believe we ever had

853
00:34:10,367 --> 00:34:11,867
I don't know in the last few years

854
00:34:11,867 --> 00:34:13,066
if we've ever had a student

855
00:34:13,066 --> 00:34:15,734
not pass the test.

856
00:34:15,734 --> 00:34:18,033
So is it still possible that you can do it by

857
00:34:18,266 --> 00:34:20,033
what was it, a file or something?

858
00:34:20,033 --> 00:34:21,533
You'd Absolutely. Yeah.

859
00:34:21,533 --> 00:34:23,934
You can do a competency portfolio.

860
00:34:23,934 --> 00:34:25,300
Well, we can do

861
00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:27,834
and that's part of the reason we putcohort appeals

862
00:34:27,834 --> 00:34:29,300
all these kids in a cohort

863
00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:31,333
part of the appeal process.is because that's

864
00:34:31,533 --> 00:34:33,900
if you're going to put in for an appeal,Also,

865
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:36,266
you have to show that students have participated

866
00:34:36,266 --> 00:34:38,033
in a remediation, right?

867
00:34:38,033 --> 00:34:40,000
why we're so big into this piece.So that's

868
00:34:40,166 --> 00:34:41,700
One thing I will say

869
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:43,533
about where we're landing,about your comment

870
00:34:45,133 --> 00:34:46,433
a lot of vocational

871
00:34:46,433 --> 00:34:48,166
schools are prepping their students.

872
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:51,233
180 days for these tests.

873
00:34:51,433 --> 00:34:53,767
They pull them out of shop, they pull four

874
00:34:53,767 --> 00:34:55,166
for all three tests.

875
00:34:55,166 --> 00:34:57,734
I spoke with Minuteman recently

876
00:34:57,734 --> 00:35:00,300
because their scores increased drastically this year.

877
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,533
if we were to shift that way,And we as a community,

878
00:35:04,533 --> 00:35:07,433
that would drastically change the way we do things here.

879
00:35:07,433 --> 00:35:09,066
And I don't think

880
00:35:09,066 --> 00:35:10,567
the direction we want to go.

881
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:13,233
you know, we are prepping these kidsBut I just

882
00:35:13,233 --> 00:35:16,100
in less than half of the time

883
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:17,900
in a lot of these vocational schools

884
00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:19,467
have started to backpedal

885
00:35:19,467 --> 00:35:21,266
and take away more time out of shop

886
00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:22,900
to try to do this prep.

887
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:26,133
And we're really committed to not to do that.

888
00:35:26,133 --> 00:35:28,100
I wouldn't suggest that

889
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:29,300
I'm so just, you know,

890
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:31,667
looking at the next gen questions,

891
00:35:32,033 --> 00:35:34,100
when will those go into effect?

892
00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:35,634
They already are very.

893
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:36,333
So yeah.

894
00:35:36,333 --> 00:35:38,834
Do you have any concerns with those

895
00:35:39,033 --> 00:35:41,066
seem to be taking this test

896
00:35:41,066 --> 00:35:43,133
that for several years

897
00:35:43,133 --> 00:35:45,700
they were taking their math on Zoom.you know

898
00:35:46,300 --> 00:35:48,066
Are you worried about that?

899
00:35:50,033 --> 00:35:52,133
So our teachers are excellent

900
00:35:52,133 --> 00:35:54,634
and they are able to figure out

901
00:35:54,634 --> 00:35:56,133
the deficits of students and students.

902
00:35:56,133 --> 00:35:57,367
Do you have deficits right now?

903
00:35:57,367 --> 00:35:59,900
We all have deficits from Calvin.

904
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:01,700
Any student in any public education

905
00:36:01,700 --> 00:36:04,367
has a deficit somewhere.

906
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:06,500
I'm it's more

907
00:36:06,500 --> 00:36:08,467
that it's very challenging for students

908
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:11,734
to almost navigate the platform

909
00:36:11,734 --> 00:36:14,533
and you know if they had on that one where they had

910
00:36:14,533 --> 00:36:17,634
to pick the line in the slope, if they had just moved the line

911
00:36:17,634 --> 00:36:19,233
or stepped up one point,

912
00:36:19,233 --> 00:36:21,734
that entire question is wiped out.

913
00:36:21,734 --> 00:36:23,500
So we really work

914
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,166
hard on the interventions to

915
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:29,634
just like a couple more points.to get them

916
00:36:29,634 --> 00:36:31,867
But it has changed the way we prep them

917
00:36:31,867 --> 00:36:34,133
and that in the tests in general.

918
00:36:34,133 --> 00:36:37,233
So because our population has changed,

919
00:36:38,533 --> 00:36:40,934
we are seeing students with more need

920
00:36:41,166 --> 00:36:43,367
and more intensive

921
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:47,634
remediation needs.

922
00:36:47,634 --> 00:36:49,700
I just to comment,

923
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:51,367
I'm always proud of the science schools

924
00:36:51,367 --> 00:36:52,066
because

925
00:36:53,100 --> 00:36:55,734
my hat's off to the State Department.

926
00:36:55,734 --> 00:36:58,367
I was part of this whole process

927
00:36:58,367 --> 00:37:00,567
in preparing to your comment.

928
00:37:00,567 --> 00:37:02,734
when I knew it was time to talk about thisYeah,

929
00:37:02,734 --> 00:37:04,867
back in 2007, it was the first time

930
00:37:04,867 --> 00:37:06,667
it came on.

931
00:37:06,667 --> 00:37:07,900
I was kind of nervous.

932
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:09,634
The people I work with is like, Wow.

933
00:37:09,634 --> 00:37:11,066
We thought, Oh my God,

934
00:37:11,066 --> 00:37:12,834
to what's going to happen here?what are we going

935
00:37:12,834 --> 00:37:16,100
Because it took the individuality away.

936
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:19,000
for four months, you can't do that.If I wanted to teach Bradley

937
00:37:19,233 --> 00:37:22,767
So I said, okay, I embrace that.

938
00:37:22,767 --> 00:37:25,567
And this is the I always tell the kids,

939
00:37:25,567 --> 00:37:27,634
the standards that you need to know.these are

940
00:37:28,033 --> 00:37:30,033
And if you do it, I want you to do well.

941
00:37:30,033 --> 00:37:31,867
And I think our staff

942
00:37:31,867 --> 00:37:33,533
does an incredible job.

943
00:37:33,533 --> 00:37:35,033
Get them there in the time

944
00:37:35,033 --> 00:37:36,867
the time we have to work with.

945
00:37:36,867 --> 00:37:38,033
And, you know, I don't want

946
00:37:38,033 --> 00:37:39,867
we never taught to the test.

947
00:37:39,867 --> 00:37:42,033
We always did the curriculum.

948
00:37:42,033 --> 00:37:44,533
And from what I my standpoint, all the people I work with

949
00:37:44,533 --> 00:37:46,233
get the curriculum done.

950
00:37:46,233 --> 00:37:47,934
And they were in my field,

951
00:37:47,934 --> 00:37:50,433
the my kids went into that test ready to go and yes.

952
00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:51,467
And the other side.

953
00:37:51,467 --> 00:37:54,033
thank you so much because I our studentsDanika,

954
00:37:54,066 --> 00:37:56,033
yeah we have so many opportunities

955
00:37:56,033 --> 00:37:58,834
if they don't make the grade to help them out

956
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,367
and I'm going to say a tough you to fail you know know

957
00:38:01,634 --> 00:38:03,100
and so I know the state keeps

958
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:05,767
show about this next gentweaking this thing

959
00:38:05,767 --> 00:38:08,100
because I hear about people who work with

960
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,066
the next gen is the

961
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:13,467
in my opinion the test was fine

962
00:38:13,467 --> 00:38:16,467
let's make it a little more challenging.but the state says, yeah,

963
00:38:16,467 --> 00:38:19,467
before they get to a math problem,You know, the fact that I mean,

964
00:38:19,467 --> 00:38:21,066
they have four choices and the kids are lucky.

965
00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:23,333
Guess I'll go with C today, you know,

966
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:25,133
now you got to work out the thing

967
00:38:25,133 --> 00:38:26,767
and you know, like

968
00:38:26,767 --> 00:38:29,266
and all the other stuff that now they make you think about a little more.

969
00:38:29,266 --> 00:38:31,867
So that's what the state started to trick out these kids.

970
00:38:31,867 --> 00:38:34,700
But, but I mean I know what they are

971
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:36,700
and that I know and I don't want to do it.

972
00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:39,533
M.A., I kids need vocational time

973
00:38:40,066 --> 00:38:42,834
but thank you for everythingand that's most important,

974
00:38:42,834 --> 00:38:44,567
and all the staff that's doing it.you're doing

975
00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:46,233
I think

976
00:38:46,233 --> 00:38:48,133
we can hold our heads high, you know?

977
00:38:48,133 --> 00:38:48,533
Yeah.

978
00:38:48,734 --> 00:38:50,367
Thank you.

979
00:38:50,367 --> 00:38:51,133
All right.

980
00:38:51,634 --> 00:38:53,867
I know that currently are

981
00:38:53,867 --> 00:38:55,900
presenting to students any accommodation

982
00:38:56,634 --> 00:38:59,433
accommodations is in the low thirties.

983
00:38:59,433 --> 00:39:02,867
What was it, two, three, five, ten years ago

984
00:39:03,567 --> 00:39:09,000
It was more in the, like low twenties.

985
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,867
I can get you the exact data.

986
00:39:10,867 --> 00:39:12,734
Didn't need to adjust one think

987
00:39:12,734 --> 00:39:17,066
because around 2536 we we hover around

988
00:39:17,266 --> 00:39:19,700
but it depends on the specific tests

989
00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:22,333
like so our general population right now is a

990
00:39:22,333 --> 00:39:26,066
is a little bit over 36% like it's a pretty

991
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:28,133
and that's just a piece

992
00:39:28,133 --> 00:39:30,867
that's not final fours.

993
00:39:30,867 --> 00:39:32,834
So based on the test

994
00:39:32,834 --> 00:39:35,433
I would say it's about it's increased

995
00:39:35,433 --> 00:39:37,033
probably by about 10%.

996
00:39:37,033 --> 00:39:39,333
So you know from like you

997
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:42,100
realize

998
00:39:42,634 --> 00:39:45,000
it's not like I think

999
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,700
I have one more thing to present on.

1000
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:52,100
So this conference is called

1001
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,033
the Education 2.0 Conference.

1002
00:39:54,033 --> 00:39:56,066
Conference is held in Dubai,

1003
00:39:56,066 --> 00:39:58,734
in Vegas, twice a year.

1004
00:39:58,734 --> 00:39:59,667
I got it.

1005
00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:01,500
I was glad in contact with

1006
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:03,133
because I

1007
00:40:03,133 --> 00:40:05,333
received a nomination for an Outstanding

1008
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,100
International Leadership Award.

1009
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:10,433
I was one of 4700 nominees

1010
00:40:10,433 --> 00:40:15,333
and the panel narrowed it down to 1567.

1011
00:40:16,033 --> 00:40:18,667
So I was contacted,

1012
00:40:18,667 --> 00:40:20,266
I interviewed for the award,

1013
00:40:20,266 --> 00:40:22,433
and I was passed on to round two

1014
00:40:22,433 --> 00:40:24,000
where I had to submit a report,

1015
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,066
written application

1016
00:40:26,066 --> 00:40:31,100
based on those five categories.

1017
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:42,100
And so I won the award.

1018
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,333
So I'm one of 70 people.

1019
00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:47,634
Businesses recognized that the conference,

1020
00:40:47,834 --> 00:40:49,300
and that's out of four category.

1021
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:51,033
So I'm one of 15

1022
00:40:51,033 --> 00:40:53,100
in this International Outstanding

1023
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:54,934
Leadership Award.

1024
00:40:54,934 --> 00:40:57,467
I'm going to travel to Las VegasSo in March

1025
00:40:57,900 --> 00:40:59,333
and receive my award

1026
00:40:59,333 --> 00:41:01,567
and I get to sit on a panel

1027
00:41:01,567 --> 00:41:03,000
on the topic of upskilling

1028
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,300
and reskilling for career transitions,

1029
00:41:05,867 --> 00:41:08,033
of evolving industries.meaning the demands

1030
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:11,133
So I'm pretty proud and excited

1031
00:41:11,233 --> 00:41:13,734
to make The graduate work.

1032
00:41:13,734 --> 00:41:15,066
If you want to go, I'll go with you.

1033
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:17,000
Don't worry.

1034
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,533
I already

1035
00:41:19,834 --> 00:41:21,166
cover your desk.

1036
00:41:21,166 --> 00:41:23,634
I asked if she needed to go to Vegas

1037
00:41:23,734 --> 00:41:25,934
to be your handler.

1038
00:41:25,934 --> 00:41:28,033
Well, that's awesome. Do

1039
00:41:29,734 --> 00:41:31,266
super strategist and everything.

1040
00:41:31,266 --> 00:41:34,066
So thank you once again.

1041
00:41:34,166 --> 00:41:43,700
I think it.

1042
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:45,000
Okay,

1043
00:41:45,133 --> 00:41:47,634
you want the next item,

1044
00:41:47,634 --> 00:41:50,033
which would be approval of the bill the role

1045
00:41:51,033 --> 00:41:53,333
the should be approved

1046
00:41:53,333 --> 00:41:55,166
the bill of how it will span

1047
00:41:55,166 --> 00:41:58,133
the total of 1200 dollars

1048
00:41:58,133 --> 00:42:00,567
which means second discussion

1049
00:42:01,033 --> 00:42:02,333
of all those in favor.

1050
00:42:02,333 --> 00:42:05,100
I proposed the house

1051
00:42:07,033 --> 00:42:10,066
and will we approve the metal McAvoy Bill,

1052
00:42:10,066 --> 00:42:13,734
But are we approving the 1424 and the 1166?

1053
00:42:14,233 --> 00:42:16,667
Did we not approve that to 58?

1054
00:42:16,667 --> 00:42:18,266
Because no, we didn't think he was

1055
00:42:18,266 --> 00:42:20,033
criss crossing the bill.

1056
00:42:20,033 --> 00:42:22,066
Sounds like I sent out a new bill today.

1057
00:42:22,066 --> 00:42:24,467
said to us when they took theThe thing they

1058
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:27,834
1166 and

1059
00:42:27,834 --> 00:42:29,367
whatever the top Democrat

1060
00:42:29,367 --> 00:42:31,367
11 individual, 1152.

1061
00:42:31,367 --> 00:42:33,500
So that's not even when

1062
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:36,500
they took out the postage. Now

1063
00:42:37,634 --> 00:42:42,100
1152 11 extension.

1064
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:43,133
So you're doing the motion on that?

1065
00:42:43,133 --> 00:42:45,667
Yes. I'm just going to I'll second

1066
00:42:46,033 --> 00:42:49,533
I want you to file discussion all in favor.

1067
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:50,467
All right.

1068
00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:53,700
I always, you know,

1069
00:42:54,033 --> 00:42:56,734
move them or the cleanup bill

1070
00:42:56,734 --> 00:42:59,634
for $709.50 second,

1071
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,000
you know, the second

1072
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,567
discussion is a quick one.

1073
00:43:03,567 --> 00:43:06,133
You sort of clarification question for Tony.

1074
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:08,000
In light of the issue

1075
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,433
that led to this particular bill and firing,

1076
00:43:12,567 --> 00:43:13,433
do you anticipate

1077
00:43:13,433 --> 00:43:16,033
this is going to be an ongoing

1078
00:43:16,367 --> 00:43:18,367
involvement by the firm

1079
00:43:18,367 --> 00:43:21,133
getting closer to resolutionor is the issue

1080
00:43:21,133 --> 00:43:23,100
so that hopefully

1081
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:24,900
that will be indeed the case?

1082
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:27,467
You don't foresee a need them unless

1083
00:43:27,467 --> 00:43:29,066
there is a change in

1084
00:43:30,433 --> 00:43:31,700
service delivery.

1085
00:43:31,700 --> 00:43:32,033
Okay.

1086
00:43:32,033 --> 00:43:34,433
So for I think for now, I think we should be.

1087
00:43:34,433 --> 00:43:35,066
Good morning.

1088
00:43:35,066 --> 00:43:35,900
All right.

1089
00:43:35,900 --> 00:43:36,667
Thank you

1090
00:43:38,033 --> 00:43:39,333
for that.

1091
00:43:39,934 --> 00:43:41,033
It's not

1092
00:43:41,533 --> 00:43:43,567
you know, and so

1093
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,333
we didn't

1094
00:43:56,333 --> 00:44:00,100
have any more motions

1095
00:44:06,133 --> 00:44:08,533
and hopefully will on

1096
00:44:22,066 --> 00:44:22,934
this.

1097
00:44:23,767 --> 00:44:25,133
They make a comment.

1098
00:44:25,133 --> 00:44:26,166
I'm going to say it's Danica,

1099
00:44:26,166 --> 00:44:28,100
because when you ask

1100
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:30,867
what the percentage of the students and how

1101
00:44:31,233 --> 00:44:33,934
and then if you notice that,

1102
00:44:33,934 --> 00:44:36,266
how many of our ascending schools come below us,

1103
00:44:36,266 --> 00:44:38,033
and even though they're children

1104
00:44:38,033 --> 00:44:41,100
that need help as much.

1105
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:42,000
Yeah, we have

1106
00:44:43,567 --> 00:44:44,934
we do very well.

1107
00:44:44,934 --> 00:44:47,767
You do excellent with our student.

1108
00:44:47,767 --> 00:44:49,500
We also find kids in these services

1109
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:51,467
that have been found

1110
00:44:51,467 --> 00:45:17,100
right here.

1111
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:20,433
You think you wanted us to them?

1112
00:45:20,433 --> 00:45:23,066
We were already in the middle of motion.

1113
00:45:23,867 --> 00:45:28,533
and the motion was made and seconded.Yeah,

1114
00:45:28,900 --> 00:45:31,934
discussion on the last billAnd we had some

1115
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:39,100
with Third Avenue.

1116
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:41,567
And on that part,

1117
00:45:41,567 --> 00:45:45,066
although in favor, I opposed that.

1118
00:45:45,066 --> 00:45:48,033
I was next

1119
00:45:49,133 --> 00:45:50,867
to the individual problem.

1120
00:45:50,867 --> 00:45:56,100
That was September 26, 2023.

1121
00:45:56,100 --> 00:46:01,166
So the minutes of second child with Cheryl.

1122
00:46:01,166 --> 00:46:03,634
Any discussion on whether or not

1123
00:46:03,767 --> 00:46:05,433
just an observation

1124
00:46:05,433 --> 00:46:07,100
for people who don't see

1125
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:09,000
every committee meeting,

1126
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,233
it should be noted that

1127
00:46:11,233 --> 00:46:13,734
Cheryl raised similar issues

1128
00:46:13,734 --> 00:46:16,667
or raised and pulled a comment tonight in.

1129
00:46:16,667 --> 00:46:18,166
The superintendent already indicated

1130
00:46:18,166 --> 00:46:19,867
he would set a process in motion

1131
00:46:19,867 --> 00:46:21,367
for addressing the issue

1132
00:46:21,367 --> 00:46:23,567
related to the dress code policy

1133
00:46:24,834 --> 00:46:27,734
that should be mentioned in later comments.

