[0:11] hello everyone. I will
[0:12] start the meeting. Today is the
[0:15] Sherborn Board of Education meeting
[0:16] . It
[0:19] seems to be Tuesday, September 22nd, and I am having a meeting at the Dover-Sherborn Middle School
[0:21] library
[0:22] . The time
[0:24] is 5:30. The first agenda item
[0:27] is listening to the opinions of local residents.
[0:31] It seems no one is online. Does
[0:33] anyone have any opinions? does
[0:37] n't exist. Is there
[0:39] anyone here who would like to share their opinion
[0:40] ? doesn't exist.
[0:41] great. Then, let's move straight to the Superintendent's
[0:44] remarks.
[0:47] hello everyone. I will keep it brief as I explained it in
[0:50] more detail at last week's joint meeting
[0:53] .
[0:54] In particular, I would like to thank the residents of Sherborn and the
[0:58] Pine Hill community for their efforts in ensuring a smooth start to the school year
[1:00] . Thank you to everyone, including students, teachers,
[1:01] administrators, parents, and bus
[1:03] drivers
[1:05] . Everything is going well now
[1:06] .
[1:08] We have already held several all-student meetings, and Ms.
[1:09] Heather also
[1:10] had the opportunity to attend the first one.
[1:12] I was very impressed.
[1:15] And
[1:16] there is an open class for parents on Thursday evening at 6 PM
[1:17] . I look forward to meeting the Pine Hill parents in person
[1:19] . If you
[1:22] have any other questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at any time
[1:23] .
[1:26] Do you have any questions for Superintendent McCoy? It seems like there isn't one.
[1:28] Ah, wait a minute. Did you
[1:30] mean you wished Kate would come back?
[1:31] Ah, yes. I briefly forgot. My
[1:33] last name just changed. I
[1:35] agree as well. The all-student meeting is a
[1:36] really good time.
[1:37] Hello, Kate. We've held a
[1:39] school-wide meeting every Friday for the past five years
[1:40] . I really like the all-student meeting.
[1:42] It's a really good time.
[1:43] Yes, it is a good opportunity to foster a sense of community
[1:44] . Okay, I will
[1:45] continue. I will
[1:47] move on to the financial report. Mr.
[1:48] Shore,
[1:50] would you like to pass the microphone? all right.
[1:51] sorry.
[1:52] I didn't understand it well
[1:53] . It seems like you have quite a few more cases
[1:54] .
[1:56] Well, the
[1:57] items in today's report are those sent to City Hall since the last meeting
[1:59] , so it
[2:00] seems there are quite a lot of them.
[2:02] And I am telling you about all the materials you sent by Friday
[2:06] . It seems like September 11th was the last
[2:08] data. To
[2:09] reiterate, this document is a
[2:14] summary of all materials processed by our office and sent to the city. These are materials to be processed in the general fund
[2:16] and other special income funds
[2:18] . Mr. Bill
[2:21] prepares the slides, and we are
[2:27] very grateful that he comes every two weeks to create them on behalf of our committee.
[2:30] Today's data
[2:32] also includes the final settlement data for the 2026 fiscal year
[2:34] .
[2:40] You have likely seen various small figures, but this
[2:42] fiscal year was a year where we had to keep monitoring because the budget was tight between May and June
[2:47] . We have been talking a lot
[2:54] about changes to the regional budget throughout this year
[2:56] . This
[2:58] report summarizes the overall situation
[3:00] . For more
[3:02] details, please refer to other monthly reports
[3:04] . Basically, the
[3:06] salary budget was adjusted
[3:08] to within $9,000 of the originally set amount
[3:10] . Of course, there are instances where the budget and
[3:13] actual expenditures diverge, but
[3:17] because unexpected variables can arise, we always
[3:21] try to operate with a total payroll budget secured
[3:23] .
