>> Thank you. Mr. Chairman, the first item on my agenda, I'd like to uh introduce some of the newest members of our school of our uh administrative team to the school committee. So, I'd like to ask uh Jennifer Mashado to come forward.
Uh Jennifer is our new director of licensed practical nursing. Jen holds a master's degree in nursing and brings over 20 years of experience as a registered nurse, including 15 years at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 2009,
she began teaching in both the Dave and evening practical nursing programs at Greater Old Tech. And by 2015, she also took on the role of admissions coordinator. Now, as director, she brings a deep commitment and passion for educating future nurses and advancing
the quality of nursing education in our community. So, I ask that we all please join me in welcoming Jen to our school community, our administrative team. >> Welcome, welcome. >> Good luck. >> Welcome.
>> You are a welcome addition to >> I'm sure you'll do a good job. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. So, next I'd like to introduce the new manufacturing engineering and technology CTE chairperson, Mr. Robert Myella.
Robber. >> Rob comes to us from Greater Lawrence Technical High School and currently holds a bachelor of science and masterers of science and occupational education from Fitsburg State University and a vocational and occupational degree
from East Coast Aerot Tech. Robert taught automotive technology and most recently held a cooperative education coordinator position at Greater Lawrence Tech. Please join me in welcome Rob to our leadership team in our school community. >> Very much welcome,
>> Rob. Welcome. >> Yeah. And the next item on my agenda, I'd like to inform the committee that once again, Greater Old Tech is uh a recipient of the T-Mobile Friday Night 5G lights uh
5K winner and T-Mobile will be here again at this year's homecoming game to present us with that check during halftime. So, we're thankful for all of the members of our community who sort of tagged us online uh in order for us to
uh receive that 5K again this school year. >> And just to let the committee know, I've been a um subscriber with T-Mobile for over five years now. So, it's they they have a wonderful service. And if anyone ever wants to have a great carrier, choose T-Mobile as yours.
>> You start that. Well, while we're at it, they got a great internet and it's cheap. All right, stop that. >> My son works for >> team. >> Terrific. There you go. >> Team, they came tonight. They better felt really good, but they they will be joining us at homecoming during homecoming.
>> Hopefully, they'll have a pink shirt for me. >> Yes, you remember that. They came very uh well equipped in with swag for us. So, we appreciate that. The next item on my agenda, I'd like to inform the committee that we were once again awarded a WEOA in school youth services
grant uh from Mass Highire Greater Lola Board in the amount of $77,097 to provide 30 students at risk with support in finding employment in the community. >> That that's transpired the last couple
of years, hasn't Cheryl's been doing >> Cher's been working with that. Yeah, beautiful. >> We appreciate that. Next, I would like to inform the committee that CRU Tech has been awarded the career technical uh initiative round 10 grant. Although the original notification letter that is in
your packet noted in the amount of $698,000. We were actually awarded $870,000. >> And this uh this money in partnership with Mass Hire is to provide training to
adult 6 adult participants for electrical, welding, plumbing, carpentry, auto tech, and culinary arts. So, we thank Cheryl. We appreciate our partners with our partnership with Mass Hire and the Commonwealth Corporation, and we look forward to providing these
services to the adults in our community. >> That's amazing. Um, let me just ask, um, is this a one-year grant? >> So, yes, it is. And this is, I think, the second year that we received this grant. >> Wow. Does this help with our community and all of the residents that can have
the benefit of having a vote um program in their lives so they can become work ready? >> We're a school that services not only the students in the day but the community at night with our LPM program with this program with our adult uh continuing education classes. So
hopefully we can continue doing that for the greater community. >> It's almost like we're becoming a night college. Great. >> So, the next item on my agenda is I'd like to invite Miss Mashado uh up again,
the director of practical nursing to join us to provide you with some updates on our LPN uh admissions admissions. So, I in support of my new admin team member
will come and sit down this end in case you have questions. so I can support her in discussing this very important matter. Good. >> So recently the board of nursing put a cap on our admissions. Typically we have
a cohort in our day of 40 and then our evening as 40. So for a total of 80. Um recently in June they put a cap on our admission to cut it in half. So 20 for our day division and 20 for our evening division. Um the cap on our admission
was placed um on us due to the lack of direct patient care for our mental health services as well as our maternal child services. We have recently um attained both uh mental health clinical um opportunities for mental health as
well as maternity. So we have got those contracts now available. Um >> so can I just just clarify? So uh prior to finding these direct care uh patient contracts the the uh education was given
but it was given using simulation. However the board of nursing required that we have some more inpatient direct care to provide mental health and maternity in instead of stimulation. So it was very difficult
finding these placements. We did a uh sorry we did a search for a 25 mile radius and unfortunately because of the schools in the area it was saturated and so we recently got um those affiliations which is wonderful.
Um they want no more than 50% of simulation and unfortunately in the maternal child we were doing 100% simulation and so because of that that's they they gave us the warning for the cap and admission. So, we're still approved by the board of admissions um
in terms of that, but we are put on warming status with full approval and I put into request in talking with Carolyn Walsh who's one of the board members um we recently put in a change of our curriculum. She said she liked that. And moving forward, I'm going to request in
December when I put in another request to hopefully go back up to increase our cohort to what it was before >> because we now do have the direct patient care for mental health and maternity. >> Mr. Chairman,
>> yes. >> Um, was there a warning? Did we know that this possibly could be coming? Um, >> I don't know of that. um during >> so Jen is new to this. >> Congratulations again, Jen. Thank you. Welcome to the heart.