1134
00:46:27,734 --> 00:46:30,467
Yes, since you brought that up, I know

1135
00:46:30,467 --> 00:46:32,233
I talked about well,

1136
00:46:32,233 --> 00:46:33,166
Jessica is

1137
00:46:33,166 --> 00:46:35,934
the principal was one of the main people that has to do with that

1138
00:46:35,934 --> 00:46:37,567
with the school council.

1139
00:46:37,567 --> 00:46:41,033
And I think we're going to bring her in next month at the meeting.

1140
00:46:41,033 --> 00:46:42,233
A better discussion.

1141
00:46:42,233 --> 00:46:45,066
how she's happily marriedBut I guess, you know,

1142
00:46:45,066 --> 00:46:48,300
now and enjoying her honeymoon still.

1143
00:46:48,467 --> 00:46:50,266
Right. Thank you.

1144
00:46:50,266 --> 00:46:51,700
And would you also have any discussion

1145
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:54,367
on the minutes, if not all in favor,

1146
00:46:54,367 --> 00:46:56,734
I suppose?

1147
00:46:56,734 --> 00:47:00,467
Unanimous.

1148
00:47:00,467 --> 00:47:00,900
Okay.

1149
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:03,767
Next is the business manager's report.

1150
00:47:05,233 --> 00:47:09,467
So I haven't done anything.

1151
00:47:09,467 --> 00:47:12,767
So what's going around is the year

1152
00:47:12,767 --> 00:47:14,500
the budget report by department.

1153
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:17,133
So notices will change every time you see me.

1154
00:47:17,133 --> 00:47:18,500
Hopefully so.

1155
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:21,000
We're about 26% of our budget

1156
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,867
has been spent,

1157
00:47:22,867 --> 00:47:24,500
which aligns with where we are.

1158
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:27,900
The fiscal year.

1159
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:29,500
Like I said, many of the overages

1160
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:31,266
are just because of salary

1161
00:47:31,266 --> 00:47:32,867
that needs to be moved around.

1162
00:47:32,867 --> 00:47:35,166
But otherwise we're in pretty good

1163
00:47:35,166 --> 00:47:41,133
standing in all departments.

1164
00:47:41,133 --> 00:47:43,834
I wanted to tell you is that we didAnd then the other thing

1165
00:47:43,834 --> 00:47:47,567
sell the 1968 Ford F 100

1166
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,000
for 9200 and got deals

1167
00:47:51,233 --> 00:47:54,467
and then the Roadster, the 1927 Roadster,

1168
00:47:54,467 --> 00:47:58,066
we sold for $15,411.

1169
00:47:58,333 --> 00:48:00,500
So the truck had 47 bids,

1170
00:48:00,634 --> 00:48:03,133
the Roadster had 68 bids.

1171
00:48:03,266 --> 00:48:06,000
So we came in at about 24,000

1172
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,333
and the funny thing is the truck,

1173
00:48:08,333 --> 00:48:10,867
it was the person who sold it to us.the person who bought

1174
00:48:11,133 --> 00:48:13,300
So we got the truck back. Yes.

1175
00:48:14,367 --> 00:48:16,900
And the other person that

1176
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:19,900
one drove all the way from Minnesota,

1177
00:48:19,900 --> 00:48:23,533
I believe, to tell about the Roadster.

1178
00:48:23,533 --> 00:48:25,033
So that was a that was a

1179
00:48:25,033 --> 00:48:27,667
first for me to auction off vehicles.

1180
00:48:27,667 --> 00:48:30,133
And Julia Santos is our purchase.

1181
00:48:30,133 --> 00:48:33,033
She did a really good job with everything, and it worked out great.

1182
00:48:33,033 --> 00:48:35,000
So now that deal cost us the check

1183
00:48:35,100 --> 00:48:36,500
that money

1184
00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:39,000
will go back to automotive because they did

1185
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,634
when they were refurbishing them.put money into these vehicles

1186
00:48:41,634 --> 00:48:44,033
So go back to their revolving thing.

1187
00:48:44,033 --> 00:48:46,767
About 24 cases in 24 came in two sales.

1188
00:48:47,133 --> 00:48:49,100
One sale was about 9200,

1189
00:48:49,100 --> 00:48:51,133
the other was about 50,000.

1190
00:48:51,133 --> 00:48:53,533
They'll take a percentage. Yup.

1191
00:48:53,533 --> 00:48:55,934
So they take 12.5%

1192
00:48:55,934 --> 00:48:57,166
and then the difference

1193
00:48:57,166 --> 00:48:59,133
will come to us and we'll put it back

1194
00:48:59,133 --> 00:49:02,000
unless somebody has an issue with that.into automotive revolving

1195
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,934
But they did put money into those vehicles through the year.

1196
00:49:04,934 --> 00:49:07,033
to have them out of the way.Yeah, and they're happy

1197
00:49:07,033 --> 00:49:09,533
especially the Roadster didn't have a top,The storage is difficult,

1198
00:49:09,533 --> 00:49:11,233
so it always had to be inside.

1199
00:49:11,233 --> 00:49:14,300
So it was kind of rotated around our garage.

1200
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:15,767
So those are the main things to me.

1201
00:49:15,767 --> 00:49:16,433
The other stuff

1202
00:49:17,233 --> 00:49:18,133
we're going to talk about,

1203
00:49:18,133 --> 00:49:20,033
the budget concern and that,

1204
00:49:20,033 --> 00:49:21,567
but that will come under Tony.

1205
00:49:21,567 --> 00:49:23,700
But we work together on a couple of things

1206
00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:25,900
for the budget timeline

1207
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:28,233
and then the auditing stuff will come from you.

1208
00:49:28,233 --> 00:49:30,133
So all my updates are kind of embedded

1209
00:49:30,133 --> 00:49:32,133
in your updates

1210
00:49:32,133 --> 00:49:34,700
unless there are any questions from me about anything else

1211
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:36,867
I got this in the mail.that I'm just sorry

1212
00:49:36,867 --> 00:49:38,100
We all get used to mail.

1213
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:41,166
I guess politics and I, as we read it,Yeah,

1214
00:49:41,367 --> 00:49:43,367
you know, the term caught my eye

1215
00:49:43,367 --> 00:49:46,000
and it said members are askingand I'm sure everybody

1216
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,233
committee authority in the budget process?what is the school

1217
00:49:48,567 --> 00:49:50,734
And I think what's going on here is what you are

1218
00:49:50,734 --> 00:49:52,233
you're doing an incredible job

1219
00:49:52,233 --> 00:49:53,834
because stuff like this didn't

1220
00:49:53,834 --> 00:49:55,233
happen before.

1221
00:49:55,233 --> 00:49:56,533
So I'm not going to read this.

1222
00:49:56,533 --> 00:49:58,266
Everybody can read it on their own time.

1223
00:49:58,266 --> 00:49:59,166
But you're giving us

1224
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,433
a bullet point to

1225
00:50:01,433 --> 00:50:03,033
current year to date expenditures

1226
00:50:03,033 --> 00:50:04,667
of the conferences, and that's awesome.

1227
00:50:04,667 --> 00:50:05,867
You know what's going on?

1228
00:50:05,867 --> 00:50:07,900
You're telling this 26% of the budget

1229
00:50:07,900 --> 00:50:10,900
is spent, the approved budget of just

1230
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:12,867
the budget projection

1231
00:50:12,867 --> 00:50:14,834
of all remaining expenditures.

1232
00:50:14,834 --> 00:50:18,100
So people ask, do members especially, you know, what do we what do we do?

1233
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:20,567
And I'm the chairman of the Budget Committee, get involved with this.

1234
00:50:20,567 --> 00:50:23,467
And I know we're almost in budget deficit, believe it or not,

1235
00:50:23,467 --> 00:50:26,100
and I'll leave you with oncebecause they say, sit here

1236
00:50:26,100 --> 00:50:29,033
you elected to office, you have been told there are five seated seasons of the edge

1237
00:50:29,033 --> 00:50:32,033
fall, winter and budget season.on a spring, summer,

1238
00:50:32,033 --> 00:50:33,533
So and I know

1239
00:50:33,533 --> 00:50:35,100
this year, knock on wood, it's going to go

1240
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:37,367
real smooth, right, ladies and gentlemen, very soon.

1241
00:50:37,567 --> 00:50:39,300
So that's something people could read it.

1242
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:42,667
that Tony and I are already discussing.Thank you for all the work

1243
00:50:42,667 --> 00:50:44,634
and some things are going to doBudget season

1244
00:50:44,634 --> 00:50:46,834
that we didn't do last yeardifferently this year

1245
00:50:46,834 --> 00:50:49,467
and maybe some more visuals that I can create

1246
00:50:49,467 --> 00:50:51,033
to compare to previous year.

1247
00:50:51,033 --> 00:50:54,133
So we've been talking about it a lot already

1248
00:50:54,300 --> 00:50:56,533
and in a few minutes we'll start tonight was input

1249
00:50:56,533 --> 00:50:58,500
from this whole group and we'll

1250
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:00,433
try to get some suggestions

1251
00:51:02,934 --> 00:51:03,834
in real time.

1252
00:51:03,834 --> 00:51:06,100
But it has not been working.

1253
00:51:06,734 --> 00:51:08,033
It's been working great.

1254
00:51:08,033 --> 00:51:09,834
Yes, I sent me an email

1255
00:51:09,834 --> 00:51:12,066
to get yours, to check yours, but

1256
00:51:12,233 --> 00:51:14,433
DocuSign is working for us.

1257
00:51:14,667 --> 00:51:16,767
Paying for something a little bit helps

1258
00:51:16,767 --> 00:51:19,033
You have a lot more customization than when you use that.

1259
00:51:19,033 --> 00:51:21,266
We think it sends to us.

1260
00:51:21,266 --> 00:51:23,100
So until it has outside it.

1261
00:51:23,100 --> 00:51:24,767
But we'll keep sending it out

1262
00:51:24,767 --> 00:51:26,133
to for people, sign it.

1263
00:51:26,133 --> 00:51:27,000
Yeah, it stops.

1264
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,166
Great. Great preamble.

1265
00:51:28,166 --> 00:51:29,634
Sorry. Yep.

1266
00:51:29,634 --> 00:51:30,533
Yep. Until you get

1267
00:51:30,533 --> 00:51:32,133
And then the same thing with the

1268
00:51:32,133 --> 00:51:35,000
the payroll one is only two signatures.

1269
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,233
So yeah.

1270
00:51:36,233 --> 00:51:39,066
You the question of of payphones.

1271
00:51:39,066 --> 00:51:40,133
The payphones.

1272
00:51:40,133 --> 00:51:42,000
Yeah. Getting rid of those.

1273
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,166
been trying to reach the company.Bob Lawler's

1274
00:51:45,166 --> 00:51:48,066
They're going to remove all the payphones from the bigger from the building.

1275
00:51:48,467 --> 00:51:49,767
Just for the record,

1276
00:51:49,767 --> 00:51:52,734
I don't think I use a payphone since 1990.

1277
00:51:52,734 --> 00:51:55,233
I know, but if you want to use one,

1278
00:51:55,233 --> 00:51:57,867
do your children know how to use pay to work?

1279
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,033
Because we paid for the set.

1280
00:51:59,033 --> 00:52:01,266
You paid.

1281
00:52:01,266 --> 00:52:02,300
That goes the same category.

1282
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:03,433
You want me to show you how to use?

1283
00:52:03,433 --> 00:52:04,433
It can be.

1284
00:52:04,433 --> 00:52:05,333
I can show you. Okay.

1285
00:52:05,333 --> 00:52:07,066
You have to stick money in it. Yes,

1286
00:52:08,166 --> 00:52:09,166
that's in the shoulder.

1287
00:52:09,166 --> 00:52:10,033
The other

1288
00:52:12,033 --> 00:52:13,367
things are paid for.

1289
00:52:13,367 --> 00:52:14,533
Okay.

1290
00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:17,033
I set the phone to my right hand tap on

1291
00:52:17,033 --> 00:52:18,934
and we set the phones out. Run.either to get them

1292
00:52:18,934 --> 00:52:20,467
I go to the phone and I see kids.

1293
00:52:20,467 --> 00:52:22,233
They look at me.

1294
00:52:22,233 --> 00:52:23,033
I said,

1295
00:52:23,533 --> 00:52:25,066
When I grew up, the phone rang.

1296
00:52:25,066 --> 00:52:26,634
You ran for it.

1297
00:52:26,634 --> 00:52:28,000
What do you mean?

1298
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,567
Walk down the hall or to be in a closet

1299
00:52:30,567 --> 00:52:32,100
talking to the pay

1300
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:34,300
phones will be revealed soon.

1301
00:52:34,300 --> 00:52:36,734
We'll take you there

1302
00:52:36,734 --> 00:52:39,100
and you might be somebody

1303
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,433
else.

1304
00:52:41,433 --> 00:52:42,533
You were the only one.

1305
00:52:42,533 --> 00:52:44,333
Wouldn't have been told about the Cigarets

1306
00:52:44,333 --> 00:52:46,367
and how much I can't use

1307
00:52:46,367 --> 00:52:48,567
with your automotive students.

1308
00:52:48,567 --> 00:52:50,700
Did you share the sale information with them?

1309
00:52:50,700 --> 00:52:52,133
They actually helped load

1310
00:52:52,133 --> 00:52:54,133
everything up on the trailers in the.

1311
00:52:54,367 --> 00:52:55,433
That's when they came.

1312
00:52:55,433 --> 00:52:56,367
They were part of it. Yep.

1313
00:52:56,367 --> 00:52:59,100
They all came out and pitched in was that

1314
00:52:59,467 --> 00:53:02,867
it was a good experience in real time.

1315
00:53:02,867 --> 00:53:05,500
Any questions?

1316
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:07,500
I want you. I do.

1317
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:08,667
All right.

1318
00:53:08,667 --> 00:53:10,367
And if you don't? So

1319
00:53:11,233 --> 00:53:12,100
we've kind of

1320
00:53:12,100 --> 00:53:14,900
given a few hints to some of the stuff that's in this tonight.

1321
00:53:14,900 --> 00:53:16,066
And I do apologize.

1322
00:53:16,066 --> 00:53:18,467
because I wasn't exactly sureThere are some repeats

1323
00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,266
about what our student representative was reporting on

1324
00:53:21,266 --> 00:53:23,000
and what did I get in our presentation.

1325
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,433
we quickly get all of that stuff.But we can

1326
00:53:25,433 --> 00:53:27,834
I didn't want to give everybody an October 1st

1327
00:53:27,834 --> 00:53:29,934
is kind of a defining moment,

1328
00:53:29,934 --> 00:53:31,834
if you will, for school district funding.

1329
00:53:31,834 --> 00:53:33,233
I think most of you know

1330
00:53:33,233 --> 00:53:37,000
that our reimbursement for Employee 25

1331
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
will be based on our first numbers

1332
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,467
for this year.

1333
00:53:40,567 --> 00:53:43,266
these are unofficial at this time,So again,

1334
00:53:43,266 --> 00:53:46,266
but our October 1st numbers were 1306,

1335
00:53:46,634 --> 00:53:49,000
which is a slight increase over last year.

1336
00:53:49,300 --> 00:53:51,066
We are still a little below

1337
00:53:51,066 --> 00:53:54,133
where we were 2021.

1338
00:53:54,133 --> 00:53:57,166
We are almost at the same exact number we had in 2020.

1339
00:53:57,166 --> 00:53:59,533
We were ahead of where we were at 2019.

1340
00:53:59,533 --> 00:54:02,033
So again, there's some trends there.

1341
00:54:02,567 --> 00:54:04,700
If you look, most of our enrollment

1342
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:06,867
and it still records unofficial.was pretty stable

1343
00:54:06,867 --> 00:54:08,934
Bedford's unofficial number stayedActually,

1344
00:54:08,934 --> 00:54:10,567
exactly the same.

1345
00:54:10,567 --> 00:54:13,333
by about four students,The records went up

1346
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:15,266
Burlington's went down by about 12,

1347
00:54:16,734 --> 00:54:19,133
so experience went up about

1348
00:54:19,834 --> 00:54:22,500
12, 12 or 13.

1349
00:54:22,500 --> 00:54:24,467
And Wilmington 12.

1350
00:54:24,467 --> 00:54:26,900
Wilmington was teaching

1351
00:54:28,033 --> 00:54:30,700
Wilmington's went up one.well, Wilmington,

1352
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:32,867
So again, we've seen some pretty,

1353
00:54:33,433 --> 00:54:35,166
pretty consistent numbers.

1354
00:54:35,166 --> 00:54:37,433
Um, and later in the presentation I'll share,

1355
00:54:37,433 --> 00:54:38,767
but I'll share it out now as well.

1356
00:54:38,767 --> 00:54:41,100
The town managers are scheduled to come in the week

1357
00:54:41,100 --> 00:54:44,066
after Thanksgiving again to have a conversation

1358
00:54:44,066 --> 00:54:47,033
about hopefully we finalized some stuff on our budget timeline.

1359
00:54:47,033 --> 00:54:49,033
I'll also share these numbers with them.

1360
00:54:49,033 --> 00:54:51,533
then they'll be verified, approved,Hopefully by

1361
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:54,000
certified, whatever term the state uses.

1362
00:54:54,433 --> 00:54:55,867
And I can again

1363
00:54:55,867 --> 00:54:57,934
also be shared with them as well so that they can see

1364
00:54:58,233 --> 00:54:59,467
how their numbers have increased

1365
00:54:59,467 --> 00:55:02,900
or decreased since last year.

1366
00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:04,734
As far as our enrollment.

1367
00:55:04,734 --> 00:55:06,734
And we are down a little bit

1368
00:55:06,734 --> 00:55:08,367
from September and September,

1369
00:55:08,367 --> 00:55:11,033
we had 315 kids.

1370
00:55:11,033 --> 00:55:12,900
By the time we captured this, enrolled

1371
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:15,767
the enrollment numbers for October 304.

1372
00:55:16,133 --> 00:55:18,867
And again, I pulled this just last week,

1373
00:55:18,867 --> 00:55:21,033
so it doesn't quite jive with the October

1374
00:55:21,033 --> 00:55:23,700
1st numbers were a little bit off.

1375
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:25,500
We have, at this point in time

1376
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:28,066
all of the ninth graders that have appliedaccepted

1377
00:55:28,533 --> 00:55:31,066
and we're about 320.

1378
00:55:31,066 --> 00:55:32,333
We did that so

1379
00:55:32,333 --> 00:55:34,700
that we had in 10th gradeat number of openings

1380
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:36,166
and again increasingly

1381
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:37,700
at grade two, three, 26,

1382
00:55:38,867 --> 00:55:39,734
11th grade

1383
00:55:39,734 --> 00:55:42,266
classes, obviously our strongest at 331.

1384
00:55:42,567 --> 00:55:44,100
And then grade 12 is

1385
00:55:44,100 --> 00:55:46,033
is pretty similar in size

1386
00:55:46,033 --> 00:55:48,000
to our 10th graders

1387
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,133
means that total to 300 and

1388
00:55:51,133 --> 00:55:54,100
and 1304 students for the month of October

1389
00:55:55,934 --> 00:55:59,333
co-op update We're up to 182 students.

1390
00:55:59,333 --> 00:56:01,667
It's up from 175 last month.

