Good evening everyone. Today is Tuesday, November 18th, and the time is 6:31 p.m. And I'd like to call this meeting to order. First on our agenda is the consent agenda. Meeting minutes from November 5th. Any questions or comments on the meeting
minutes? Hearing none, I'll take the motion the mot the motion. >> I'll make a motion to accept the meeting minutes from November 5th, 2025 as written. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. Next. Um, warrants 29 and 31 which will
be going around for signature. Any questions or comments on those? >> I was gonna make a joke about the $17,000 in equestrian equipment for warrant 29, but I don't want anybody to freak out. So,
>> no, I have no questions about it. >> For all those listening, there is that's not on there. >> I was going to say what? >> Yeah, >> payroll is way off. That's what it was. Uh uh >> I'll make a motion to accept warrants 29
and 31 as dictated in the forms. >> A second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> Visitors comments. Any citizens wishing to speak before the committee must sign in with the administrative assistant prior to the opening of the regular session of the school committee. The
visitor will identify themselves by name and address and shall speak for no longer than 3 minutes. For anyone unable to sign in ahead of time, we ask that you clearly state your name and address so that this information can be included in the record of the meeting. Seeing none, we'll move right along. Brena is
not here. All right. New business. Co-op with South Hadley Boys Lacrosse. >> Mr. Dubc is supposed to be here. I don't know. Mr. I said Dub Dubick is supposed to be here. Um, so maybe >> we can revisit or do you know?
>> He said he was coming. I just talked to um Mrs. Jordan. >> Um if we need to come back to it, I can speak to it. >> Okay. Well, we'll give him a minute. Um and then the GA sick bay representative. Um George, one of our former school
committee u members served on the sick bank committee um which is a committee put together with um our GA members staff members um to um a lot sick time and keep track of the sick time in the district. If somebody looking for
additional sick time for an illness or or whatever they need, that committee get together to either grant or deny um extra sick time if somebody utilizes um sick time above and beyond what they've already accumulated and and are using.
So, we need to um ask somebody on the school committee if they'd be willing to serve on the sick bank committee. And it's um it's very infrequent that these meetings happen. Um, last year we had a couple, but before that I think it been a couple of years. So, it doesn't happen too often. Todd, do you know more how?
>> Yeah. No, it's an as needed, >> right? >> It only meets as needed. >> And you can do it virtually. It doesn't have to be in person. So, >> I'll jump on. >> Okay. >> Take that. >> Excellent. >> Need to vote for that. I wasn't sure we had to vote.
>> Um, Jenny, do you know if we voted to add George to that? >> That was before my time. before our time. We weren't sure. >> We weren't sure. I know as far as I don't I don't know if you consider it like a subcommittee really that you would like for instance if you're a
negotiation representative that's why I put it as a vote but >> why don't we just go ahead and vote you can't get hurt. Um >> so I'll take the motion. >> Um I'll make a motion for Michael Durham to be appointed to the GA sick bank
representative. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor I >> I. Next is subcommittee reorganization for evaluation. This was another one that George >> And was George on policy as well? >> George was on policy, but it was Trevor
uh Mr. Augustino was going to be transitioning. Okay. >> So, it puts now Mr. Augustino and Miss Leond as the policy subcommittee. Right. >> So, this was the only one that was left that George would or Mr. B. >> I couldn't find it. Remember? >> Oh, okay.
>> So, um just another quick vote on that. >> I think so. Um, make a motion uh to have Mr. Augustino and Miss Lefon be the primary members of the subcommittee on reorganization and evaluation. >> Second.
>> A second. >> All those in favor? >> I >> I >> We're supposed to adjurnn to subcommittees, but we're really not able um to do policy, but we should probably touch base on negotiation.