>> She's had to, you know, >> to the fire. >> Yes. >> Help us overcome some uh >> a lot of challenges. So, yes, I think uh the former director was aware of it and as Jen said, they were doing searches in
the area and trying to acquire those contracts, but it was saturated and we could not uh find the contracts. We were lucky that we were able to find one in New Hampshire >> and one of our teachers is certified in New Hampshire to be able to use that and
we were able to work with the Department of Corrections to for the other placement >> for mental health as well as LOL General and Emerson. So, we've secured three different spots in the hopes of going back up to that admission next year. We
will be able to not just have the 20 and 20, but the 40 and 40. So, we'll be able to um you know fulfill that for all. >> We also we also did go before the board this summer >> to and we presented the signed contracts that we had acquired but it was too
late. >> It was too Yeah. too late. >> So, of the 80 students that were accepted >> seems like 40 got turned away. >> So, we did a lottery and whoever was selected out of the random lottery was deferred to next year's. And when did
they find out? >> They found out >> June >> the day that we did the lottery. >> Yeah. >> We we had to act very quickly. The board once the board put us on warning, we had to act within three days uh to have the
lottery inform the individuals that they were deferred and move forward. >> So this happened in June. Yes. >> So the students were informed in June. Yes. Did this happen to any other school in the district that we know of? >> And some student uh some schools
unfortunately were are closing. Yeah. >> Based on the inability to find mental health and especially maternity clinical placement for the direct patient care. >> Are these some of the some of these cuts are these some of the cuts that are going around the whole country?
I don't know about if it's the whole country, but certainly it sounds like within the state of Massachusetts, the the these LPN programs are facing these challenges because they're saturated with RN schools. And so we were very lucky to just now go to New Hampshire
and being able to, you know, secure that Yeah. partnership with St. Joseph, which is great. >> And we have the paperwork that says we we can do the maternity and the mental health and less simulators. So ultimately, as long as we stay keep that
contract going, then next year we're hoping >> that was gonna go before the board in December. We're hoping to hear actually that in December that we can reopen our enrollment to the 80 students. >> Uh and we're, you know, we're hopeful.
We do have the contracts. >> She's we've been working cooperatively with the board of nursing. >> We put in a curriculum change to show that we've added mental health. we've showed that we've now taken that it's now 50% for simulation and maternity and the other 50% so we're not having any
more than that 50% for maternal child um the education coordinator for the board of nursing told me that she actually just sent us an email saying that she liked the report and she doesn't feel that there'll be any further questions which was a really good sign that we've established this relationship and this
dialogue of actually by email having it's it's actually really a nice partnership that I think that we're forming moving forward. Um, so it really does look like moving forward we're going to be able to attain that to go back up to the 40 and 40 is is my hope and and it's looking positive.
>> Model, you seem like you have all your eyes dotted and your tees crossed. I have to say Jen did an incredible job just coming in with that challenge and uh >> and thank you for informing us and I just want to say I'm sorry to the students that got turned away publicly because I know they were probably
looking forward to it and unfortunately uh they seem to be deferred. >> We did get the support of the whole delegation to not not reduce us and even with that support and letters to the board it was not enough. And the ones
selected would these are all full-time positions. >> Yes. And they will be deferred until next year, but they're accepted for next year. >> What if something uh part-time was available? >> We don't. >> It's got to be full-time. >> We don't have anything available right now. The program is full within 20.
>> Okay. >> And Jill, I have to say, has been wonderful in supporting me to attain this and constantly answering my emails and helping write letters. Um, so thank you for that. Great work. Welcome aboard. Thank you very much.
>> The next item on my agenda is the cooperative education agreement that's in your packet. If you could take a moment moment to look at that and I can talk about some of the changes to that agreement. The overall change is that uh the
cooperative student application form and the employer agreement were really combined into one form and that was the major change. Uh the rest are very small uh changes. On page three, uh students
are are to report to school on days they are not scheduled to work. That is clearly stated. And on page six, uh, it just says that the changes that were made to this agreement are also reflected in the student handbook.
>> And the cooperative education agreement is terminated when a student graduates. >> Those are the major changes to the cooperative education agreement. U, with that said, I'm going to need your approval.
>> Motion to approve. >> Second. Mr. Gia. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Sh. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hogan. >> Yes. >> Mr. Lame. >> Yes. >> Mr. Mor.
>> Yes. I just want to say before we move forward that uh I know we don't have a cooperative education report in your packet but I am happy to report that 22% of the class of 2026 will start school
on cooperative education. >> Awesome. >> Great news. The next item on the agenda, I'd like to invite uh Tracy Incarnasio, uh our director of school counseling to review the changes to our medication
administration policy. And just to note that these changes have also been updated in um our student handbook. >> Hello. So mine is a very quick and simple update to the med administration
plan. Um it literally it's just an update to the law. So, we were required obviously to change our policy to be in compliance. It simply states that when students um require medication and they leave the state on a field trip that they will carry and administer their own
medications um in compliance with how they've been prescribed. So, they'll use them appropriately, they'll carry them appropriately, and they'll administer them themselves. Um, it was also updated on our field trip form which is as a a
direct result of the administr the med administration policy and as Miss Davis said it's also in the student handbook. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> I'd like to make a comment. >> Yes, sir. On page five,
uh, under title E, uh, it it says, "The Greater Old Technical High School Committee authorizes that the responsibility for the administration of medication may be delegated to the following categories
of unlicensed school personnel according to criteria." So, >> yep, that means not the school nurse. So that if I took a a group of students, say to a college uh for a college visit and I was to have their medication, I'm
not a licensed medical provider and so I would need to be listed as someone who was approved to carry and administer. Yes. And I I would do training with the nurses. The nurses give trainings on CPR, on EpiPen administration. They go over the medications with anybody.
That's part of our field trip policy that any um the roster of students is to be provided to the nurses and they go through the medication um and what it looks like, what the dose, they they kind of go through it with whoever is taking the students off campus.
>> So, it's saying that we properly authorize you to do that. >> So, what what it's saying, Paul, is that's what's in the policy and you're approving the policy. When you approve the policy, you are approving that. >> Okay. All right. >> I just don't want it to come back on me
to say I approve this medication to be >> No, no, no, no, no. You're approving that you're proving just what you read that that individuals other than the nurse >> under the nurse's supervision, right,
are able to go on a field trip and and administer medication to student, >> right? >> Okay. All right. >> Okay. You're dismissed. >> Thanks. >> Motion to approve. Second. >> Thanks
>> review. >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. >> Mr. Bahu. >> Yes. >> Mr. Wasn't sleeping. >> Mr. Hogan. >> Yes. >> Mr. Vain. >> Yes. >> Mr. Martin. >> Yes. >> So, next uh I'd like to ask uh Mrs.
Martinez to join us to uh present changes to the acceptable use polic. which is also included. No, I'm sorry. I take that back. This is for Yes. the student acceptable use policy which is also included in the student.