1391
00:56:01,667 --> 00:56:04,000
We are supporting 265 local

1392
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,100
employers, students

1393
00:56:06,100 --> 00:56:10,467
that work 28647 hours to date this year

1394
00:56:10,834 --> 00:56:15,900
and over $170,200 placements.

1395
00:56:17,567 --> 00:56:18,867
We have five students

1396
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:20,300
from Bedford participating,

1397
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:23,867
83 from Billerica, 13 from Burlington, 44

1398
00:56:23,867 --> 00:56:26,133
from Duxbury and 37 Wilmington.

1399
00:56:26,467 --> 00:56:29,734
So that 182 out of our 327

1400
00:56:29,734 --> 00:56:31,934
seniors is about 56%

1401
00:56:31,934 --> 00:56:33,533
currently participating.

1402
00:56:33,533 --> 00:56:36,533
We we've had a lot of inquiries.

1403
00:56:36,533 --> 00:56:37,133
I know Mr.

1404
00:56:37,133 --> 00:56:39,567
Smith has been busy meeting with students, meeting

1405
00:56:39,567 --> 00:56:41,834
with business and industry.

1406
00:56:41,834 --> 00:56:43,734
So again, we were close.

1407
00:56:43,734 --> 00:56:46,000
We were actually above 75% last year.

1408
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,367
I think that's our target again this year

1409
00:56:47,367 --> 00:56:49,567
to try to get 75% or

1410
00:56:49,567 --> 00:56:52,233
more of our seniors are on up

1411
00:56:52,233 --> 00:56:53,900
before the end of the school year,

1412
00:56:53,900 --> 00:56:56,066
which is a pretty awesome accomplishment.

1413
00:56:57,300 --> 00:56:59,467
Applications

1414
00:56:59,667 --> 00:57:00,133
and I have

1415
00:57:00,133 --> 00:57:01,834
that I'll talk about afterwards.some stuff

1416
00:57:01,834 --> 00:57:04,367
that was at everybody's stationIt's in everybody's

1417
00:57:04,367 --> 00:57:07,634
when they came in.

1418
00:57:07,634 --> 00:57:10,000
We as of this morning

1419
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,900
were at 206 applications for next school

1420
00:57:14,900 --> 00:57:16,367
to next year's class of freshman

1421
00:57:16,367 --> 00:57:18,467
class, the class of 2028.

1422
00:57:19,166 --> 00:57:21,467
We were at 89 this time last year.

1423
00:57:22,066 --> 00:57:23,433
So there are

1424
00:57:23,433 --> 00:57:25,667
there are quite a few things that have gone into that.

1425
00:57:25,834 --> 00:57:28,500
And I actually maybe I'll touch base on some of these things.

1426
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:31,300
Right now we have created

1427
00:57:32,066 --> 00:57:34,033
and I utilizing a new recruitment

1428
00:57:34,033 --> 00:57:35,767
video that Mr.

1429
00:57:35,767 --> 00:57:38,000
Acevedo and design and visual

1430
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,166
work on with one of his former students.

1431
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:44,166
And I was going back and forth about showing it to every

1432
00:57:44,166 --> 00:57:45,834
I could send it to everybody if you want to see it.

1433
00:57:45,834 --> 00:57:48,100
It's about 20 minutes long.

1434
00:57:48,100 --> 00:57:50,133
So I didn't think that was a great use of our committee.

1435
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:52,066
Time to sit here and watch that,

1436
00:57:52,066 --> 00:57:53,567
but I'll gladly share it out of people

1437
00:57:53,567 --> 00:57:57,367
want to do something for the memory

1438
00:57:57,734 --> 00:58:00,066
somebody might have posted on Facebook.

1439
00:58:00,066 --> 00:58:01,834
Yes, I saw it somewhere yesterday.

1440
00:58:01,834 --> 00:58:02,433
Emailed you that.

1441
00:58:02,433 --> 00:58:03,567
Yeah, I actually you're right.

1442
00:58:03,567 --> 00:58:04,066
I think Mr.

1443
00:58:04,066 --> 00:58:05,667
Bednall had put it up on Facebook, so

1444
00:58:05,667 --> 00:58:07,300
you can search you can search the school's

1445
00:58:07,300 --> 00:58:10,000
social media account or if people want, I can also email it to them.

1446
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:10,700
And that's easier.

1447
00:58:11,867 --> 00:58:14,500
One of the other things that we've done

1448
00:58:14,500 --> 00:58:17,000
for our groups that are going out,

1449
00:58:17,133 --> 00:58:20,033
a lot of our attending schoolsa lot of our excuse me,

1450
00:58:20,033 --> 00:58:21,767
have adopted similar policies

1451
00:58:21,767 --> 00:58:24,100
that we have around cell phones.

1452
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:25,433
So we have a slide

1453
00:58:25,433 --> 00:58:28,000
at the end of the presentation with a QR code on it.

1454
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,500
And as we've been telling students

1455
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:31,133
to take their phone out

1456
00:58:31,133 --> 00:58:33,533
and scan the QR code, we realize that

1457
00:58:33,533 --> 00:58:35,634
that probably wasn't the best look for us.

1458
00:58:36,333 --> 00:58:38,100
So what we've done is

1459
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:40,100
this is actually a direct link

1460
00:58:40,100 --> 00:58:43,867
to the application portal to our students.

1461
00:58:43,867 --> 00:58:46,000
So again, I left a few for everybody.

1462
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
If you want more of them, please let me know.

1463
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,834
We have plenty of them printed.

1464
00:58:49,834 --> 00:58:51,533
some of you are approachedBut again, I know

1465
00:58:51,533 --> 00:58:54,700
neighbors, whatever it is,by community members,

1466
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:57,000
this will take them directly to the new online

1467
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,634
application portal.

1468
00:58:58,634 --> 00:59:01,567
Um, I also went and looked

1469
00:59:01,567 --> 00:59:04,367
right before I came out

1470
00:59:04,367 --> 00:59:06,900
and believe it or not, those

1471
00:59:06,900 --> 00:59:08,133
in those application

1472
00:59:08,133 --> 00:59:10,166
numbers are already out of date.

1473
00:59:10,166 --> 00:59:11,133
At 415

1474
00:59:11,133 --> 00:59:14,033
we were up to 215 applicationsthis afternoon

1475
00:59:15,033 --> 00:59:17,533
and out of that 215, 140,

1476
00:59:17,700 --> 00:59:21,133
145 of them are listed as verified, meaning

1477
00:59:21,133 --> 00:59:23,033
that the application

1478
00:59:23,033 --> 00:59:25,333
has been viewed for accuracy, verified as complete.

1479
00:59:25,567 --> 00:59:28,100
And the next thing is for us to contact

1480
00:59:28,100 --> 00:59:30,533
gathering information on all students.attending schools to start

1481
00:59:31,066 --> 00:59:34,066
55 of them were classified as started,

1482
00:59:34,066 --> 00:59:37,300
meaning that the student had registered or created an account, or the parent

1483
00:59:37,300 --> 00:59:39,433
had registered to create an account but hadn't finished

1484
00:59:39,433 --> 00:59:41,166
the application

1485
00:59:41,166 --> 00:59:44,233
and 12 of them were listed as incomplete,

1486
00:59:44,233 --> 00:59:46,066
meaning that some of the information

1487
00:59:46,066 --> 00:59:48,367
or it was an invalid entry.was entered incorrectly

1488
00:59:48,867 --> 00:59:51,233
put their date of birth in wrong or theAgain, if the kid

1489
00:59:51,233 --> 00:59:54,033
or graduation of their attending school, whatever it may be.

1490
00:59:54,033 --> 00:59:55,734
And then we have three that are pending,

1491
00:59:55,734 --> 00:59:57,900
which from my understanding is

1492
00:59:57,900 --> 00:59:59,367
they're currently in the system

1493
00:59:59,367 --> 01:00:01,667
working on the application.

1494
01:00:01,667 --> 01:00:03,066
So again,

1495
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,934
from when I pulled it

1496
01:00:04,934 --> 01:00:06,700
this first thing this morning to this afternoon,

1497
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:09,133
we gave almost ten applications,

1498
01:00:09,133 --> 01:00:10,233
which I think is pretty awesome.

1499
01:00:10,233 --> 01:00:11,233
Awesome.

1500
01:00:11,433 --> 01:00:12,667
And the other thing

1501
01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:14,166
that we've been working on

1502
01:00:14,166 --> 01:00:15,834
and it is our intent to distribute

1503
01:00:15,834 --> 01:00:19,734
that is an infographicthis at Open House on

1504
01:00:20,100 --> 01:00:22,667
that kind of gives some people some draft general information

1505
01:00:22,667 --> 01:00:24,767
about who are as a school and what we do

1506
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:28,033
to get information on electives

1507
01:00:28,667 --> 01:00:30,867
or secondary plans,

1508
01:00:30,867 --> 01:00:32,634
syllabi, literacy, concurrent

1509
01:00:32,634 --> 01:00:35,834
enrollment, scholarships, core values,

1510
01:00:35,834 --> 01:00:38,166
class size and vocational programs.

1511
01:00:39,133 --> 01:00:40,066
So we are

1512
01:00:40,066 --> 01:00:41,867
we are working on creating something

1513
01:00:41,867 --> 01:00:44,000
that is a nice visual

1514
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,667
of who we are as a school community.representation

1515
01:00:47,467 --> 01:00:50,066
And our ultimate goal

1516
01:00:50,066 --> 01:00:54,133
is to eventually make a like a die cut card.

1517
01:00:54,066 --> 01:00:57,433
It has this information on the back of it, but we're not quite there.

1518
01:00:57,433 --> 01:00:59,000
This is kind of step one in that process.

1519
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,100
we're trying to really help our gameBut again,

1520
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:04,033
and make sure that we have information

1521
01:01:04,033 --> 01:01:05,767
that we can distribute to our

1522
01:01:05,767 --> 01:01:07,734
and the students that are interestedour sending communities

1523
01:01:07,734 --> 01:01:10,567
in our programs.

1524
01:01:10,567 --> 01:01:14,500
And so, again, this is a this is a recap.

1525
01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:16,000
We did

1526
01:01:16,166 --> 01:01:18,767
move to a new application portal.

1527
01:01:19,066 --> 01:01:22,166
It's run by a company called Go to CTE.

1528
01:01:23,066 --> 01:01:24,700
It is very intuitive.

1529
01:01:24,700 --> 01:01:27,700
we can see from the results it's very easyWe found that, again,

1530
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:29,133
for parents and students to get into

1531
01:01:29,133 --> 01:01:31,066
to do all of these things.to create accounts

1532
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:34,433
And it's it also will

1533
01:01:35,634 --> 01:01:38,066
streamline our process for application

1534
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,634
of applications, acceptance of studentsreview

1535
01:01:40,634 --> 01:01:43,000
that have been accepted overand transferring students

1536
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,133
to the app and platform

1537
01:01:45,133 --> 01:01:47,033
that we use to manage student records.

1538
01:01:47,033 --> 01:01:48,867
So all of that stuff

1539
01:01:48,867 --> 01:01:50,266
came online October 1st.

1540
01:01:50,266 --> 01:01:52,233
It's been working really well.

1541
01:01:52,233 --> 01:01:54,533
There's a lot of features

1542
01:01:54,533 --> 01:01:56,700
to this program that we never had before.

1543
01:01:56,700 --> 01:01:59,467
and saw the number of applicationsLike I can go in

1544
01:01:59,467 --> 01:02:01,567
by school, by community,

1545
01:02:02,233 --> 01:02:05,133
by the application status.

1546
01:02:05,834 --> 01:02:06,934
So it's

1547
01:02:06,934 --> 01:02:09,567
I think it's going to really be a super helpful tool for us

1548
01:02:09,567 --> 01:02:11,266
to look and see

1549
01:02:11,266 --> 01:02:12,233
which communities

1550
01:02:12,233 --> 01:02:15,166
have we reached, which ones do we need to we need to spend some more time

1551
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:18,033
with, you know, how

1552
01:02:18,033 --> 01:02:19,166
how impactful is the stuff

1553
01:02:19,166 --> 01:02:21,467
that we've done up

1554
01:02:21,467 --> 01:02:22,166
to this point

1555
01:02:22,166 --> 01:02:24,166
as that we've been out to two schools,

1556
01:02:24,166 --> 01:02:25,834
we've been out to Bedford

1557
01:02:25,834 --> 01:02:27,100
and we've been able to build record

1558
01:02:29,066 --> 01:02:31,533
watching the data come through the portal.

1559
01:02:32,166 --> 01:02:34,734
Wilmington took off

1560
01:02:34,734 --> 01:02:36,834
and we had 45

1561
01:02:36,834 --> 01:02:38,333
or 50 applicants from Wilmington

1562
01:02:38,333 --> 01:02:40,100
almost right out of the gate

1563
01:02:40,100 --> 01:02:41,567
and slowly

1564
01:02:41,567 --> 01:02:43,634
the record of kind of caught up with them.to experience

1565
01:02:43,634 --> 01:02:46,734
right in that 60 range.They're all kind of

1566
01:02:46,734 --> 01:02:48,100
We haven't really seen

1567
01:02:48,100 --> 01:02:51,133
as big of a bump with our Bedford or Burlington numbers yet,

1568
01:02:51,133 --> 01:02:53,900
as we get further into the season,but we're hopeful that, you know,

1569
01:02:53,900 --> 01:02:56,467
we will see some more applications for them.

1570
01:02:57,133 --> 01:02:59,000
What is the presentation?

1571
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,734
that all the eighth graders in the schoolIs that something

1572
01:03:01,734 --> 01:03:04,333
are required to attend can choose to attend?

1573
01:03:04,333 --> 01:03:05,700
Or is it just at lunch?

1574
01:03:05,700 --> 01:03:07,000
What is it?

1575
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,533
So we've been lucky in that we've been given

1576
01:03:09,767 --> 01:03:11,166
we've been given a lot of time.

1577
01:03:11,166 --> 01:03:12,934
So when they went to Billerica,

1578
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,000
I want to say they've had PSAT that day.

1579
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,333
So we actually had two different time slots,

1580
01:03:18,333 --> 01:03:20,367
so we had half the eighth graders for one time.

1581
01:03:20,367 --> 01:03:22,100
So I have the ability on time.

1582
01:03:22,100 --> 01:03:24,033
But at this point

1583
01:03:24,033 --> 01:03:25,133
we have been

1584
01:03:25,133 --> 01:03:27,900
given access to all of the kids.for the most part,

1585
01:03:27,900 --> 01:03:29,300
So an assembly that's in

1586
01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:31,133
an assembly fashion and again,

1587
01:03:31,133 --> 01:03:33,133
some moments a little bit longer, some is a little bit shorter.

1588
01:03:33,367 --> 01:03:34,834
The video is set up

1589
01:03:34,834 --> 01:03:37,734
there's a portion of it that plays.so that there is

1590
01:03:37,734 --> 01:03:40,066
a dedicated group of staff membersAnd then we also have

1591
01:03:40,066 --> 01:03:41,700
that are then going out with the students,

1592
01:03:41,700 --> 01:03:43,367
you know, and they all talk about this.

1593
01:03:43,367 --> 01:03:45,367
about the different clustersThis section's

1594
01:03:45,367 --> 01:03:48,300
programs is information on academics.of our shot

1595
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:50,033
This information on clubs and activities

1596
01:03:50,033 --> 01:03:51,700
is information on athletics.

1597
01:03:51,700 --> 01:03:54,433
So the staff kind of interject themselves into the conversation

1598
01:03:54,433 --> 01:03:56,367
and know students participate as well.

1599
01:03:56,367 --> 01:03:58,367
So we're trying to make it way more interactive

1600
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,300
instead of, you know, an old

1601
01:04:01,300 --> 01:04:03,834
or grumpy white person standing up and talking

1602
01:04:03,834 --> 01:04:05,467
about all the things that the school does.

1603
01:04:05,467 --> 01:04:07,100
We're trying to actually engage the kids

1604
01:04:07,100 --> 01:04:09,066
and showcase the things that we do.

1605
01:04:09,066 --> 01:04:11,000
So and it's again,

1606
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,734
it seems like it's been well received.

1607
01:04:12,734 --> 01:04:14,533
And so now the results

1608
01:04:15,734 --> 01:04:18,000
and we're giving out those who are.

1609
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,033
Yes, it's

1610
01:04:19,033 --> 01:04:21,433
actually just for the first two visits, we didn't have them.

1611
01:04:22,066 --> 01:04:23,000
We have done that.

1612
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,500
coming up this week thatAnd we have some visits

1613
01:04:26,500 --> 01:04:27,000
we did.

1614
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,734
Host John Glenn Middle School

1615
01:04:28,734 --> 01:04:30,500
from Bedford on Wednesday,

1616
01:04:30,500 --> 01:04:32,000
October 18th, and that happened

1617
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,700
a week or so ago.

1618
01:04:33,700 --> 01:04:36,166
They were in the building for the morning and it also happens.

1619
01:04:36,166 --> 01:04:38,266
with a presentation to them.We went over that afternoon

1620
01:04:38,266 --> 01:04:39,900
There we are.

1621
01:04:39,900 --> 01:04:41,000
We've been back and forth.

1622
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,066
We've had a couple of conflicts of national seminars.

1623
01:04:43,567 --> 01:04:44,934
Burlington has agreed to send

1624
01:04:44,934 --> 01:04:47,667
the eighth graders over here,

1625
01:04:47,667 --> 01:04:49,500
have every date that they've proposed

1626
01:04:49,500 --> 01:04:52,033
has kind of fallen on our day for us,

1627
01:04:52,033 --> 01:04:53,066
which really doesn't work.

1628
01:04:53,066 --> 01:04:54,934
So we're still trying to work something out.

1629
01:04:54,934 --> 01:04:57,634
We hope to get them in here before Thanksgiving.

1630
01:04:57,634 --> 01:04:59,033
And again, that will be the first time

1631
01:04:59,033 --> 01:05:00,634
that we've had all of their eighth graders.

1632
01:05:00,634 --> 01:05:01,467
Obviously, the only

1633
01:05:02,333 --> 01:05:04,000
clarification

1634
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:07,033
was the John Glenn visit over here.

1635
01:05:07,033 --> 01:05:09,133
Yes, it was it it was last year.

1636
01:05:09,133 --> 01:05:10,867
Everybody came out. Oh, really? Yeah.

1637
01:05:10,867 --> 01:05:13,266
they sent me an email that a few kids.As far as I understand,

1638
01:05:13,266 --> 01:05:14,333
Oh, yeah.

1639
01:05:14,333 --> 01:05:16,934
A the much earlier this year.

1640
01:05:17,100 --> 01:05:17,667
Yeah.

1641
01:05:17,667 --> 01:05:19,033
We're trying to get out in front of that.

1642
01:05:19,033 --> 01:05:20,433
I also have a,

1643
01:05:20,433 --> 01:05:22,634
I have a phone call scheduled to talk to.

1644
01:05:22,634 --> 01:05:26,066
I'm trying to also broker getting handguns,

1645
01:05:26,333 --> 01:05:27,500
eighth graders over here as well.

1646
01:05:27,500 --> 01:05:29,700
I look today it is about I think it's about 42

1647
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:32,233
or 43/8 graders, a handful.

1648
01:05:32,233 --> 01:05:33,033
And again,

1649
01:05:33,033 --> 01:05:35,066
those are students that select us

1650
01:05:35,066 --> 01:05:37,333
without ever seeing us.