So, um Trevor, you don't have to go to another room. You just can't um vote or weigh in on anything. This will just be a fill-in um thing. So, we'll take a break for 10 15 minutes to fill in on negotiations
and then we'll come right back. Okay. Um so we just had a brief discussion um for a negotiation committee and we have our first meeting tomorrow which is um November 19th which will be a ground rules meeting and um we'll be able to
update everybody um moving forward. Anyone have anything to add to that? >> No. >> All right. Uh superintendent report. Mayor Jane, >> do you want to go back to the new business for the cross maybe? >> Oh, okay. We might go backwards. Yeah. I was just giving Dylan more time to come
as we're cruising along, but >> All right, it's up to you. >> Well, go for it. Let's do it. >> All right. Uh, so Mr. Deuke is putting forward um for a vote for our lacrosse program to co-op with South Hadley. South Hadley
expressed uh interest in uh co-oping. Our numbers are declining. um as well as we had co-opted with the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School um for our lacrosse for the past couple of seasons.
Even with those numbers, the two schools combined uh he believed we would be around 11 players uh which is how many you field at a time. Uh so it wasn't a sustainable model. Um so Pal is experiencing some declining enrollment
and participation as well. So looking to have our um school, our se our 7th through 12 be able to participate in the co. >> Will we be the host school or South? >> South will be the host school. Um and so
we would their user fee is um I think it's $250. So the students would be paying the South Padley user fee rate uh for participation >> and we can help those that might not be able to afford um >> we have our regular mechanism
>> regular. Yeah. I just want to make sure that just by sheer going uh sheer uh point of going to the South Co-op that we're not eliminating someone's ability to participate >> for financial reasons. So um so it would just
>> use our regular mechanism for us. Um, so it would just be another an additional co-op. Um, like we have we have a couple with Southley and Correct. And we have um one with Ammerst for football and >> Adley for golf >> and then um someone for hockey, right?
Oh, is that Dylan now? >> I don't know. >> Yep. >> Yep. Come in. >> Hello. We were just talking about this. Come on. Have a seat. agenda
is moving quickly today. >> All right. Yeah. Sorry. >> Todd gave us the overview, but um just what you what do you >> Yeah, so we have nine returning players. There's 11 people on a field at once. Um we've only fielded varsity the last
couple years. This is a program that's come and gone with the numbers. We had a co-op with the Pioneer Valley Chinese School. They only have four players and of our nine, four are going to be eighth graders. Playing a varsity lacrosse is
>> it's a lot. >> It's tough. Um it's very dangerous, too. So, um with the numbers being low, really can't even feel the full 11. Um and then middle schoolers, um reached out Hadley's only had a varsity program
last year. They're trying to build their JV back up. They're take they're willing to take us and the Piner Valley kids. Um and then those four eighth graders could also still play for South Hadley RC seventh and eighth grade if they want to stay playing lacrosse. I reached out to
Andy at the rec um to make sure they would have a place if they wanted to still play. So >> it's not ideal but it keeps our kids giving our kids a chance to play a sport that they you know it's always new. Well, not always, but most of the time it's lacrosse is new to our students
because there's no youth lacrosse. So, some of them fall in love with it and you know, we want to make sure they still have a place to go if they want to keep keep up with it if we think that's a good idea for our kids. >> And, uh, transportation is like any other um, families are responsible.
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's been our thing with the co-ops. It's it's hard to, you know, offer up busing. Right now in the winter we have the boys ice hockey in Chabe swim in Hoyo. Girls ice hockey in Long Meadow. >> Mhm. >> To try to transport kids all over the
place would become pretty crazy. >> Unaffordable for sure. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um any additional questions on the co-op co-op? >> Hearing none. I did >> just a question. the um to south um does Hadley the attorneys emerging school
also have to do this vote or are they just by by our >> I don't know what I imagine they have to get approval from their school or their school committee. I don't know how it works over there but um >> because we're already cooperative then so I guess >> yeah just saying that we're in doesn't
guarantee that they're in I think they got to make that decision as their own school and >> just a question I wasn't sure. Yeah, I I know that I've heard from one of the parents they from their side that they were happy that they still had a chance to keep playing.
