1 00:00:11,156 --> 00:00:12,976 hello everyone. I will 2 00:00:12,976 --> 00:00:15,054 start the meeting. Today is the 3 00:00:15,054 --> 00:00:16,424 Sherborn Board of Education meeting 4 00:00:16,424 --> 00:00:19,307 . It 5 00:00:19,307 --> 00:00:21,104 seems to be Tuesday, September 22nd, and I am having a meeting at the Dover-Sherborn Middle School 6 00:00:21,104 --> 00:00:22,752 library 7 00:00:22,752 --> 00:00:24,994 . The time 8 00:00:24,994 --> 00:00:27,348 is 5:30. The first agenda item 9 00:00:27,348 --> 00:00:31,198 is listening to the opinions of local residents. 10 00:00:31,243 --> 00:00:33,701 It seems no one is online. Does 11 00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:37,344 anyone have any opinions? does 12 00:00:37,344 --> 00:00:39,056 n't exist. Is there 13 00:00:39,056 --> 00:00:40,233 anyone here who would like to share their opinion 14 00:00:40,233 --> 00:00:41,770 ? doesn't exist. 15 00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:44,197 great. Then, let's move straight to the Superintendent's 16 00:00:44,197 --> 00:00:47,200 remarks. 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,070 hello everyone. I will keep it brief as I explained it in 18 00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:53,248 more detail at last week's joint meeting 19 00:00:53,295 --> 00:00:54,938 . 20 00:00:54,938 --> 00:00:58,444 In particular, I would like to thank the residents of Sherborn and the 21 00:00:58,491 --> 00:01:00,127 Pine Hill community for their efforts in ensuring a smooth start to the school year 22 00:01:00,127 --> 00:01:01,887 . Thank you to everyone, including students, teachers, 23 00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:03,516 administrators, parents, and bus 24 00:01:03,516 --> 00:01:05,236 drivers 25 00:01:05,236 --> 00:01:06,818 . Everything is going well now 26 00:01:06,818 --> 00:01:08,267 . 27 00:01:08,267 --> 00:01:09,597 We have already held several all-student meetings, and Ms. 28 00:01:09,597 --> 00:01:10,822 Heather also 29 00:01:10,822 --> 00:01:12,182 had the opportunity to attend the first one. 30 00:01:12,182 --> 00:01:15,190 I was very impressed. 31 00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:16,519 And 32 00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:17,960 there is an open class for parents on Thursday evening at 6 PM 33 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,655 . I look forward to meeting the Pine Hill parents in person 34 00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:22,398 . If you 35 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:23,933 have any other questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at any time 36 00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:26,204 . 37 00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,239 Do you have any questions for Superintendent McCoy? It seems like there isn't one. 38 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,442 Ah, wait a minute. Did you 39 00:01:30,474 --> 00:01:31,632 mean you wished Kate would come back? 40 00:01:31,632 --> 00:01:33,598 Ah, yes. I briefly forgot. My 41 00:01:33,598 --> 00:01:35,374 last name just changed. I 42 00:01:35,374 --> 00:01:36,820 agree as well. The all-student meeting is a 43 00:01:36,820 --> 00:01:37,808 really good time. 44 00:01:37,808 --> 00:01:39,876 Hello, Kate. We've held a 45 00:01:39,901 --> 00:01:40,886 school-wide meeting every Friday for the past five years 46 00:01:40,886 --> 00:01:42,221 . I really like the all-student meeting. 47 00:01:42,221 --> 00:01:43,258 It's a really good time. 48 00:01:43,258 --> 00:01:44,320 Yes, it is a good opportunity to foster a sense of community 49 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:45,856 . Okay, I will 50 00:01:45,856 --> 00:01:47,346 continue. I will 51 00:01:47,346 --> 00:01:48,847 move on to the financial report. Mr. 52 00:01:48,847 --> 00:01:50,071 Shore, 53 00:01:50,071 --> 00:01:51,850 would you like to pass the microphone? all right. 54 00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:52,655 sorry. 55 00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:53,451 I didn't understand it well 56 00:01:53,451 --> 00:01:54,880 . It seems like you have quite a few more cases 57 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,034 . 58 00:01:56,034 --> 00:01:57,724 Well, the 59 00:01:57,724 --> 00:01:59,371 items in today's report are those sent to City Hall since the last meeting 60 00:01:59,371 --> 00:02:00,931 , so it 61 00:02:00,931 --> 00:02:02,466 seems there are quite a lot of them. 62 00:02:02,466 --> 00:02:06,108 And I am telling you about all the materials you sent by Friday 63 00:02:06,155 --> 00:02:08,029 . It seems like September 11th was the last 64 00:02:08,029 --> 00:02:09,846 data. To 65 00:02:09,846 --> 00:02:13,050 reiterate, this document is a 66 00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:16,676 summary of all materials processed by our office and sent to the city. These are materials to be processed in the general fund 67 00:02:16,676 --> 00:02:18,541 and other special income funds 68 00:02:18,541 --> 00:02:21,815 . Mr. Bill 69 00:02:21,815 --> 00:02:26,358 prepares the slides, and we are 70 00:02:27,961 --> 00:02:30,039 very grateful that he comes every two weeks to create them on behalf of our committee. 71 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:32,237 Today's data 72 00:02:32,237 --> 00:02:34,325 also includes the final settlement data for the 2026 fiscal year 73 00:02:34,325 --> 00:02:40,121 . 