18
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:53.280
Chsford High School and I there were 18 students who have committed to majoring in education when they um start college next year. So, that was just really wonderful to see that there's that many students doing that. And I really love

19
00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:08.479
the fact that we honor them and recognize them for doing that. Um I even got in the newsletter picture of me with one of my [clears throat] student former students giving me a big hug. So that was kind of fun. >> It was kind of surprising. It was nice. >> Truly a special moment because right

20
00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:24.320
there in those 18 students was one of Susan's former students from first grade and she was just so excited to see her. And the thing is this is a greater number than last year. And this is part of what we had wanted to make sure we

21
00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:40.800
accomplished under the strategic plan to make sure we honor the students who through all these years made career decision to move into the education field and having 18 of them right there was just absolutely terrific. I want to thank Dr. hers cuz she creates one of

22
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:57.280
these for them for the day. They get to you uh have one of these and they get so excited about it. It was great to see. >> I really don't create them ask for them. I just [laughter] I don't actually do. I just ask nicely and bring [laughter] chocolate chip cookies.

23
00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:12.560
>> Oh, thank you. >> Just a quick question, Maria. >> Yes. >> Are you guys going to be here next meeting or this your last meeting? >> I don't really know that yet. Sure. >> I just because the day after school's over. That's what I was just looking at. >> Oh, all right.

24
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:29.039
>> If not, thank you very very much. >> Oh, that's a very good point. >> Great. This absolutely great. >> Uh and it was great to have you guys come with us to the the conference this year. >> That was awesome. Fun. >> Yeah. >> Um Dr. Hersh, any other great news?

25
00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:44.720
>> Yeah, just um one other piece of good news is that Chumpswood High School received the early college designation. So, um, that not that we don't offer the college courses that we already do for dual moment, but these will be free of costs for families and parents. So, it was great news. >> I didn't know that either. I'm glad

26
00:06:44.720 --> 00:07:01.199
>> they were waiting to hear before you met it. And we did. So, that was great news. And then, um, just a public service announcement to piggyback off of what the high school rep said. Stay away from the center of town tomorrow if you know it's good for you between like, you know, 3 and 6ish because you will not be

27
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:17.840
able to get around Chsford because the P prom all the pictures are down in the center of town. >> Not a good thing for me. >> No, it's really notecially right there. >> Oh yeah, >> your only option. So, good luck. >> Yes. I just wanted to say one more piece of good news which is that this is uh also end of the year concert season and

28
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:35.280
I have been really enjoying and very impressed with all kinds of the student musicians from across the district. I've had a the good fortune to see students starting from Parker McCarthy and the high school performing and it's been really wonderful and it's no doubt that

29
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:49.840
you know we've earned the distinction. We're always told we're a district of distinction for music education and you can see that in >> the wonderful students that are performing >> and our wonderful teachers that you know help them get there.

30
00:07:49.840 --> 00:08:06.560
>> That's wonderful. Super. That was a long item, but it's just absolutely fantastic. All right, we don't have public comments today. All right, just for the record. Um, we are on to the most important item on the agenda going forward. >> I don't know. I think this is the most

31
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:22.560
important. No, I think the most important is >> middle school building project status update. I forgot him last time. So, this is why. [laughter] >> Um, no, the building committee met a couple days after our last meeting. I unfortunately had graduation. So, I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Lane because he was at that meeting. >> You didn't tell me you were going to do

32
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:38.000
that, so I appreciate it. Um, we did we had a u the regular park and building committee meeting. It was a good meeting. Um it was quite lengthy, a lot lengthier than usual, but um left field uh and AI3 design team kind of reviewed where we're at with the overarching

33
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:54.640
project. We also talked about a decision we need to make at the next time we meet, which is actually next Wednesday, around which form of um kind of project management to go with. So, we need to um not to get too deep into the weeds, but we either need to pick to go with a construction manager at risk, a CM at

34
00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:11.600
risk process, or a design bid build uh process for the school. There's just two different ways of of going uh about with the building of the school. So, uh there was a very lengthy discussion about that in a PowerPoint. We updated a couple of the uh the invoices that were on track. Um we reported that we had a very

35
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:28.399
successful um meeting with the facility subcommittee of the MSBA board. Um they've since uh given us a little summary of that meeting and a couple of things we need to work on. We were scheduled to go or we are scheduled to go back before the full MSBA board for approval to move into schematic design

36
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:44.240
on June 24th. So that is coming up on June 24th. The only other big thing for the community is we did have a the next Parker School building committee meeting um as well as the last community forum of the year to just update the community where we're at with the project next uh

37
00:09:44.240 --> 00:10:01.360
Wednesday night. It is going to be at the Chumsford Senior Center instead of at the Elks. Um, we had a double booking issue at the Elks. So, we're going to be at the Chelmsford Senior Center, which is great. Chs Tele Media is going to record the session like they normally do. We're going to get it posted up to the website. But for any interested uh

38
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:16.320
members of the community that want uh before we break for the summer, an update with regard to where we're at with the project, that would be a great time to um to uh pay attention and and to get up to speed on it. It is also going to be uh taped though and we'll get it up on the web uh within a couple

39
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:31.920
of days of that session. So it is at the Chelford Senior Center next Wednesday at uh 7 o'clock. >> Could that uh announcement, the change in venue be put up broadly? Because I know I personally have told a lot of people to show up at the Elks.

40
00:10:31.920 --> 00:10:47.839
>> We So as of last Friday, we started pushing the new flyer out through the newsletter. Um Jenny's also doing separate um pushes of that through like connect dead at this point and um it's hitting social media and everything. So uh it will be at uh at the senior center but we're just trying to u push as much

41
00:10:47.839 --> 00:11:03.920
as we can. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> It's out there. You might but you might just look at it real quick and not notice here. >> Yeah. That's what I was saying like really say change of location like making that part prominent. >> Yeah. >> Because I told a lot especially of elementary age um family members and

42
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:19.200
educators about it. >> Yeah. We have a couple of dedicated messages still going out. So, we'll make sure that that is um noted. >> So, tonight I believe that our stars are kindergarteners. Is that right? >> We have kindergarteners and some second graders.

43
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:35.600
>> All right. So, >> combo. >> The kindergarteners are going to be able to go to this new school. That's our goal. All right. So, um and I just throw that in. >> I have to build very fast. >> We have [laughter] we have to build fast. So, um,

44
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:52.320
>> I'd like to thank Dr. Lang and Dennis for that report. And we're moving on to that was a good transition to our next item, which is the spotlight on Center Elementary School. And I love every school in our district, but I have a

45
00:11:52.320 --> 00:12:08.240
very fond connection to Center because that is where my children went to school when they were going through the the system. And uh so I think I love center school and what it did for my own family

46
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:24.800
in this community. So thank you. And Donna uh is the principal at center and she gets the pleasure of introducing her team. Okay. >> Absolutely. So if you haven't met Jen Hutchinson, um we onboarded Jen in

47
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:41.200
August of last year. Um and we're a great team. We love working together. Um, we're passionate about working with our kids every single day and our students and families. So, it's been, I said, one of my best hires for the year for sure. >> Thank you.