>> All right. Um I'll take the motion. >> Uh make a motion to accept the boys lacrosse co-op with Self Badley. >> Second. >> All those in favor? I >> I >> Thanks, Dylan. >> All right. Have a good night, guys. >> Bye. >> All right, Mary Jane. I just have a
couple of things. I did want to share some of our MCCAST results with you all, but I'll do that at the end of my presentation. I've been trying to um keep you all a breast of things that are happening with um at the department of education and um I've been trying to put in every month the um actual u meetings
that they have for for DESIE. One of the last meetings they had they were talking about um lenture for staff and trying to see how we can recruit more teachers. So, even though um the meeting was this morning, um I did want to let you take a look at it. If you're interested, you
can you can follow and follow and look at it for the future. But I think it's good information for us to have and I'm going to try to continue to give you that information. Um I also wanted to let folks know that um Desi is also doing a name the snowplow contest and some of our schools, our schools, some
of our students are already starting to participate in that. So, it's going to be name a snowplow contest and I'm kind of excited to see what the kids come up with on that. Um, that'll be kind of fun. Um, I did want to bring something up though. Um, because we didn't have
policy subcommittee, I do have some concerns that now that the MCCAST is no longer graduation requirement, we're required to submit our new competency determined policy to DESIE. So, we'll have you if you take a look at your uh packet that Jenny gave you, there are some unread policies in there. Um you'll
find IKF which is our graduation policy, IKFE, the composite determination policy and IKFAB which is a policy that we don't need anymore because of certificate of attainment um in that folder. Um required to submit this determination by the end of December and
the high school guides department and myself and along with the high school principal took a look at these policies and and um made them work for our district. So, I'd like you guys to take if you can if we don't have a we need to have either subcommittee meeting or take a look at the meeting um the policies
for the next meeting. So, if we can do a first read at the next meeting or accept it um but again, whatever we decide I need the policy accepted by the 16th of December so that I can put it in the portal. It may take me a few days to get it in there. So, it's pretty uh boiler
standard plate. Um you know, everybody kind of following the same the same rules. The only thing that will be different is our actual graduation policy. what our credits are. So that initial policy would be different than everybody else's but pretty much the compet policy competency determination policies is you know pretty much the
same just a little bit here and there. So if we can take a look at that maybe if we can't have a policy put a policy subcommittee meeting for the next meeting and take a look at that if we can. So and I just have a a little presentation here. nothing um
that's going to take too too long, but I did want to share our MCCAST results. I know that people were worried about the MCCAST results um across the state. They've been going down. >> Um request for access >> access denied.
>> Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. You're all restricted. I will give you anybody with the link can have it. Okay, we should all have it now. So even though the state went down, MCCAST I can say uh what they're comparing us to now um this year is the
preandemic MCCAST results. So what you're seeing there are results from 2019. So if you take a look at our trends from um 2019 today um we've actually gone up five points um in ELA in grades 3 through 8. um in math we
went up 10 points and in the uh science at two points. So I mean those aren't significant um gains but because we were falling um we were kind of declining after the pandemic we're starting to make gains up again. So I just wanted you to see it and you can see the chart what that looks like. You know we've
dipped a little bit and now we're kind of heading back up into the into the trajectory zone. our staff um principles met with the staff members to talk about specifically what questions that we needed to work on and what our curriculum looks like. So we did break this down, you know, by um standard and
by question for the MCCAST and those types of things to help us uh in the future. But the high school is very um you know pre and post pandemic is very similar um plus 5 plus 10 and plus two. So that's our overall uh almost they mirror