74 00:02:40,121 --> 00:02:42,021 You have likely seen various small figures, but this 75 00:02:42,021 --> 00:02:45,527 fiscal year was a year where we had to keep monitoring because the budget was tight between May and June 76 00:02:47,426 --> 00:02:54,371 . We have been talking a lot 77 00:02:54,371 --> 00:02:56,009 about changes to the regional budget throughout this year 78 00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:58,643 . This 79 00:02:58,643 --> 00:03:00,331 report summarizes the overall situation 80 00:03:00,331 --> 00:03:02,768 . For more 81 00:03:02,768 --> 00:03:04,464 details, please refer to other monthly reports 82 00:03:04,464 --> 00:03:06,259 . Basically, the 83 00:03:06,259 --> 00:03:08,187 salary budget was adjusted 84 00:03:08,187 --> 00:03:10,217 to within $9,000 of the originally set amount 85 00:03:10,217 --> 00:03:13,930 . Of course, there are instances where the budget and 86 00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:17,737 actual expenditures diverge, but 87 00:03:17,786 --> 00:03:21,395 because unexpected variables can arise, we always 88 00:03:21,444 --> 00:03:23,125 try to operate with a total payroll budget secured 89 00:03:23,125 --> 00:03:29,724 . 90 00:03:29,724 --> 00:03:33,453 There was a cost-saving effect in the special education teacher budget, 91 00:03:35,464 --> 00:03:37,421 because there were positions that were decided not to be filled after the budget was allocated. Thanks to this, we were 92 00:03:37,421 --> 00:03:38,746 able to recruit other necessary personnel 93 00:03:38,746 --> 00:03:40,071 , one of which is 94 00:03:40,071 --> 00:03:41,434 the hiring of 0.2 additional special education teachers 95 00:03:41,434 --> 00:03:45,093 . Therefore, 1.0 special education teacher is assigned to Pine Hill 96 00:03:45,093 --> 00:03:48,131 based on the student body size 97 00:03:48,178 --> 00:03:53,435 . In addition, there was flexibility in the recruitment process, which 98 00:03:55,259 --> 00:03:57,035 resulted in a slight negative increase in the general teacher budget 99 00:03:57,035 --> 00:04:03,345 . Well, after budgeting, we 100 00:04:03,396 --> 00:04:05,396 hired one more educational assistant based on the students' needs 101 00:04:05,396 --> 00:04:10,317 . However, overall, 102 00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:13,184 this year's salaries were finalized within the allocated budget 103 00:04:13,231 --> 00:04:15,395 . In terms of expenditure as well, it 104 00:04:15,395 --> 00:04:17,250 was almost the same. 105 00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:20,625 There was a slight cost-saving effect, and it was 106 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,233 fortunate that we were able to save on items such as special education services. As I mentioned before 107 00:04:24,233 --> 00:04:25,754 , we are still adjusting to the aftermath of the Connections program 108 00:04:25,754 --> 00:04:28,596 migrating to Chickering 109 00:04:28,636 --> 00:04:32,114 . As you know, it is 110 00:04:33,583 --> 00:04:35,349 expected that the figure will be further reduced when formulating the budget for fiscal year 2027. However, 111 00:04:35,349 --> 00:04:37,159 fortunately, there were cost-saving effects 112 00:04:37,159 --> 00:04:39,016 , but one of the unexpected things was the 113 00:04:39,016 --> 00:04:40,780 increase in public utility rates 114 00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:43,736 . The biggest increase was in 115 00:04:43,736 --> 00:04:47,532 electricity costs, which resulted from adding two 116 00:04:47,532 --> 00:04:51,884 new RTUs and 117 00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:53,353 switching out the existing RTUs 118 00:04:53,353 --> 00:04:55,093 . Both RTUs 119 00:04:55,093 --> 00:04:58,760 are fully electric. Therefore, 120 00:05:00,597 --> 00:05:02,434 much more electricity is 121 00:05:02,434 --> 00:05:05,750 used to maintain the same temperature during the winter than when using gas. 122 00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:07,308 And there was an unexpected increase in regulations 123 00:05:07,308 --> 00:05:12,508 . Well, this is 124 00:05:12,508 --> 00:05:14,034 something I mentioned before. I was 125 00:05:14,034 --> 00:05:15,516 n't exactly sure, but I confirmed that it is an item that the regulatory 126 00:05:15,516 --> 00:05:18,350 authorities can add 127 00:05:18,394 --> 00:05:20,107 . 128 00:05:20,107 --> 00:05:21,700 If you look at your electricity bill, that item will be included 129 00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:25,498 . Fortunately, 130 00:05:25,498 --> 00:05:27,367 electricity supply costs are 131 00:05:27,367 --> 00:05:32,462 expected to decrease starting in December. This is 132 00:05:32,508 --> 00:05:35,542 because a new electricity supply contract has been signed. This is a 133 00:05:35,542 --> 00:05:37,418 contract signed about a year ago. You will be able to 134 00:05:37,418 --> 00:05:38,836 see significant cost savings 135 00:05:38,836 --> 00:05:41,469 . Currently, we are 136 00:05:41,509 --> 00:05:43,031 paying nearly 16 cents per kilowatt, but it will 137 00:05:43,031 --> 00:05:44,354 go down to 12.6 cents per kilowatt 138 00:05:44,354 --> 00:05:46,048 . This will help offset the increase in usage to 139 00:05:46,048 --> 00:05:47,702 some extent 140 00:05:47,702 --> 00:05:53,647 . In addition, the 141 00:05:53,701 --> 00:05:58,402 fee calculation method for areas outside the jurisdiction will change, and 142 00:05:58,402 --> 00:06:00,292 fees will be significantly reduced starting in 2017 143 00:06:00,292 --> 00:06:02,133 . The only 144 00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:03,915 thing we need to worry about is students from kindergarten 145 00:06:03,915 --> 00:06:05,648 to 5th grade 146 00:06:05,648 --> 00:06:07,526 moving out of our jurisdiction 147 00:06:07,526 --> 00:06:09,404 , and all other students are 148 00:06:09,404 --> 00:06:13,490 transferred to the local education office. 