48
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:58.079
>> So, today, um, Central Elementary is here and we brought some of our kindergarteners and our second graders and we're going to focus on building literacy and writing, um, foundations, comprehensive overview of Hegy and SRD. A couple things we want to

49
00:12:58.079 --> 00:13:13.519
um, focus on. We know how hard we work on teaching children how to read so they can they can read to learn as they get older. Um, foundations is one of our programs that we use, but Hegy is something that many of you may not have

50
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:29.760
seen. So, we're going to go through that and talk about it. And SRSD is the new PD that our teachers, many of them have been trained in this year, and we're going to um dive deeper into that with one of our teachers who can tell you more than we can because we didn't do the training, but she did. So, um,

51
00:13:29.760 --> 00:13:45.839
explicit phonics instruction. So, center school, lower elementary teachers, so K1, some of our second grade teachers, um, and special educators use explicit teaching in foundations, um, and in Hegy for phonics instruction,

52
00:13:45.839 --> 00:14:01.360
teaching them how to read um, to support all of their reading skills. So um the key to heed is first off it's auditory foundation. It it's what the kids need to do in order before they

53
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:18.560
start actually learning how to read. It provides explicit instruction. It's a multiensory approaches they're going to model for you. So um typically it's 10 minutes. It's quick. Um it's fastpac um and it's systematic. The kids are moving. It uses

54
00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:36.399
a multi-model approach. So you'll see it when they get into it. So the key skills that we're developing using Hagerty, um they work on rhyming, they're working on blending, segmenting, um the addition and deletion of phone

55
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:52.560
name. So really looking at taking one sound and how that can change a word. Um and also substitution. So swapping out sounds to then produce new words. um part of the Hegy daily 10-minute routine. It is a lot of it is uh conducted through listening and

56
00:14:52.560 --> 00:15:08.560
speaking. It's a very engaging um process as you will see shortly with our students. Um there's using hand motions that the kids are taught. So to teach them chopping and blending and rolling, so they're really understanding and feeling the structure of the sounds um

57
00:15:08.560 --> 00:15:25.279
and of the words. Um there's a real consistent rhythm to it. So we're really it's that same routine base. So, by having a predictable routine, we're reducing the cognitive load. So, they're really able to focus on those sounds and learn faster.

58
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:42.399
>> You can try it with them. It's fun. [laughter] So, this is just a couple of pictures of we have um two of our K teachers, Miss Rabidu, actually in action with the kids using it. Um and you'll see the hand motions as they're doing it. Sometimes they're standing um and they'll doing

59
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:58.639
like Mr. Rabidu. [laughter] Um, so our presenters, we have Miss Rabidu and Miss Driscoll, our kindergarten teacher rock stars. Um, and we have, um, Isabelle, Caroline, Ara, and Lily. We're going to put them right

60
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:16.560
there, but I'm just going to let the teachers, they'll have their backs, but you'll see what they're going to do a second. >> They got matching shirts. You guys are going to have to do it really loud. >> Yeah.

61
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:38.800
>> Excuse us. >> Okay. >> Oh, mistress. You're going to want to be >> passion for >> Okay. Oh, I'm starting off. >> We're usually on the floor. >> All right. Are we ready to be here?

62
00:16:38.800 --> 00:16:55.279
>> Yeah. It's okay. We'll take it. >> So, Miss Rapid's class and I some hand motions we do a little bit different, but a lot of them are the same. And usually every day we start off with rhyming. So, are we ready to rhyme? >> Listen up. >> All right. Which word rhymes with lunch?

63
00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:12.559
Bunch or fun? >> Which word rhymes with flash? Mash or me? >> Mash. >> Good job. Nice job. Which word rhymes with much? Touch or my? >> Touch. >> Touch. >> Excellent. And last one. Which word

64
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:28.960
rhymes with fresh? Mesh or free? >> Mesh. >> Nice job, Hero. All right, my friends. Okay. And now we're going to What are we going to do? >> Blend. And sometimes we start by pretending that we're making a silly smoothie, but they don't always taste

65
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:56.720
very good, right? So, we'll just blend our what? >> Words. >> Our sounds to make >> words. >> Words. Okay. Turn on those voices. V Xh. >> I know you can do it louder. Okay.

66
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:16.080
>> Am chum. We'll do one more. >> Ech. Amazing. All right, Mr. School's gone. >> Do the N sounds. Listen carefully. >> We do the N sounds. So we

67
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:31.679
>> we remember we punch up the end of the song. >> We do do that. >> And in my class, we do it twice. Sometimes your class do it twice sometimes. All right. >> So we're listening for the final sound. And these are some diagraphs. We know our diagraphs. Ready?

68
00:18:31.679 --> 00:18:48.400
>> Catch. >> Catch. >> Good job. Math. >> Math. [snorts] >> Cash. >> Cash. >> Excellent. Itch. >> It

69
00:18:48.400 --> 00:19:03.840
was so good. We sound like we're on a train. [laughter] >> We're so good. >> All right, last one. Both. >> Both. >> Excellent job. >> Diagraph X works. All right. Are you

70
00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:19.039
ready, my friends? We are going to >> separate or segment or break apart our words. Okay. >> The first word is shout. >> Shout out.

71
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:35.840
>> Just three sounds. You ready? >> Shape. >> Shape. Sh. A. >> Sounds. >> Three sounds. Chin. >> Chin. >> Sh. Good job.