[3:29] There was a cost-saving effect in the special education teacher budget,
[3:35] because there were positions that were decided not to be filled after the budget was allocated. Thanks to this, we were
[3:37] able to recruit other necessary personnel
[3:38] , one of which is
[3:40] the hiring of 0.2 additional special education teachers
[3:41] . Therefore, 1.0 special education teacher is assigned to Pine Hill
[3:45] based on the student body size
[3:48] . In addition, there was flexibility in the recruitment process, which
[3:55] resulted in a slight negative increase in the general teacher budget
[3:57] . Well, after budgeting, we
[4:03] hired one more educational assistant based on the students' needs
[4:05] . However, overall,
[4:10] this year's salaries were finalized within the allocated budget
[4:13] . In terms of expenditure as well, it
[4:15] was almost the same.
[4:17] There was a slight cost-saving effect, and it was
[4:22] fortunate that we were able to save on items such as special education services. As I mentioned before
[4:24] , we are still adjusting to the aftermath of the Connections program
[4:25] migrating to Chickering
[4:28] . As you know, it is
[4:33] expected that the figure will be further reduced when formulating the budget for fiscal year 2027. However,
[4:35] fortunately, there were cost-saving effects
[4:37] , but one of the unexpected things was the
[4:39] increase in public utility rates
[4:40] . The biggest increase was in
[4:43] electricity costs, which resulted from adding two
[4:47] new RTUs and
[4:51] switching out the existing RTUs
[4:53] . Both RTUs
[4:55] are fully electric. Therefore,
[5:00] much more electricity is
[5:02] used to maintain the same temperature during the winter than when using gas.
[5:05] And there was an unexpected increase in regulations
[5:07] . Well, this is
[5:12] something I mentioned before. I was
[5:14] n't exactly sure, but I confirmed that it is an item that the regulatory
[5:15] authorities can add
[5:18] .
[5:20] If you look at your electricity bill, that item will be included
[5:21] . Fortunately,
[5:25] electricity supply costs are
[5:27] expected to decrease starting in December. This is
[5:32] because a new electricity supply contract has been signed. This is a
[5:35] contract signed about a year ago. You will be able to
[5:37] see significant cost savings
[5:38] . Currently, we are
[5:41] paying nearly 16 cents per kilowatt, but it will
[5:43] go down to 12.6 cents per kilowatt
[5:44] . This will help offset the increase in usage to
[5:46] some extent
[5:47] . In addition, the
[5:53] fee calculation method for areas outside the jurisdiction will change, and
[5:58] fees will be significantly reduced starting in 2017
[6:00] . The only
[6:02] thing we need to worry about is students from kindergarten
[6:03] to 5th grade
[6:05] moving out of our jurisdiction
[6:07] , and all other students are
[6:09] transferred to the local education office.
[6:13] However, as you will see if you read my report
[6:15] , we
[6:20] exceeded the budget by nearly $265,000 due to some deployment changes outside the jurisdiction
[6:22] . Fortunately, we had an
[6:27] additional budget for emergencies
[6:29] .
[6:32] So, we were able to utilize $241,000 in
[6:34] emergency funds
[6:35] . You are aware that I have emphasized every year that it is
[6:41] very important to ensure that the budget for emergencies does not run out
[6:42] .
[6:44] This is exactly the safety net we need
[6:45] . Thanks to this, we did
[6:50] not need to request additional budget from the city. Since I took
[6:52] office, there have been times when I had to make a request at least
[6:53] once
[6:55] . Therefore, we
[6:58] needed a budget for emergencies, and we utilized it effectively.
[7:01] Well, so in the end, we returned
[7:03] $590 to the village according to the budget
[7:05] . The
[7:08] fact that the budget was set at $590 is truly
[7:10] surprising. yes
[7:11] . Well, I can't take that ball
[7:13] . As you can see, the fluctuations
[7:15] are severe. What I deserve to be
[7:16] recognized for is that I demonstrated a
[7:18] firm determination to protect the emergency funds
[7:19] . That is
[7:20] certainly true. yes. It is really
[7:22] important. Budget volatility is
[7:27] too high, and the number of
[7:29] students transferring from other states is
[7:31] increasing in both towns. There are absolutely no
[7:33] protection measures for students coming from out of state
[7:34] . For students
[7:38] transferring from a different school district within the same state, the
[7:40] transfer
[7:41] district provides one year's worth of support and
[7:45] buys time for that district to factor it into the budget, but there is
[7:52] no such safety net for students coming from other states or students in cooperative school districts. So, we experienced
[7:57] that situation in both regions and ended up
[7:59] bearing 100% of the cost
[8:01] , but naturally, we did
[8:03] not reflect it in the budget. This is
[8:06] because I was unaware of such a situation.