149 00:06:13,490 --> 00:06:15,203 However, as you will see if you read my report 150 00:06:15,203 --> 00:06:18,732 , we 151 00:06:20,648 --> 00:06:22,513 exceeded the budget by nearly $265,000 due to some deployment changes outside the jurisdiction 152 00:06:22,513 --> 00:06:27,408 . Fortunately, we had an 153 00:06:27,408 --> 00:06:29,182 additional budget for emergencies 154 00:06:29,182 --> 00:06:32,487 . 155 00:06:32,487 --> 00:06:34,136 So, we were able to utilize $241,000 in 156 00:06:34,136 --> 00:06:35,527 emergency funds 157 00:06:35,527 --> 00:06:39,428 . You are aware that I have emphasized every year that it is 158 00:06:41,111 --> 00:06:42,578 very important to ensure that the budget for emergencies does not run out 159 00:06:42,578 --> 00:06:44,145 . 160 00:06:44,145 --> 00:06:45,904 This is exactly the safety net we need 161 00:06:45,904 --> 00:06:50,771 . Thanks to this, we did 162 00:06:50,820 --> 00:06:52,497 not need to request additional budget from the city. Since I took 163 00:06:52,497 --> 00:06:53,833 office, there have been times when I had to make a request at least 164 00:06:53,833 --> 00:06:55,169 once 165 00:06:55,169 --> 00:06:58,276 . Therefore, we 166 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,156 needed a budget for emergencies, and we utilized it effectively. 167 00:07:01,156 --> 00:07:03,332 Well, so in the end, we returned 168 00:07:03,332 --> 00:07:05,336 $590 to the village according to the budget 169 00:07:05,336 --> 00:07:08,877 . The 170 00:07:08,928 --> 00:07:10,654 fact that the budget was set at $590 is truly 171 00:07:10,654 --> 00:07:11,618 surprising. yes 172 00:07:11,618 --> 00:07:13,714 . Well, I can't take that ball 173 00:07:13,714 --> 00:07:15,466 . As you can see, the fluctuations 174 00:07:15,466 --> 00:07:16,881 are severe. What I deserve to be 175 00:07:16,881 --> 00:07:18,277 recognized for is that I demonstrated a 176 00:07:18,277 --> 00:07:19,636 firm determination to protect the emergency funds 177 00:07:19,636 --> 00:07:20,618 . That is 178 00:07:20,618 --> 00:07:22,820 certainly true. yes. It is really 179 00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:27,477 important. Budget volatility is 180 00:07:27,477 --> 00:07:29,445 too high, and the number of 181 00:07:29,445 --> 00:07:31,160 students transferring from other states is 182 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,316 increasing in both towns. There are absolutely no 183 00:07:33,316 --> 00:07:34,997 protection measures for students coming from out of state 184 00:07:34,997 --> 00:07:38,552 . For students 185 00:07:38,552 --> 00:07:40,216 transferring from a different school district within the same state, the 186 00:07:40,216 --> 00:07:41,928 transfer 187 00:07:41,928 --> 00:07:45,353 district provides one year's worth of support and 188 00:07:45,353 --> 00:07:48,729 buys time for that district to factor it into the budget, but there is 189 00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:57,769 no such safety net for students coming from other states or students in cooperative school districts. So, we experienced 190 00:07:57,769 --> 00:07:59,601 that situation in both regions and ended up 191 00:07:59,601 --> 00:08:01,582 bearing 100% of the cost 192 00:08:01,582 --> 00:08:03,415 , but naturally, we did 193 00:08:03,415 --> 00:08:06,219 not reflect it in the budget. This is 194 00:08:06,255 --> 00:08:07,600 because I was unaware of such a situation. 195 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,641 So, well, this is a 196 00:08:09,641 --> 00:08:11,682 summary of the current situation for fiscal year 2026 197 00:08:11,682 --> 00:08:13,635 . You will receive the 198 00:08:13,635 --> 00:08:15,897 first report for fiscal year 2027 in October, and the 199 00:08:15,897 --> 00:08:18,159 first budget proposal for fiscal year 2028 in November 200 00:08:18,159 --> 00:08:19,753 . 201 00:08:19,753 --> 00:08:23,862 thank you. It is like 202 00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:27,933 experiencing the 2027 fiscal year for one month before talking about the 2028 fiscal year 203 00:08:27,933 --> 00:08:30,466 . Regarding the 2028 fiscal year 204 00:08:30,466 --> 00:08:32,507 , as the Committee and Mr. Bill are 205 00:08:32,507 --> 00:08:36,275 aware, we were 206 00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:43,567 asked to attend a preliminary budget planning meeting in October with the Election Committee and the Advisory Committee. I am 207 00:08:43,611 --> 00:08:46,974 scheduled to attend one of the election committee meetings. Mr. Bill will 208 00:08:47,021 --> 00:08:48,671 attend representing the Sherborn Board of Education, and local 209 00:08:48,671 --> 00:08:50,508 leaders will also attend 210 00:08:50,508 --> 00:08:52,352 . Beth and I are also planning to attend 211 00:08:52,352 --> 00:08:55,284 . I think they are trying to explain the situation 212 00:08:55,284 --> 00:08:57,942 in advance before the budget guidelines are released 213 00:08:57,984 --> 00:08:59,763 . As you know, 214 00:08:59,763 --> 00:09:01,351 the budget was tight the year before last, 215 00:09:01,351 --> 00:09:02,940 so it seems they are trying to ensure 216 00:09:02,940 --> 00:09:04,715 everyone 217 00:09:04,715 --> 00:09:06,491 gets as much information as possible before starting the budget planning 218 00:09:06,491 --> 00:09:08,183 . 