the other um scores as well but you can see that um the trajectory for there pretty much stayed the same at the high school. We are noticing a slight decline at this year because as we know the MCCAST is no longer a requirement. So even though we
are still ahead the before the pandemic we we did go down slightly this year because students I think realize that the MCCAST is no longer a graduation requirement. So, we're really trying to work with the families to let them know that the MCCAST is still important because it's good information for us. They still offer the Abigail and John
Adams scholarships. So, you know, there are um things that students can get out of that. So, we're really looking to um see how we can um increase those numbers. These are specific charts. Um this
particular first chart shows the students with and without disabilities. Um you can see that um everybody is making progress. Um students with disabilities you know about 6%, students without disabilities 62 and then all students in general about 31% in English
language arts. That was our biggest uh gains. Uh math not quite as high but we're still making gains. The students with disabilities is still at 6% which would be great if we can get them a little higher but um the all students at 32 and then math is again at 41%. So you
know we are making slight gains um slightly better in science for the students with special needs um and with all of the students. So um students without disabilities with and without disabilities that's just all of our students. I don't know how they categorize that students with and without disabilities but I don't know
how that's different than all students but that's how they categorize it. And then this is by population um lowinccome non lowincome and then all students. So, you know, we do have a little bit of work with our low-income students, but um the non-income and the
all students are pretty close with the exception of of science. Uh same thing in grades three through eight. Take a look at these charts. You can see we're really doing well in science um for grades three through
eight, which is remarkable since our science curriculum um really has just amped up in the last couple of years. So, we're really impressed with those numbers and we're just going to continue to see that um move forward. I'm I'm pretty sure um our fifth and sixth grade teachers are really uh taking the bull
by their horns and really um making sure the students get more science than they've ever had in the past. So, I'm really excited to see next year's numbers with those students. And then at the high school, these are the students who meeting or exceeding uh and I didn't make a graph for that one
um because it's only one grade. So if you take a look at uh that particular graph, you can see that um 18% of our students are um meeting or exceeding at the high school, 9% at math for low income. Um they don't have it in we
don't have any numbers for the for the biology. Um high needs 20% and ELA and you can read these yourself. So, I didn't know if you guys had questions. I don't want to read it all out loud, but I will be putting this on the website for families
to see as well. Um, so make sure we do that. And then overall, our classifications, we're not needing assistance and that particular reason is because we made moderate progress towards our targets that were given to us. And I've given you a link of our district profile and you can see that a
little bit more of what that looks like and how um we did overall as a district and as a school. I kind of did a quick overview for you, but I wasn't sure how long the subcommittees were going to be. So, but I can definitely go into this uh in
further in depth by question if you'd like it me to do that as well, but it's totally up to you folks. >> One thing I didn't um Oh, I'm sorry. I was moving I was moving right along. Um I don't have any questions on this. Thank you. >> I was just going to say that's trending
in the right direction. We are trending in the right direction. >> Yeah. Compared to some people in the state, you know, they did they did have concerns with third grade, but we overall are are are making good good game, good progress, >> for sure.
>> Um, one thing I didn't see in your update is that NHS induction is on Thursday. >> It is. Yes, that is. It is. I will be there. Yes. NHS induction is six o'clock, I believe, at East Meadow. >> In the gym. >> Yeah, in the gym. I assumed Brianna was going to move here. So I >> Brena.
>> Brianna. Brena. Yes. I keep call her that. Every time I see her, she tells Brena. >> Yes. So yes, that is the National Honor Society. Um and yes, I will be there. And um I believe everybody was invited. So we'd love >> Did you all get your invitations? >> I believe so. >> Okay. >> What was that too?