[8:07] So, well, this is a
[8:09] summary of the current situation for fiscal year 2026
[8:11] . You will receive the
[8:13] first report for fiscal year 2027 in October, and the
[8:15] first budget proposal for fiscal year 2028 in November
[8:18] .
[8:19] thank you. It is like
[8:26] experiencing the 2027 fiscal year for one month before talking about the 2028 fiscal year
[8:27] . Regarding the 2028 fiscal year
[8:30] , as the Committee and Mr. Bill are
[8:32] aware, we were
[8:39] asked to attend a preliminary budget planning meeting in October with the Election Committee and the Advisory Committee. I am
[8:43] scheduled to attend one of the election committee meetings. Mr. Bill will
[8:47] attend representing the Sherborn Board of Education, and local
[8:48] leaders will also attend
[8:50] . Beth and I are also planning to attend
[8:52] . I think they are trying to explain the situation
[8:55] in advance before the budget guidelines are released
[8:57] . As you know,
[8:59] the budget was tight the year before last,
[9:01] so it seems they are trying to ensure
[9:02] everyone
[9:04] gets as much information as possible before starting the budget planning
[9:06] .
[9:08] great.
[9:08] The committee will continue to keep you
[9:10] updated on the situation.
[9:11] And I think we need to know how much money is left in our region's financial circuit
[9:12] breaker budget and
[9:14] how it works
[9:15] . There is currently
[9:17] about $12,000 remaining
[9:18] . yes.
[9:23] I collaborated with both regions to
[9:30] manage the Sherborn and Dover regions separately, which are responsible for the regional portion of the budget for resolving financial stagnation. That is
[9:31] correct regarding the regional manager.
[9:32] So, we were able to secure $98,000
[9:34] . and. thank god
[9:36] .
[9:37] Because we have already
[9:39] spent more than that amount. yes
[9:41] .
[9:41] Sherborn spent the money from the non-regional budget at the local level
[9:43] ,
[9:45] leaving nearly $478,000 in Dover
[9:47] . So, there is a
[9:50] kind of safety net in our region
[9:51] . We are trying to come up with emergency measures at the local level
[9:55] . So, about 12 people
[9:57] remained, and since the fourth quarter was
[9:58] our region's share, you did a
[10:00] great job. I had to
[10:02] start over from scratch and build it up step by step
[10:04] . yes.
[10:07] Fortunately, the number of students has decreased significantly
[10:09] . And
[10:11] for the Connections program,
[10:13] we have to cover the tuition for three out-of-district students,
[10:15] but we
[10:17] can control the costs to some extent
[10:18] . Transportation costs are
[10:21] n't expensive either. So there are a few advantages
[10:23] .
[10:24] In particular, as you mentioned, I think it is truly excellent to take such a preemptive measure in a situation where the
[10:25] number of incoming students cannot be predicted
[10:30] . yes
[10:31] . you're right. I have completely
[10:34] failed before, and I do
[10:37] not want to go through that situation again. I'm
[10:37] sorry, but could you please
[10:39] explain the move-in process in more detail
[10:41] ? It depends on how much it costs
[10:42] , or...
[10:44] well, where the student is placed
[10:45] . The
[10:47] reason I am bringing this up is that
[10:49] if a student comes to Sherborn and
[10:51] we do not
[10:53] know much about them, two
[10:55] situations arise
[10:56] . If you are a student coming from the same state, you
[11:00] have about a year to plan, but if you are a
[11:01] student coming from another state, you must take
[11:03] full responsibility immediately.