219 00:09:08,183 --> 00:09:08,966 great. 220 00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:10,361 The committee will continue to keep you 221 00:09:10,361 --> 00:09:11,368 updated on the situation. 222 00:09:11,368 --> 00:09:12,422 And I think we need to know how much money is left in our region's financial circuit 223 00:09:12,422 --> 00:09:14,716 breaker budget and 224 00:09:14,747 --> 00:09:15,894 how it works 225 00:09:15,894 --> 00:09:17,230 . There is currently 226 00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:18,482 about $12,000 remaining 227 00:09:18,482 --> 00:09:23,228 . yes. 228 00:09:23,228 --> 00:09:26,659 I collaborated with both regions to 229 00:09:30,137 --> 00:09:31,405 manage the Sherborn and Dover regions separately, which are responsible for the regional portion of the budget for resolving financial stagnation. That is 230 00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:32,915 correct regarding the regional manager. 231 00:09:32,915 --> 00:09:34,989 So, we were able to secure $98,000 232 00:09:34,989 --> 00:09:36,921 . and. thank god 233 00:09:36,921 --> 00:09:37,542 . 234 00:09:37,542 --> 00:09:39,178 Because we have already 235 00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:41,059 spent more than that amount. yes 236 00:09:41,059 --> 00:09:41,881 . 237 00:09:41,881 --> 00:09:43,797 Sherborn spent the money from the non-regional budget at the local level 238 00:09:43,797 --> 00:09:45,816 , 239 00:09:45,816 --> 00:09:47,836 leaving nearly $478,000 in Dover 240 00:09:47,836 --> 00:09:50,076 . So, there is a 241 00:09:50,076 --> 00:09:51,742 kind of safety net in our region 242 00:09:51,742 --> 00:09:55,304 . We are trying to come up with emergency measures at the local level 243 00:09:55,351 --> 00:09:57,272 . So, about 12 people 244 00:09:57,272 --> 00:09:58,962 remained, and since the fourth quarter was 245 00:09:58,962 --> 00:10:00,553 our region's share, you did a 246 00:10:00,553 --> 00:10:02,705 great job. I had to 247 00:10:02,805 --> 00:10:04,498 start over from scratch and build it up step by step 248 00:10:04,498 --> 00:10:07,648 . yes. 249 00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:09,404 Fortunately, the number of students has decreased significantly 250 00:10:09,404 --> 00:10:11,922 . And 251 00:10:11,922 --> 00:10:13,744 for the Connections program, 252 00:10:13,744 --> 00:10:15,567 we have to cover the tuition for three out-of-district students, 253 00:10:15,567 --> 00:10:17,437 but we 254 00:10:17,437 --> 00:10:18,828 can control the costs to some extent 255 00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:21,508 . Transportation costs are 256 00:10:21,508 --> 00:10:23,423 n't expensive either. So there are a few advantages 257 00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:24,239 . 258 00:10:24,239 --> 00:10:25,769 In particular, as you mentioned, I think it is truly excellent to take such a preemptive measure in a situation where the 259 00:10:25,769 --> 00:10:28,751 number of incoming students cannot be predicted 260 00:10:30,201 --> 00:10:31,389 . yes 261 00:10:31,389 --> 00:10:34,446 . you're right. I have completely 262 00:10:34,446 --> 00:10:37,111 failed before, and I do 263 00:10:37,152 --> 00:10:37,785 not want to go through that situation again. I'm 264 00:10:37,785 --> 00:10:39,351 sorry, but could you please 265 00:10:39,351 --> 00:10:41,096 explain the move-in process in more detail 266 00:10:41,096 --> 00:10:42,825 ? It depends on how much it costs 267 00:10:42,825 --> 00:10:44,042 , or... 268 00:10:44,042 --> 00:10:45,690 well, where the student is placed 269 00:10:45,690 --> 00:10:47,791 . The 270 00:10:47,791 --> 00:10:49,660 reason I am bringing this up is that 271 00:10:49,660 --> 00:10:51,530 if a student comes to Sherborn and 272 00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:53,160 we do not 273 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,029 know much about them, two 274 00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:56,515 situations arise 275 00:10:56,515 --> 00:11:00,060 . If you are a student coming from the same state, you 276 00:11:00,106 --> 00:11:01,835 have about a year to plan, but if you are a 277 00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:03,564 student coming from another state, you must take 278 00:11:03,564 --> 00:11:05,211 full responsibility immediately. 279 00:11:05,211 --> 00:11:06,742 We are experiencing such a situation in both regions 280 00:11:06,742 --> 00:11:08,719 . 281 00:11:08,719 --> 00:11:10,489 Therefore, we cannot afford to reflect it in the budget in advance 282 00:11:10,489 --> 00:11:13,898 . 283 00:11:13,898 --> 00:11:15,498 The cost varies depending on the student's needs 284 00:11:15,498 --> 00:11:17,360 . For example, if you can receive 285 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,086 training through our Connections program 286 00:11:19,086 --> 00:11:21,767 , you only need to cover the 287 00:11:21,767 --> 00:11:23,425 costs required to send it to Chikering 288 00:11:23,425 --> 00:11:27,072 . However, 289 00:11:27,119 --> 00:11:29,010 sending them to Indigenous public schools or boarding programs 290 00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:30,807 naturally costs much more 291 00:11:30,807 --> 00:11:33,769 . So, costs 292 00:11:33,769 --> 00:11:35,741 vary from case to case, but the uncertain 293 00:11:35,741 --> 00:11:37,302 part is when students move from another state 294 00:11:37,302 --> 00:11:38,893 . In that 295 00:11:38,893 --> 00:11:40,419 case, you have to pay the cost right away 296 00:11:40,419 --> 00:11:41,406 . 