72
00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:52.240
>> That >> that. >> Great job. >> Chose. >> Chose. >> Chose. >> Oz. Amazing. >> All right. Now, we are going to add a sound to the beginning of the word. You

74
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:25.360
shift shift and add. >> Amazing. You are so good at this. >> Me you. And in our class we sometimes use our hands like this and we take away a sound or add a sound. Right? So we're

75
00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:41.520
going to put our hands out and I'm putting a word in your hand. The word is chance. So, and go ahead and say chant this way if you want. >> Chance without the >> ch. Ant. >> Ants. You got it. All right. Thump. >> Thump

>> Yeah. Okay. How amazing was that? >> That was amazing. >> Yep. >> You guys are little rock stars. >> So, SRSD writing framework was a um framework that um many of our teachers have gone um throughout the year. some

85
00:23:42.159 --> 00:23:58.880
started earlier and then intermittently would go um in grade level. So um Miss O'Keefe um has been using a lot of the SRSD and using it even with um um another colleague um in her team. So

86
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:15.760
empowering writers through SRSD. It's a framework so it can be used with any of our genres of writing. Um I'm sorry. Um in it's a dual program. It has two pillars using writing strategies. It has

87
00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:34.000
pneumonics which she'll get into and talk about it in self-regulation strategies tools that kids are learning about self-t talk and monitoring to build their confidence in writing. So with SRSD there is a gradual release. We are launching it to begin. We build

88
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:49.440
um background knowledge for the students. They're learning the different writing strategies that they may be able to apply to that writing piece. The teachers are heavily modeling it. So they do a lot of think alouds with the students um thinking about the planning process of their writing piece. Um

89
00:24:49.440 --> 00:25:05.120
there's a lot of support into a collaborative event. So there's a lot of practicing with the teacher guidance and then going to the mastery of the students independently applying the strategies and regulating within their writing. So Mrs. O'Keefe has done a wonderful job demonstrating this in her

90
00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:20.080
classroom. I think she was one of our first teachers that came back and really embraced this framework and has done a really nice job within her class. So, >> they're even co-partnering like you'll see sometimes she'll actually be in another colleagueu's room and they're working together as they're modeling and

91
00:25:20.080 --> 00:25:36.400
doing it. So, it's been um great. I'm going to let her dive into this part because I haven't been trained in she [laughter] has. Um so for the pneummonics it follows a system called power second grade and lower we focus on

92
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:52.720
really just the pow. Um the E and the R are for revising and edit and that's something we've really since we started at the beginning of the year we've been gradually starting to introduce editing and revising into our practice. Um each

93
00:25:52.720 --> 00:26:10.080
part of POW has its own section. So for P you have you're picking your ideas. Um we always start with a positive self-t talk. We start with a gist. So that's figuring out um what the story was about

94
00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:26.880
just the main idea. We um figure out what our prompt is asking us. So we do our do what and then we pick our ideas. Um, and what I like about the the figuring out your ideas is I feel sometimes when kids look at the prompt,

95
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:44.000
it can be overwhelming and the do what makes it very cut and clear as to what they're writing about um, and tells them the heart of what they're writing should be about. For organizing, we use a tide L sheet which has the topic, important

96
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:59.360
information, our details, and our ending. And then the L stands for language. So kids go back and they circle different words throughout the story to pull in some of those um higher level thinking words. Um and then once

97
00:26:59.360 --> 00:27:14.159
they fill out their tide, all they have to do is then copy it over and write. Um and they what we've been doing is we've been revising and we use highlighters to revise and the color coding um really

98
00:27:14.159 --> 00:27:31.279
really helps the students identify what they're missing. um where they might need to go back and change. Um I had one student in the beginning of the year who struggles with executive functioning and

99
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:47.279
he did his tied owl perfectly and then he went and he wrote it in his journal and he had only written there's two [clears throat] sides you'll see it in a second. He had only written his um eyes. So on the right or the left side he had only written [clears throat] those.

100
00:27:47.279 --> 00:28:03.120
And when he went to go highlight, he was so eager and he knew that green came first and he was ready to get his green. And we we stopped and we said, "Well, wait, do we see our topic sentence there?" And he was like, "No." So I said, "What do we see?" And he said, "I

101
00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:20.080
see my information." So he pulled out the yellow and he was able to highlight the sentence that showed that it was his information. And then he got eager again to get the orange because he knew that his same was coming next. And when he looked closer, he said, "I didn't say my say more. I said another piece of

102
00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:36.320
information." And he was like, it clicked immediately. He was like, "I know exactly what I need to fix and I know exactly where it needs to go." And just the confidence I will say has totally blown me away from the beginning

103
00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:51.760
of the year asking kids to take out their journals and hearing that and now it's asking them to put their journals away and you're hearing that like they want to keep writing. They love it. It's [cough] built up so much of their confidence. Um

104
00:28:51.760 --> 00:29:15.679
>> yeah, it's it's been awesome. >> Yeah. And so, um, Miss O'Keefe has three of her friends here and they're gonna share some of their writings. So, we have Amelia. You want Amelia to come up first? >> Yes. >> Come on, Amelia. [laughter] >> You've got this, Amelia.

105
00:29:15.679 --> 00:29:33.679
>> Okay. Ready? >> You can sit right there. >> Right there. That's so cute. Okay. Ready? >> Nice. Okay. Ready? It is almost summertime. >> I read the monarch butterfly book by

106
00:29:33.679 --> 00:29:51.360
Gail Gibbons. Firstly, when a monarch butterfly lays eggs on a milkweed leaf, she makes them sticky. This shows that the monarch butterfly has completed the first phase of making more butterflies. Next, in a few days, the eggs hatch. Ow

107
00:29:51.360 --> 00:30:07.440
calls a caterpillar, also called a larvae. First, the caterpillar eats the eggshell and then chews away the milkweed leaf. This means that the caterpillar is growing. Lastly, the caterpillar creeps

108
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:24.320
up to the stem of a leaf and attaches itself to the stem and drops down head first. The caterpillar's bright colors become greenish. Then, the skin splits in and moves up to the top. The skin

109
00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:42.320
falls off. A new strange form appears called a chrysalis or a pupa. [snorts] At first, the crysalis is long and soft. Then, it shrinks and hardens and it becomes light green decorated with gold dots. Inside,

110
00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:59.279
the monik butterfly begins to grow. About 2 weeks later, the chrysalis changes again. It turns gray green before becoming transparent. Inside are white dots in orange and black lines. The crysalis wiggles, then

111
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:14.000
it splits open. The butterfly begins to pull itself out. Something that's cool is that the abdomen is big and then it shrinks and the wings get bigger. And next summer, even more

112
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:33.840
butterflies will come out. [applause] >> [laughter] >> That's awesome. >> You were awesome. >> What grade? Second grade. >> Yeah, second grade. >> It was wonderful.

113
00:31:33.840 --> 00:31:48.960
>> And it's all independent. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> Okay. Ready? >> The life cycle. >> The life cycle of a butterfly. First, when the butterfly lays an egg, she

114
00:31:48.960 --> 00:32:05.600
makes it sticky out. After I crawl a caterpillar, also called a robber. Caterpillars eat the eggshell. >> Mhm. >> And then chew and chew. Always at the

115
00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:21.600
green reef for two weeks. The caterpillar eats and eats. They use this reef because the caterpillar likes those reefs. The skin falls off, a new strange form appears. It is called a cryus or

116
00:32:21.600 --> 00:32:39.039
pupa. A a body. >> A Christmas is like a blanket that's wrapped around the body. Going inside the skin is dirty. So it gets a new skin.