1651
01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:39,066
They do hear our presentation.

1652
01:05:39,066 --> 01:05:41,300
do the roadshow there. ButWe do it to go to go

1653
01:05:41,433 --> 01:05:44,233
and to showcase what we doand to get them over here

1654
01:05:44,233 --> 01:05:45,433
and although none of us

1655
01:05:46,567 --> 01:05:48,367
know, they go to

1656
01:05:48,367 --> 01:05:50,500
I think it's Lincoln for middle school

1657
01:05:50,767 --> 01:05:52,100
and then they go to high school

1658
01:05:52,100 --> 01:05:52,567
in Bedford.

1659
01:05:52,567 --> 01:05:56,066
So a lot of them do choose to come here

1660
01:05:56,634 --> 01:05:57,934
for whatever reason.

1661
01:05:57,934 --> 01:06:00,433
But again, to try to get them here and really showcase what we do,

1662
01:06:00,433 --> 01:06:02,834
I think will help us as well.

1663
01:06:03,233 --> 01:06:05,467
So visits to schools

1664
01:06:05,467 --> 01:06:07,867
Against the record was October 11th,

1665
01:06:08,033 --> 01:06:10,166
Bedford was last Wednesday, the 18th.

1666
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:12,767
Tomorrow will be Burlington.

1667
01:06:12,767 --> 01:06:14,934
This Thursday will be out of hands on

1668
01:06:14,934 --> 01:06:16,767
Friday will be our experience

1669
01:06:16,767 --> 01:06:18,500
and then the Tuesday

1670
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:21,066
before Thanksgiving will be in Wilmington.

1671
01:06:21,066 --> 01:06:23,934
So we had a busy week this week and we going to break

1672
01:06:23,934 --> 01:06:26,233
and then we get one more out of that.for a couple of weeks

1673
01:06:27,066 --> 01:06:28,033
But again, we have

1674
01:06:28,033 --> 01:06:30,166
we have been given access to all present

1675
01:06:30,166 --> 01:06:31,900
in all of the schools, which I think is

1676
01:06:31,900 --> 01:06:34,767
again, is a big win for us.

1677
01:06:34,767 --> 01:06:36,500
Upcoming events.

1678
01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:38,567
This past Friday, Senator Feingold was here.

1679
01:06:38,567 --> 01:06:41,033
it is if you already join meI know, Charlie,

1680
01:06:41,033 --> 01:06:43,333
for his visit,

1681
01:06:43,333 --> 01:06:46,367
about vocational school admissionswe had a nice conversation

1682
01:06:46,367 --> 01:06:49,767
of funding and hoisting regulations and some other things

1683
01:06:49,767 --> 01:06:51,900
had some questions about.that that the senator

1684
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:54,033
So that that was that was good.

1685
01:06:54,033 --> 01:06:56,367
Yesterday, I hosted Matt Hanson,

1686
01:06:56,367 --> 01:06:59,033
who is the new town manager from Bedford.

1687
01:06:59,033 --> 01:06:59,500
He was here.

1688
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:01,033
He spent an hour and a half

1689
01:07:01,033 --> 01:07:02,700
an hour, 45 minutes here.

1690
01:07:02,700 --> 01:07:04,934
It's a nice conversations about,

1691
01:07:04,934 --> 01:07:06,867
to kind of support the community.you know, things we can do

1692
01:07:06,867 --> 01:07:09,066
And he had he had come to the role

1693
01:07:09,066 --> 01:07:11,133
and work with Great Wall.from Gainsborough

1694
01:07:11,133 --> 01:07:13,133
So he was pretty familiar with what we do

1695
01:07:13,133 --> 01:07:15,100
and how we do it and left.

1696
01:07:15,100 --> 01:07:18,100
he had a great experience and is very,And it seemed like

1697
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:20,367
very interested in doing some things in

1698
01:07:20,700 --> 01:07:22,166
as we move forward,

1699
01:07:22,166 --> 01:07:24,066
next Monday, I'm going to host

1700
01:07:24,066 --> 01:07:26,767
Cushman, who is the new super in Bedford.

1701
01:07:26,767 --> 01:07:27,634
He will be here

1702
01:07:28,934 --> 01:07:32,066
again for a campus visit

1703
01:07:32,066 --> 01:07:34,433
next Wednesday is Senator Friedman.

1704
01:07:34,433 --> 01:07:36,266
and I know I've sent this informationAnd I think

1705
01:07:36,266 --> 01:07:38,033
people are welcome to join us if you like,out there, really

1706
01:07:38,033 --> 01:07:39,867

Sunday is a community open housefestival with that

1708
01:07:42,667 --> 01:07:44,266

1709
01:07:44,266 --> 01:07:46,634
manager scheduled to come in hereI have the town

1710
01:07:47,133 --> 01:07:48,533
and again, hopefully

1711
01:07:48,533 --> 01:07:49,867
we can finalize some stuff

1712
01:07:49,867 --> 01:07:52,000
on a timeline to share with them,

1713
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,667
give them an update on where we are as far as capital requests go

1714
01:07:54,667 --> 01:07:57,500
and where we are in the budget cycle, and also share the enrollment

1715
01:07:57,500 --> 01:07:59,467
numbers for the sending communities within that time.

1716
01:08:00,100 --> 01:08:01,634
I also want to solicit

1717
01:08:01,634 --> 01:08:03,900
input and feedback from them

1718
01:08:03,900 --> 01:08:06,033
and have them share, you know what?

1719
01:08:06,033 --> 01:08:07,734
What are their community timelines

1720
01:08:07,734 --> 01:08:09,900
as far as when their budget subcommittees are going to meet

1721
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,367
where they need us to be,

1722
01:08:11,367 --> 01:08:13,934
when we need to be ready to present

1723
01:08:13,934 --> 01:08:16,133
to help support the communities as well.

1724
01:08:16,133 --> 01:08:18,467
And then the last event on the air is

1725
01:08:18,634 --> 01:08:21,266
this has been rescheduled two or threeI've been working,

1726
01:08:21,266 --> 01:08:24,066
times already, but the base commander

1727
01:08:24,066 --> 01:08:26,934
from Hanscom and Colonel Enriquez

1728
01:08:28,166 --> 01:08:29,033
is very

1729
01:08:29,033 --> 01:08:30,467
interested in coming over,

1730
01:08:30,467 --> 01:08:32,133
wants to talk about ways

1731
01:08:32,133 --> 01:08:35,700
that the school can partner with Hanscom and the things that they're

1732
01:08:35,700 --> 01:08:38,500
outreach, things that they have going on.trying to do in some of the community

1733
01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:42,333
So I'm sure one of these days that it'll happen.

1734
01:08:42,333 --> 01:08:44,500
I'm sure she's a busy woman.

1735
01:08:44,500 --> 01:08:47,033
That's going to be a demanding job that she has there.

1736
01:08:47,033 --> 01:08:49,033
And every time you set something

1737
01:08:49,033 --> 01:08:50,767
up, you know, a day or two before

1738
01:08:50,767 --> 01:08:53,100
I've gotten an email saying, Sorry,

1739
01:08:53,100 --> 01:08:54,667
I can't believe you came out.

1740
01:08:54,667 --> 01:08:56,634
So fingers crossed

1741
01:08:56,634 --> 01:08:58,767
she'll be here on the 27th and we can

1742
01:08:59,166 --> 01:09:02,100
you can kind of close the loop on that.

1743
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:03,433
And Danica

1744
01:09:03,433 --> 01:09:05,567
and I'm glad you asked at the last meetingalready talked to this,

1745
01:09:05,567 --> 01:09:08,834
you wanted the numbers are on exceeding and meeting in person meeting.

1746
01:09:08,834 --> 01:09:10,033
So those are in there as well.

1747
01:09:10,033 --> 01:09:12,500
And I know Danica went over all of that stuff already

1748
01:09:13,300 --> 01:09:15,500
on project updates.

1749
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,500
So I had had a suggestion

1750
01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:21,266
and Charlie and I talked about this a little bit

1751
01:09:21,266 --> 01:09:24,033
about ways to kind of update people on some of the things that

1752
01:09:24,033 --> 01:09:26,934
that were done over the summer.

1753
01:09:27,066 --> 01:09:29,367
And we had a conversation about, you know,

1754
01:09:29,367 --> 01:09:31,767
during a school committee meetingdo we really want to spend time

1755
01:09:31,767 --> 01:09:33,367
who all walk around the building and see that

1756
01:09:33,367 --> 01:09:35,367
see some of the renovations were done.

1757
01:09:35,367 --> 01:09:37,066
So my

1758
01:09:37,066 --> 01:09:39,667
I think what kind of Charlie and I came to what my suggestion would be

1759
01:09:39,667 --> 01:09:41,467
if there are people that want to see

1760
01:09:41,467 --> 01:09:43,367
like we renovated the dean's office we've

1761
01:09:43,367 --> 01:09:45,734
we've started to renovate the HBC programyou know

1762
01:09:45,900 --> 01:09:48,000
if you're interested in seeing that stuff,

1763
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,166
I think it may make sense for us to kind of

1764
01:09:50,166 --> 01:09:51,834
have something outside

1765
01:09:51,834 --> 01:09:54,066
of the meeting setting.

1766
01:09:54,066 --> 01:09:55,934
I don't know how much interest there is in that.

1767
01:09:55,934 --> 01:09:57,500
And if there's an item that I took out

1768
01:09:57,500 --> 01:09:59,133
and I might be insulted

1769
01:09:59,133 --> 01:10:01,467
if people don't want to see that stuff.

1770
01:10:01,567 --> 01:10:03,500
But if you're curious and you want to know,

1771
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:05,133
I know we've talked about it.

1772
01:10:05,133 --> 01:10:06,500
We budgeted for a lot of that stuff.

1773
01:10:06,500 --> 01:10:08,133
It was a capital request.

1774
01:10:08,133 --> 01:10:10,000
wanted to make sure happenedIt was things that we

1775
01:10:11,066 --> 01:10:13,166
to support programs and in

1776
01:10:13,533 --> 01:10:15,533
offices and different

1777
01:10:15,533 --> 01:10:17,367
that we provide within the building.different services

1778
01:10:17,367 --> 01:10:20,000
So please let me know

1779
01:10:20,734 --> 01:10:22,367
and we can work on that.

1780
01:10:22,367 --> 01:10:24,100
I was on the phone this morning

1781
01:10:24,100 --> 01:10:26,467
with the architect about the pool repair.

1782
01:10:26,700 --> 01:10:28,533
This might have been a questionI think added

1783
01:10:28,533 --> 01:10:31,000
to the last meeting too.that you would ask

1784
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,066
So we have one

1785
01:10:33,066 --> 01:10:35,300
change order that's already been executed.

1786
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:39,867
So we budgeted $175,000 for that project,

1787
01:10:39,867 --> 01:10:41,266
the capital last year.

1788
01:10:41,266 --> 01:10:43,133
The original contract amount

1789
01:10:43,133 --> 01:10:45,700
was issued for $380,000.

1790
01:10:46,233 --> 01:10:52,266
We had a change order for $31,995.92

1791
01:10:53,500 --> 01:10:55,100
to repair the block wall

1792
01:10:55,100 --> 01:10:57,133
and had all the damage to him.that we uncovered

1793
01:10:58,033 --> 01:11:00,100
They have not finalized

1794
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:02,567
the second change order.

1795
01:11:02,567 --> 01:11:03,900
And again, I was hoping to

1796
01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:06,500
because he told me I have the meeting.and I called him this morning

1797
01:11:06,500 --> 01:11:07,533
I just didn't work out.

1798
01:11:08,433 --> 01:11:10,367
But we currently

1799
01:11:10,367 --> 01:11:12,834
so our our current expenditures on that project

1800
01:11:12,834 --> 01:11:17,000
so far are $411,995.90.

1801
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,333
So we still have about

1802
01:11:19,567 --> 01:11:22,100
$50,000 left in our original budget.

1803
01:11:22,100 --> 01:11:27,000
And from talking to the architect today,

1804
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,300
I don't know how much

1805
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:31,266
the additional change is going to be,

1806
01:11:31,266 --> 01:11:32,900
but they had to

1807
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:34,700
they have to add

1808
01:11:34,700 --> 01:11:36,834
horizontal numbers

1809
01:11:36,834 --> 01:11:38,667
to that wall to attach the panels

1810
01:11:38,667 --> 01:11:42,000
to because of their original plan and how they will attach.

1811
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,000
But is it going to work now that we found out

1812
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,533
it's not actually

1813
01:11:45,533 --> 01:11:48,700
the structural components of the building?

1814
01:11:48,700 --> 01:11:49,133
So again,

1815
01:11:49,133 --> 01:11:51,000
as soon as that information becomes available,

1816
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,500
I will share it. I'll

1817
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:54,934
and the exciting thing

1818
01:11:54,934 --> 01:11:57,033
that I wanted to share with everybody is this.

1819
01:11:57,333 --> 01:12:00,333
So I asked our drafting students

1820
01:12:00,333 --> 01:12:02,066
and they did a really awesome

1821
01:12:02,066 --> 01:12:03,867
job of this for

1822
01:12:03,867 --> 01:12:06,000
to come up with a concept drawing

1823
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,066
for what

1824
01:12:07,066 --> 01:12:08,834
a masonry expansion is going to look like.

1825
01:12:09,700 --> 01:12:12,133
So again, the colors aren't finalized.

1826
01:12:12,133 --> 01:12:14,834
the students had a little little creativeThis was

1827
01:12:14,834 --> 01:12:16,333
freedom to come up with.

1828
01:12:16,333 --> 01:12:18,233
we want a white building out thereI don't know that

1829
01:12:18,233 --> 01:12:20,300
because it probably won't look like that for very long.

1830
01:12:21,467 --> 01:12:23,533
But if you look it, it does kind of show

1831
01:12:23,533 --> 01:12:25,367
a rendering from the parking lot.

1832
01:12:25,367 --> 01:12:27,033
You can see where the existing doors

1833
01:12:27,033 --> 01:12:29,867
and windows are on the on the building.

1834
01:12:29,867 --> 01:12:33,767
The two views on the side, One of them is looking out into the kitchen

1835
01:12:33,767 --> 01:12:36,333
and you can see the garage door to one side of it.

1836
01:12:36,333 --> 01:12:38,734
if you were standing in the addition,And the other one would be

1837
01:12:38,734 --> 01:12:40,533
looking back towards the shop,

1838
01:12:40,533 --> 01:12:43,100
those two, two or three columnsyou can see that

1839
01:12:43,100 --> 01:12:44,900
that are there are going to have to stay

1840
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:47,667
because those are those are structural supports for the building.

1841
01:12:48,700 --> 01:12:50,767
So I am going to I'm going to give this

1842
01:12:50,767 --> 01:12:52,767
to the masonry instructors for them to display

1843
01:12:52,767 --> 01:12:54,166
during open house.

1844
01:12:54,166 --> 01:12:55,333
But I didn't want to share it

1845
01:12:55,333 --> 01:12:56,934
with you first to give you an idea,

1846
01:12:56,934 --> 01:12:59,100
this is what we're doing.kind of a concept,

1847
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:00,900
We do have sign

1848
01:13:00,900 --> 01:13:03,033
design and engineering documents for that

1849
01:13:03,333 --> 01:13:06,033
which are all still in progress.

1850
01:13:06,033 --> 01:13:07,367
We are looking at

1851
01:13:07,367 --> 01:13:09,500
hopefully sending bids out.

1852
01:13:09,500 --> 01:13:11,900
was the end of November 1stI believe the timeline

1853
01:13:11,900 --> 01:13:13,433
part of the summer

1854
01:13:13,433 --> 01:13:15,066
so that we can potentially start

1855
01:13:15,066 --> 01:13:18,467
working on that project after the first the

1856
01:13:19,567 --> 01:13:21,867
elementary kids to be able to be in

1857
01:13:21,867 --> 01:13:24,500
the space was being building. Yes.

1858
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:27,000
So we'll be able to build that

1859
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:28,667
that freestanding structure.

1860
01:13:28,667 --> 01:13:32,066
is on the wall between the two spaces,And then what we'll do afterwards

1861
01:13:32,066 --> 01:13:34,700
until summertime, depending on wherethe wall may not come down

1862
01:13:35,533 --> 01:13:38,066
and how that timing works out.

1863
01:13:38,066 --> 01:13:39,000
Yeah, yeah.

1864
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,266
Those doors are.

1865
01:13:40,266 --> 01:13:41,166
Yeah, exactly.

1866
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:42,834
There's all the overhead door is going to be there.

1867
01:13:42,834 --> 01:13:44,367
So they get the thing coming up

1868
01:13:44,367 --> 01:13:47,133
and I just wanted to share this is the project

1869
01:13:47,133 --> 01:13:48,500
that we're doing with the Record

1870
01:13:48,500 --> 01:13:50,266
Housing Authority.

1871
01:13:50,567 --> 01:13:52,433
I believe it's Mason Street Eagle.

1872
01:13:52,433 --> 01:13:55,066
Rick, I may have the address wrong,

1873
01:13:55,066 --> 01:13:57,133
but again, just just to update people.

1874
01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:59,300
These were from last week.

1875
01:13:59,300 --> 01:14:02,033
So you can see the first and second floor up.

1876
01:14:02,033 --> 01:14:03,567
The students are working on the roof

1877
01:14:03,567 --> 01:14:05,100
trusses here.

1878
01:14:05,100 --> 01:14:07,166
This is what the project looks like from the

1879
01:14:07,166 --> 01:14:10,066
from the street, from the front view.

1880
01:14:10,066 --> 01:14:11,667
Had some pictures of the students

1881
01:14:11,667 --> 01:14:14,133
working on the second floor deck

1882
01:14:14,900 --> 01:14:16,500
and they are framing

1883
01:14:16,500 --> 01:14:20,133
one of the outside walls.

1884
01:14:20,133 --> 01:14:22,033
And here some will work with the floor

1885
01:14:22,033 --> 01:14:24,000
that they're putting in place. Butjoist in the other things

1886
01:14:24,867 --> 01:14:27,634
again, it's a habitat build.

1887
01:14:27,634 --> 01:14:29,233
It's full record housing authority.

1888
01:14:29,233 --> 01:14:32,066
This is the habitat build something as well.

1889
01:14:32,066 --> 01:14:33,734
We actually have been a pride believe

1890
01:14:33,734 --> 01:14:35,634
Duxbury has one.

1891
01:14:35,634 --> 01:14:37,834
I don't know that they had finalized

1892
01:14:37,834 --> 01:14:39,767
all of their plans and permits and stuff.

1893
01:14:39,767 --> 01:14:42,767
and they're going to do it this week.I know they have reached out to us

1894
01:14:43,033 --> 01:14:44,233
Is it this week?

1895
01:14:44,233 --> 01:14:46,700
We're working has to balance deadlines and works and yeah,

1896
01:14:46,700 --> 01:14:48,867
and I did have a conversation with John Curran about

1897
01:14:49,066 --> 01:14:50,567
they have an RFP out.