297 00:11:41,406 --> 00:11:44,864 And when discussing the 2020-2027 fiscal year in the October report 298 00:11:44,917 --> 00:11:46,803 , I will provide a summary of the current situation and 299 00:11:46,803 --> 00:11:48,637 expectations 300 00:11:48,637 --> 00:11:50,467 . 301 00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:51,639 In addition, if 302 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:52,995 there are any deployment cases we were unaware of, we will 303 00:11:52,995 --> 00:11:53,874 explain the reasons as well 304 00:11:53,874 --> 00:12:00,749 . There are cases where some of our students 305 00:12:00,749 --> 00:12:02,867 suddenly lose their eligibility and 306 00:12:02,897 --> 00:12:04,061 can no longer stay at the school, and we will 307 00:12:04,061 --> 00:12:04,897 inform you of such cases as well 308 00:12:04,897 --> 00:12:10,996 . You understood, right? 309 00:12:11,043 --> 00:12:14,390 To speak about the facility improvement project carried out this year, although it was 310 00:12:14,437 --> 00:12:17,459 not on the school committee's list of responsibilities, it 311 00:12:17,506 --> 00:12:21,047 was a project conducted by the village. It was a 312 00:12:21,047 --> 00:12:23,930 water tank replacement project conducted at Pine Hill, and it 313 00:12:23,972 --> 00:12:25,680 was already completed before the start of the school year. The other one 314 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,624 was the installation of a water purification system, but 315 00:12:27,624 --> 00:12:29,318 when the bidding results came out, it 316 00:12:29,318 --> 00:12:31,063 exceeded the budget set by the city 317 00:12:31,063 --> 00:12:32,956 . So, the city 318 00:12:32,956 --> 00:12:34,627 proceeded with the water tank construction first 319 00:12:34,627 --> 00:12:38,015 and completed all preparatory work for the installation of the water purification system 320 00:12:38,063 --> 00:12:39,873 . However, it seems we will need to request additional budget once the water purification system 321 00:12:39,873 --> 00:12:44,516 installation is complete 322 00:12:44,561 --> 00:12:50,268 . 323 00:12:50,268 --> 00:12:51,570 Thank you for the support from the Sherborn City Public Works Department 324 00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:52,981 . Employees from the City Public Works Department 325 00:12:52,981 --> 00:12:54,297 frequently visited the campus and 326 00:12:54,297 --> 00:12:55,506 helped with other tasks as well 327 00:12:55,506 --> 00:12:58,538 . They also did the landscaping work 328 00:12:58,538 --> 00:13:00,763 . 329 00:13:00,763 --> 00:13:04,032 Thank you so much for being with us this summer; it 330 00:13:04,078 --> 00:13:05,879 was helpful to both sides. Thank you once again 331 00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:07,836 . Do you have anything else to say 332 00:13:07,836 --> 00:13:08,752 ? does 333 00:13:08,752 --> 00:13:09,535 n't exist. 334 00:13:09,535 --> 00:13:11,921 thank you. 335 00:13:11,921 --> 00:13:15,364 It seems there are no further matters to discuss. Then, we will 336 00:13:15,364 --> 00:13:16,723 move on to the next agenda item 337 00:13:16,723 --> 00:13:19,323 . Let's look at them one by one 338 00:13:19,323 --> 00:13:24,380 . The first item on the agenda 339 00:13:24,429 --> 00:13:29,465 is the second deliberation of the Pine Hill Improvement Plan. Let 340 00:13:29,465 --> 00:13:31,289 me give you some background information 341 00:13:31,289 --> 00:13:32,795 . As I mentioned at last week's joint meeting 342 00:13:32,795 --> 00:13:34,154 , I reminded you once again of our school district 343 00:13:34,154 --> 00:13:35,513 's five-year strategic plan 344 00:13:35,513 --> 00:13:36,972 . 345 00:13:36,972 --> 00:13:38,329 Under this plan, the school district 346 00:13:38,329 --> 00:13:39,841 sets goals every year, and 347 00:13:39,841 --> 00:13:41,275 last week I shared the district's goals and my own 348 00:13:41,275 --> 00:13:42,539 . 349 00:13:42,539 --> 00:13:43,892 And to support this, 350 00:13:43,892 --> 00:13:46,878 each school—that is, all four schools— 351 00:13:46,918 --> 00:13:48,253 establishes and implements their own improvement plans. 352 00:13:48,253 --> 00:13:49,659 And teachers set 353 00:13:49,659 --> 00:13:51,027 their goals based on this plan 354 00:13:51,027 --> 00:13:52,497 . Therefore, there is a close link between the school district 355 00:13:52,497 --> 00:13:55,317 's planning and teachers' activities in the classroom 356 00:13:55,317 --> 00:13:56,968 . For example, Ms. 357 00:13:56,968 --> 00:13:59,882 Alison Gullin Lynx-Rudd of Pine Hill Elementary School collaborated 358 00:14:01,278 --> 00:14:02,797 very cooperatively with Ms. Deborah Inman of Chickering Elementary School to 359 00:14:02,797 --> 00:14:04,316 jointly develop a school improvement plan 360 00:14:04,316 --> 00:14:05,566 . It has already been several years since the two of you 361 00:14:05,566 --> 00:14:06,762 started cooperating like this 362 00:14:06,762 --> 00:14:07,809 , and I think this is a good example of