>> Hello. How are you today? >> Welcome. >> Thank you very much. Hope everybody's had had a good summer. So, uh we changed the student acceptable use policy. Um and it's it's very similar um uh to the
the current uh uh acceptable use policy also uh for staff. So some of the changes that were um were done in in key summary would be um the purpose of the AUP. Uh so the the actual
um department of education as well as the governor's office uh actually designated and uh new actually um new new points and and new AUP policy. So we took that and and incorporated it into
our our our current policy. So just want to go over um the purpose. The AUP ensures students use Greater Low Tech digital resources responsibly, ethically and legally to support learning, protect sensitive data, and maintain a safe
school environment. And that technology use is a privilege and not a right. So we we revamped some of the technology guidelines again using um the documentation that we received from the state of Massachusetts.
So uh also uh sort of added new uh social media expectations as well as academic integrity uh device and network use uh throughout the district security and passwords. uh just making
sure those uh passwords are being kept private, secure and um also consequences for any violations and then the parent uh guardian responsibilities of uh the AUP and uh key laws that are referenced
such as FURPA uh the FOIA and uh SIPA. So, and then the student agreement it it's uh located um uh for for the for the students to sign as well as the parents. So, >> and that sign off is in the back of the handbook of
>> the student handbook. Yes. >> Uh in reference to students passwords um do the students um make their own password or they assigned a password? Is it something? >> Yes, they they create their their own passwords and they're required to change them periodically. So we give them a
password and then they they change that password. >> They change it and then it's updated annually or few times after a certain few times >> school year. >> Gotcha. >> And it's sort of like the au the double authentication. They get some type of message to their phone >> goes through our um you know making sure
that it's going through our network and that's protected with our firewalls and so forth. >> Great. Thank you for the update. >> So would we also need approval? Motion to approve. >> Second. >> Motion to approve.
>> Second. >> Mr. G. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bahu. >> Yes. >> Mr. Sheen. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hogan. >> Yes. >> Mr. Lame. >> Yes. >> Mr. Mo. >> Yes.
>> So, at this time, I'm going to ask Lisa to remain. I'm going to go to that end of the table again so we can speak to you and give you an update. our admissions policy and I'd also like to introduce attorney Jennifer Mcgru McGru
who is with us from Murphy Hessie Tian Leane and here tonight to support Lisa and I and answer any of your questions in regards to any legalities to the new updates to admissions move on down. Okay.
So on on on May 20th um 2025, the the board of elementary and secondary education voted to change both the processes by which uh middle school students become aware of uh career technical education CTE and admissions processes at CTE schools um and
vocational schools as well as vocational programs. And so so beginning with the 2000. >> Sure. So sure. So let me put that up first. You want to put the slide up first? >> We can do that.
Okay. So from the beginning with the 2025 2026 admission cycle um for students entering uh in the fall of 2026 where the more applicants and available seats students shall be accepted for admission by a lottery conducted by our
school. Um all lotteryies for career tech education um or programs seats shall be conducted in a public place and with reasonable public notice given at least one week prior to the lottery. Such lotteryies may be conducted electronically provided that the methods must be shared publicly and the process
must be fair and the selection must be random. So there there are two choices with this new regulation. We're either allowed to implement a blind lottery or or a weighted lottery. But there's a piece that's uh for student awareness and
that's a qualifier um that actually can be used both in the blind lottery as well as in awaited lottery. Okay. So up here on the slide we actually have what the criteria is u to have for student
awareness. So, if we choose to use the student awareness as a qualifier, the CTE school must hold at least two in-person information sessions and at least two virtual information sessions. And uh then the actual student applicants in order to be entered into
the either the blind lottery or the weighted lottery. Um they must demonstrate awareness by one of the following. either attending an open house or information session in person or virtual by participating in a CTE
school program or tour or completing a video module created by um CTE or approved by DESIE. So that is the the student responsibility. So >> so so I guess if they attend an open
house someone will be signing that they attended the open house. that >> we would have to collect in collect that data. >> Yes. Is that something that we're capable of doing at the open house? Sounds like a big conversation. >> We will have to be we will have we will
have to do that if we choose to use student awareness as a qualifier. >> Okay. So, we're going to go more on this before. >> So, student awareness could be a qualifier for either the lottery or the blind lottery. It's something that we do not have to use if we don't choose to use it.
>> Okay. >> As a qualifier. >> Okay. What I mean as qualifier is if we decide to use student awareness and a student does not demonstrate one of the following, they do not even get put into the lottery. >> Sure. >> Okay.
>> Does anybody have any questions on that? Okay. All right. See again. So see if we can there. Okay. So if we choose to use
criteria and we do not meet um Desi's comparison index standards um that there is not disproportionality for uh special programs um then uh the criteria shall be approved annually by the school board of trustees or the school committee in this
case. The superintendent of our school, that would be uh Jill, um would submit an annual attestation to the department that the admissions policy of the uh complies with federal and state law including laws addressing discrimination
on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or disability. So they will be uh looking at that and the the do the the department would be able to take uh what they deem as
necessary action to address where the emissions policy and practices if we choose to use any of the criteria um for the for the uh CTE if they do not uh comply with uh applicable state and federal laws and regulations and order
compliance actions including revisions to uh or replacement of existing emissions policies, meaning they can um put interventions in place that may include a requirement that that we do not use um any criteria at all. So um so
>> can you simplify that? >> Yeah, so I can simplify that. We we would be basically be um using um the same criteria that we currently have in place um for um for meeting uh that standard. So that would continue.
>> Okay. So I'm going to break it down a little bit more. So to simplify the the piece on uh >> on criteria. So if we choose to use criteria and I think we should explain each individual criteria. You don't have
to use them all. You could use one, you can use two, you could use three criteria. But if we choose to use criteria, we I will have to sign an attestationship form like Lisa said. And if our data reflects that the criteria
has an imp negative impact on our data, then we could be forced to be a full blind lottery. >> Forced by whom? >> Forced by the department of elementary and secondary education because these >> because this is where this is all coming from.