[11:05] We are experiencing such a situation in both regions
[11:06] .
[11:08] Therefore, we cannot afford to reflect it in the budget in advance
[11:10] .
[11:13] The cost varies depending on the student's needs
[11:15] . For example, if you can receive
[11:17] training through our Connections program
[11:19] , you only need to cover the
[11:21] costs required to send it to Chikering
[11:23] . However,
[11:27] sending them to Indigenous public schools or boarding programs
[11:29] naturally costs much more
[11:30] . So, costs
[11:33] vary from case to case, but the uncertain
[11:35] part is when students move from another state
[11:37] . In that
[11:38] case, you have to pay the cost right away
[11:40] .
[11:41] And when discussing the 2020-2027 fiscal year in the October report
[11:44] , I will provide a summary of the current situation and
[11:46] expectations
[11:48] .
[11:50] In addition, if
[11:51] there are any deployment cases we were unaware of, we will
[11:52] explain the reasons as well
[11:53] . There are cases where some of our students
[12:00] suddenly lose their eligibility and
[12:02] can no longer stay at the school, and we will
[12:04] inform you of such cases as well
[12:04] . You understood, right?
[12:11] To speak about the facility improvement project carried out this year, although it was
[12:14] not on the school committee's list of responsibilities, it
[12:17] was a project conducted by the village. It was a
[12:21] water tank replacement project conducted at Pine Hill, and it
[12:23] was already completed before the start of the school year. The other one
[12:25] was the installation of a water purification system, but
[12:27] when the bidding results came out, it
[12:29] exceeded the budget set by the city
[12:31] . So, the city
[12:32] proceeded with the water tank construction first
[12:34] and completed all preparatory work for the installation of the water purification system
[12:38] . However, it seems we will need to request additional budget once the water purification system
[12:39] installation is complete
[12:44] .
[12:50] Thank you for the support from the Sherborn City Public Works Department
[12:51] . Employees from the City Public Works Department
[12:52] frequently visited the campus and
[12:54] helped with other tasks as well
[12:55] . They also did the landscaping work
[12:58] .
[13:00] Thank you so much for being with us this summer; it
[13:04] was helpful to both sides. Thank you once again
[13:05] . Do you have anything else to say
[13:07] ? does
[13:08] n't exist.
[13:09] thank you.
[13:11] It seems there are no further matters to discuss. Then, we will
[13:15] move on to the next agenda item
[13:16] . Let's look at them one by one
[13:19] . The first item on the agenda
[13:24] is the second deliberation of the Pine Hill Improvement Plan. Let
[13:29] me give you some background information
[13:31] . As I mentioned at last week's joint meeting
[13:32] , I reminded you once again of our school district
[13:34] 's five-year strategic plan
[13:35] .
[13:36] Under this plan, the school district
[13:38] sets goals every year, and
[13:39] last week I shared the district's goals and my own
[13:41] .
[13:42] And to support this,
[13:43] each school—that is, all four schools—
[13:46] establishes and implements their own improvement plans.
[13:48] And teachers set
[13:49] their goals based on this plan
[13:51] . Therefore, there is a close link between the school district
[13:52] 's planning and teachers' activities in the classroom
[13:55] . For example, Ms.
[13:56] Alison Gullin Lynx-Rudd of Pine Hill Elementary School collaborated
[14:01] very cooperatively with Ms. Deborah Inman of Chickering Elementary School to
[14:02] jointly develop a school improvement plan
[14:04] . It has already been several years since the two of you
[14:05] started cooperating like this
[14:06] , and I think this is a good example of the cooperation and support our
[14:07] school district aims to
[14:08] provide to all students from kindergarten to fifth grade
[14:12] . It is to
[14:13] help students have similar experiences
[14:14] . School culture might be somewhat
[14:16] different, though. While there may
[14:19] be slight differences from school to school
[14:20] , it is important to note, as Allison pointed out, that
[14:22] we are all moving in the same direction toward literacy
[14:24] programs, new
[14:26] extracurricular activity timetables in elementary schools, and ensuring that
[14:28] students are truly at the
[14:30] center of their learning, engaging in physical activities and
[14:37] hands-on experiences to understand the content
[14:40] . If
[14:41] you have any questions, please feel free to ask at any time
[14:42] . It is
[14:43] no different from what you saw in the spring, and it is
[14:46] also consistent with the process in chicering.