117
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:55.200
Then it turns into a Christmas than a butterfly. It pulls out. The wings are tiny and stuck together. And the butterfly abdomen abdomen

118
00:32:55.200 --> 00:33:13.600
>> is big. Then [laughter] >> abdomen becomes smaller when threads it pumps into the caterpillar. The butterfly wings the butterfly wings

119
00:33:13.600 --> 00:33:29.120
become bigger. A a a caterpillar has turned into a butterfly. It is sticky because it was in the cursor and the cryus

120
00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:48.480
is wet and sticky. Then the adaman is big then it becomes small. This is all the information about butterflies. [applause] >> What's great is they have the painted lady butterflies too that they're in for

121
00:33:48.480 --> 00:34:04.559
science. Go ahead Abby. My son just released his. >> Yeah. >> Have you ever wondered about the life cycle of a butterfly? In the book Monarch Butterfly by Gail Gibbons, we read that when a butterfly lays her eggs, she makes them sticky. I wonder how she does that. Next, in a few days,

122
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:20.079
the eggs hatch. The caterpillar eats and grows and begins to change. Breaks out of its old skin, showing a new skin underneath. This is called molting. For 2 weeks, the caterpillar eats and eats. It molts about five times. Wow, this is a long process. Finally, it is a full

123
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:37.679
grown monoc caterpillar about 2 in long. Now, something wonderful begins to happen. The caterpillar creeps to the stem of a leaf. It attaches itself to the stem and drops down head first. The caterpillar's bright colors become greenest. Then, the skin splits and moves up to the top. The skin falls off.

124
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:54.000
A new strange form appears. It is called a chrysalis or pupa. Inside, the monarch butterfly begins to grow. After a few days, the chrysalis begins to wiggle. Then it splits open. The butterfly begins to pull itself out. The wings are tiny and sucked together. And the

125
00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:11.280
butterflyy's abdomen is big. The abdomen the abdomen becomes smaller when few when fluid is pumped into the wings. This is called metamorphosis. The butterfly sits quietly for a few hours waiting for its wings to dry and harden. At last, they begin to

126
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:32.079
move slowly and then beat faster and faster. The butterfly flutters towards the sky. This is a very organized process. Overall, learning about the life cycle of a monarch butterfly is super fun. [applause] >> And that's second grade. >> Yeah.

127
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:48.240
>> Amazing. >> So, that's what Santa brought to you guys tonight. So, do you guys have any questions for us? >> No question, just comments. Unbelievable, you know, to to see how all these kids are doing, you know, writing and reading and everything else,

128
00:35:48.240 --> 00:36:03.760
you know, I see the kindergarters and what they're doing and by second grade they're able to do this stuff is pretty pretty impressive. So, >> thank you. >> I was really impressed by it's not just the organization of the writing, but how each of them were able to let some of their own style come through. I noticed

129
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:19.920
kids had different sentence beginnings, they had some long sentences, some short sentences. All the qualities of good writing are becoming part of it. So, it's more than just the organization. It's it's the whole thought process about it. I could really tell. Um, it's working great. >> Yeah.

130
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:36.560
>> And I think what's cool is that they all have very similar ideas, but like you said, it's so creative and you see the different writing styles and that's how you model it in the beginning. You model um an exemplar and they build off of those exemplars. And

131
00:36:36.560 --> 00:36:51.920
>> that's wonderful. >> Yeah. Diana >> just um I don't have any specific questions but it was wonderful. I always love hearing directly from the kids about their experiences or in this case getting to sort of see it modeled. So that was really great. Thank you.

132
00:36:51.920 --> 00:37:09.200
>> I just I I think Emilia Sahil and Abby did an absolutely great job. Um, and you took your writing and then you let us all really hear about it, which I think is really another incredible skill and

133
00:37:09.200 --> 00:37:24.800
you did a great job with it really. So, um, and MK just really thank you for um, taking it the next to the next level really. Um, and it's fantastic to see

134
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:40.880
the results of your passion for it and making sure each one of these children learns in their own way uh what they can express. So, um, absolutely amazing really. And I want to personally thank

135
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:59.599
you for not making us the kindergarteners. [laughter] >> I'm not sure that I would have done as well as they did. They did absolutely [laughter] >> and you two are just amazing with the children. So, um thank you. Thank you

136
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:15.200
very much. Thank you to all the parents for bringing the children. We can't get here without you >> uh in so many ways, right? So, thank you very much. And thank you, Donna. >> The only other thing is, you know, the school committee members, we just wanted

137
00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:30.720
to say, you know, it's our 250th anniversary. we talk about civic duties. So, one of the things we had put out was with our team leaders um classrooms um writing thank yous. So, on behalf of center school, Diana um if you could

138
00:38:30.720 --> 00:38:47.680
pass this along to John Susan um we have thank yous that were written by um some of our class you guys. >> That is so >> Oh my goodness. >> Thank you. you know what your work you do a lot um in its time

139
00:38:47.680 --> 00:39:04.079
>> um all times of time we know how much time you dedicate so we appreciate that >> this is absolutely >> nice so so much >> um I I want to make one more comment about the the heerty part I think it's wonderful that you brought the students

140
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:20.160
to model it because there's been an awful lot of talk about whether we include phonics or not phonics and then phmic awareness is I mean I used to teach kindergarten at center school um so I knew what it was but most people have no clue what phenemic awareness is and the part that it's not even reading

141
00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:36.079
it's what comes before reading so thank you so much for bringing the students to model because I think anyone who's watching it's going to help them understand it a lot better than just talking about it would have and um and you showed all the different parts of it you know I thought that was great all

142
00:39:36.079 --> 00:39:52.800
the segmenting the switching and >> it really was >> it was just our teacher >> yeah your teachers thank [laughter] But it was great to show people all [clears throat] the different components of that because there's so much talk about it now and this is proof that Chster Public Schools do it well. >> We're doing really truly appreciate it

143
00:39:52.800 --> 00:40:09.920
and I'll tell you I will put these up in my home on my fridge because it makes us remember why we do what we do and we really appreciate that from you all. Thank you. >> Have a great summer.

144
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:27.839
Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Give it a minute so that they >> can take their time to transition. >> Just somewhere to give. >> Thanks, Jen. Thank you, Jonathan. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you so much.

145
00:40:27.839 --> 00:40:49.040
>> That's really nice of them to do that, too. >> Okay. Well, let's see. We have Nancy. >> It's [laughter] going to be hard to beat this one. >> [clears throat] >> Okay, Nancy, we planned this so that you came right after. >> Follow that.