>> This is through the governor's office. >> Yes. Yes. Exactly. It's it's a regulation. So the criteria if we were going to use selected criteria you could use all three or one or none >> and that would be a blind lottery. So
the first uh criteria is attendance. So any any student applicant with fewer than 27 unexcused full day absences 270 days prior to the application date after grade seven would get an extra an
extra ticket into the library. >> That's shameful. Mhm. >> So, >> okay, >> the student discipline piece, students who have not been suspended or exposed pursuant to, >> excuse me, 37H or 37H and a half, 270
days prior to application date after grade seven would also be given an additional ticket to the lottery. And the last is student interest and it's not evaluated. They just have to submit an interview, an
audio, a video submission, a personal essay, a letter of recommendation from a non-family member or other measure approved by the department of elementary and secondary education. So these are the three these are the three uh criteria that we have a choice of using
one or all one two or all. Any questions about the weighted criteria? Sure. >> Yes. So of the 270 days when we're looking at um students after grade seven. So when students are accepted currently at greater low tech, we
include their grade seven core second uh third third and fourth quarters. >> Does that mean we will this lottery says we will not be including the third and fourth quarters of the seventh grade? >> So it depends uh when the when we open the uh the application window. Okay. So
um it's >> we open the application window January 1. Okay. Um, we're required to have the O application window open by November one. >> Oh, November. >> That's the requirement. >> Use part of their grade seven. >> Yes, we'll be using um uh all of mostly
probably all of grade seven and partial of eight. So, currently in our admissions policy, we use all of grade seven and term one and two of uh grade eight. >> And of the 27 excused absences, that's a combination of grade seven and grade eight.
>> And it's unexcused. unexcused. >> Yes, that's a combination. >> Seven unexcused combination >> for the 270 days prior. >> We're doing it on November one. That's about 270 days >> from the beginning. >> So, a little bit less,
>> January. So, it starts essentially the second half of their seventh grade >> goes into it would probably be all of their seventh grade and some of their uh eighth grade. >> And it's 27 between all of those. >> Yes. unexcused. >> Unexused.
>> That doesn't count any of the excused absences, just the unexcused. >> I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but does that mean >> these consequences if they're not what are the consequences if these aren't followed or we don't accept them?
>> Basically, maybe I'll turn that over to the attorney. Thank you. >> So, um if they're not accepted, then you can lose your funding and lose all support provided by Desi. Um because with the new mandate, it's either weighted lottery or blind lottery and
it's one or the other. Um and if you decide not to do it, Desi can then uh say that you're not in compliance. They can pull funding, they can pull support. Um they can do a number of things that make it so that you're no longer able to operate.
>> So basically, as a governing board, you still have the decision making to choose either being a weighted lottery or a blind lottery. >> And >> what is your suggestion >> by you? >> So, so the blind lottery um just so we
can go over what the blind lottery consists of is um every student would have to be promoted to the grade they're applying for. Um so that's the that that's the piece and they would complete and submit an application and then it would just be a public random drawing.
It can be electronic um drawing as long as it's public and uh transparent process that we announce at least one weeks prior. Uh >> so let me just add Lisa to that. So that would be the blind lottery. However, if we chose to use awareness as a
qualifier, they would need to demonstrate one one of those awareness uh suggestions in order to even be placed into the law >> which was on the first page of the slide. >> Yeah. Into the blind law. Could we go back to that page just for a second?
>> So, it was the extension of the bottom four. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Any one of those four. Come to an open house, get something signed off that says you were here. >> Go into um video module, >> attend a tour. >> Sure. and then sign off, put their email
in, their address that they have done their criteria to be >> that's a qualified >> and we would be required to do at least two inperson information sessions as well as two >> the following on top. Yes, we're required for this qualifier
>> to to be a qualifier. Both parties have responsibilities. As a school district, we have the responsibility of two in-person information sessions and two virtual information sessions. And the student applicant has the responsibility of uh following through at one of those
listed below. >> Sure. So, we have open houses. We allow all the schools to come in. They visit. That means they can demonstrate. And if one school system chooses not to send their students here for a in-person
information session or anything like that, then it would be up to the student to get here or go into the virtual. Just I just want to clarify that with this new admissions update, there's more responsibility put on the middle school uh sending school communities and the
middle schools that they will have to submit a plan to the uh to Desi in regards of how they're going to ensure that information regarding uh career technical education programs are provided to their students. So they have
to that's their piece of the responsibility. So if they choose not to do anything then they are non-compliant. Correct. But now they have to go ahead and be a part of the active activity of what it is. >> Absolutely. If we choose to use a qualifier
>> and again a qualifier can be used or an indicator as they say can be used for either a blind lottery or a weighted lottery. Can you go back to the weighted lottery screen? >> Sure. So, so I I guess
Mr. Moran asked what I am recommending. So, I would say uh using what is allowable right now because I believe that the criteria of attendance, discipline, and interest is critical here uh at Greater Old Technical High
School to be able to maintain the high expectations and standards that we currently have and safely provide an education uh to a career technical education to our students. So at this time I I think I would recommend using
all that is allowable in order to continue to uh maintain the quality career technical education that we do have because we are preparing students for competitive employment or college
when they leave and I believe that attendance is critical. You have to be here to learn. uh technical education is very difficult to replicate uh and tutor at home if a student is in here. Student discipline again we have in order to
create a safe environment here I think uh student discipline is critical we have machinery and tools that are used that I believe students need to be able to use safely and last of course interest is important. We want students
here that are interested in uh obtaining a vocational education because of the limited capacity of seating. I think all three are are necessary. >> That's my >> um I think that everybody in this
building has done the past going forward. They do an amazing job to make Greater Law Tech the shining star on the hill. You know, you have kids in seventh and eighth grade that either want to be grow up and be a plumber, a carpenter, whatever,
chef, um, work hard to get good grades, almost perfect attendance, and now the state's going to tell us that you can allow a kid to have 27 absences, um, and they're going to get an equal shot at a kid that's had five or fewer
absences. It makes no sense to me. No. >> And I don't want to come off angry or heated, but the governor and Desi They don't know what they're talking about. Like this is a shame. This is an absolute shame that the governor and Desi are putting you ladies and