[14:48] great. Kate or Mason,
[14:50] do you have any questions? doesn't exist.
[14:52] Kate, do you have any questions? does
[14:54] n't exist. great. Well then, um
[14:58] , I'm sorry.
[15:01] Would you agree to approve the Pine Hill improvement plan
[15:03] ?
[15:04] Mason Kay, I agree.
[15:07] thank you. Would
[15:08] you like to second?
[15:09] Kate Man Delini, I second
[15:10] .
[15:11] Okay, Kate. Hmm, is there anything else
[15:13] to discuss?
[15:16] Since we are conducting the meeting remotely, we need to vote for attendance
[15:18] . Ms. Kate,
[15:20] would you mind speaking first? yes. yes
[15:23] .
[15:24] Mr. Mason? yes
[15:25] .
[15:25] Mr. Al Panu, yes. The agenda item
[15:28] has been passed. The next item on the agenda is the
[15:32] appointment of a liaison for the Medco Education Committee
[15:34] .
[15:37] It looks like Ms. Kimberly is attending a meeting...
[15:39] ah, she was, wasn't she?
[15:40] Could the connection have been lost?
[15:42] Ah, here you are. Ah, so it was
[15:44] Kate. You need to attend
[15:46] ... No, it is
[15:47] n't strictly necessary, but as you
[15:48] mentioned, Ms. Kimberly has been
[15:50] performing this role for the past two years and
[15:51] wants to participate again
[15:52] . I am
[15:53] highly experienced and ready to start working immediately
[15:54] , so I would appreciate it if you could appoint me
[15:56] . great.
[16:01] May I propose the agenda item to appoint Ms. Kimberly as the Education Committee Liaison for MedCo? Mr.
[16:01] Mason Gates, I agree
[16:03] .
[16:03] thank you. Would
[16:04] you like to second? I
[16:05] second Kate Menzel Linney
[16:07] .
[16:07] thank you.
[16:09] I will check attendance once again. Kate? yes
[16:10] . great.
[16:12] Mason? yes
[16:12] .
[16:13] Bill Alpha No? yes
[16:14] . The agenda item has been passed.
[16:17] The following is the motion.
[16:20] All three agenda items
[16:21] can be processed together without objection. The
[16:28] retroactive approval of ACED's Town Show recommendations, the approval of building rent
[16:30] , and the approval of the Sherman Board of Education minutes of June 2
[16:34] . Is there
[16:38] anyone who would like to talk about talent shows
[16:39] ? Yes, I actually
[16:41] asked a question about that part as well.
[16:42] We pay
[16:43] various allowances to teachers for work they do outside of class hours
[16:46] . Most middle and
[16:47] high schools, especially high schools,
[16:48] receive a large amount of allowances, as
[16:49] you know, because there are many
[16:51] diverse clubs and sports activities in high schools
[16:52] . Although there are
[16:56] not many recipients in elementary schools, a stipend began to be paid to
[16:57] Ms. Kelly Hodge two years ago in
[17:00] recognition of her dedication to the talent show for over 10 years
[17:03] . She
[17:05] did so purely out of good intentions, but
[17:09] the committee that reviews and approves the allowance every year thought that her contribution should be
[17:10] recognized
[17:12] . It was originally supposed to be
[17:14] included in the agenda for the Spring 2025 meeting
[17:16] , but somehow it
[17:17] was omitted. sorry. I would
[17:25] appreciate it if you could formally approve retroactive payment so that we can continue to pay allowances to the massage therapists
[17:27] .
[17:28] great. And do you have anything to
[17:30] say about money and building usage fees
[17:32] ?