>> For National Honor Society. National Honor Society induction. >> An email. >> Uh I guess it was sent as an email. I got um >> I'd have >> Crystal Crystal Drain who is the NHS adviser. She asked me cuz my daughter's being inducted so she asked me if I was
wanted to sit as a parent or sit on stage and I chose on stage so I can hug her on stage and all of her little friends. Um but yeah, so I I didn't get an email but um I know that it's then. So I said East Meadow at six o'clock, Mr. Augustino,
>> East Meadow at uh when >> Thursday. Thursday. Did I say tomorrow? Thursday. >> No, it was >> Oh, >> 6 o' >> 6 o'clock here in the gym. >> All right. Any um additional questions for Mary Jane? >> Yeah, I I just I'm looking at the 2025
MCA's meets or exceeds high school. Again, we're not longer using them. So, any numbers we're looking at really because the kids may or students may make a choice just hey, we're going to >> not have to do that. trying to make sure that they, you know, they take it serious
>> because I was just looking at this 6% male in math and 45% females. >> That was something that drew I looked right at like, wow. But again, we can't really use this as a number because I was a student once. I know when I had especially my senior year, you know, it
was loose. You just did whatever you wanted. Yeah, we we we do have some concerns and I I think statewide it's a concern. >> Um for the students who, you know, are interested in going to college and looking for that extra um Abigail Adams and those scholarships to to help pay
for some of that, those students are still going to continue to be successful. Um and I'd like to think everybody else would also be, but you know, if it's not a graduation requirement, I think some people may not um take it as as seriously. But, you know, time will tell. I we have great kids in
Graanby. So um >> and I'm sure there'll be other methods to track things and see a better >> determination is about. So that's what we actually have to report to the state because they want to know how are you because we don't have the MCCast what methods are you using. So I have to
submit all the data to them about you know what our testing looks like and what standards are reaching. So those are um that that's the new way it's and the state which is is also coming across to us in many different forms is um the
governor has created is a new task force to look at graduation requirements. So we all of us are a little concerned that are we doing this and then having the governor come out with something else. So >> that is a concern as for for us as well. But you know we got to follow the
timelines and the guidelines and we'll change it as we as we need to that's that's all I have. Any additional questions? >> All right, Todd, you're up. >> Uh so I put in the folder the draft of
the FY27 budget calendar. I shared it with the uh leadership team today. Um we had our initial meeting last Thursday with the town administrator. Um I reached out to ensure that we were
going to meet uh her timeline uh for the budget process. Um so she appreciated us having that initial conversation. uh we don't have any parameters or marching orders as it were
um other than you know it's going to be a tough budget cycle um so that's all the real information information that we were able to take away from that which um you know I we typically really get into the meat of it
uh once the governor's uh cherry sheet comes out those initial estimates that becomes real numbers for us to work from. Um, excuse me. And as I have on here and as I've done the past couple of the years, um, I'll be providing the
initial, excuse me, templates for the department heads, the principles, uh, to begin drafting their budgets, um, based on what they've used uh, the past few years. We're not doing a zerobased budget. we have so few real
discretionary lines um that if they are looking to introduce new things there this is certainly the opportunity to bring those forward and we'll have those uh discussions um as we get those back and then I will send that first draft uh to the town administrator um by December
30th. >> Um just to refresh my memory, when's the cherry sheets come out? Is that January? >> Yeah, it's typically about the third week of January. >> Yeah. Okay. Um so the one question that I have for the committee last year in
December we did a public forums to solicit information or thoughts from the community um in the early stage of the budget. We didn't have any participation uh from the community. Um I wanted to see if the committee still wanted to
make that available uh for that second December meeting um in our calendar. wondering if there's a way that we could do it differently, like do we I mean, we're looking for input or whatever. I I don't know. I'm just sort of off the top
of my head at this point, but do we include a link to the budget in the newsletter? And if people have questions, they could we could maybe make a spot on the website people we could generate questions and you know if we have it out maybe the
do it weekly or something the week before and if we have any we could try to address them at the top of one of our next meetings. I I don't So, this is going to come out wonky, but I don't want to waste our time to come prepared
for a meeting to go through stuff if we're not going to get if we're not going to have any participation, >> right? >> But if we put it out there and there's interest and people want to come and have a conversation or if we have questions ahead of time that we can prepare and speak to, I feel like that
might be beneficial. But I don't want us to come and um >> like you could go in the newsletter and they can send any any inquiries, any questions that you'd like to feel to the school committee, send to the administrative assistant and I can >> you know I you don't usually have the budget done in December 16th.
>> No. So what I would >> it's just like but it was we because we we the reason this started is that in the past people were upset saying that they didn't know and they wanted to be a part of. So we're like well all right well we hear you. let's have some of these conversations. Let's, you know,
we'll put it out there what it's looking like, what we're what we're hearing, what we're feeling, you know, how it looks. And then, you know, we prepared stuff. We came and we sat here and went, we essentially stared at each other for a little bit and went over the stuff. So, it was recorded, but no one ever
looks at it. No questions were generated from it. So, I don't want to make busy work and I don't want to have people commit time to come when we we already have like we're going to have negotiations. We're going to have all these other things piling up on top of.