146
00:40:49.040 --> 00:41:05.119
>> It's a tough act to follow. >> Little kids, right? Um, >> it's very dry compared to that [laughter] >> because you segmented it out for us. So item three on our agenda is the um our school systems nutrition program

147
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:21.760
year-end review >> and we have Nancy Anteneelli who's going to be here presenting it for us. So welcome Nancy. >> Thank you. Thank you for having me. Um so we'll begin with our total meals served this year thus far. Um breakfast

148
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:42.160
were a little lower than last year was 190,578. lunch we're at 506 56378 and our total so far for our lunches and breakfast is 696,956. So we're growing

149
00:41:42.160 --> 00:41:58.640
every year. Um as you can see that's just a repeat of where we were last year and um where we are this year. Um, like I said, there's a little decrease in our breakfast. Um, but I think someday we'll have that all when

150
00:41:58.640 --> 00:42:13.440
we serve breakfast maybe in totally in the cafeterias. It's very difficult sometimes because we are still in the hallways. But, um, it's it's still growth there, you know, as far as what it was four or five years ago. Um, and as you can see, our lunches have

151
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:33.280
increased quite a bit. And um right now of course because lunches are still free um we haven't changed our current prices which is still for breakfast at all schools $1.75. If a child wants to receive a second lunch they can only pay on their

152
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:48.240
accounts. They have to have money in their account or pay cash at the time. So it's still 325 for high school. In elementary schools it's 275. We don't run any credit at all now. Um so we're

153
00:42:48.240 --> 00:43:03.920
already awarded our bids this year. Um paper bid will just um continue with be with Mansfield paper. Uh dairy is still with Rosv and that's a rollover. Um grocery we're back at thirst which we were uh previous to this year but they

154
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:19.839
won again. Um bread is a rollover from Fantini and our pizza is a rollover at Gills. I don't think we can ever do away with Gills. Um, so the accomplishments this year is that we increased our meals served over

155
00:43:19.839 --> 00:43:35.760
65% participation for lunch at each school and we serve approximately 3,000 lunches per day. We maintain the breakfast distribution model with the principles to students at each site. We continue to introduce new menu items with scratch cooking recipes and that

156
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:50.319
keeps growing as you'll see in some pictures. Um, which is a lot of fun when we have enough employees to do it. prepared meals daily with state-of-the-art equipment still at the high school and we're using that more and more as a commissary which we

157
00:43:50.319 --> 00:44:06.880
deliver to um the schools and we work with um and hopefully next year we'll grow with that. We work with the valley collaborative and um it's been working out so well but this year we had extremely great year with them I have to be honest with you and they bring along a coach which really um I think the

158
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:22.480
coach was just so good this year that it it was very successful for us. Um, as you must all have seen, we've painted the high school kitchen and the center school, elementary school cafeteria with pop art designs. Um, and you'll see the

159
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:37.920
pictures as we go along. Um, hired many new employees working closely with human resources in our recruitment efforts at job fairs. We continued the part the partnership again with Valley Collaborative to have five different individuals. There's about five that

160
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:52.800
come three times a week and they assist us at the high school. We have some ideas maybe expanding that to one of the other elementary schools to prepare more for them. Um the staff all received um training on the PD days from John

161
00:44:52.800 --> 00:45:11.359
Stalker with the compliance and um it was a great training we had. It's called the whiteboard which we'll implement next year. We just I just got the training done this year so they're ready for implemented next year to organize their kitchens a little bit more to get some things move a little easily more

162
00:45:11.359 --> 00:45:28.079
easily. We'll see. Um we attended the um annual USDA nutrition conference that is the one that the US DESIE runs and we were there in February of 2026. We maintained the nutritional menu planning that we've had implemented a couple of

163
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:45.760
years ago. Um and that's been working out very well. Parents can call us at any time where we have the answer at the drop of a hat especially when it comes to our um allergens and all. Uh we worked with in collaboration with the wellness committee and we had a great wellness fear and well we increased

164
00:45:45.760 --> 00:46:01.359
catering for events within the Shelford school community which the last two three weeks and next week is been kind of crazy. Um and it's a lot of fun though. We've they're really um counting on us a lot for the fourth grade moving on and um we're doing a nice barbecue

165
00:46:01.359 --> 00:46:17.760
tomorrow like at at Harrington and so we're using our barbecue grill quite a bit and so that's been working out well and um center school which we have a great partnership with them. We've do their um teachers appreciation for them all the time. They always calling us for

166
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:33.599
that. So which is really that's really nice. So these are some pictures. That's before the serving line, the third and fourth serving line now at the high school. See how plain it was and boring and and you can see now the colors we

167
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:49.359
added and the painting we did. It really brings out a lot. I wish I had a closer up picture, but we do our best. There it is again, I should say. Um there's some of the walls. This is um this is center school. It is adorable and it was a lot

168
00:46:49.359 --> 00:47:06.240
of fun to work with Donna. Um she got into it. She really did. >> She gave me a tour. She was loving it. >> She was loving it. She did have a lot of fun with it. Um we do certain days and and then um Desessie this year did a um

169
00:47:06.240 --> 00:47:22.880
a week. They wanted us to all spons like do a week of international foods. So these are just two of them. Figured I'd show you Italian because So we had like a pasta bar. They got to choose different types of pasta. They plant rolatini doesn't look as good as it was, but unfortunately the picture and that's

170
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:39.200
a salad. Nice salad. Then we did a Mediterranean um and that went over well. This is at the high school. It was olives and um tomatoes marinated, nice dressing and nice salad and went over well. Um this is some of the scratch cooking as you can see like we burst

171
00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:56.640
tomatoes which you see quite a bit of. Um the second one is a bowl that like at that this is a lot at the high school because you know that's who we can try things on. So that's a mixture that's sauteed um spinach and tomatoes, mushrooms, summer squash over rice, um

172
00:47:56.640 --> 00:48:15.040
some peaods. So we that was all from scratch, all fresh vegetables, nothing frozen there. Uh that is another bowl we do. The kids the high school kids really love the bowls. That was another um bowl we did like a taco bowl. And then we introduced um we have hot

173
00:48:15.040 --> 00:48:30.559
chocolate some days whenever I get there in time to really make sure I get that hot chocolate up. So the kids love it. I can't keep up with serving it. So um myself and Holly and Laura who work in the office with me that we get in there early enough to make sure it's nice and

174
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:47.680
hot and serve it. And that sandwich is something that Dr. Lang loved [laughter] at one of his favorite places. We had to do a little bit of different. We couldn't do um we couldn't do the home fries, so we use a hash brown and we have all the meats in there. Not the

175
00:48:47.680 --> 00:49:04.640
most version of the B. >> And it's not the most nutritionally sound. So [laughter] sometimes I have to slide it by Holly and say, "Holly, just close your eyes right now." >> They won't. >> But it tastes good. >> It does. It's delicious. I got it over there and it was really delicious. And we even had to get the special rolls. So

176
00:49:04.640 --> 00:49:21.680
we have to go dig up those rolls. Um, so that goes over on Thursday mornings. Well, we did our last one the other day, >> just like we did our last um at the high school. >> You like those? >> Oh, yeah. You like them? >> Awesome. >> Thank you. We [laughter] did our last buffalo um chicken dip for Friday

177
00:49:21.680 --> 00:49:36.400
afternoons. We did our last one this Friday and I was happy to be in the line telling the kids, "Well, this is it, you know, and they weren't happy." But um it's a lot of ingredients you have to use to get it. So, I didn't want to have them sitting there all summer.