everybody in this building into a corner. >> Every superintendent in the Commonwealth. >> Absolutely. >> In the Commonwealth. >> There's no way that I'm going to vote for this when it comes up. I'm not supporting this because, you know, I came here in 1994 when it was a lottery. They called it the joke. You know that
we're going to go back to that. And that's an absolute shame. It's an absolute shame of what everybody put in the blood, sweat, and tears they put into this building. As you said, you know, to greater low tech, it's, you know, it's a shining star on the hill. I can't say that enough. I mean, I came in
here not knowing what I was doing. Mr. Warren was my culinary arts teacher. I had a successful career in culinary arts for over 20 years, and I attribute that to him, to everybody in here. And you're gonna give a kid the equal shot that wants nothing to do with anything that a
kid wants to be his lifelong goal is to be in the trade. And I just think that's so wrong. It's absolutely wrong. >> Great law firm. We're going to make you work. Well, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what the majority of the board feels, but I think that we should
tell the governor thanks, but no thanks. She has absolutely positively no idea what she's talking about, and neither does Desi. You have members on the board of Desi that have never sat in a classroom before. They're just suits. >> So, I think uh Committeeman Sheen, I think that we had over a two
years to communicate this and through significant advocacy through MAVA and through parents and and industry representatives. We we tried to you know we tried to
state our our case and we desi superseded. So I I think now I think now we need to focus on you know how we want to move forward. I think losing our funding is something
that I do not want. I think we need to put our move forward and continue to do the great things that we do here and and and begin this process as a weighted lottery using what is allowable that reflects
sort of what we are current doing we are doing in our using in our current policy but reflects some of the criteria that we find valuable for career technical education like attendance like discipline, like interest. But the
real answer here is really out of our hands is that vocational ed every student should have a choice for vocational education, but they're just not enough seats. So hopefully uh and I know that the governor has provided some
uh real uh significant amounts of money for pathway programs and for new vocational schools. The real answer is building our programs, expanding our seats, but that's that's not up to us right now. Right now, our choice is
either we go with a weighted lottery and a blind lottery. And I'm not asking you to make any decisions at this moment. We just wanted to present this to you. We will be uh developing a revised admissions policy which will we will
need to present at the next school committee meeting because it must be submitted to Desi by by October 1st. So hopefully the board uh will support uh myself and and Lisa and this whole
community in moving forward and continuing to do the great job that we do based on the conditions of awaited lottery and move forward. >> Well, I'm going to propose that we go in executive session before the next meeting.
That's what I'm going to do. We're between a rock and a hard place just like you are. And I'm not happy at what's transpired from the governor. There's a lot of other places doing the same thing. But your hand our hands are
tied behind our back. You either do or you don't. >> There's not there's no there's no leeway. Basically, >> at this point, Committeeman Lame, I I think you're you're saying it right. I I mean it's unfortunate that we're in the >> I don't want to put you on the spot either because I know it's a delicate
balance for you. >> Lisa, myself and many of the CTE superintendents across the state over the last year have have advocated and really worked hard to try to tell me continue to do what we're doing
and to make uh make the people and the governor aware that the issue is seats. The issue is that we need more seats for for our current programs. >> So, uh, with that said, you know, I think putting our energy into looking at
a weighted lottery, a blind lottery, and trying to move for forward, holding up the expectations that we hold currently with our attendance policies here at school. I mean, it the proof is in the data. We do have a 95% attendance rate
and I'm confident that we can continue holding high expectations >> and we're also the most diverse school in the Commonwealth. >> Yes, we are a very diverse school. >> I think we're the most diverse. >> I I can't I'm I'm not going to speak to that because I don't have the data here
in front of me, but I think we're based on my knowledge. >> I think we're a diverse school. I agree. I would say we're a diverse school, but I think we need to to try to focus on what's in front of us. >> I understand it's a it's a very delicate balance, but I mean
>> it upsets it upsets me to no end on this subject matter, >> right? It does, but it would upset me more if we were to lose funding or lose >> of course >> some support. >> But it's either or there's no there's there's no leeway here. >> This is what the the governor is putting
on every everybody. It's not my intention for this, you know, for uh us to lose funding at all. Um just for cl a point of clarification. So Desi wants us to change our admissions policy. Is this a state law
or is this something that Desi voted on and said, "Here, this is a new policy we want you to adopt." >> No, it's a regulation. >> So it's it's pretty much written in stone in the sense that um it's not mere suggestion.
I can say that >> it's coming right from the governor's office. >> One thing that so my background is I'm a former teacher. I taught 8th and 9th grade in Boston public schools for about five years before I went to law school. Um based on my work with Jill, I know
that there's been a very very strong community that's been built and expectations that's been built at the school. Um I think one thing about kids is that they are they can be leaders but they do what they see is being done around them.
So for instance for a kid who might not have been actively going to school if they get into the environment where the expectation is to show up to school and they're around people who have that expectation of them then more often than
not they are able to exceed that expectation. And I've seen that nine times out of ten happening. If you have a kid who wants to be on the basketball team and the coach says, "Listen, you can't miss more than x days of school and they want to be on the team." They will find a way to make it to school
every day. Um, so I think that the the threshold for the number of days is a bit high. Um, but you have to realize that's unexcused absences there. you might still get students who have 27 excused absences um because they were
able to get doctor's notes or a variety of different things turned in. Um but I think as Jill said, being able to use the weighted lottery so that you have some controls over um kind of the focus that you want to look at when you are
looking um for the admissions. Um, I think that that's uh something that you have in your power and again it's something that you get to revamp and vote on every year. So if you come to this time next year and you say, "Hey, the I guess two years from now because
it wouldn't start till 2026." Um, and you say, "Hey, this weighted lottery isn't exactly what we wanted." Um, or we don't think that X criteria is as pressing of a need as possible as as we think it is. Then you can remove it. or
you say, "Hey, we want to go to the blind lottery and see how that works." You're able to do that. And so, um, you do have some, I say, flexibility within the balance of what's provided, um, for you to be able to to choose. >> Thank you for that. I think that was
important point, the flexibility. >> This Yeah, this this is a this is a very important matter. I think involves should involve the full board at a at a meeting whether it's regular or
>> Mr. Lame I couldn't agree with you more and may I suggest I'd be happy to second a motion of the committee as the whole prior to the next meeting to thoroughly thrash this out. >> Well, it should be executive session. I I don't have a problem making a motion.