I don't want to be a time burden for people especially at this time of year. >> I So, yes, uh December 16th is a regularly scheduled meeting. So, I wasn't going to add >> uh an additional day. Um, and what I
would do, um, I can repost our FY26 budget as a point of comparison. I wouldn't be ready, uh, to put an FY27 version out. I still I'm just getting them
turned in by the department heads. There's negotiations going on. There's a number of things that that information just isn't ready for uh, the public to review. but having an FY26, this is what we're spending money on this year. Are there areas that you
think we're missing or things of that nature that might generate those kinds of questions? So, I think I would >> or approach it that way. >> Does it make sense to post it or push it and do a forum like that in like January instead? You know, I I don't know. I'm
just thinking I mean if we have a regular scheduled meeting that's one time but we came early >> right >> to to have it yeah >> and nothing happened. So, >> so the the reason that I propose December rather than January
because if there is something that we are trying to adopt or uh incorporate from community feedback, I want would like to have a chance to have that be part of that first draft that I send to the town administrator to use that timeline. >> Well, I think it's a good idea. We may
send out a link in the newsletter to capture people's thoughts and then we could roll it into a subcommittee discussion and then get those grafted into a potential um discussion with the town. >> We could do um >> people who are uh who want to access it.
you could do a Google form that captures uh that that link would be available and we could um provide >> or even if it's just like gathering information, you know, if even if there's not we could put the old one out there, but if there's just general questions about things related to
>> then, you know, we can have that and collect that information so that at the beginning of the meeting or as a part of the meeting on the 16th, we can take, you know, >> review them. we're viewing them and it becomes part of the public. If people want to come and and be heard and be
part of the conversation at initially that would be fine, but I just, you know, I don't want to add more for nothing, you know, and if if if we put it out there, I don't see why we couldn't put it out there even sooner.
Just like, do you have any um questions, comments, concern about upcoming as we're getting ready to go into budget season and see if anything's generated? you know, it's not >> that's easy enough to do. >> It's community only, but um I don't know how we can get it out beyond that if you've put a link on the website if
anyone's watching and wants to do that. But, you know, I don't um that's one of the things where we have the disconnect, right? Like we don't have our focus is the school families and that community that reaches out to us. We don't have a way that's been successful to get beyond
that realm. But if you know if we can get the word out or post on the website and if anybody watches this you know if people have questions maybe we maybe we can get interest that way. I I don't I don't know I'm at a loss but >> I think giving a try right absolutely
and that's a way to engage the stakeholders and then we can have that discussion I think >> I think that's a better approach than the meeting. Yeah, people I mean we the best luck we ever had with attendance for meeting was when um we had the ability to have stream it live and had
people um >> we can still do that till the end of November next year. >> Um but you know we we haven't been doing that um here. So, you know, it's another way that we could potentially revisit that when we do budget stuff further
down is maybe post a link and have a a Google or Zoom or whatever teams or whatever you want to call it. So, um >> No, I like the idea. I think that's a great way because if people can't come out whatever reason, that's a great way for the still to participate by, you
know, putting the thoughts down and it'll be helpful. >> Sure. All right. >> So, make that adjustment. >> Okay. to the calendar. >> We'll get that into the web. I'll talk to the principles and uh >> probably do it right after Thanksgiving. I don't know if they can.