178
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:53.200
Um, so there's a few more pictures, different things we do with the kids. Um, the students, we had a Super Bowl day is you can see they're all standing around. And then that's our taco bar. That's um we how we use the serving lines. So we're using those serving lines. Um

179
00:49:53.200 --> 00:50:09.200
>> yeah, >> we put all kinds of fresh everything you can get on Taco Bar with the Chipotle of Chums. So, the future um this summer we're looking at purchasing, we are purchasing some new equipment at some of the elementary schools because we haven't

180
00:50:09.200 --> 00:50:25.599
finished all of them. We'll install a new floor at Harrington to like the rest of the floors we have in the district. Um we're going to enhance the high school cafeteria with a a nice um a nice third and fourth line. Right now it's a little bit more of a

181
00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:42.319
makeshift, but we're gonna and we're hoping to do Steve is thrilled about the fact that we're going to paint the cafeterias hopefully at the high school too. Um so not just the kitchen will be done, but the whole all the both cafeterias and I hope the school committee does come and have lunch with

182
00:50:42.319 --> 00:50:58.319
us. Um we'll continue with our serving of breakfast and lunch at all the schools. Um and continue with the commissary. Uh we are already hiring new staff. You'd be surprised. We are hiring. Um, we've had about four people that already have applied and we've hired for next

183
00:50:58.319 --> 00:51:15.119
year. Um, we're going to be updating, of course, you all heard because the USDA changes our nutritionals constantly with the sodium and the sugar. So, we have to update that, of course, this year. Um, we'll provide professional development,

184
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:31.680
continue to provide it. We're working with I don't know if you've ever heard of Main Farms. They're a great company to work with. We're working with them and we'll continue to work with them to bring in um farm school uh more fresh vegetables and more um fresh meats. I'll

185
00:51:31.680 --> 00:51:46.640
be honest with you, we've brought in and the kids do notice the difference. We've brought in some nice um fresh burgers. So, we don't use a burger frozen burger patty at the high school and we're moving down to the other levels with that. And of course, what I love to do

186
00:51:46.640 --> 00:52:02.400
is continue the menu development for more scratch cooking. Great. So that's all that's just a picture of um we did a tasting with the uh for new breads I want to bring in and for the sandwich that we did. So that

187
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:19.559
was a group of students that did a tasting with us. >> Wonderful. So any input comments? >> Yes. I am going to that the chumptured bowl. >> Unbelievable. I love it.

188
00:52:19.680 --> 00:52:34.079
>> Yeah, it was. >> I was like, "Wow." >> Yeah. I I I love the school lunch. I love the school breakfast. I I get it a lot and I I think it's the improvement is is very good. I think this year it it very good menu items. >> Thank you very much. I appreciate that.

189
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:50.000
You don't know how much she was talking here. >> I 100% agree. I also love the breakfast. Like I love like when I get in early on time I can get the hot chocolate. Like I love that. And I always get the breakfast sandwich. I didn't even know we had that. That looks like crazy. >> Yeah, that that one goes quick on

190
00:52:50.000 --> 00:53:06.720
Thursdays. So next year we're going to um just do that one sandwich on Thursdays. >> Oh, nice. But so you'll see more Superintendent Lang next year [laughter] >> coming over to check out breakfast >> and these guys will make sure they get it there early. Oh yeah. >> Well, I think it's it's great and I you

191
00:53:06.720 --> 00:53:21.440
know, I've been around for a few years and I honestly think a lot so much has changed uh and improved and you've said it, it's getting better and better. Do you find um even if the kitchens are not

192
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:37.440
fully used for the cooking and so on in the other schools now you're not we don't use them all, right? >> Oh, we use most of them. We use them. Um the only thing that we'll do mostly the high schools so if something just is like French toast sticks I will use this

193
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:54.079
kitchens at the levels. Um but like if we're making a pasta dish or rice dish or something like that some that's more scratch cooking. No we do not do it. We deliver it to the elementary levels. >> Got it. >> And the two the two middle schools of course use their kitchens. They're beautiful. They both have beautiful

194
00:53:54.079 --> 00:54:09.440
beautiful kitchens. >> So they do use those. >> That's a huge improvement too. M beautiful >> and I know that you worked really hard with Donna to get that cafeteria where it was and yes she was very proud of it and I believe the children ran a contest

195
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:25.599
for the name of the lion. >> Yes they did >> which it was really kind of fun for them too. >> So terrific. >> They did that and biome has an adorable um they went animated you know both those schools went animated. I said to them, "What do you want to do, animation or non-an animation?" And those two

196
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:42.000
schools, they they want to stick with animation, and it really makes a difference. >> The kids do love it. >> It literally does pop. It's [laughter] >> I just had a quick question. I um I heard you say toward the beginning that there may be or that the hope would be

197
00:54:42.000 --> 00:54:58.720
to have breakfast in the actual cafeterias at the elementary level. Is that something in the works or what's kind of holding that from happening? >> The the schedules the schedules it's you know very difficult to make sure and um you need to have someone monitoring that

198
00:54:58.720 --> 00:55:14.319
at all times. So it's it's a lot it's a lot. >> So it's not actively >> in the works right now. It's more just like if schedule's allowed. [snorts] >> We're just trying to improve the breakfastes that we do that we do serve. >> Yeah. No, I think I think the system that's there now, it seems to be at

199
00:55:14.319 --> 00:55:28.079
least >> making it relatively easy for the kids who need lunch to get out. So, >> it is much easier. [snorts] >> Super. Thank you so much. >> You're welcome. >> Have a good night. >> Very good presentation. >> Thank you.