1898
01:14:50,567 --> 01:14:52,634
I believe that

1899
01:14:52,634 --> 01:14:55,133
will end up being through Habitat.I think eventually

1900
01:14:55,133 --> 01:14:57,500
So we're hoping that we can line up

1901
01:14:57,500 --> 01:14:59,867
worth most projects for that activitya couple of years

1902
01:14:59,867 --> 01:15:01,367
and some kind of

1903
01:15:01,367 --> 01:15:04,367
so that we have a budget that we can,have them in the pipeline

1904
01:15:04,367 --> 01:15:06,867
they'll have time to get everything done,you know, and again,

1905
01:15:06,867 --> 01:15:08,867
and get all the site work doneget the foundations

1906
01:15:08,867 --> 01:15:11,467
and then be able to climb out there and

1907
01:15:11,467 --> 01:15:13,066
do what we need to do for

1908
01:15:14,133 --> 01:15:14,567
housing.

1909
01:15:14,567 --> 01:15:16,033
And that is that affordable

1910
01:15:16,033 --> 01:15:18,033
housing that, yes, going up there.

1911
01:15:18,033 --> 01:15:18,333
Yeah.

1912
01:15:18,567 --> 01:15:20,700
So that particular law and it's

1913
01:15:20,700 --> 01:15:23,567
kind of hard to see any of those pictures with that gray house behind

1914
01:15:23,567 --> 01:15:25,333
it is a two families

1915
01:15:25,333 --> 01:15:27,700
at the housing 40th bar and renovated

1916
01:15:28,133 --> 01:15:31,066
There was an old garage

1917
01:15:31,066 --> 01:15:33,734
on this property that they tore down.

1918
01:15:33,734 --> 01:15:34,867
So my understanding

1919
01:15:34,867 --> 01:15:36,367
is the way the lot was zoned to,

1920
01:15:36,367 --> 01:15:38,033
the way the lot was, was laid out,

1921
01:15:38,033 --> 01:15:40,066
they're able to split that lot

1922
01:15:40,066 --> 01:15:41,567
and create the space.

1923
01:15:41,567 --> 01:15:43,066
Oh, is that going to be a gym family, too?

1924
01:15:43,066 --> 01:15:45,900
It no, it's a single family because it's small.

1925
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,667
If you get

1926
01:15:47,667 --> 01:15:49,100
it doesn't look like it in the picture.

1927
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:51,233
But not it's not a it's not a really big house.

1928
01:15:51,233 --> 01:15:52,033
Yeah.

1929
01:15:52,033 --> 01:15:54,266
Yeah.

1930
01:15:54,266 --> 01:15:57,266
And the other thing too and again, I know Mr.

1931
01:15:57,266 --> 01:15:59,166
Fiore and I have talked about this a couple of times,

1932
01:15:59,166 --> 01:16:00,567
if there's specific things

1933
01:16:00,567 --> 01:16:03,000
that people want to see me add to this, you know, please

1934
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:04,734
let me know again.

1935
01:16:04,734 --> 01:16:06,133
I am trying to

1936
01:16:07,100 --> 01:16:08,033
find the key.

1937
01:16:08,033 --> 01:16:09,934
that I think people are interested inAnd on the things

1938
01:16:09,934 --> 01:16:12,567
and are are pertinent entirely to what we're trying to do.

1939
01:16:12,567 --> 01:16:14,667
But if anybody has any suggestions,

1940
01:16:14,867 --> 01:16:16,100
feel free to share them with me.

1941
01:16:16,100 --> 01:16:18,533
Should be an email on whatever it may be

1942
01:16:19,066 --> 01:16:21,166
and I will make sure that we include that

1943
01:16:21,166 --> 01:16:23,467
in any of the updates that we do this.

1944
01:16:23,467 --> 01:16:26,100
All right.

1945
01:16:26,100 --> 01:16:29,266
Now, I'm going to close out of this

1946
01:16:34,467 --> 01:16:37,734
and look,

1947
01:16:37,734 --> 01:16:50,533
I appreciate this.

1948
01:16:50,533 --> 01:16:53,000
So the other piece that I wanted to talk about and kind of wrap up

1949
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,066
with a little bit here is

1950
01:16:55,066 --> 01:16:56,900
Jenna had handed out

1951
01:16:56,900 --> 01:16:58,033
are actually I'm sorry I left them

1952
01:16:58,033 --> 01:17:00,066
at everybody's station.

1953
01:17:00,066 --> 01:17:02,133
Jenna and I sat down and kind of laid out

1954
01:17:02,133 --> 01:17:03,834
the things that we knew we needed

1955
01:17:03,834 --> 01:17:06,000
to start budget season

1956
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,133
and kind of some of the dates

1957
01:17:07,133 --> 01:17:09,533
and events that we anticipate

1958
01:17:09,734 --> 01:17:11,667
to wrap up budget season.

1959
01:17:11,667 --> 01:17:13,767
Now, I think both of us

1960
01:17:13,767 --> 01:17:15,333
would like to hear input from.

1961
01:17:15,333 --> 01:17:17,133
I know we have members of the Finance Committee

1962
01:17:17,133 --> 01:17:18,634
here at the Facilities Committee here.

1963
01:17:18,634 --> 01:17:20,066
of the Budget Committee here.We have members

1964
01:17:21,333 --> 01:17:22,066
One of the

1965
01:17:22,066 --> 01:17:23,767
things that's on here and again,

1966
01:17:23,767 --> 01:17:25,834
I would like feedback from all of you

1967
01:17:25,834 --> 01:17:27,834
that this is something different.because I know

1968
01:17:28,567 --> 01:17:31,133
We had talked about the idea of doing

1969
01:17:31,567 --> 01:17:33,867
the capital budget dinner in January

1970
01:17:34,100 --> 01:17:36,133
before the January school committee

1971
01:17:36,133 --> 01:17:37,467
instead of December,

1972
01:17:37,467 --> 01:17:40,133
but I know it's traditionally been done in December,

1973
01:17:40,133 --> 01:17:42,133
and if the committee wants to stay

1974
01:17:42,133 --> 01:17:43,533
in, if we want to stay true

1975
01:17:43,533 --> 01:17:47,000
to what we've done in the past, that's

1976
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:47,767
and we're

1977
01:17:47,767 --> 01:17:50,700
just trying to talk through some ideas and see

1978
01:17:50,700 --> 01:17:52,233
and get some feedback from all of you

1979
01:17:52,233 --> 01:17:54,233
so that we can finalize this

1980
01:17:54,233 --> 01:17:56,834
and get you all to finalize this.

1981
01:17:56,834 --> 01:17:58,634
And then again, share this out

1982
01:17:58,634 --> 01:18:00,066
after the next committee meeting

1983
01:18:00,066 --> 01:18:01,467
with the town managers as well.

1984
01:18:01,467 --> 01:18:04,500
what happens on the capital budget andSo refresh us on

1985
01:18:05,900 --> 01:18:07,934
so based on

1986
01:18:07,934 --> 01:18:11,333
my vast experience at the last one,

1987
01:18:11,333 --> 01:18:12,634
we come forward.

1988
01:18:12,634 --> 01:18:16,033
we have collected of the capital requestsBy that point in time,

1989
01:18:16,033 --> 01:18:19,233
from lead teachers department heads,

1990
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:23,000
and we've gone through themdirector levels,

1991
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,000
and really kind of,

1992
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,066
I guess, called them down,

1993
01:18:28,066 --> 01:18:31,000
whittled them down to what we think, what we think is appropriate

1994
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:34,667
for this coming year's budget.

1995
01:18:35,333 --> 01:18:36,500
One thing that Jen and

1996
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:38,133
I have talked about that

1997
01:18:38,133 --> 01:18:41,133
this year is we want to dowe plan on doing

1998
01:18:41,133 --> 01:18:43,834
the operating budget in the capital budget development

1999
01:18:43,834 --> 01:18:45,333
the same time

2000
01:18:45,333 --> 01:18:48,166
so that we have a really good handle as to what impact

2001
01:18:48,166 --> 01:18:50,000
those two numbers have on each other

2002
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,033
so that when we get to the end where

2003
01:18:52,033 --> 01:18:54,166
we're close to more at our target

2004
01:18:54,166 --> 01:18:57,000
what we think is a reasonable excuse.

2005
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,467
So again, part of this is based on that

2006
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,066
we were talking about the potential

2007
01:19:03,066 --> 01:19:05,000
to move it to January and have it

2008
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,700
the January's full committee meeting,before

2009
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:09,133
because by then we'll have this week

2010
01:19:09,266 --> 01:19:10,734
we and we hope

2011
01:19:10,734 --> 01:19:13,667
we intend to have the Chapter 17 numbers, which will

2012
01:19:13,667 --> 01:19:16,467
hopefully that'll be the final piece that we need to have

2013
01:19:16,467 --> 01:19:19,233
and know that we're on target.all this stuff come together

2014
01:19:19,433 --> 01:19:21,133
We want to be

2015
01:19:22,133 --> 01:19:24,367
that's that's a piece of it.So I mean, that

2016
01:19:24,500 --> 01:19:26,133
You know, we're going to start November

2017
01:19:26,133 --> 01:19:28,000
1st internally.

2018
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,100
People will start submitting stuff.

2019
01:19:30,100 --> 01:19:31,066
We're going to

2020
01:19:31,066 --> 01:19:33,500
we're going to have everything due back to us by December

2021
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:36,133
1st, by the middle of the month.

2022
01:19:36,333 --> 01:19:38,634
Our plan is to have a draft budget

2023
01:19:38,634 --> 01:19:41,433
and operating in a council draft budget

2024
01:19:41,433 --> 01:19:43,300
by December.

2025
01:19:43,300 --> 01:19:44,100
So again, if

2026
01:19:44,100 --> 01:19:45,900
if one or both of

2027
01:19:45,900 --> 01:19:47,533
those committees would like, you know,

2028
01:19:47,533 --> 01:19:50,300
we'd like to plan a meeting in December and we at that point

2029
01:19:50,300 --> 01:19:52,100
we can come back and show you where we are

2030
01:19:52,100 --> 01:19:54,767
as far as the draft process goes.

2031
01:19:54,767 --> 01:19:56,000
If you want to meet before

2032
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,033
then and have input into things that you think

2033
01:19:58,033 --> 01:20:01,100
should be a priority, I'm not quite sure.

2034
01:20:02,166 --> 01:20:03,433
I know

2035
01:20:03,433 --> 01:20:05,634
we'd like to have people be more involved

2036
01:20:05,634 --> 01:20:07,133
and have more say

2037
01:20:07,133 --> 01:20:10,000
that this is a more inclusive process.in the issue

2038
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,533
And what we did, I think it should be.

2039
01:20:11,533 --> 01:20:14,066
I mean, if you're trying to like

2040
01:20:14,066 --> 01:20:15,767
just look at the timeline, that's the pieces

2041
01:20:15,767 --> 01:20:18,533
that are being passed years.

2042
01:20:18,533 --> 01:20:21,033
But I mean, that's what honestly, we would show up

2043
01:20:21,033 --> 01:20:23,000
and based on the first time we saw the budget.

2044
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,934
So, I mean, if you're saying on to

2045
01:20:24,934 --> 01:20:27,367
it doesn't give you a whole lot of time.two based,

2046
01:20:27,367 --> 01:20:29,000
I think there should be some

2047
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,634
you know, to Brian's point about like,

2048
01:20:30,634 --> 01:20:33,100
the meeting there should meetyou know, having a capital,

2049
01:20:33,367 --> 01:20:34,767
at least two

2050
01:20:34,767 --> 01:20:37,033
or three meetings in between here.

2051
01:20:37,033 --> 01:20:39,166
And so we don't run into the same issue we had last year.

2052
01:20:39,166 --> 01:20:42,266
But when you guys had that meeting with the town managers,

2053
01:20:42,266 --> 01:20:45,033
because clearly in the past there was some discussion

2054
01:20:45,033 --> 01:20:48,100
about preliminary information, understanding their timelines.

2055
01:20:48,100 --> 01:20:50,066
So I think like this is like a,

2056
01:20:51,300 --> 01:20:52,266
you know,

2057
01:20:52,266 --> 01:20:53,700
a baseline one, but

2058
01:20:53,700 --> 01:20:56,233
I think there should be policy meetings, you know,

2059
01:20:56,233 --> 01:20:59,900
bring in the capital cities in there, and there should be like

2060
01:20:59,900 --> 01:21:01,834
at least a couple of meetings in between

2061
01:21:01,834 --> 01:21:03,133
to talk about draft stuff.

2062
01:21:03,133 --> 01:21:05,000
So, you know, we're not just

2063
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:06,767
showing up on 227

2064
01:21:06,767 --> 01:21:09,333
to rubber stamp budget basically the year.

2065
01:21:09,333 --> 01:21:12,233
well communicated, all that.So it's well vetted, it's

2066
01:21:12,233 --> 01:21:15,066
So then also, you know, if there is discussions

2067
01:21:15,066 --> 01:21:17,900
with the town managers, you know, basically

2068
01:21:17,900 --> 01:21:20,166
nobody is getting a call

2069
01:21:21,066 --> 01:21:22,900
from the town managers,

2070
01:21:22,900 --> 01:21:25,100
basically like there was last year.you know,

2071
01:21:25,100 --> 01:21:28,433
So if there is questions around that and if there is past years,

2072
01:21:28,433 --> 01:21:30,033
it's been communicated out.

2073
01:21:30,033 --> 01:21:31,433
We're talking about that before.

2074
01:21:31,433 --> 01:21:33,100
This is about that.

2075
01:21:33,100 --> 01:21:34,867
that's why we want to bring itAnd that's the and again,

2076
01:21:34,867 --> 01:21:36,333
to this group tonight and ask for that

2077
01:21:36,333 --> 01:21:38,033
that exact input to know.

2078
01:21:38,033 --> 01:21:40,233
was a good starting point.I think Brian's email

2079
01:21:40,233 --> 01:21:41,867
I think that's a good because the capital

2080
01:21:41,867 --> 01:21:44,634
one is a good place to start.

2081
01:21:44,634 --> 01:21:47,667
joint meeting and that can be the kick offI think that's a good place to have a

2082
01:21:47,667 --> 01:21:49,834
to basically to say where we going with

2083
01:21:49,834 --> 01:21:51,133
and like a bunch of planning meetings

2084
01:21:51,133 --> 01:21:53,100
whenever you think also it's

2085
01:21:53,100 --> 01:21:54,367
you're ready to present data.

2086
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:56,300
I don't know if it serves a purposeI just want

2087
01:21:56,300 --> 01:21:58,500
to have the committee subcommittees meeting

2088
01:21:58,500 --> 01:22:00,734
if you're not ready yet

2089
01:22:00,734 --> 01:22:03,500
why if it's not the next two weeks,but that's

2090
01:22:03,500 --> 01:22:05,133
maybe it's the week after,

2091
01:22:05,133 --> 01:22:08,000
probably sometime before the November school committee meeting.

2092
01:22:08,300 --> 01:22:10,567
I know we have we have the preliminary

2093
01:22:10,567 --> 01:22:12,700
FY 25 numbers

2094
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:15,367
that were in that five year plan for planning.

2095
01:22:15,634 --> 01:22:17,266
We can start there now.

2096
01:22:17,266 --> 01:22:19,467
I know we've already been talking to directors

2097
01:22:20,033 --> 01:22:22,266
to get that information updated.and, you know,

2098
01:22:22,266 --> 01:22:24,900
And what we've found already is some of that stuff was

2099
01:22:25,066 --> 01:22:26,567
has already been taken care of. And was.

2100
01:22:26,567 --> 01:22:28,266
But is it for this year?

2101
01:22:28,266 --> 01:22:29,867
You know, and we were able to

2102
01:22:29,867 --> 01:22:31,934
we've already started to go through the list and kind of find out

2103
01:22:33,033 --> 01:22:34,000
what we want to do.

2104
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:37,133
I think you may not have a real kindSo, I mean,

2105
01:22:37,133 --> 01:22:39,033
of finalized draft,

2106
01:22:39,033 --> 01:22:40,467
but we will have some information.

2107
01:22:40,467 --> 01:22:42,233
So, I mean, if that's if that makes sense

2108
01:22:42,233 --> 01:22:45,000
I think know, the next couple of weeks,and it's the kick off,

2109
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,066
you can get those two committees together and say,

2110
01:22:47,066 --> 01:22:48,000
you know, here's our starting point.

2111
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,867
This is what we have.

2112
01:22:49,867 --> 01:22:51,100
And, you know, from

2113
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:53,367
do you think we should prioritize?your perspective of these things,

2114
01:22:53,367 --> 01:22:55,934
Are these things that you think are more important than others?

2115
01:22:55,934 --> 01:22:57,734
for us to hear that early onI think it's important

2116
01:22:57,734 --> 01:22:59,867
so that as we're meeting with those people

2117
01:22:59,867 --> 01:23:02,066
and talking through what they request, we can say,

2118
01:23:02,500 --> 01:23:04,033
yeah, you know, this is

2119
01:23:04,033 --> 01:23:06,734
this is something we can do not we have to hold off on this.

2120
01:23:06,734 --> 01:23:08,767
This announcement for is a year or two,

2121
01:23:08,767 --> 01:23:10,266
depending on what it is.

2122
01:23:10,266 --> 01:23:12,033
That's kind of a message you want to send

2123
01:23:12,033 --> 01:23:14,066
if you're basically going to meet with these people.

2124
01:23:14,066 --> 01:23:15,533
Basically, you know, you're

2125
01:23:15,533 --> 01:23:17,166
trying to get a new school built.

2126
01:23:17,166 --> 01:23:19,133
I can tell you Burlington work

2127
01:23:19,133 --> 01:23:21,667
is that's going to be a big thing in the next five, ten years

2128
01:23:21,667 --> 01:23:24,100
or so far behind some of the schools. Yes.

2129
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:25,333
So you got to partner these people.

2130
01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:28,767
So you want to have a good communication, good relationship with them.

2131
01:23:28,767 --> 01:23:30,233
I feel the more openness you're going

2132
01:23:30,233 --> 01:23:32,133
to have, you're going to build that.

2133
01:23:32,133 --> 01:23:35,333
if it's Duxbury, Burlington,So it doesn't matter

2134
01:23:35,333 --> 01:23:37,033
you want to have that ongoing

2135
01:23:37,033 --> 01:23:39,000
transparency package.

2136
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,467
So I think that's just,

2137
01:23:40,467 --> 01:23:42,900
you know, the town manager and finance committee

2138
01:23:42,900 --> 01:23:45,033
members. You

2139
01:23:46,266 --> 01:23:47,100
know, I think that's

2140
01:23:47,100 --> 01:23:48,934
that's a very valid point.

2141
01:23:48,934 --> 01:23:50,700
How many of the towns

2142
01:23:50,700 --> 01:23:52,867
have new town managers?

2143
01:23:52,867 --> 01:23:55,100
But there's one to Wilmington,

2144
01:23:55,100 --> 01:23:56,767
I don't think Wilmington named one.

2145
01:23:56,767 --> 01:23:59,266
There's no we have we have an excellent.

2146
01:24:00,066 --> 01:24:02,300
Tell me you're still doing the

2147
01:24:02,300 --> 01:24:03,900
collecting

2148
01:24:03,900 --> 01:24:07,333
when they're going to have the new one.

2149
01:24:07,333 --> 01:24:08,433
What does that look like?

2150
01:24:08,433 --> 01:24:10,367
Which is Bedford has it's new.