the cooperation and support our 363 00:14:07,809 --> 00:14:08,916 school district aims to 364 00:14:08,916 --> 00:14:11,099 provide to all students from kindergarten to fifth grade 365 00:14:12,146 --> 00:14:13,234 . It is to 366 00:14:13,234 --> 00:14:14,600 help students have similar experiences 367 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,091 . School culture might be somewhat 368 00:14:16,091 --> 00:14:19,140 different, though. While there may 369 00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:20,761 be slight differences from school to school 370 00:14:20,761 --> 00:14:22,382 , it is important to note, as Allison pointed out, that 371 00:14:22,382 --> 00:14:24,316 we are all moving in the same direction toward literacy 372 00:14:24,316 --> 00:14:26,408 programs, new 373 00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,238 extracurricular activity timetables in elementary schools, and ensuring that 374 00:14:28,238 --> 00:14:30,121 students are truly at the 375 00:14:30,121 --> 00:14:37,891 center of their learning, engaging in physical activities and 376 00:14:37,891 --> 00:14:39,734 hands-on experiences to understand the content 377 00:14:40,605 --> 00:14:41,576 . If 378 00:14:41,576 --> 00:14:42,805 you have any questions, please feel free to ask at any time 379 00:14:42,805 --> 00:14:43,937 . It is 380 00:14:43,937 --> 00:14:46,581 no different from what you saw in the spring, and it is 381 00:14:46,581 --> 00:14:48,836 also consistent with the process in chicering. 382 00:14:48,836 --> 00:14:50,913 great. Kate or Mason, 383 00:14:50,913 --> 00:14:52,886 do you have any questions? doesn't exist. 384 00:14:52,886 --> 00:14:54,669 Kate, do you have any questions? does 385 00:14:54,669 --> 00:14:58,423 n't exist. great.

Hmm, is there anything else 395 00:15:13,414 --> 00:15:16,911 to discuss? 396 00:15:16,954 --> 00:15:18,536 Since we are conducting the meeting remotely, we need to vote for attendance 397 00:15:18,536 --> 00:15:20,290 . Ms. Kate, 398 00:15:20,290 --> 00:15:23,907 would you mind speaking first? yes. yes 399 00:15:23,907 --> 00:15:24,475 . 400 00:15:24,475 --> 00:15:25,346 Mr. Mason? yes 401 00:15:25,346 --> 00:15:25,792 . 402 00:15:25,792 --> 00:15:28,055 Mr. Al Panu, yes. The agenda item 403 00:15:28,055 --> 00:15:32,784 has been passed. The next item on the agenda is the 404 00:15:32,836 --> 00:15:34,828 appointment of a liaison for the Medco Education Committee 405 00:15:34,828 --> 00:15:37,905 . 406 00:15:37,905 --> 00:15:39,422 It looks like Ms. Kimberly is attending a meeting... 407 00:15:39,422 --> 00:15:40,976 ah, she was, wasn't she? 408 00:15:40,976 --> 00:15:42,798 Could the connection have been lost? 409 00:15:42,798 --> 00:15:44,485 Ah, here you are. Ah, so it was 410 00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:46,140 Kate. You need to attend 411 00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:47,521 ... No, it is 412 00:15:47,521 --> 00:15:48,719 n't strictly necessary, but as you 413 00:15:48,719 --> 00:15:50,027 mentioned, Ms. Kimberly has been 414 00:15:50,027 --> 00:15:51,370 performing this role for the past two years and 415 00:15:51,370 --> 00:15:52,609 wants to participate again 416 00:15:52,609 --> 00:15:53,054 . I am 417 00:15:53,054 --> 00:15:54,903 highly experienced and ready to start working immediately 418 00:15:54,930 --> 00:15:56,007 , so I would appreciate it if you could appoint me 419 00:15:56,007 --> 00:15:58,783 . great. 420 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:01,925 May I propose the agenda item to appoint Ms. Kimberly as the Education Committee Liaison for MedCo? Mr. 421 00:16:01,925 --> 00:16:03,282 Mason Gates, I agree 422 00:16:03,282 --> 00:16:03,807 . 423 00:16:03,807 --> 00:16:04,966 thank you. Would 424 00:16:04,966 --> 00:16:05,837 you like to second? I 425 00:16:05,837 --> 00:16:07,151 second Kate Menzel Linney 426 00:16:07,151 --> 00:16:07,617 . 427 00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:09,138 thank you. 428 00:16:09,138 --> 00:16:10,789 I will check attendance once again. Kate? yes 429 00:16:10,789 --> 00:16:12,022 . great. 430 00:16:12,022 --> 00:16:12,762 Mason? yes 431 00:16:12,762 --> 00:16:13,202 . 432 00:16:13,202 --> 00:16:14,199 Bill Alpha No? yes 433 00:16:14,199 --> 00:16:17,345 . The agenda item has been passed. 434 00:16:17,345 --> 00:16:20,386 The following is the motion. 435 00:16:20,386 --> 00:16:21,991 All three agenda items 436 00:16:21,991 --> 00:16:28,224 can be processed together without objection. The 437 00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:30,415 retroactive approval of ACED's Town Show recommendations, the approval of building rent 438 00:16:30,415 --> 00:16:34,249 , and the approval of the Sherman Board of Education minutes of June 2 439 00:16:34,304 --> 00:16:38,014 . Is there 440 00:16:38,014 --> 00:16:39,526 anyone who would like to talk about talent shows 441 00:16:39,526 --> 00:16:41,200 ? Yes, I actually 442 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,560 asked a question about that part as well. 443 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,818 We pay 444 00:16:43,818 --> 00:16:45,970 various allowances to teachers for work they do outside of class hours 445 00:16:46,003 --> 00:16:47,338 . Most middle and 446 00:16:47,338 --> 00:16:48,737 high schools, especially high schools, 447 00:16:48,737 --> 00:16:49,961 receive a large amount of allowances, as 448 00:16:49,961 --> 00:16:51,255 you know, because there are many 449 