200
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:45.440
>> All right. And we are on to item four on our agenda was recognition of LGBTQ plus pride month, which is June. Um so we would like to first start with um

201
00:55:45.440 --> 00:56:03.520
the actual proclamation and Diana is going to read that for us into the record. >> All right. This is the Chumsford Public Schools proclamation uh for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus or LGBTQ plus

202
00:56:03.520 --> 00:56:20.799
pride month June 2026. Whereas the Chumsford Public Schools is a welcoming learning community and whereas the Chsford public schools recognizes the importance of equality and freedom.

203
00:56:20.799 --> 00:56:37.920
And whereas the nation was founded upon and is guided by a set of principles that includes that every person has been created equal, that each has rights to their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, and that each shall be accorded the full recognition and

204
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:54.960
protection of law. And whereas the Chumsford Public Schools's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer plus, LGBTQ plus community are a vital part of all fields and professions and contribute to a stronger community.

205
00:56:54.960 --> 00:57:09.920
And whereas the Chumsford Public Schools is dedicated to fostering acceptance of all its members and preventing discrimination and bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity. And whereas the Chumsford public schools

206
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:25.520
is strengthened by and thrives upon the rich diversity of ethnic, cultural, racial, gender, and sexual identities of its residents, all of which contribute to the vibrant character of our system. And whereas the Centers for Disease

207
00:57:25.520 --> 00:57:42.799
Control, CDC, recognizes that LGBTQ plus teens are at a higher risk to be the victims of violence and have increased suicide rates. And whereas it is imperative that young people in the district, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, feel

208
00:57:42.799 --> 00:58:01.359
valued, safe, empowered, and supported by their peers, educators, and school leaders. Now therefore, we, the Chumsford School Committee, and on behalf of the Chumsford Public Schools, hereby proclaim and recognize June 2026 as

209
00:58:01.359 --> 00:58:18.880
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, plus Pride Month in the Chelmsford Public Schools and urge all members to re recognize the contributions made by members of the LGBTQ plus community and to actively promote the principles of equality and

210
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:34.240
liberty. So be it. And could I have a motion to proclaim and recognize this um proclamation? >> I will make a motion. But I I do want to say that I hope people will take these

211
00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:49.520
words to heart and not just take them as words, but really actively promote the behaviors that are um written here and take that into their everyday lives. Um, I move that the school committee um

212
00:58:49.520 --> 00:59:03.920
proclaims and recognizes June 2026 as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus, that's LGBTQ plus pride month and the challenge for public schools. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I

213
00:59:03.920 --> 00:59:21.119
>> I um thank you very much. All right, we have a report and I believe I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Lang for the DM group. >> Thank you. Um yes, this [clears throat] is just um kind of an update for you. Um as you know, we work quite a bit with

214
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:38.240
district management group or DM group around strategic planning. They've helped us with the special education opportunities review. Um, I just want to let you know that I've engaged their services to work with us on a new project um that's going to be um doing a historical budget analysis and a benchmarking exercise which I think is

215
00:59:38.240 --> 00:59:54.799
actually going to be very valuable to us for the fall when we start to talk about the next strategic plan and where to go over the next three to five years to have that documented um history over the last 10 years that shows uh budget-wise, you know, where we've been allocating money, how it's been expended, um where

216
00:59:54.799 --> 01:00:10.480
as a district we've um kind of prioritized our investment ments how tightly they align to the current strategic plan and then where we may want to go uh moving forward. So, um just they're going to be conducting they've already actually started conducting some interviews um with the

217
01:00:10.480 --> 01:00:25.680
direct central office team. Um they're going to be doing some focus groups with some district uh level staff and administrators over the next couple of weeks before school gets out at some point. um they'll offer up opportunities for school committee members to uh share some insights into their experience with

218
01:00:25.680 --> 01:00:41.440
budgeting and the budgets of the schools. Uh and then this is actually pretty quick um kind of report. We'll be working on this over the summer and then by early September they'll actually come and present their findings to us and I think again timelinewise it'll be well u to kind of inform that strategic plan

219
01:00:41.440 --> 01:00:57.599
work that we're going to begin in the fall. So, it was more just kind of letting you know that they're going to be working with us on this project and um when they're ready to do some interviews with committee members, I'll let you know. But there will be a product also toward the um uh toward the end of the summer, early fall. Uh I'm of

220
01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:14.000
particular interest to see some of the benchmarking because they are going to do some comp analysis um not only our desi comps but our local comps as well around um um different investments that are being made uh again benchmarking on academics and um and spending. So it

221
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:30.160
should be uh should be quite interesting. >> Yeah, I like the idea. I mean we always say we get a good bang for our buck. So it' be nice to see if that's true or not. Um having said that how will we pay for this? This is a one time expenditure. >> Yeah. No, we actually pay for this through our current budget for 26. So,

222
01:01:30.160 --> 01:01:45.920
it's not going to carry forward to for next year. We had funding in a contracting services line. Okay. >> So, we're doing it as a contracted service. >> Yeah. >> And we're going to pay for it now. And >> keep it in budget. >> It's within budget for the uh for the current year. >> Comments, questions?

223
01:01:45.920 --> 01:02:01.839
Okay. I think that this is a great idea so that we can see actually where the allocation and making sure that we're allocating what funds we do have and will have to the items that to to

224
01:02:01.839 --> 01:02:17.839
actions that will actually result in what we want and um so I think that that's terrific. Thank you so much. >> Especially too with the budgets forecast not being you know right >> too optimistic in the next couple years. So good to know where right >> and again I mean just hearing like other

225
01:02:17.839 --> 01:02:33.359
districts that are really struggling around us it'll be um I think helpful to kind of just show you know again where our allocations are how do they stack up to those districts um >> and it will help us as we start to do our next three to five year plan >> and I think it's I like that we're

226
01:02:33.359 --> 01:02:48.880
having the DM group do this as well. I think our other partnerships with them have been very successful and worthwhile. So the fact that we already they are already aware of many of the things we do, I think it can only benefit this because they >> I think there'll be some continuity. >> It's been very valuable the other work

227
01:02:48.880 --> 01:03:05.599
that they've done with us. So I'm hoping this will be as well. >> That's good. >> Yeah. It's so we're actually going to be able to visualize where we put the money which is which is >> in a historical like 10 year look back, you know, and then we can discuss engaging with them as we do the

228
01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:22.200
strategic plan work to how to allocate, you know, going forward. Mhm. Thank you. [clears throat] >> You're welcome. >> Super. All right. Um, we have Joanna up next with the recommended one-time budget purchases.