2151
01:24:10,367 --> 01:24:12,100
So it's got to go to a new town

2152
01:24:12,100 --> 01:24:14,233
manager and answer any superintendent.

2153
01:24:14,834 --> 01:24:17,433
I didn't ask that because I know like

2154
01:24:17,433 --> 01:24:19,300
we were the new ones last year

2155
01:24:19,300 --> 01:24:20,433
and that was some of our struggles.

2156
01:24:20,433 --> 01:24:22,700
So, you know, it could be good

2157
01:24:22,700 --> 01:24:25,467
them not have those same strugglesneighbors and and help

2158
01:24:25,467 --> 01:24:28,100
you know, sharing our information.by being,

2159
01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:29,533
I think I said to you earlier, you know,

2160
01:24:30,700 --> 01:24:31,533
as soon as we

2161
01:24:31,533 --> 01:24:34,033
have numbers to share, I think we should share, you know, as soon as it's

2162
01:24:34,033 --> 01:24:36,100
reasonable to share the press

2163
01:24:36,100 --> 01:24:38,500
and operating work together.surge for capital

2164
01:24:38,700 --> 01:24:41,066
And I'm not a budget person, but those two things

2165
01:24:41,066 --> 01:24:42,767
sound like they make sense to go together.

2166
01:24:42,767 --> 01:24:45,166
I think it's fine to have them together and they work together.

2167
01:24:45,166 --> 01:24:47,667
We sometimes delayed when we reported

2168
01:24:47,667 --> 01:24:49,433
a big capital expenditure,

2169
01:24:49,433 --> 01:24:51,166
and I think that was to our detriment.

2170
01:24:51,166 --> 01:24:52,867
It sounds like that won't happen again

2171
01:24:52,867 --> 01:24:54,533
just because it didn't happen last year.

2172
01:24:54,533 --> 01:24:56,033
We don't want it to happen again.

2173
01:24:56,033 --> 01:24:57,734
of putting it together,But I like the idea

2174
01:24:57,734 --> 01:25:00,433
you know, 100% finalized,even if it's not,

2175
01:25:00,433 --> 01:25:03,000
you should be able to say, this is where we stand.

2176
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,100
There is this big expenditure in

2177
01:25:05,634 --> 01:25:06,867
whatever, you know,

2178
01:25:06,867 --> 01:25:08,233
so that we can work against the town.

2179
01:25:09,333 --> 01:25:11,867
And I

2180
01:25:11,867 --> 01:25:13,834
you're meeting with the

2181
01:25:13,834 --> 01:25:16,300
town managers within the next weeks,

2182
01:25:16,300 --> 01:25:17,133
right up to Thanksgiving.

2183
01:25:17,133 --> 01:25:19,000
And that sounds so it's sad

2184
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:20,700
because then you'll know their timeline.

2185
01:25:20,700 --> 01:25:23,066
Definitely so you'll know it's at 123

2186
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:25,767
right now a

2187
01:25:25,767 --> 01:25:29,634
And like the General advisory Committee

2188
01:25:29,634 --> 01:25:33,166
and they've always had that dinner so.

2189
01:25:33,166 --> 01:25:36,233
Well I mean are they going to be alerted if they do the dinner?

2190
01:25:36,233 --> 01:25:37,233
We could do that.

2191
01:25:37,233 --> 01:25:38,900
So the suggestion was to do the dinner

2192
01:25:38,900 --> 01:25:41,033
instead of a dinner or something.in January

2193
01:25:41,033 --> 01:25:42,734
Yeah, they would. They would. Absolutely.

2194
01:25:42,734 --> 01:25:45,033
And that was a change

2195
01:25:45,033 --> 01:25:45,834
because they also have

2196
01:25:45,834 --> 01:25:48,734
a lot of input into it.

2197
01:25:48,934 --> 01:25:50,900
And again, if if, if, if,

2198
01:25:50,900 --> 01:25:52,066
if it makes more sense

2199
01:25:52,066 --> 01:25:53,834
we can make it work for them.to everybody,

2200
01:25:53,834 --> 01:25:55,533
To some of you know, we were just you know,

2201
01:25:55,533 --> 01:25:58,433
we're child anatomy differently to things.we're really again

2202
01:25:58,567 --> 01:26:00,100
That's just

2203
01:26:00,900 --> 01:26:03,333
plain science

2204
01:26:03,333 --> 01:26:05,333
I think let's try to do this

2205
01:26:05,333 --> 01:26:06,834
If you're comfortable with this

2206
01:26:06,834 --> 01:26:08,333
with this time timeline.

2207
01:26:08,333 --> 01:26:12,066
Yeah yeah that was last year was weird.

2208
01:26:12,100 --> 01:26:15,567
It's not like we're always going to it in December to get it right.

2209
01:26:15,567 --> 01:26:17,533
If we just take our time

2210
01:26:17,533 --> 01:26:19,000
and we share with everybody

2211
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:21,667
out of top managers

2212
01:26:21,667 --> 01:26:22,767
in the January,

2213
01:26:22,767 --> 01:26:24,867
I think we could have the dinner

2214
01:26:25,033 --> 01:26:26,367
and everybody knows what's going on.

2215
01:26:26,367 --> 01:26:28,166
But that time we know

2216
01:26:28,166 --> 01:26:31,133
internally our internal planning, you know,

2217
01:26:31,133 --> 01:26:32,567
you'll have an idea how much capital

2218
01:26:32,567 --> 01:26:34,367
we'll get to go for.

2219
01:26:34,367 --> 01:26:37,033
Hopefully Chapter 70 is out there

2220
01:26:38,333 --> 01:26:40,033
and we have an operating budget.

2221
01:26:40,033 --> 01:26:41,300
So what's the rush?

2222
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:43,000
I mean, so I went,

2223
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,000
I went and looked at the years

2224
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,500
before last year again.

2225
01:26:46,500 --> 01:26:49,100
new governor insurance got delayed.I mean, we all know, you know,

2226
01:26:49,266 --> 01:26:53,033
So it's always the same day that that chapter

2227
01:26:53,033 --> 01:26:55,500
70 number gets released at the end.

2228
01:26:55,500 --> 01:26:57,333
It's so I want to know

2229
01:26:57,333 --> 01:26:59,500
what day it fell on for the last

2230
01:26:59,700 --> 01:27:01,300
the previous eight years.

2231
01:27:01,300 --> 01:27:03,533
And that's where I came up with that one to date.

2232
01:27:03,533 --> 01:27:05,700
Now, I may be off a day or two. I know.

2233
01:27:05,700 --> 01:27:07,533
Or maybe it gets delayed being released by.

2234
01:27:07,533 --> 01:27:09,033
But that is

2235
01:27:09,033 --> 01:27:10,667
that's the most accurate

2236
01:27:10,667 --> 01:27:12,567
prediction that I can make based

2237
01:27:12,567 --> 01:27:14,367
what what I saw is a pattern

2238
01:27:14,367 --> 01:27:16,166
in the past year

2239
01:27:16,166 --> 01:27:20,900
when we had the same governor in office, and that's when they were released.

2240
01:27:20,900 --> 01:27:22,867
So I think to Brian's point, it's

2241
01:27:22,867 --> 01:27:24,634
not just to have meetings and meetings.

2242
01:27:24,634 --> 01:27:26,000
I think there's a skeleton.

2243
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,700
I think it's to get away from previous years,

2244
01:27:28,900 --> 01:27:32,033
but I think it's to be more prepared so.not if there was anything,

2245
01:27:32,033 --> 01:27:34,000
I think this was a good scalp,

2246
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,734
a good baseline.

2247
01:27:35,734 --> 01:27:37,033
But I think it's, you know, to

2248
01:27:37,033 --> 01:27:38,667
Brian's point about like, you know,

2249
01:27:38,667 --> 01:27:40,567
is to meet more frequently.having a meeting

2250
01:27:40,567 --> 01:27:42,000
But meeting with there is purpose.

2251
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,533
So it's basically well

2252
01:27:43,533 --> 01:27:45,867
what Janet and I want to hear from.and I think I think that's

2253
01:27:45,867 --> 01:27:47,367
You know, again, I agree.

2254
01:27:47,367 --> 01:27:49,700
I don't think we should have to just have a meeting but

2255
01:27:49,700 --> 01:27:52,634
also from the capital and from the budget

2256
01:27:52,634 --> 01:27:54,734
subcommittee standpoint,

2257
01:27:54,734 --> 01:27:57,300
what information do you need and when do you need it?

2258
01:27:57,300 --> 01:28:00,300
Because that also is going to guide our process

2259
01:28:00,300 --> 01:28:03,300
so that we make sure have that stuff ready, you know?

2260
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:06,233
So again, the November meeting, if we want to get together,

2261
01:28:06,233 --> 01:28:09,266
have kind of a preliminary conversation about this is what we see for Capitol.

2262
01:28:09,266 --> 01:28:11,533
these are the requests we currently haveThese are

2263
01:28:11,533 --> 01:28:13,066
that make sense.

2264
01:28:13,066 --> 01:28:15,133
You know, if you want know, we want to

2265
01:28:15,133 --> 01:28:17,433
if we want to have the meeting in December.

2266
01:28:17,433 --> 01:28:19,934
And, you know, again, around the time

2267
01:28:19,934 --> 01:28:22,700
the draft is prepared to say, okay, here, you know, here's

2268
01:28:22,700 --> 01:28:25,133
what we have at this point in time based on the feedback,

2269
01:28:25,567 --> 01:28:27,500
the information we got on council, I mean,

2270
01:28:27,500 --> 01:28:29,367
I think those things make sense.

2271
01:28:29,367 --> 01:28:31,834
But I know both of us also want to hear,

2272
01:28:32,066 --> 01:28:34,767
what makes sense from your standpoint.you know,

2273
01:28:34,767 --> 01:28:35,467
So because

2274
01:28:37,033 --> 01:28:39,066
we need that input as well,

2275
01:28:39,066 --> 01:28:41,667
especially to feed your meetings in between

2276
01:28:41,667 --> 01:28:43,734
the ones that I

2277
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:45,300
just thought

2278
01:28:45,300 --> 01:28:47,100
about looking at like, you know,

2279
01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:50,834
that was doing this prior to youbecause we had the same person

2280
01:28:50,834 --> 01:28:52,867
and we never thought about likefor 20 years

2281
01:28:53,100 --> 01:28:55,567
looking at what other schools do,

2282
01:28:55,567 --> 01:28:57,767
like maybe long term to basically say,

2283
01:28:57,767 --> 01:28:59,900
what is your budget model like going out

2284
01:28:59,900 --> 01:29:03,066
and surveying like some of your peers?

2285
01:29:03,333 --> 01:29:05,634
The superintendent, business manager saying

2286
01:29:05,634 --> 01:29:07,533
this is what other schools do

2287
01:29:07,533 --> 01:29:10,000
and coming up with the best practice as maybe

2288
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,700
and maybe that wouldn't be for this year

2289
01:29:11,700 --> 01:29:14,567
but maybe looking at for future years to say,

2290
01:29:14,567 --> 01:29:17,233
okay we looked at 12 different

2291
01:29:17,233 --> 01:29:20,033
vocational schools or a number I don't know that

2292
01:29:20,033 --> 01:29:22,333
12 that like maybe half a dozen and say

2293
01:29:22,467 --> 01:29:24,867
this is their budget process and we're reviewing

2294
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,033
coming up with the best practice.

2295
01:29:27,033 --> 01:29:28,700
Maybe something is for a future

2296
01:29:28,700 --> 01:29:31,667
years, maybe as a project project.

2297
01:29:32,033 --> 01:29:33,266
This is the final kind of

2298
01:29:34,734 --> 01:29:35,133
piece.

2299
01:29:35,133 --> 01:29:38,100
At least I didn't ask you, but we have we started asking what people think.

2300
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:40,133
But it's like coming up

2301
01:29:40,133 --> 01:29:41,567
and saying, what's the best practice

2302
01:29:41,567 --> 01:29:43,467
of what other schools are doing and basis

2303
01:29:43,467 --> 01:29:45,634
stripping it down and saying, okay,

2304
01:29:45,634 --> 01:29:47,900
not saying we haven't done anything wrong for the last 20 years.

2305
01:29:47,900 --> 01:29:50,033
I'm saying maybe now it's time

2306
01:29:50,033 --> 01:29:52,000
to change the superintendent business standard.

2307
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:53,767
Now is the time to come back and look

2308
01:29:53,767 --> 01:29:56,266
and see what other schools are doing and come back

2309
01:29:56,634 --> 01:29:58,166
maybe for next year

2310
01:29:58,166 --> 01:30:00,000
to run as the chair based to say

2311
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,433
what's best practices going forward

2312
01:30:01,433 --> 01:30:03,066
and just living it for one year,

2313
01:30:03,066 --> 01:30:05,467
going in front of the towns and the finance committees.

2314
01:30:05,467 --> 01:30:07,100
Now I can anticipate

2315
01:30:07,100 --> 01:30:09,033
better what they're looking for.

2316
01:30:09,033 --> 01:30:10,634
So I want to go in with

2317
01:30:10,634 --> 01:30:13,867
way more information than I did last.

2318
01:30:13,867 --> 01:30:15,533
They always like to have that year

2319
01:30:15,533 --> 01:30:18,000
to year comparison, so I'll make sure

2320
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,100
all those things are very clear this year by some categories.

2321
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:22,900
And I have a Tony,

2322
01:30:22,900 --> 01:30:24,934
I think share that 100 page budget

2323
01:30:24,934 --> 01:30:27,066
books from a sister school.

2324
01:30:27,066 --> 01:30:28,066
Yeah, yeah.

2325
01:30:28,066 --> 01:30:30,066
And he's like, I like this like,

2326
01:30:30,066 --> 01:30:32,133
I like the first 20 pages.

2327
01:30:32,133 --> 01:30:35,433
I don't know about hundred and 40, but the first 20 looks good to me.

2328
01:30:35,433 --> 01:30:37,634
Find somewhat something in between.

2329
01:30:37,734 --> 01:30:41,133
So we've already thought of ways to make it better this year.

2330
01:30:41,133 --> 01:30:43,233
I think this is not much different.

2331
01:30:43,233 --> 01:30:46,100
I mean, I worked in three other schools and we've used multiple.

2332
01:30:46,100 --> 01:30:48,500
we went through two or three iterationsSo, you know, again,

2333
01:30:48,500 --> 01:30:51,133
when I worked at Greater Lawrence.of how we did budgets differently

2334
01:30:51,266 --> 01:30:54,834
I mean, this is is very much in line with what everybody else does.

2335
01:30:55,700 --> 01:30:56,700
Yeah, I'm not saying it's going

2336
01:30:56,700 --> 01:30:58,233
be drastic change, but I'm just saying

2337
01:30:58,233 --> 01:31:00,066
when you change over base

2338
01:31:00,066 --> 01:31:02,567
de defacto CEO and CFO

2339
01:31:02,567 --> 01:31:04,066
yeah it's like a meeting time.

2340
01:31:04,066 --> 01:31:06,100
It just we've looked at some stuff

2341
01:31:06,100 --> 01:31:08,033
and some different formats from different schools.

2342
01:31:08,033 --> 01:31:09,700
I mean we've, we've been doing that

2343
01:31:09,700 --> 01:31:13,133
which ones make sense and how is thisand kind of talking through

2344
01:31:13,133 --> 01:31:16,066
to try to organize things this way.and does it make sense

2345
01:31:16,066 --> 01:31:18,867
I think it's I think, you know,And I mean, it's

2346
01:31:18,867 --> 01:31:22,367
I don't know that we're going to have the perfect solution to.

2347
01:31:22,367 --> 01:31:25,033
But I'm all in favor this time, I think.

2348
01:31:25,333 --> 01:31:27,266
And I'm more than happy

2349
01:31:27,266 --> 01:31:29,767
to have a meeting on budgets.

2350
01:31:29,767 --> 01:31:31,734
But there's something that I know I don't want to have a meeting.

2351
01:31:31,734 --> 01:31:33,533
Have a meeting. I don't. You mean Tory?

2352
01:31:33,533 --> 01:31:36,066
And can't you want to have the same thing with.

2353
01:31:36,166 --> 01:31:38,066
Yeah, the Budget Committee.

2354
01:31:38,066 --> 01:31:39,300
I want to go through the whole thing.

2355
01:31:39,300 --> 01:31:42,000
So we're confident that we got to we have gone over this.

2356
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:42,500
We are happy.

2357
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:44,667
What's going on capitals Brian.

2358
01:31:44,900 --> 01:31:46,300
I mean everybody.

2359
01:31:46,300 --> 01:31:48,100
Yes, we're all in this together.

2360
01:31:48,100 --> 01:31:49,867
I know, I know. You just want me.

2361
01:31:49,867 --> 01:31:51,867
You have no kids. You are just too.

2362
01:31:51,867 --> 01:31:53,567
Well, yeah, we looked at it for 30 minutes

2363
01:31:53,567 --> 01:31:55,233
and doe everybody knows that.

2364
01:31:55,233 --> 01:31:57,533
in front of going to open the town.But it's sort of the time

2365
01:31:58,133 --> 01:31:59,567
You're ready to defend everything?

2366
01:31:59,567 --> 01:32:00,166
Yes, I know.

2367
01:32:00,166 --> 01:32:02,333
I know. I know that. And then.

2368
01:32:02,333 --> 01:32:04,233
And I've learned so much through this process.

2369
01:32:04,233 --> 01:32:06,433
Yes. Sometimes I want to know, you know,

2370
01:32:06,700 --> 01:32:09,033
we're buying and stuff like that.how many pencils

2371
01:32:09,133 --> 01:32:11,066
But hypothetically, anyway,

2372
01:32:11,066 --> 01:32:12,834
so yeah, let's give it.

2373
01:32:12,834 --> 01:32:15,033
That's like my first year on the first time.

2374
01:32:15,033 --> 01:32:18,033
Like you show up in February and I get like, you know, for

2375
01:32:18,033 --> 01:32:20,233
I get this huge thing, you know, howthe first meeting,

2376
01:32:20,233 --> 01:32:22,266
I supposed to give you?

2377
01:32:22,266 --> 01:32:24,066
Like, it's like, you know, kind of like,

2378
01:32:24,066 --> 01:32:25,934
like tombstones.

2379
01:32:25,934 --> 01:32:28,467
I did have one other question that I wanted to pose here.

2380
01:32:28,467 --> 01:32:30,367
if people wanted to think about this,And again,

2381
01:32:30,367 --> 01:32:32,500
we don't I don't think that the story finalizes the.

2382
01:32:32,500 --> 01:32:34,667
But so on this proposed timeline,

2383
01:32:34,667 --> 01:32:36,166
we had the 27th

2384
01:32:36,166 --> 01:32:38,100
as the public hearing for the budget,

2385
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:39,934
which is the schedule school committee

2386
01:32:39,934 --> 01:32:41,700
meeting for February.

2387
01:32:41,700 --> 01:32:43,734
My question would be,

2388
01:32:43,734 --> 01:32:45,667
do we want to have a separate

2389
01:32:45,667 --> 01:32:48,867
public hearings like two weeks before

2390
01:32:48,867 --> 01:32:50,834
that just to approve the budget

2391
01:32:50,834 --> 01:32:52,367
and get it out earlier?