>> What is it to thoroughly what? I I can't hear that. hash this out >> just yeah discuss this >> just just to >> to air out >> session >> we need a we need a conversation I mean >> executive session is perfectly fine >> yes >> and I knew I knew this was somewhat
coming uh I didn't want to put the super I didn't want to do anything on my own >> I know a lot of people down downtown so to speak >> so so I think just to be clear Mr. that like I said myself, Lisa and every
sup superintendent in the state over the last year and a half. Yeah, >> we have we have advocated uh I know the local state representatives here in LOL have been >> uh very very supportive. They have I
have reached out to them. They have written letters. They have sent letters to the board and they were very supportive. It's unfortunate that this is this is where we are and like I said, I think we just need to move forward.
Look at what's in front of us and uh and >> well, we want to move forward and be in unison as best as we can, but this board and many of us have been here a long time. We have we have achieved what we've achieved to today and now we have to dismantle some things and change
things and we don't have any options. Again, our hands are tied behind our backs and I'm not a happy camper about it. >> I understand. I understand. >> I'm not a happy camper about it. So, at the very least, I would be calling for or putting in a motion that we have an
executive session talk on this some point soon before you need the necessary vote. >> That's fine. I think I think as a committee as a whole we need to go ahead and have that discussion >> so that we can so that we can choose what's best for not only ourselves for
our school for our >> we want everyone on the same page like we have been right >> I agree >> and we need everything out on the table and people have to speak their minds and I think that's the time and place to do it. >> Sure. And we need to support the superintendent and we need to support
vocational education as well as support our funding so that we can go ahead and give the students the best offer. >> I agree they can have. >> Listen listen the state has grossly misinterpreted this in the sense that
there's been a waiting list in Voke schools across the state for years as many as 10. Currently, the waiting list is over 5,000 students across the state. It's a problem. They don't have enough seats. They don't know what to do.
>> Ultimately, even if we go to a weighted lottery or a blind lottery or any lottery, there's still going to be a waiting list of 5,000 students. It's a shift. It is what it is. It's really you're just shifting the problem and not really solving problem. It's unfortunate that that's where we are.
>> Yeah. So the so the state does have the programs. Um um >> we've been facing this problem for years here. >> Sure they have. Sure we have. And it's very upsetting for us. And it's very upsetting for us because we would love to have every >> we could put 500 more classrooms. Two years from now we'll need another
>> says we have we don't have enough square footage. So the state says you can't even build on if you want to build on. Anyway, the state has grossly dropped the ball. Unfortunately, this is what they're telling us to do. And sure, we can have an executive disc session to
discuss this matter and try to find the best solution for all of us. >> That's all I would do. >> Also, Mr. Bahu, if we don't do what they are asking us to do. >> Well, they're not asking you. They're telling you. >> Well, they're telling us to do, we'll lose funding.
>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> I think >> the alternative is un most unfortunate. We're between a rock and a hard place. We got to put our minds and head >> hands and heads together and and uh come up with some type of plan that we can all live with and work with.
>> So based on presentation or >> we're going to discuss this at the next school committee meeting >> and have an executive session prior to that >> meeting. We would, Lisa and I, at the next school committee meeting would be presenting our recommendation for an
admissions policy. >> After maybe executive after your executive session, we would present and you could decide on if you're going to support us and vote >> yes or no. >> And you're both welcome to join our executive session. And of course, it would be great if we had Miss McGrath um
in attendance as well. Mcgru, excuse me. Thank you for coming tonight. Like, we really appreciate it. And you know, I you can see that >> it's a delicate balance. We understand >> everybody at the table's passionate about this and I just think, you know, it's an unfortunate situation that these ladies and this entire building and this
board is forced into like shame on. >> I think it's the most unfortunate thing and I've been on 10 over 10 years >> that that we have to deal with. But I want to deal with I want to deal with it with every everyone with the knowledge of what's going on and you know have we
want to still do what's best for the school and for you people >> the school and the community. >> That's that's the most important thing >> our partners as well. >> So let's schedule executive session for one hour before the school committee meeting. Is that okay with you Mr. Lame? We're going to have one hour to go ahead and discuss it and then we'll go into
our regular school committee meeting and listen to superintendent um >> and come to a final decision. >> What's the date of the next meeting, you know? >> Sure. >> September >> the third Thursday of the month >> of September.
>> Did you want to get the date? >> Yeah, we can get the date. >> Somebody go ahead. Who's somebody speaking? >> Someone speaking. I'm sorry. >> That's right. Do we even September >> policy in place yet? Has has the admission as Lisa and yourself come up
with the team to have a policy in place for us to vote on a weighted lottery or anything like that? >> Sorry. >> So, uh, say that again, Lee. I'm sorry. I'm getting closer. I was down at the other end. Can you repeat that for me? >> Sorry.
Do I I know the I know Lisa is working hard on this and I know you are too. We don't have anything in place right now to vote on. >> No, no. Tonight was not a vote. Tonight was just to present the updates and to begin the conversation
prior to the development of any policy which would basically include making a choice between a blind lottery and a weighted lottery. >> And you'll be coming up with a policy, recommended policy next. Just wanted to make sure cuz I mean I understand you're giving us an update but we don't have
anything in concrete that you guys want us to vote on yet. >> No, no, no. We I I wouldn't do that. I thought this would be important to have a public discussion >> uh before we and we have an idea of >> you have an idea of what we were
thinking uh and what we feel would be important. sort of uh mirrors what we what's in our current admissions policy while still allowing us to reflect some of the criteria that we feel is
important for students to have that attend a career technical uh school like attendance again as I said we're preparing students for competitive employment so you have to be here to learn attendance is critical what we do
in our technical programs cannot be done at home. Students have to be here and also for our employers. Employers want students that want to come to work. So, attendance is critical as well as is as behavior. We in many many of our
programs, we have very very dangerous equipment and and machines. So students have to be responsible to to operate and use that equipment just like as if they were to go go out to the workplace. Their employers want someone that's
going to be able to do the job and get the job done and be able to use the tools safely and appropriately. So So some of those uh weighted criteria are important to us uh important to us. And by using some of
those weighted criteria, I feel like we can still keep up some of >> some of the expectations and standards that we currently hold. Does that make sense, Mr. >> No, no. I absolutely agree with you. They need to be in school. L has that
problem. We don't. Um, let me ask the attorney one question. Can we pass you with an injuncture? Say we don't agree with them. I understand the funding piece. I kind of laugh at the funding piece. I I don't foresee that withholding funding from majority minority school
because we just beat them up saying you don't like I don't see that happening but that's fine. Can we hit them with an injunction? Say we don't want to do a wait for a blind lottery and we our procedure which obviously is working. Um
it's it's a majority minority school. Um and we we know that we have the data proving that. Could we hit them with an injunction? Uh I mean I think that that's something that we could think of further down the line because uh this policy wouldn't go in place until 2026.