229
01:03:23.680 --> 01:03:40.079
Thank you. In your packet tonight is um just a little memo about um the superintendent's um pass two uh requests for one-time purchases. Um and then this is the third and I think final um

230
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:54.480
request >> final [laughter] >> you had [snorts] approved um a set in March and then one at the last meeting and then um before you is a list of these are mainly athletic uh type items

231
01:03:54.480 --> 01:04:12.720
for um $51,46. And then just as a reminder, um we did uh the big chunk of this did go to the prepaid tuitions which you approved at the last meeting. Um so that's the memo and then the second page is uh the list

232
01:04:12.720 --> 01:04:31.280
of items um that would we would uh like to purchase to support um the athletics efforts. Okay. Thank you Joanna. Any questions, comments on this? >> My question was gonna be if this is going to be the last one or not, but it

233
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:47.520
sounds like we're >> we're we're in the home stretch. >> Okay. >> We [laughter] only have one meeting left. >> Yeah. Do I ask? Um and again, some of these like we start this process in the winter time when all the different departments put their requests in. Sometimes we do have some um like straggling type requests. We also just

234
01:04:47.520 --> 01:05:04.240
need to make sure we're firming up um actual quotes and if we give the okay that we can secure the product quickly. So, uh, these are some that kind of came in toward the end of the first process. We wanted to make sure we had sufficient funds and also, um, if we make these orders, we can get the product in quickly enough to be able to use 26

235
01:05:04.240 --> 01:05:19.359
funds to pay for them. So, uh, that is the case on these, you still have funds available. So, it was a good, um, in our opinion, a good recommendation to move forward. >> Okay. Thank you. We're good. All right. We're going to move on. Joanna is still

236
01:05:19.359 --> 01:05:35.839
>> Yep. So the next one is actually the budget transfer request to um transfer >> $51,46 from one of the categories that is favorable which is classroom teachers over to where these items should be

237
01:05:35.839 --> 01:05:52.315
purchased from um which is the athletics desi category. >> Okay. [clears throat] Any questions on this? All right. Comments and so I would entertain a motion please. >> Okay. I move that we approve the fiscal year 2026 local operating

238
01:05:52.315 --> 01:06:07.760
[clears throat] budget transfer totaling $51,46 for the CHS public schools as presented. This budget transfer is shifting from one desi category that is favorable to one desi category where items should be purchased. >> Second.

239
01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:26.160
>> Thank you. Um we need a roll call. So we've got Susan >> I >> and Diana Dennis. And I say I. Wonderful. It passes once again. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you everyone. >> And we are into my favorite absolute

240
01:06:26.160 --> 01:06:43.039
favorite part. This is special. >> Okay. Wait till you have to write the summary. >> This is this is what I was going to say is that uh when you you know I there are several things nobody tells you about being chair of the school committee and

241
01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:58.079
this is one of them. said this came on the agenda and I said, "Oh, I thank everybody who has held this position before Dennis uh for all the work they've done because this this does take time and effort, but it's worthwhile

242
01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:15.599
because we'll be um reviewing uh the performance of our superintendent. we evaluate uh the superintendent's work and uh I personally recognize that that's one of the um key functions of the school committee which is to

243
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:32.079
evaluate the performance and here we go. So we've got the process below. Do you want to >> Yeah, let me just give you a quick overview. So um it it's relatively consistent with what we've done in previous years. I just actually bumped it up one meeting um when I was looking

244
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:48.720
at the calendar for July because we're going to be meeting a week later in July. Um that gives us a little bit of extra time to get this done in my opinion in July and that way when we hit August which is like a week right after we can really start to shift into talking about 26 27. So um I'm able to

245
01:07:48.720 --> 01:08:04.799
produce the year-end report which is kind of our year review summary at the next meeting. Okay. At that meeting, we also just as a foreshadow for you, that's when DM Group is coming to do their year-end review on our strategic plan with all of our data for that. And then um so we will have that we'll have

246
01:08:04.799 --> 01:08:20.159
some end of year academic data. Um I'll give you the year-end report at that meeting. You can kind of take it all in and then um my suggestion is to take about a month and um complete the evaluation tool itself. I'll email it to you after the meeting. Um, if you tried

247
01:08:20.159 --> 01:08:36.880
to have your uh, ratings and comments to um, to Maria by July 8th, then she would have about a week and a half or so to turn it around. I'll help kind of put all the cumulative stuff together. She can draft a um, the narrative summary for you all to look at and get that out

248
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:52.319
to you by like July 17th. That then gives you about a week and a half. If you have any comments and you want to um, work and tweak anything with Marie, we can and we can get that on the school committee meeting for July 28th. and have the um the evaluation be done and then again when we come back in August

249
01:08:52.319 --> 01:09:07.759
we kind of shift to next year. So um I think it gives you we have that extra week so I think let's just take advantage of the week. It gives you a little extra time to get it done and um to help for the first time to kind of put the summary together and it has some closure to this year and then we move into next year.

250
01:09:07.759 --> 01:09:23.759
>> So I think this timeline the process is the same. It's just the timeline tweaked by week but I think this timeline actually works best for all of us. >> Okay. Super. Um, any comments? >> I will hope yours is much easier. >> Thank you very much, Dennis. I appreciate that. Um,

251
01:09:23.759 --> 01:09:41.199
>> SRSD writing lessons. Maybe [laughter] >> you have um Dennis has been very very helpful. Anytime. So, I truly truly appreciate that. Thank you. >> Um, okay. Anybody anything else? Great. So, we'll look forward to doing this. >> It's going to be very exciting.

252
01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:57.840
>> Here we go. [laughter] Um I don't believe we have we have no field trip field trip requests right so liaison reports have we got any >> I >> I do not >> I I I was going to say I did go to the the CPAC had their meeting with their

253
01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:14.239
new new board uh very very good group enthusiastic group um we are ready to go um so good attendance it was like over 20 people at that it was all virtual but uh no it looks like um CPAC's back on his feet and they they should be get good to go for next year. So

254
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:31.199
>> that's a great thing. >> A very large percentage of our student population >> right whatever the data was >> ter I just want to mention that the high school PTO is now running its most important event of the entire year and

255
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:45.920
I'm so glad to hear the pickle ball thing went really really well. Wow that's terrific. Um but that is because they're going to do the after >> and that is their biggest party of the year uh that they throw but it has a

256
01:10:45.920 --> 01:11:01.600
very important reason for existence. My house has been one of the drop offs for contributions and I know that tons of people have been dropping off contributions for a party. It's a really good night. Quite a few hours and a lot of prizes are given out. So highly

257
01:11:01.600 --> 01:11:19.199
encourage all of the seniors uh to attend it. And my understanding is that even if you don't go to the prom, the after prom is available to you. I had to miss the center school PTO meeting because we were in the negotiations. Um