00:16:51,255 --> 00:16:52,619 diverse clubs and sports activities in high schools 450 00:16:52,619 --> 00:16:56,127 . Although there are 451 00:16:56,168 --> 00:16:57,572 not many recipients in elementary schools, a stipend began to be paid to 452 00:16:57,572 --> 00:17:00,669 Ms. Kelly Hodge two years ago in 453 00:17:00,710 --> 00:17:03,806 recognition of her dedication to the talent show for over 10 years 454 00:17:03,848 --> 00:17:05,395 . She 455 00:17:05,395 --> 00:17:09,100 did so purely out of good intentions, but 456 00:17:09,147 --> 00:17:10,999 the committee that reviews and approves the allowance every year thought that her contribution should be 457 00:17:10,999 --> 00:17:12,661 recognized 458 00:17:12,661 --> 00:17:14,460 . It was originally supposed to be 459 00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:16,011 included in the agenda for the Spring 2025 meeting 460 00:17:16,011 --> 00:17:17,608 , but somehow it 461 00:17:17,608 --> 00:17:24,136 was omitted. sorry. I would 462 00:17:25,866 --> 00:17:27,507 appreciate it if you could formally approve retroactive payment so that we can continue to pay allowances to the massage therapists 463 00:17:27,507 --> 00:17:28,375 . 464 00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:30,524 great. And do you have anything to 465 00:17:30,524 --> 00:17:32,028 say about money and building usage fees 466 00:17:32,028 --> 00:17:33,323 ? 467 00:17:33,323 --> 00:17:38,485 Yes, we have 468 00:17:38,485 --> 00:17:39,969 reviewed the building rental fees for all three regions 469 00:17:39,969 --> 00:17:42,772 . I looked into the 470 00:17:42,772 --> 00:17:44,574 rental fees, especially because of the new lawn 471 00:17:44,574 --> 00:17:47,766 . We 472 00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:49,403 also reviewed rental fees in similar areas 473 00:17:49,403 --> 00:17:51,338 , and as a result, decided to set different 474 00:17:51,338 --> 00:17:54,960 rates depending on whether the group is local or external 475 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,601 . The number of external organizations renting Merji Auditorium has 476 00:17:58,601 --> 00:18:01,903 increased significantly, and I 477 00:18:01,952 --> 00:18:03,797 believe this is because our rental fees are very affordable 478 00:18:03,797 --> 00:18:06,603 . So we wanted to strike a balance between the village 479 00:18:06,603 --> 00:18:09,671 assets and the fees we charge 480 00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:13,912 . Also, over time, I 481 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,730 found out that the gym usage fees were set differently for youth basketball teams (our gym's main rental targets) 482 00:18:19,730 --> 00:18:22,620 . So I wanted to 483 00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:24,458 set everything right and make it clear 484 00:18:24,458 --> 00:18:28,528 . Therefore, it 485 00:18:28,528 --> 00:18:30,303 has been approved by all three school districts, and 486 00:18:30,303 --> 00:18:33,949 the rates presented here 487 00:18:33,997 --> 00:18:35,868 are based on the typical rental rates in Pine Hill 488 00:18:35,868 --> 00:18:44,152 . Therefore, there are no major changes, and in 489 00:18:44,152 --> 00:18:47,558 fact, gym fees 490 00:18:47,607 --> 00:18:51,328 have been slightly reduced to be closer to the existing charges. 491 00:18:51,328 --> 00:18:54,736 However, we are satisfied with the current level and are 492 00:18:56,762 --> 00:18:59,496 trying to increase management fees every three years in accordance with contractual cost increases. 493 00:18:59,496 --> 00:19:01,245 Therefore, it is very simple. This 494 00:19:01,245 --> 00:19:02,776 rate applies from July 1st 495 00:19:02,776 --> 00:19:04,259 . 496 00:19:04,259 --> 00:19:05,495 Discussions regarding the entire region were already 497 00:19:05,495 --> 00:19:06,838 concluded at the June meeting. We are 498 00:19:06,838 --> 00:19:08,020 short on time, so 499 00:19:08,020 --> 00:19:09,306 you will need to handle the matters regarding the two regions tonight 500 00:19:09,306 --> 00:19:10,730 . However, this 501 00:19:10,730 --> 00:19:12,154 information has already been conveyed to the most important 502 00:19:12,154 --> 00:19:13,745 stakeholders, the youth basketball team 503 00:19:13,745 --> 00:19:15,369 . They have 504 00:19:15,369 --> 00:19:16,913 prepared a budget and know the fees 505 00:19:16,913 --> 00:19:18,416 . Now, the 506 00:19:18,416 --> 00:19:19,615 same fee 507 00:19:19,615 --> 00:19:20,526 applies to both elementary schools. Thank you for your hard work 508 00:19:20,526 --> 00:19:22,082 once again. 509 00:19:22,082 --> 00:19:23,397 All meeting minutes are included in the materials 510 00:19:23,397 --> 00:19:24,817 . 511 00:19:24,817 --> 00:19:26,582 I hope you have reviewed everything. Um, three 512 00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,770 information items, no, I'm sorry 513 00:19:28,770 --> 00:19:33,486 . May I consent to approve the three agenda items 514 00:19:33,527 --> 00:19:35,666 ? The retroactive approval of ACED recommendations 515 00:19:35,666 --> 00:19:37,942 , approval of building rental fees, and approval of the 516 00:19:37,942 --> 00:19:39,925 Sherborn Board of Education minutes for June 2 517 00:19:39,925 --> 00:19:41,601 . 518 00:19:41,601 --> 00:19:44,363 Mason K, I second. Wait, 519 00:19:44,363 --> 00:19:49,752 may I ask you a question? 