>> And the only other highlighted areas where I'm working with the principles about um working with their meetings and things to be able to keep the staff uh the faculty and staff informed of where we are in the budget process. So those are your only other highlighted
areas or some dates that might be changed just a little bit based on their meeting schedules. >> Perfect. >> Anything else? >> Nope, that's all that I have. >> How's everyone still loving the new kitchen? >> Trevor has something to add. >> Oh, sorry, Trevor. >> That's okay. Um I just at the last
meeting you had mentioned that about getting some information from the town administrator. Has that been accomplished? >> Um not yet. >> Okay. So um >> Oh, for the report? No, I haven't received that information yet. We did talk about that in our meeting on
Thursday. Uh they have um hired a consultant who's familiar with the legacy software. Um and I think that they are working on some of closing some of closing their fiscal year. So that once that's done, I believe they'll be able to turn their attention to some of
my requests. >> So are we a have we been given the appropriate extensions and everything? I emailed Desessie uh today because regarding that and um I'm looking for some guidance from Desi because they
don't give open-ended extensions and I identified our circumstance um to see if they'll give me any guidance in terms of how much time to actually ask for. >> Okay. Excellent. Well, just keep us apprised of that because I y >> are there any kind of fines or penalties or something if we don't and if they
don't grant the extension and then what does that do for us? >> So the thing that Desi the uh deputy commissioner has mentioned uh in meetings not just for Grammy but in other meetings I've been in as well as to us is if it'll get to a point where
they'll withhold chapter 70 funds from the town. I certainly relayed that to the town administrator >> cuz that would be huge, >> right? That is our primary funding source. >> Awesome. That's exciting.
>> Um, anything else? Any other questions? Okay, Liz is not here. Um, so I think that's it. When is our next next meeting is December 2nd.
anything that we want to make sure that we have on the agenda for next time. We should those policies >> we need to have a policy subcommittee and it'd probably be good to have budget and finance again just because we'll have had a preliminary
um ground rule meeting and we'll be talking about negotiations and budget um stuff. So we'll have a budget subcommittee since we didn't have it this time. Um, that's all I can think of at this point to make sure it's on, but I'm sure
there'll be regular stuff that comes along. >> Mhm. I just have a comment on one that would fit in. >> Sure. Go ahead. >> Um, I just wanted to commend all the fall sports teams, >> especially uh the the girls soccer team. One of my bucket list was to go to after
I retired was to, you know, catch some of these games. And I did finally got to see four of their games. I ended up staying till half well going there till halftime last night. >> Oh, were you were there? >> Well, I end well our meeting was cancelled so I was quarter of 6 so I said I'm going to go over there. I was
disappointed with the cost. >> Yeah. >> I won't go into that right now. >> Yeah. Um just so you know that has nothing to do with Graanby. >> No, I didn't imagine. I do imagine. I mean, but when we're when we I'll just mention that it was >> 1150 to go see a soccer game on a high
school. And I think when we're building community, these are really things that should be open to the public. You know, we're trying to build community and this is something to open doors, but that's my digression. But I don't want to take away from their excellent season. That's where I wanted to go with it. And um being able to see them, they had poise,
talent, and um it hurts right now, but good things are to come. Yeah. >> No matter what these no matter what these students do. >> It was a it was quite a ride, that's for sure. Yeah. exciting. >> Um, and then the only other thing is
there, um, uh, just to close the loop, the meeting that Trevor alluded to, there was a, um, joint committee meeting that we were supposed to have with, um, the select board that got cancelled at the last minute due to conflicting schedules. So, um I reached out to Mark
before the meeting and he says it probably won't be until sometime in December at this point because of course um November's only about 12 days left. Um but he said that he'll um have uh Tammy reach out and we'll see if we can
find another time uh to do it. Again, it's not a it's not like anything's going to happen. we're going to snap our fingers and there's going to be, you know, magic. But, um, it's my understanding and I hope I'm not speaking out of turn is that they want
to appoint a committee to investigate um that and that we'll, you know, we'll go forward from there. So, that's what that was about. So, once I hear or once Mayor Jane hears, we'll um we'll figure that out and repost for for that.
Um, I think that's I think that's >> I can't take ranch. I'm Yeah, I'm good. >> Okay. All right. If there's um nothing else, I'll take the motion to adjurnn. I'll >> make a motion to adjurnn. Second. All those in favor? I I have a great night,
everybody. You too.