So we do have a a year to be able to continue to advocate for a change to the regulations um or more flexibility in the regulations. I think the best way moving forward is to have some policy in place
that is within the bounds of the regulations and then continuing to push for the change. Um just so that you have that airtight backup plan there so that that's not something else that they can kind of poke at you for. But you have
everything in place that you need um while also pushing for the changes to be made to the policy. Did you hear that, Mr. >> I appreciate it. >> Okay, >> thank you. >> Yes, >> Mr. Morren. Um, I'm not sure that we need a motion.
>> Go ahead. Go ahead, Mr. Hogan. >> Um, I I agree with uh well, Curtis Enley. Um, I would ask that at our next meeting that there is a poster that I saw a week or two ago in the uh first
floor meeting area that uh goes over last year's percentile of attendance. It speaks volumes for the work being done by the faculty and the staff at the school. And there's no way that you're going to
continue with those statistics if you go to this wide open lottery. >> We know it >> because employers want attendance. They want people producing and working. Allowing the percentile of uh absences
through grade school only encourages nonparticipation either in school work or future employment. The numbers on that board on an average is like 95% attendance monthly.
>> So, so I think Mr. Hogan, I think you're making I think it's a great point that you're making. Uh but as Yeah, I think it's a great point that you're making. However, uh I am at a place that don't want to lose funding.
I think what uh attorney Mcgru said that uh we we solidify something and then work towards continuing to advocate for change so that we we don't lose funding. And I think at the same time we we
continue as a school community to hold those high expectations and uh support students to be able to achieve the attendance that we are requiring. I mean I think that's what's happening now. We have some great supports. We have an
attendance monitor. We have a credit recovery program and we have school counselors that support students. So we have many many supports in place along with a strict attendance policy that allows students to to adhere to the
policy. Another thing is is that these students coming we also have something that they have not been exposed to before. We have 23 technical programs that are that offer handson learning experiences
that that excite students and that uh maybe uh maybe give them a different perspective about teaching and learning and that that sort of drive them to want to be here because of that opportunity.
So uh as I as I am disappointed >> demand for those services is far exceeds the supply you can provide. >> Yeah don't both sides of the school we know that that's a given. I think that
the issue is is seats and it's unfortunate those that there is not enough seats and you know as I said before the lottery just shifts around who's in the seats and who's not in the seats. Uh but I think it's up to us as a
school community to continue to to build that school community that is welcoming, acceptive, supportive, and where students are achieving and and meeting with success. So I guess maybe I'm
trying to I'm trying to be positive. >> Ultimately ultimately there's a motion on the floor by Mr. to go into executive session at least one hour uh prior to our next meeting. If you'd like to make it longer than that, you're welcome to.
Um but the um I will be happy to go ahead and second that motion. Let's go ahead and take a vote. Mr. Mo uh Mr. Chairman. >> Yes. Sure. >> September 18th, I believe. >> So, can I just clarify with the with the attorney? >> Can we go into executive session because
I'm not sure we can because this is a public topic. We can discuss it as a school committee. >> We're welcome because because ultimately we're going to come into the school committee meeting and then have an open conversation about it. But we just trying to air out any issues we may have
subcommittee that can discuss it and then bring it to the school committee. >> Does it fall within the guidelines of going into executive session? >> Very good policy session or does it have to session? >> In public session I think you can have
uh the subcommittee who can then present it to the larger board. >> I I I mean I >> Yes. So I think that we should uh you know just to be on the level uh move this to a let's have a policy subcommittee before
>> meeting >> the school committee meeting and obviously as everybody knows in the rules and regulations that you know um everybody's welcome to join uh but you know the members of the uh subcommittee are the ones that discuss uh what's on the uh subcommittee agenda
>> and and we can have this on a meeting prior on a date prior school committee meeting on any. >> It doesn't have to be the 18th. >> It needs to be posted. >> It needs to be posted in public. >> That's fine. >> Yeah. I say we do it just before the
meeting and an hour before the meeting. >> That would be my suggestion. >> Okay. Policy subcommittee meeting. >> Who's on the policy subcommittee? >> I think I'm on the policy. I'm not sure. Sure. Let's find out.
>> Mr. Chairman, don't you think that this is important enough to have a subcommittee of the whole to discuss? >> You can attend. >> That's what we're trying to come up with. >> It doesn't matter who's on it. We can figure that out after. It's just >> we have it right here.
>> Paul, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. >> There you go. >> And everybody's welcome to attend. >> Yeah. We'll all be we'll all be notified that there's a policy subcommittee meeting. >> Correct. >> Yeah. No pro. >> The problem I have is as usual, more than likely someone from the media will be here.
>> It's going to be >> there's someone from the media that's welcome. >> Huh? >> Why are you >> I don't why >> am I >> I don't Who cares the going to say what you got to say and that's it. >> Oh, I I >> don't care what I >> trust me. I'm not worried about the news media.
>> I mean, we all know how I feel about >> what they put in and you can't correct. I've >> been around newspapers long enough. the coverage. >> Curtis, five people read the law. Who cares? >> Did it. >> Okay. So, policy subcommittee meeting.
>> The rest of it red too. >> I mean, I wouldn't even put it in the canary's freaking cage. >> Okay, Mr. Min. So, we're going to have a policy subcommittee meeting um and we'll schedule that. >> Okay. >> In the next couple of weeks. >> Sure. For sure. Yes. >> So, that it's before the next meeting?