520 00:19:49,801 --> 00:19:51,612 How widely known are the building rental fees and opportunities to use the building 521 00:19:51,612 --> 00:19:56,415 ? This building 522 00:19:56,415 --> 00:19:57,736 is a truly valuable asset. 523 00:19:57,736 --> 00:19:59,416 Yes, so when people 524 00:19:59,416 --> 00:20:00,960 come to the administrative office to inquire, 525 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,640 groups like the Girl Scouts 526 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,184 sometimes rent the space 527 00:20:04,184 --> 00:20:06,242 . Well, CSA naturally does 528 00:20:06,242 --> 00:20:08,514 not receive rent. 529 00:20:08,514 --> 00:20:11,697 We do not necessarily intend to make money with this, but rather to 530 00:20:11,742 --> 00:20:13,232 serve the local community. 531 00:20:13,232 --> 00:20:14,772 So, although we do 532 00:20:14,772 --> 00:20:16,230 not go out of our way to promote it, we are aware that if anyone 533 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:17,646 inquires, it is 534 00:20:17,646 --> 00:20:19,312 available for rent at the faculty office and 535 00:20:19,312 --> 00:20:20,728 can be used at any time 536 00:20:20,728 --> 00:20:22,370 . all 537 00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:25,341 right. thank you. 538 00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:28,546 Kate. great.

Yes, I have a 547 00:20:38,806 --> 00:20:41,732 question. It does 548 00:20:41,772 --> 00:20:43,012 not affect whether I agree or not, but I have a 549 00:20:43,012 --> 00:20:44,948 question. I am wondering if 550 00:20:44,948 --> 00:20:46,618 these 551 00:20:46,618 --> 00:20:48,334 allowance payments, which I fully support, require changes to the contract or job 552 00:20:48,334 --> 00:20:50,005 description 553 00:20:50,005 --> 00:20:51,591 . I would also like to know if this allowance will continue to be paid in the future, if 554 00:20:51,591 --> 00:20:53,027 Mr. Hodges is 555 00:20:53,027 --> 00:20:56,194 no longer at Pine Hill 556 00:20:57,673 --> 00:20:58,839 . 557 00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:02,025 Teachers sign standard contracts every year based on their teaching performance 558 00:21:02,072 --> 00:21:05,061 . And these 559 00:21:05,104 --> 00:21:07,056 are the additional contracts they receive. Whether it is a talent competition or a 560 00:21:07,056 --> 00:21:08,791 soccer coach, each position 561 00:21:08,791 --> 00:21:10,296 is assigned annually. Mr. Hoji has 562 00:21:10,296 --> 00:21:11,530 gladly applied every year and 563 00:21:11,530 --> 00:21:12,765 done a truly excellent job, but 564 00:21:12,765 --> 00:21:13,999 if he decides not to apply, 565 00:21:13,999 --> 00:21:15,135 someone else 566 00:21:15,135 --> 00:21:16,068 may apply. 567 00:21:16,068 --> 00:21:16,721 great. yes 568 00:21:16,721 --> 00:21:17,154 . 569 00:21:17,154 --> 00:21:19,607 And in fact, it was 570 00:21:19,644 --> 00:21:20,890 already included in Appendix C when you signed the final contract 571 00:21:20,890 --> 00:21:23,847 . It is just that I did 572 00:21:23,888 --> 00:21:25,457 not receive your approval before proceeding to this point 573 00:21:25,457 --> 00:21:26,810 . That is why I am here now 574 00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:27,677 . yes. 575 00:21:27,677 --> 00:21:28,929 Mr. Hodge was truly excellent 576 00:21:28,929 --> 00:21:29,543 . 577 00:21:29,543 --> 00:21:30,887 You always did your best. yes 578 00:21:30,887 --> 00:21:31,965 . So, it is not a 579 00:21:31,965 --> 00:21:32,880 problem with the person, but a 580 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,821 problem with the position. yes 581 00:21:33,821 --> 00:21:35,059 . yes. yes. 582 00:21:35,059 --> 00:21:36,948 The position has been approved. yes. yes 583 00:21:36,948 --> 00:21:37,478 . 584 00:21:37,478 --> 00:21:39,092 Yes, the position has been approved and is now 585 00:21:39,092 --> 00:21:40,706 included in your educator contract 586 00:21:40,706 --> 00:21:42,327 . So, it will be 587 00:21:42,327 --> 00:21:43,883 filled at the principal's discretion 588 00:21:43,883 --> 00:21:45,494 . Because there might be some years when you do 589 00:21:45,494 --> 00:21:46,897 n't want to do a talent show 590 00:21:46,897 --> 00:21:49,443 . However, the 591 00:21:49,443 --> 00:21:54,239 position exists in any case, and the allowance has been 592 00:21:54,273 --> 00:21:55,422 paid to the relevant employee since it was approved by ACED 593 00:21:55,422 --> 00:21:57,902 . Therefore, the 594 00:21:57,902 --> 00:21:59,467 payment was not delayed due to this incident 595 00:21:59,467 --> 00:21:59,608 . 596 00:21:59,608 --> 00:22:00,756 The payment was processed successfully 597 00:22:00,756 --> 00:22:01,414 . 598 00:22:01,414 --> 00:22:02,895 The committee holds a meeting every November 599 00:22:02,895 --> 00:22:04,478 . We will review it if additional opportunities 600 00:22:04,478 --> 00:22:06,142 or allowances arise 601 00:22:06,142 --> 00:22:10,085 . For example, if the talent show 602 00:22:12,018 --> 00:22:13,799 becomes very popular and the workload of the person in charge doubles, the allowance amount will be 603 00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:16,957 reviewed. For more 604 00:22:16,957 --> 00:22:18,692 details, please refer to Appendix C of the contract 605 00:22:18,692 --> 00:22:20,477 . Yes, 606 00:22:20,477 --> 00:22:21,871 that's all. Isn't that 607 00:22:21,871 --> 00:22:25,172 amazing? Now, we will 608 00:22:25,172 --> 00:22:26,700 proceed with the attendance vote 609 00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:28,218 .