2392
01:32:52,367 --> 01:32:53,567
I don't know

2393
01:32:53,567 --> 01:32:55,433
if that's a priority for people or not,

2394
01:32:55,433 --> 01:32:57,133
but that's just another suggestion

2395
01:32:57,133 --> 01:33:00,567
to put out there based on last year's it.

2396
01:33:00,567 --> 01:33:02,734
I mean, I think it's going to be a pretty quick meeting.

2397
01:33:02,934 --> 01:33:05,834
Doesn't seem to be a long, drawn out process

2398
01:33:06,066 --> 01:33:08,066
for the public hearing.

2399
01:33:08,066 --> 01:33:09,467
But again, that would also,

2400
01:33:09,467 --> 01:33:14,066
but I think that would help us.I think, to be not direct,

2401
01:33:14,066 --> 01:33:15,634
That information is now

2402
01:33:15,634 --> 01:33:18,100
we've conducted the hearings, It's public.

2403
01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,133
Our assessments have been certified by the committee.

2404
01:33:20,133 --> 01:33:21,834
Everybody's voted on.

2405
01:33:21,834 --> 01:33:24,934
And then, you know, after that date that that information can then

2406
01:33:24,934 --> 01:33:27,634
be disseminated to all our town managers as here

2407
01:33:27,634 --> 01:33:31,033
is our finalized budget by 25.

2408
01:33:31,033 --> 01:33:33,000
I know that that constitutes

2409
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:34,500
an extra night for people, but

2410
01:33:35,433 --> 01:33:38,100
I don't think that's the worst idea.

2411
01:33:38,100 --> 01:33:40,100
I think that's something to be entertained for.

2412
01:33:40,100 --> 01:33:42,000
We talked a week or so,

2413
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,734
maybe a report back on the field.

2414
01:33:45,033 --> 01:33:47,233
Okay, I could just say,

2415
01:33:48,133 --> 01:33:49,667
yes, that's okay.

2416
01:33:49,667 --> 01:33:53,000
Our town, you think

2417
01:33:53,133 --> 01:33:54,033
is caring.

2418
01:33:54,033 --> 01:33:56,433
You could let us know as the Budget

2419
01:33:56,433 --> 01:33:58,166
Subcommittee schedules meetings,

2420
01:33:58,166 --> 01:33:59,934
a lot of the rest of us know when they are.

2421
01:33:59,934 --> 01:34:01,700
I know we can speak at them,

2422
01:34:01,700 --> 01:34:04,533
but it would be nice to be able to listen.

2423
01:34:04,533 --> 01:34:07,266
dinner will be the same night.And the capital budget

2424
01:34:07,266 --> 01:34:09,133
Is this genuine?

2425
01:34:09,133 --> 01:34:10,467
Yes, that was that was our plan.

2426
01:34:10,467 --> 01:34:12,100
Yeah. Yeah.

2427
01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:14,300
You may not wish that Charlie showed up

2428
01:34:14,300 --> 01:34:16,533
people was going to be 30 minutes to ourfor the audit

2429
01:34:18,133 --> 01:34:20,300
but that's on that that

2430
01:34:21,133 --> 01:34:23,467
that's why I brought it back up

2431
01:34:24,133 --> 01:34:26,133
last night.

2432
01:34:26,133 --> 01:34:27,166
I'm sorry.

2433
01:34:28,100 --> 01:34:29,867
All right, so on the 27th,

2434
01:34:29,867 --> 01:34:31,834
are you changing this or.

2435
01:34:31,834 --> 01:34:32,567
No, I just.

2436
01:34:32,567 --> 01:34:34,000
I just asked for input on it,

2437
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:36,133
and I was just thinking

2438
01:34:36,133 --> 01:34:39,033
earlier, the thing is, I have a

2439
01:34:39,033 --> 01:34:42,066
I think the public hearing really should be

2440
01:34:43,834 --> 01:34:44,834
well, should be before

2441
01:34:44,834 --> 01:34:46,367
we approve the budget.

2442
01:34:46,367 --> 01:34:47,266
And I don't know

2443
01:34:47,266 --> 01:34:49,066
if I like it be in the exact same meeting.

2444
01:34:49,066 --> 01:34:50,734
I know we've always done it that way,

2445
01:34:50,734 --> 01:34:53,166
but I, I really don't like that.

2446
01:34:53,166 --> 01:34:56,000
they give us their inputI mean, because I mean,

2447
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,000
and someone actually came and gave us their input.

2448
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,133
Not that we've ever had people do that,

2449
01:35:00,133 --> 01:35:02,333
but people actually came and give us input

2450
01:35:02,533 --> 01:35:04,033
and then we voted to,

2451
01:35:04,033 --> 01:35:05,433
you know, like 5 minutes later.

2452
01:35:05,433 --> 01:35:07,333
It doesn't make sense.

2453
01:35:07,333 --> 01:35:09,300
I mean, it's such a

2454
01:35:09,300 --> 01:35:11,233
just for whatever it's worth.in our community

2455
01:35:11,233 --> 01:35:13,834
So it is intense pointing to practice.

2456
01:35:13,834 --> 01:35:15,767
I think in our community.

2457
01:35:15,767 --> 01:35:17,433
The budget hearing normally

2458
01:35:17,433 --> 01:35:20,066
is a separately scheduled night

2459
01:35:20,066 --> 01:35:22,266
with no other agenda items.

2460
01:35:22,266 --> 01:35:23,934
The Senate separate appointment, but that's

2461
01:35:23,934 --> 01:35:25,433
because there's a norm or two school committee

2462
01:35:25,433 --> 01:35:27,066
meetings a month estimate.

2463
01:35:27,066 --> 01:35:28,734
But for us to do it that month

2464
01:35:28,734 --> 01:35:30,100
seemed to be reasonable.

2465
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:31,467
Yeah.

2466
01:35:31,467 --> 01:35:33,867
we can have the public hearing on the 13thSo I mean,

2467
01:35:33,867 --> 01:35:35,634
and then come back to the regular.

2468
01:35:35,634 --> 01:35:37,834
I know that's a weird month because we have the vacation week in there.

2469
01:35:38,100 --> 01:35:39,333
I think normally the school committee

2470
01:35:39,333 --> 01:35:42,033
meeting would have been earlier, but, but

2471
01:35:42,033 --> 01:35:44,266
we can always come back on the 27th and like the budget

2472
01:35:44,734 --> 01:35:47,000
and I think that's a good point.

2473
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,066
Has a public hearing without a vote

2474
01:35:50,033 --> 01:35:51,767
and then we get reviewing

2475
01:35:51,767 --> 01:35:53,367
the thing I agree it Ryan

2476
01:35:53,367 --> 01:35:55,433
I mean it's you're you're basically

2477
01:35:55,433 --> 01:35:57,467
if you do put them in the same meeting

2478
01:35:57,467 --> 01:35:59,834
from all the other businessbasically detracts away

2479
01:35:59,834 --> 01:36:02,500
so you're reviewing the budgetsyou're trying to do

2480
01:36:02,500 --> 01:36:05,000
and then you're also having people come in and ask questions.

2481
01:36:05,166 --> 01:36:07,066
That's a huge line item in itself.

2482
01:36:07,066 --> 01:36:09,467
So that basically it's the whole whole

2483
01:36:10,834 --> 01:36:12,433
meeting that should be 2 hours

2484
01:36:12,433 --> 01:36:14,333
and consume hour and a half of access

2485
01:36:14,333 --> 01:36:16,700
to do it yet 60 minutes.

2486
01:36:16,700 --> 01:36:19,934
But I think it's a patty bread substance

2487
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:22,533
used. Okay.

2488
01:36:22,533 --> 01:36:24,433
Well We will add that to the timeline

2489
01:36:24,433 --> 01:36:26,233
and let's give it a shot.

2490
01:36:26,233 --> 01:36:28,033
I know it changes. Good.

2491
01:36:28,033 --> 01:36:29,433
Right. Well, thank you.

2492
01:36:29,433 --> 01:36:31,700
Any other questions, folks,

2493
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:33,900
or. It's a number of budgets,

2494
01:36:33,900 --> 01:36:36,066
but just on the MSP stuff,

2495
01:36:36,700 --> 01:36:38,634
I have not heard anything back.any I have,

2496
01:36:38,634 --> 01:36:39,166
Yeah.

2497
01:36:39,333 --> 01:36:41,433
So we we had a decision.

2498
01:36:41,433 --> 01:36:43,500
They discussed that at the meeting

2499
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:47,533
but the password is for an MSP.

2500
01:36:47,533 --> 01:36:49,700
I mean going under the pretense

2501
01:36:49,700 --> 01:36:52,100
that we're going to get rejected

2502
01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:53,100
like are we going to put up money

2503
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:55,367
for like a higher consultant,

2504
01:36:55,667 --> 01:36:57,667
like a facility study or.

2505
01:36:57,667 --> 01:36:58,834
Yeah, yeah.

2506
01:36:58,834 --> 01:37:01,533
I think that's a good conversation Now. ItI mean I think,

2507
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,500
we, we can we can build that

2508
01:37:06,333 --> 01:37:07,000
again

2509
01:37:07,367 --> 01:37:08,567
to hear priorities

2510
01:37:08,567 --> 01:37:10,533
as to what people think is appropriate.

2511
01:37:10,533 --> 01:37:12,567
I think to do that know

2512
01:37:12,567 --> 01:37:14,634
as we go through the processdefinitely help us

2513
01:37:14,634 --> 01:37:16,900
guide us for 2.1

2514
01:37:16,900 --> 01:37:18,533
and then that committee we had from last year

2515
01:37:18,533 --> 01:37:20,767
the equity. Okay.

2516
01:37:21,033 --> 01:37:22,266
Any updates on that

2517
01:37:22,266 --> 01:37:24,667
or we haven't yet this year, I'm sure.

2518
01:37:24,667 --> 01:37:26,233
I mean, I can take the tally. We can.

2519
01:37:26,233 --> 01:37:29,033
I know we met the mentally,

2520
01:37:29,033 --> 01:37:30,100
but I, I again,

2521
01:37:30,100 --> 01:37:31,734
I did some research as some stuff

2522
01:37:31,734 --> 01:37:33,133
to bring that one over.

2523
01:37:33,133 --> 01:37:34,467
Whenever you're ready we can

2524
01:37:34,467 --> 01:37:36,734
we can touch base again. Okay

2525
01:37:37,900 --> 01:37:40,000
we also interested

2526
01:37:41,133 --> 01:37:42,133
not move on

2527
01:37:42,133 --> 01:37:44,734
which is the subcommittee reports.to the next thing

2528
01:37:45,133 --> 01:37:47,100
with the policy subcommittee.I'll start out

2529
01:37:47,100 --> 01:37:49,100
I know Christine couldn't make that

2530
01:37:49,100 --> 01:37:51,300
she make the earlier meeting

2531
01:37:51,300 --> 01:37:52,166
and she volunteered

2532
01:37:52,166 --> 01:37:53,834
Karen to give us the report.

2533
01:37:55,233 --> 01:37:57,500
So we are churning forward,

2534
01:37:57,500 --> 01:38:00,533
as you may or may not remember,

2535
01:38:00,533 --> 01:38:03,433
our liaison is retiring.

2536
01:38:03,767 --> 01:38:05,100
So we've been having a meeting

2537
01:38:05,100 --> 01:38:07,133
with two people from a massive

2538
01:38:07,133 --> 01:38:08,667
which has worked well.

2539
01:38:08,834 --> 01:38:10,767
We have one policy

2540
01:38:10,767 --> 01:38:13,033
that needs a little bit of tweaking,

2541
01:38:13,033 --> 01:38:14,700
so we're working on that for next time.

2542
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:16,000
We have three that we're going

2543
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,867
to present at the next meeting

2544
01:38:17,867 --> 01:38:19,834
and we have two more to go.

2545
01:38:19,834 --> 01:38:22,133
They are the two biggest, so it won't be a two

2546
01:38:22,133 --> 01:38:24,000
meeting event in five years,

2547
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:25,500
three or four or even a five meeting event

2548
01:38:25,500 --> 01:38:27,700
to get those two, those last two

2549
01:38:27,700 --> 01:38:29,533
and but we are still on track

2550
01:38:29,533 --> 01:38:32,066
and our goal is to be done in December

2551
01:38:32,066 --> 01:38:36,100
or January.

2552
01:38:36,100 --> 01:38:38,100
I want to thank all you ladies that are on that,

2553
01:38:38,100 --> 01:38:39,867
because it certainly

2554
01:38:39,867 --> 01:38:41,934
is something to endeavor

2555
01:38:41,934 --> 01:38:43,367
and a lot of time

2556
01:38:43,367 --> 01:38:45,467
and staff has been a great help. Her

2557
01:38:46,700 --> 01:38:48,333
new person whose name I apologize,

2558
01:38:48,333 --> 01:38:50,066
Felicia Alicia has been doing,

2559
01:38:50,066 --> 01:38:53,000
has stepped into big shoes and is doing a good job.

2560
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:54,634
But we miss Dorothy,

2561
01:38:54,634 --> 01:38:57,033
so we want to get as much done

2562
01:38:57,033 --> 01:38:59,734
under Dorothy's guidance as we can.

2563
01:38:59,734 --> 01:39:00,533
Thank you.

2564
01:39:00,533 --> 01:39:02,634
Thank you for the next of the Audit

2565
01:39:02,634 --> 01:39:05,734
which again, Christinesubcommittee report,

2566
01:39:05,734 --> 01:39:07,734
volunteered to have on this one

2567
01:39:07,734 --> 01:39:09,934
at 2:00 this afternoon.

2568
01:39:09,934 --> 01:39:15,233
about helping us out again.She feeling good

2569
01:39:15,233 --> 01:39:17,233
So I guess, you know,

2570
01:39:17,233 --> 01:39:19,066
kind of our prior

2571
01:39:19,066 --> 01:39:21,467
auditor notified us late this year

2572
01:39:21,467 --> 01:39:24,634
that basically we were there dropping the business line.

2573
01:39:24,634 --> 01:39:26,233
So I kind of like

2574
01:39:26,233 --> 01:39:27,667
you guys in a tough situation

2575
01:39:27,667 --> 01:39:29,100
the end of the year.

2576
01:39:30,066 --> 01:39:32,133
So I've been busy.

2577
01:39:32,133 --> 01:39:35,066
So just so people understand, it's not under audit,

2578
01:39:35,066 --> 01:39:38,133
things are not covered under 30 Bif you're getting a CPA,

2579
01:39:38,467 --> 01:39:40,100
so technically you didn't really have

2580
01:39:40,100 --> 01:39:42,166
to put in a bid in that manner.

2581
01:39:42,166 --> 01:39:44,567
So audit firms are exempt from that.

2582
01:39:45,700 --> 01:39:48,066
So we did

2583
01:39:48,233 --> 01:39:50,533
put out a process to do that

2584
01:39:50,934 --> 01:39:53,700
like a 30 B, but after discussing it,

2585
01:39:53,700 --> 01:39:56,066
it really should have gone through

2586
01:39:56,066 --> 01:39:57,266
because if you read the RFP,

2587
01:39:57,266 --> 01:39:59,100
it actually says

2588
01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:01,233
that the hiring of the CPA firm

2589
01:40:01,233 --> 01:40:03,333
that does the audits is basically approved

2590
01:40:03,333 --> 01:40:05,000
by the school committee.

2591
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:07,000
So for future times,

2592
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:09,500
if we go through this process again, the audit committee

2593
01:40:09,500 --> 01:40:11,233
will actually go through and again,

2594
01:40:11,233 --> 01:40:13,667
that may end up having more members long.

2595
01:40:13,667 --> 01:40:16,066
Patty can join the audit committee

2596
01:40:18,734 --> 01:40:20,433
as well.

2597
01:40:20,433 --> 01:40:22,834
So we would basically go before that process

2598
01:40:23,133 --> 01:40:24,934
to review

2599
01:40:24,934 --> 01:40:28,066
our fees and we kind of learn from that.

2600
01:40:28,066 --> 01:40:30,834
So basically we met, you know,

2601
01:40:30,834 --> 01:40:33,000
we had the two firms that had responded.

2602
01:40:34,100 --> 01:40:34,900
Hopefully

2603
01:40:34,900 --> 01:40:37,333
if we go through this one as contracts,

2604
01:40:37,333 --> 01:40:40,500
because it's a three year contract,if we decide to meet

2605
01:40:40,500 --> 01:40:44,100
you really you should be doing a RFP every three years.

2606
01:40:44,100 --> 01:40:45,433
We'll know that for next time.

2607
01:40:45,433 --> 01:40:47,834
Hopefully we'll get more bids,

2608
01:40:48,634 --> 01:40:50,467
have a more thorough process next time.

2609
01:40:50,467 --> 01:40:55,433
But we did get to firms that did apply.

2610
01:40:55,433 --> 01:40:58,133
You know, they narrowed it down to guys, narrowed down to one.

2611
01:40:58,433 --> 01:41:00,834
There was some discussion about

2612
01:41:00,834 --> 01:41:03,467
if the other one should be reviewed, which we did meet

2613
01:41:03,467 --> 01:41:05,133
with the audit subcommittee

2614
01:41:05,133 --> 01:41:08,133
and we considered them all else equal.

2615
01:41:08,133 --> 01:41:11,300
There was some concerns around because you've, of all things

2616
01:41:11,300 --> 01:41:13,500
considered equal, you can't really bring

2617
01:41:13,500 --> 01:41:14,734
well actually came with this

2618
01:41:14,734 --> 01:41:17,033
because the jury's out for 30 Bbecause it's cost

2619
01:41:17,166 --> 01:41:18,734
but that was kind of a deciding

2620
01:41:18,734 --> 01:41:21,333
factor was the one that was kind of we didn't open

2621
01:41:21,333 --> 01:41:24,333
because the price actually was higher.

2622
01:41:24,333 --> 01:41:26,567
around the inspector generalThere was some discussion

2623
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:28,634
and weighed in.

2624
01:41:28,634 --> 01:41:29,634
Howard weighed in.

2625
01:41:29,634 --> 01:41:33,066
The three choices were basically to accept the proposal

2626
01:41:33,066 --> 01:41:35,533
that was reviewed, basically

2627
01:41:36,033 --> 01:41:37,166
look it to it

2628
01:41:37,166 --> 01:41:40,433
and that's kind of what we didalready assessed,

2629
01:41:40,433 --> 01:41:42,900
when your started the whole process.or you basically thrown out

2630
01:41:43,133 --> 01:41:45,266
But we did kind of review the two.

2631
01:41:45,266 --> 01:41:47,066
We looked at really good,

2632
01:41:47,066 --> 01:41:48,433
all things being equal,

2633
01:41:48,433 --> 01:41:50,166
the third one and the second one

2634
01:41:50,166 --> 01:41:52,834
the one that we did go with thatwas more expensive,

2635
01:41:52,834 --> 01:41:56,100
and we ended up deciding to go with thewe didn't decide to go

2636
01:41:57,166 --> 01:42:00,300
firm that was recommended by

2637
01:42:00,300 --> 01:42:02,300
the superintendent of business vendor.