>> Absolutely. >> It's got to be before that date, right? >> Yes. >> Will that work for everybody? It works for me. >> We'll make it work. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, let's go to the next item on the agenda >> if we could, Mr. Chairman. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Attorney McGru.
>> I just wanted to say hi to the attorney. >> Sorry if we raised our voice a little. >> Oh, listen. I work with eighth and nth graders, so nothing in this world phases me. >> There you go. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> I wanted to say hi.
Lisa, could I speak to you, >> Paul? Mr. Chairman, we're still in the meeting. >> Okay, I know. >> Thank you. So lastly, the next the last item my I my agenda is uh changes to the student
handbook. And I'd like to invite uh Mr. Hos here up to review some of the changes to the 2020 202526 student.
Thank you, Mr. H. Um, a lot of the adjustments to the handbook this year were primarily housekeeping. Um, making some changes to dates from the 2425 school year up to the 2526 school year. Um, there were some adjustments that were previously discussed um by Miss
Martinez, Miss Anronasio related to the acceptable use policy as well as the uh medication administration policy. Um, some other items that were updated um again primarily housekeeping. We made revisions to the John and Abigail Adams
scholarship language, the Copic uh certificate of mastery language, and that's responsive to the Department of Education's revised guidance. Um we also included in there um one of our benchmark assessments in the assessment section, which is the Renaissance Star Reading and Math, which we've been using
for the last several years for our incoming student um placement testing. and we've rolled that into grades 9 through 12 so that we're able to kind of have a continuous record of how students are growing um both in their literacy skills as well as their math achievement. Um but I'm happy to take
any questions related to handbook changes. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> Second. >> Mr. G. >> Yes. >> Mr. B. >> Yes. >> Mr. Richard Mr. >> Yes.
>> Mr. Hogan. Yes, >> Mr. Lame. >> Yes, >> Mr. Min. >> Yes, >> thank you very much, sir. >> While Mr. H is up here, I just like to thank him. Uh this week, uh we had our uh new teacher orientation, which uh Mr.
Hos is responsible for planning and implementing and everything went well with our new teachers. We also had uh our uh freshman orientation. So, thank you to Mrs. Anonasio for a great two
days of freshman orientation. And uh I'd like to say I'd like to look forward to a another great school year for the 25 26 year uh beginning on Monday when our teachers return. And
thank you for all you do, Miss Superintendent, as well as that wonderful staff that you have that works in unison with you. >> Thank you. And I do have some one more thing to announce which came about this week. Uh it was it
just got released from being embargoed. I'm happy to report that we are going to be able to launch our new veterary science program. So which is excellent. So that so all of our incoming class uh freshman class
will go through that exploratory and that will be a choice uh a new career technical uh program choice for uh incoming freshmen this school year. So, with that said, I just want to thank a couple of people because uh this was a
very, very big project. And when you all get a chance, we're going to have a ribbon cutting sometime uh in the fall, maybe in the next couple of weeks. But I just like to thank uh some of the members of our school community who were
instrumental in making this happen. So Valerie Bronco, our allied health and communications, CTE chairperson, Mr. Hos, director of curriculum and instruction, Mr. Gia, director of plant services, and his entire maintenance
team, Mr. Morash, Brad Taylor, Mike Riley, and Mike Lindseay Jr., Lisa Martinez, our director of technology enrollment and information, members of our construction cluster, uh, carpentry instructors, Mr. Mark Lame, our CTE
construction chair, carpentry instructors Pat Kouliard and Bruce Brown and their students, plumbing instructor Jared Flood and his students, electrical instructors Eric Weed and Eric St. Chel and their students. P&D instructor Mike Donnu and his students and Macy
instructor Bill Piper and his students. their collaboration and hard work from this from program design to planning to the facilities development all in a very short amount of time uh was instrumental in getting this new innovative
innovative program approved. So I can't say enough to thank them all and I'm excited for our students to have this opportunity. So thank you all and with that said again look forward to another great school year.
Thank you all for your support. >> Not a problem. >> Report of the business manager. >> All right. The first item on my agenda tonight is just a single line item transfer from the science department. Uh upon the beginning of the school year,
they reviewed their texts and media uh in the department and determined that they were in good shape and would like to use the money for supplies as they took over a couple new classrooms in some shuffling around of building space this summer and had uh need for additional supplies to outfit those
rooms. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> Second. Yeah. >> Second, >> Mr. Gia. >> Yes. >> Mr. Yes, >> Mr. Sheen. >> Yes, >> Mr. Hogan.
>> Mr. Hogan. >> Mr. Lame. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Mr. Martin. >> Yes. >> All right. And the second item on my agenda is uh a look to have a motion to move $561,125
in excess chapter 71 transportation reimbursement received last year into the transportation reimbursement revolving account. It was established in 2021. Uh this helped to offset the assessment to our member communities um in the next budget cycle for next year.
Um, in particularly where we're going into a negotiation year or a rebid year for our contract, I think having the excess funding uh to offset some of that increase that's likely to come from a new contract uh to the member community should be uh well received and and a
prudent use of the funding. >> But you have the current balance of that. >> Uh we had 770,000 and some change in there last school year um in excess reimbursement, but that's being used this year, so it'll be back to zero. Um and then this will make the balance to
the 561125 which then we'll use in the next school year following. Uh so this fund you can't really build a balance. It has to be used in the year following the move. And so >> um it's money in money out year to year. >> I understand. Thank you. >> Motion to approve.
>> Second. >> Mr. Gia. >> Yes. >> Mr. B. >> Yes. >> Mr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hogan. >> Yes. >> Mr. Yes. >> Yes. >> Thank you. That's all I have this evening. >> Thank you, sir.
>> Thank you. >> Uh, old business. No outstanding items from previous blah blah blah. New business. Any new business? Uh, committee person motions. Any
committee motions? No. >> Motion to adjurnn, Mr. >> Yes, sir. Thank you. >> Second, >> Mr. Good. Yes, >> Mr. B. >> Yes, >> Mr. Sheen. >> Yes, >> Mr. Hogan. >> Yes,
>> Mr. L. >> Yes, >> Mr. Warren. >> Thanks everyone.