[17:33] Yes, we have
[17:38] reviewed the building rental fees for all three regions
[17:39] . I looked into the
[17:42] rental fees, especially because of the new lawn
[17:44] . We
[17:47] also reviewed rental fees in similar areas
[17:49] , and as a result, decided to set different
[17:51] rates depending on whether the group is local or external
[17:54] . The number of external organizations renting Merji Auditorium has
[17:58] increased significantly, and I
[18:01] believe this is because our rental fees are very affordable
[18:03] . So we wanted to strike a balance between the village
[18:06] assets and the fees we charge
[18:09] . Also, over time, I
[18:17] found out that the gym usage fees were set differently for youth basketball teams (our gym's main rental targets)
[18:19] . So I wanted to
[18:22] set everything right and make it clear
[18:24] . Therefore, it
[18:28] has been approved by all three school districts, and
[18:30] the rates presented here
[18:33] are based on the typical rental rates in Pine Hill
[18:35] . Therefore, there are no major changes, and in
[18:44] fact, gym fees
[18:47] have been slightly reduced to be closer to the existing charges.
[18:51] However, we are satisfied with the current level and are
[18:56] trying to increase management fees every three years in accordance with contractual cost increases.
[18:59] Therefore, it is very simple. This
[19:01] rate applies from July 1st
[19:02] .
[19:04] Discussions regarding the entire region were already
[19:05] concluded at the June meeting. We are
[19:06] short on time, so
[19:08] you will need to handle the matters regarding the two regions tonight
[19:09] . However, this
[19:10] information has already been conveyed to the most important
[19:12] stakeholders, the youth basketball team
[19:13] . They have
[19:15] prepared a budget and know the fees
[19:16] . Now, the
[19:18] same fee
[19:19] applies to both elementary schools. Thank you for your hard work
[19:20] once again.
[19:22] All meeting minutes are included in the materials
[19:23] .
[19:24] I hope you have reviewed everything. Um, three
[19:26] information items, no, I'm sorry
[19:28] . May I consent to approve the three agenda items
[19:33] ? The retroactive approval of ACED recommendations
[19:35] , approval of building rental fees, and approval of the
[19:37] Sherborn Board of Education minutes for June 2
[19:39] .
[19:41] Mason K, I second. Wait,
[19:44] may I ask you a question?
[19:49] How widely known are the building rental fees and opportunities to use the building
[19:51] ? This building
[19:56] is a truly valuable asset.
[19:57] Yes, so when people
[19:59] come to the administrative office to inquire,
[20:00] groups like the Girl Scouts
[20:02] sometimes rent the space
[20:04] . Well, CSA naturally does
[20:06] not receive rent.
[20:08] We do not necessarily intend to make money with this, but rather to
[20:11] serve the local community.
[20:13] So, although we do
[20:14] not go out of our way to promote it, we are aware that if anyone
[20:16] inquires, it is
[20:17] available for rent at the faculty office and
[20:19] can be used at any time
[20:20] . all
[20:22] right. thank you.
[20:25] Kate. great. Would
[20:28] you like to consent to approve the three motions?
[20:29] Jason K, I agree.
[20:31] thank you. Would
[20:32] you like to second?
[20:33] Kate Jolie, I second
[20:35] .
[20:35] thank you.
[20:37] Do you have any further discussions? Yes, I have a
[20:38] question. It does
[20:41] not affect whether I agree or not, but I have a
[20:43] question. I am wondering if
[20:44] these
[20:46] allowance payments, which I fully support, require changes to the contract or job
[20:48] description
[20:50] . I would also like to know if this allowance will continue to be paid in the future, if
[20:51] Mr. Hodges is
[20:53] no longer at Pine Hill
[20:57] .
[20:58] Teachers sign standard contracts every year based on their teaching performance
[21:02] . And these
[21:05] are the additional contracts they receive. Whether it is a talent competition or a
[21:07] soccer coach, each position
[21:08] is assigned annually. Mr. Hoji has
[21:10] gladly applied every year and
[21:11] done a truly excellent job, but
[21:12] if he decides not to apply,
[21:13] someone else
[21:15] may apply.