2638
01:42:02,300 --> 01:42:05,533
But I think the lyrics for next time is that audit

2639
01:42:05,533 --> 01:42:09,100
firms are not under 30 B

2640
01:42:09,100 --> 01:42:10,734
and I mean to,

2641
01:42:10,734 --> 01:42:14,433
you know these guys defense the firm I mean probably knew

2642
01:42:14,433 --> 01:42:16,834
that they were dropping the business linesix months ago

2643
01:42:16,834 --> 01:42:18,533
so that probably should have been communicated out

2644
01:42:18,533 --> 01:42:20,433
in like January,

2645
01:42:20,433 --> 01:42:23,333
not in June when you're finishing up the business cycle.

2646
01:42:23,333 --> 01:42:26,033
But hopefully when this comes up again, you know,

2647
01:42:26,033 --> 01:42:30,066
we'll do a more thorough

2648
01:42:30,066 --> 01:42:31,033
bid process.

2649
01:42:31,033 --> 01:42:33,300
And, you know,

2650
01:42:33,300 --> 01:42:36,000
but it seems like the two firms you got are pretty well known.

2651
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,667
They you know, they've bought

2652
01:42:37,667 --> 01:42:39,066
a lot of schools locally, have a nice

2653
01:42:39,066 --> 01:42:40,867
big party or experience.

2654
01:42:40,867 --> 01:42:43,033
So but I mean, you know,

2655
01:42:43,033 --> 01:42:45,233
so I think when we do this,

2656
01:42:45,233 --> 01:42:47,867
we should be looking at every three yearsyou know, it should be something

2657
01:42:47,867 --> 01:42:50,133
and we do a thorough review.when the contracts are up

2658
01:42:50,133 --> 01:42:52,433
that would be like your guys experienceAnd part of

2659
01:42:53,033 --> 01:42:54,033
now with a new firm.

2660
01:42:54,033 --> 01:42:55,734
So, you know, it's saying

2661
01:42:55,734 --> 01:42:57,934
but I think that's something,after 20 years, you know,

2662
01:42:58,233 --> 01:43:00,767
there should be a rotation of auditors.you know,

2663
01:43:00,767 --> 01:43:03,033
You should review of contracts every time something comes up.

2664
01:43:03,033 --> 01:43:07,100
So I think the committee recommended that we go ahead with the business

2665
01:43:07,100 --> 01:43:10,033
managers and superintendents recommendation of Markham

2666
01:43:14,166 --> 01:43:15,066
before

2667
01:43:16,667 --> 01:43:19,433
I will be that

2668
01:43:20,133 --> 01:43:21,500
as I was told,

2669
01:43:21,500 --> 01:43:23,033
as I was notified at 2 p.m.,

2670
01:43:23,033 --> 01:43:24,700
this happening, obviously,

2671
01:43:24,700 --> 01:43:26,900
yes, we make the requisite audit

2672
01:43:26,900 --> 01:43:30,033
subcommittee is making the recommendation to move the motion forward,

2673
01:43:30,033 --> 01:43:32,533
to approve the recommendation

2674
01:43:32,533 --> 01:43:34,066
of the business end or importance,

2675
01:43:34,066 --> 01:43:37,567
which was the firm name Markham LLC

2676
01:43:38,934 --> 01:43:42,066
Management's 3:00 and

2677
01:43:42,066 --> 01:43:44,333
you, you know, emotionally,

2678
01:43:44,333 --> 01:43:46,266
I mean, it just made that motion.

2679
01:43:46,266 --> 01:43:48,467
bring in the subcommittee,I thought it was just

2680
01:43:48,467 --> 01:43:51,000
you making the motion as well, which is fine.

2681
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:51,533
All right then.

2682
01:43:51,533 --> 01:43:55,467
I guess I'll let Patty to make the motion.

2683
01:43:55,467 --> 01:43:58,133
that we hire Markham as our audit service,Motion

2684
01:44:00,066 --> 01:44:02,834
a further discussion on that.so I can have

2685
01:44:02,834 --> 01:44:04,433
But not all of them favor.

2686
01:44:04,433 --> 01:44:07,567
I told you

2687
01:44:08,567 --> 01:44:09,066
that.

2688
01:44:09,066 --> 01:44:10,834
I think you're going to be very pleased with them.

2689
01:44:10,834 --> 01:44:12,900
going to be easy to make your life easy.That's

2690
01:44:12,900 --> 01:44:15,133
I don't think my life is everything, butI mean,

2691
01:44:18,367 --> 01:44:21,433
just getting my life was very easy for me,

2692
01:44:21,433 --> 01:44:23,533
having to learn to talk to them. So.

2693
01:44:23,533 --> 01:44:24,367
Yep, yep.

2694
01:44:24,367 --> 01:44:26,000
Very thorough.

2695
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,100
I'm ready to move on.

2696
01:44:28,100 --> 01:44:28,734
Gladly.

2697
01:44:28,734 --> 01:44:30,033
Glad most your finance people

2698
01:44:30,033 --> 01:44:31,367
are from Burlington.

2699
01:44:31,667 --> 01:44:35,533
Yeah, I know, but

2700
01:44:37,834 --> 01:44:40,367
I was that excited.

2701
01:44:40,367 --> 01:44:43,000
Was future agenda item was unemployed

2702
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,033
specific right.

2703
01:44:44,033 --> 01:44:46,467
I was going to suggest to maybe for

2704
01:44:46,467 --> 01:44:47,867
like staff updates, which

2705
01:44:47,867 --> 01:44:49,567
I think we've all found very helpful,

2706
01:44:49,567 --> 01:44:51,867
that maybe the co-op program

2707
01:44:52,133 --> 01:44:54,000
would be helpful for us

2708
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,634
to hear at a future meeting.

2709
01:44:56,634 --> 01:44:57,500
I know what a couple

2710
01:44:57,500 --> 01:44:59,834
of the community outreach events return.

2711
01:44:59,834 --> 01:45:03,100
that some businesses, small and larger,It's been great

2712
01:45:03,100 --> 01:45:05,467
have actually come up to the tables

2713
01:45:05,467 --> 01:45:08,333
and said, Oh, I would be interested in knowing what I have to do

2714
01:45:08,333 --> 01:45:11,233
to have one or more students, and I really don't.

2715
01:45:11,233 --> 01:45:13,033
And then on the other hand,

2716
01:45:13,033 --> 01:45:14,834
Oh yeah, that'd be great.sometimes you go,

2717
01:45:14,834 --> 01:45:17,433
But then there are obviously standards the school has,

2718
01:45:17,433 --> 01:45:19,100
there are scheduling needs,

2719
01:45:19,100 --> 01:45:20,300
so it might be helpful to hear.

2720
01:45:21,166 --> 01:45:23,000
And also what

2721
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:25,000
are being particularly to also tableefforts

2722
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,300
what efforts are being made to expand the pool

2723
01:45:27,700 --> 01:45:29,367
to maybe new businesses

2724
01:45:29,367 --> 01:45:32,000
or some of the new technologies that are in the area.

2725
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,266
So some future meeting

2726
01:45:34,266 --> 01:45:36,834
when the co-op director is available

2727
01:45:36,834 --> 01:45:38,266
to be doing work on that.

2728
01:45:38,266 --> 01:45:39,100
We Mr.

2729
01:45:39,100 --> 01:45:41,533
Chairman, do we talk about just being invited

2730
01:45:41,533 --> 01:45:43,033
next month?

2731
01:45:43,033 --> 01:45:44,467
I think she talked about

2732
01:45:44,467 --> 01:45:45,834
we will, but I think

2733
01:45:45,834 --> 01:45:48,033
because of that other other issues

2734
01:45:48,033 --> 01:45:50,734
only in the handbook stuff.

2735
01:45:50,734 --> 01:45:52,333
Yeah, handover issues

2736
01:45:52,333 --> 01:45:54,934
and all that is part of what a lot of

2737
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:56,567
I think she will probably be.

2738
01:45:56,567 --> 01:45:59,000
about that through to CherylI like to have a discussion

2739
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,834
and thank you for that anyway

2740
01:46:02,667 --> 01:46:05,634
so I need to have the nutrition

2741
01:46:05,734 --> 01:46:07,066
person in and talk to

2742
01:46:08,300 --> 01:46:11,367
the nutrition group that we have

2743
01:46:11,367 --> 01:46:12,066
because that was

2744
01:46:12,066 --> 01:46:14,133
the last couple of years.that was a new hire

2745
01:46:14,133 --> 01:46:16,066
Her second year in this position.

2746
01:46:16,066 --> 01:46:18,066
But she's been here for over 20 years

2747
01:46:18,066 --> 01:46:20,233
some great things down there.and she's doing

2748
01:46:20,233 --> 01:46:22,533
So if you want her to teach me that,

2749
01:46:22,533 --> 01:46:25,000
maybe they need to

2750
01:46:25,100 --> 01:46:27,367
apply athletic director, you could say,

2751
01:46:27,367 --> 01:46:31,133
Oh, that would be nice to just leave it on.

2752
01:46:31,066 --> 01:46:33,166
Not necessarily the next year,

2753
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:34,700
right?

2754
01:46:34,700 --> 01:46:36,300
Last year it was

2755
01:46:36,500 --> 01:46:38,834
not for now

2756
01:46:38,834 --> 01:46:40,433
maybe a 2023 or like, Oh,

2757
01:46:40,433 --> 01:46:43,033
that's what we said that

2758
01:46:43,033 --> 01:46:43,867
I started in.

2759
01:46:43,867 --> 01:46:45,767
Charlie, I can't make it to you.

2760
01:46:45,767 --> 01:46:47,000
It's great to have people come in.

2761
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,000
And so I think there's couple every month, right?

2762
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:51,433
tonight about Kevin was great.Yeah, that's what I saw

2763
01:46:51,433 --> 01:46:52,000
Danica.

2764
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,066
I mean, a cool thing

2765
01:46:54,066 --> 01:46:55,867
that may not be so hard for coaches

2766
01:46:55,867 --> 01:46:57,533
because it's not right, but

2767
01:46:57,533 --> 01:46:58,900
it sort of the middle of the season,

2768
01:46:58,900 --> 01:47:01,066
it's not right before playoffs

2769
01:47:01,066 --> 01:47:03,066
is really one of the committee was busy

2770
01:47:03,367 --> 01:47:06,066
and one of them could manage a schedule.

2771
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:08,166
Anyway thank you, Cheryl.

2772
01:47:08,166 --> 01:47:10,033
Just, you know, Tamika's announcement

2773
01:47:10,033 --> 01:47:11,700
was pretty amazing tonight.

2774
01:47:11,700 --> 01:47:13,667
Is there anything that we can do as a school committee

2775
01:47:13,667 --> 01:47:16,734
or recognize her, give her some sort ofto kind of commend her

2776
01:47:17,700 --> 01:47:18,533
when it was done?

2777
01:47:18,533 --> 01:47:20,500
Don't know, some sort of strategic

2778
01:47:20,934 --> 01:47:21,867
letter?

2779
01:47:22,066 --> 01:47:25,233
Yeah, that was pretty short.

2780
01:47:25,233 --> 01:47:26,100
Okay.

2781
01:47:26,100 --> 01:47:27,700
I just to say,

2782
01:47:27,700 --> 01:47:29,900
is there anything on your mind that you want to tell?

2783
01:47:29,900 --> 01:47:31,767
What are you you know, you're

2784
01:47:31,767 --> 01:47:33,000
a part of this.

2785
01:47:33,100 --> 01:47:34,567
We should be talking

2786
01:47:34,567 --> 01:47:37,033
and you going to school here

2787
01:47:37,033 --> 01:47:38,300
and anything on your mind

2788
01:47:38,300 --> 01:47:41,166
that has come up and things that it shows.

2789
01:47:41,166 --> 01:47:42,700
So please let us know.

2790
01:47:42,700 --> 01:47:45,433
I mean, I believe I agree with Bryan and bring Nicole up again.

2791
01:47:45,433 --> 01:47:47,033
I believe that with you bringing Mr.

2792
01:47:47,033 --> 01:47:49,066
I think that's really important.Smith in here to talk,

2793
01:47:49,266 --> 01:47:50,934
I think that's a big part of the school

2794
01:47:50,934 --> 01:47:53,266
and I think we should have a say in

2795
01:47:53,266 --> 01:47:54,433
what he's doing

2796
01:47:54,433 --> 01:47:56,533
because he's the only in that position.

2797
01:47:56,533 --> 01:48:00,767
So I think he really needs more input.

2798
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,100
Okay. Thank you.

2799
01:48:03,100 --> 01:48:04,300
This is just too far

2800
01:48:04,300 --> 01:48:07,033
down the line, but I'd love to hear a little bit more about skills.

2801
01:48:08,233 --> 01:48:11,433
So what skills you say advisor

2802
01:48:12,834 --> 01:48:15,000
to Cole or any of the winners on the spot

2803
01:48:15,133 --> 01:48:17,133
to come see their kids better?

2804
01:48:17,133 --> 01:48:19,166
They always go and. I don't.

2805
01:48:19,166 --> 01:48:21,166
I don't think we can pull it off in the November meetings.

2806
01:48:21,166 --> 01:48:21,634
I don't know.

2807
01:48:21,634 --> 01:48:24,333
I mean, I think that's the November

2808
01:48:24,333 --> 01:48:26,934
for the Fall State Leadership Conference.

2809
01:48:26,934 --> 01:48:28,266
And those are typically students

2810
01:48:28,266 --> 01:48:31,100
that are going to be in a leadership role or be an officer.

2811
01:48:31,100 --> 01:48:33,033
So the summer meeting,

2812
01:48:33,033 --> 01:48:34,700
we can have those kids come in and talk

2813
01:48:34,700 --> 01:48:36,266
about their experiences

2814
01:48:36,266 --> 01:48:38,066
with their advisor

2815
01:48:38,066 --> 01:48:39,467
and Thursday night, I know Mr.

2816
01:48:39,467 --> 01:48:41,467
everything that's happened,Markowitz will highlight

2817
01:48:41,467 --> 01:48:43,000
none of the accomplishments.

2818
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:45,867
I think it's very well,

2819
01:48:46,166 --> 01:48:48,467
I asked you a question last time,

2820
01:48:48,467 --> 01:48:51,300
last meeting about

2821
01:48:51,300 --> 01:48:53,000
us having to attend student

2822
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,367
council meetings or whatever sometimes.

2823
01:48:55,367 --> 01:48:56,433
Did you have to get an answer?

2824
01:48:56,433 --> 01:48:58,900
and he told me he was going to research itI asked Howard

2825
01:48:59,100 --> 01:49:01,367
and I never got a response back from that.

2826
01:49:01,367 --> 01:49:03,634
So, I mean, the school committee is supposed to be at school.

2827
01:49:03,634 --> 01:49:05,667
You did tell me that that was a new one.

2828
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:09,100
he said he was going to look into it.But he

2829
01:49:09,100 --> 01:49:10,300
I will I will follow up with him.

2830
01:49:10,300 --> 01:49:13,934
he hasn't gotten that coming in yet.But no,

2831
01:49:13,934 --> 01:49:16,333
you get that notice last month?We're supposed to Didn't

2832
01:49:16,333 --> 01:49:18,100
And I mean, you see

2833
01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:20,100
the student representatives, right?

2834
01:49:20,100 --> 01:49:21,734
And then it said

2835
01:49:21,734 --> 01:49:23,367
is supposed to attend somethe school committee

2836
01:49:23,367 --> 01:49:26,033
and not the school council or whatever.those meet the student members

2837
01:49:26,033 --> 01:49:27,767
No, no, that's a council, whatever

2838
01:49:27,767 --> 01:49:30,133
that is. Yes.

2839
01:49:30,634 --> 01:49:33,033
You're going to be to have it.

2840
01:49:33,033 --> 01:49:35,033
And whenever you meet

2841
01:49:35,033 --> 01:49:37,066
the superintendent's cabinet.

2842
01:49:37,066 --> 01:49:40,133
No, it's a student camp set during

2843
01:49:40,133 --> 01:49:42,000
or after school day

2844
01:49:43,066 --> 01:49:44,233
sort of plan,

2845
01:49:44,233 --> 01:49:46,367
because I had never heard of it.which is the group that also

2846
01:49:46,367 --> 01:49:49,100
that's it's the group that selectedWe have never it's the group

2847
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:51,834
Sarah to know whatever group she's in.

2848
01:49:51,834 --> 01:49:53,500
Yes. So I know you said that

2849
01:49:53,500 --> 01:49:55,634
legally I'm supposed to okay, away.

2850
01:49:56,133 --> 01:49:56,900
Whatever

2851
01:49:57,834 --> 01:49:58,533
they get,

2852
01:49:58,533 --> 01:50:01,066
they can tell us what they really think.

2853
01:50:01,066 --> 01:50:04,066
It'll be their meeting, but that's about it.

2854
01:50:04,066 --> 01:50:05,834
Please let us know.

2855
01:50:05,834 --> 01:50:07,300
You're the voice

2856
01:50:07,667 --> 01:50:10,667
on the room here.

2857
01:50:10,667 --> 01:50:13,100
We're putting all seven.

2858
01:50:13,100 --> 01:50:13,433
What?

2859
01:50:13,433 --> 01:50:15,133
What's going on? The cleaning thing.

2860
01:50:15,133 --> 01:50:17,734
Mr. Chairman, we don't go under

2861
01:50:18,233 --> 01:50:20,700
and that's not the point here, Mr.

2862
01:50:20,700 --> 01:50:21,634
Chairman.

2863
01:50:21,634 --> 01:50:23,934
I think emotionally enter

2864
01:50:23,934 --> 01:50:26,000
into executive session to discuss

2865
01:50:26,133 --> 01:50:28,233
nonunion contracts and collective

2866
01:50:29,266 --> 01:50:32,100
second.

2867
01:50:32,100 --> 01:50:32,567
Thank you.

2868
01:50:32,567 --> 01:50:33,000
Thank you.

2869
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:36,133
Thank you.

2870
01:50:36,467 --> 01:50:37,367
Thank you.

2871

Thanks, Sarah.

2872
01:50:38,300 --> 01:50:41,934
We already tried to agenda item.

2873
01:50:41,934 --> 01:50:44,066
You're not trying to vote on that.

2874
01:50:44,066 --> 01:50:46,000
Maybe potentially

2875
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,100
potentially a vote on the contract.

2876
01:50:48,100 --> 01:50:51,000
There's no vote listed on your agenda.

2877
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:51,734
There's No way.

2878
01:50:51,734 --> 01:50:55,033
There isn't a verbal assault on the agenda

2879
01:50:56,233 --> 01:50:57,533
of the day.

2880
01:50:57,834 --> 01:50:58,867
It wasn't

2881
01:50:59,033 --> 01:51:00,233
the only vote on the agenda

2882
01:51:00,233 --> 01:51:02,467
firm threatening to do it.was the audit services

2883
01:51:02,467 --> 01:51:04,333
it says nonunion contracts and collectiveYeah,

2884
01:51:04,333 --> 01:51:07,233
bargaining doesn't seem to be my mistake.

2885
01:51:07,233 --> 01:51:08,433
I think they hit on that one.

2886
01:51:09,433 --> 01:51:10,767
I really

2887
01:51:10,767 --> 01:51:12,934
that area of administration is not on the agenda.

2888
01:51:12,934 --> 01:51:15,033
We can't focus a lot on that.

2889
01:51:15,133 --> 01:51:18,133
So we'll just pause and discuss this later.

2890
01:51:18,133 --> 01:51:20,100
Executive session to discuss

2891
01:51:20,100 --> 01:51:23,000

work.

2896
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,066