[21:16] great. yes
[21:16] .
[21:17] And in fact, it was
[21:19] already included in Appendix C when you signed the final contract
[21:20] . It is just that I did
[21:23] not receive your approval before proceeding to this point
[21:25] . That is why I am here now
[21:26] . yes.
[21:27] Mr. Hodge was truly excellent
[21:28] .
[21:29] You always did your best. yes
[21:30] . So, it is not a
[21:31] problem with the person, but a
[21:32] problem with the position. yes
[21:33] . yes. yes.
[21:35] The position has been approved. yes. yes
[21:36] .
[21:37] Yes, the position has been approved and is now
[21:39] included in your educator contract
[21:40] . So, it will be
[21:42] filled at the principal's discretion
[21:43] . Because there might be some years when you do
[21:45] n't want to do a talent show
[21:46] . However, the
[21:49] position exists in any case, and the allowance has been
[21:54] paid to the relevant employee since it was approved by ACED
[21:55] . Therefore, the
[21:57] payment was not delayed due to this incident
[21:59] .
[21:59] The payment was processed successfully
[22:00] .
[22:01] The committee holds a meeting every November
[22:02] . We will review it if additional opportunities
[22:04] or allowances arise
[22:06] . For example, if the talent show
[22:12] becomes very popular and the workload of the person in charge doubles, the allowance amount will be
[22:13] reviewed. For more
[22:16] details, please refer to Appendix C of the contract
[22:18] . Yes,
[22:20] that's all. Isn't that
[22:21] amazing? Now, we will
[22:25] proceed with the attendance vote
[22:26] . Kate,
[22:28] would you mind voting first? thank you
[22:29] . Mason, yes.
[22:31] Alpha No, yes. The motion has
[22:33] been passed. Hmm, it seems like you just need to look at the information materials
[22:37] . Is that right? As shown in the data
[22:39] , we do
[22:40] not vote on these materials
[22:42] . The composition of the subcommittee
[22:45] reflects the opinion of the Sherborn Education Committee
[22:47] . I would appreciate it if Kate, Mason,
[22:50] and Megan Nathaniel would all
[22:52] review these materials thoroughly
[22:54] . And
[22:56] Dunn and Diane, who is sending the memos that
[22:57] connect you with other organizations
[22:58] ? It's
[23:01] probably Diane; she should be
[23:03] on the chart. If you
[23:09] are a contact person for another organization, such as CSA or Town Success, the contact person will be
[23:11] listed there. I would appreciate it if you could briefly
[23:13] introduce yourself and let me know that you are available to
[23:14] help at any time if needed
[23:17] . all
[23:18] right. Mason, since you are the
[23:20] Chairman of the CSA,
[23:22] we will take care of that part. all
[23:26] right. The next item on the agenda is,
[23:30] um, the minutes of the Dover Board of Education meeting
[23:32] . Thank you very much for
[23:33] including the meeting minutes in the meeting materials
[23:35] .
[23:36] Thanks to you, I was able to see what was happening in Dover
[23:38] and
[23:41] also view the minutes of the Dover-Sherborn Regional Board of Education meetings
[23:42] . Yes, that's all
[23:45] . The next meeting is on October 20
[23:47] . Hmm,
[23:50] does anyone have any other questions?
[23:53] Dr. Ronan, do you have any questions
[23:54] ?
[23:55] Yes, it's fine.
[23:56] Then, since the meeting has concluded,
[23:58] would you please move to adjourn
[24:00] ? It is 5:54 now.
[24:02] Would you please move to adjourn?
[24:04] Mason K, I agree to adjourn.
[24:05] thank you.
[24:07] Would you please second the motion?
[24:08] Kate Mansol Lilo, I second
[24:09] .
[24:09] thank you.
[24:11] Is there anyone who agrees? Kate? yes
[24:13] .
[24:13] Mason? yes
[24:14] .
[24:15] Bella Alpha No, yes.
[24:17] It seems the agreement has been passed. I will now close the meeting
[24:20] .
