I'd like to call this meeting of the Naring Hanset Regional School District School Committee to order. Please rise for the pledge. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As a reminder, this meeting is being livereamed and recorded um and you can find it on YouTube. Getting started with minutes. I would
entertain a motion to approve the meeting minutes of November 20th, 2025 as written. >> So moved. >> Motion by Sean. >> Second by another. Any questions or comments about those minutes? Seeing none. All in favor?
>> Opposed? Abstained. And I say yes. So that is unanimous. And moving on, I would accept a motion to accept the bills and payroll warrants as presented. >> So moved. >> Motion by Sean. Second, second by
Heather. Any questions or comments about those bills of payroll? >> Seeing none. All in favor? >> I opposed. And I say yes. So that is unanimous.
And now we will hand it off to our students. >> At the elementary school, December has been a joyful and busy month filled with meaningful celebration with strong community connections. The grade four winter concert highlighted the theme
that music is a universal language showcasing showcasing songs from around the world with hard work, confidence, and collaboration of the students. The kindergarten through grade three holiday plays brought smiles to families and community members as they shared their learning and creativity on stage.
Trimester 1 report cards went home last week and 96% of families attended parent teacher conferences. Spirit week add to the excitement throughout the building strengthening school spirit and creating a fun inclusive atmosphere for students and staff. They are incredibly grateful for the generosity of the community
which allowed them to support 43 students with Christmas gifts and Dear Creek Farms and Bread along with other partners made sure that students and families felt supported throughout the holiday season. At the middle school, spirit week is ongoing with a decent amount of school participating and they
have uh about a 93.5% attendance rate for the first half of term too, I'm pretty sure. And then the winter concert last Thursday was a big success. I was there selling or there was a huge crowd going in there. In the high school, there was a spirit week this week as
well and there was a lot of participation. And then next Tuesday there's going to be a half day seal day which is going to be two blocks of fun events for all the high school students. National Honor Society attended RESTs across America in
which it did on a Friday and they all had a great time and they learned more about why we placed the wreaths. This morning I attended another advisory council meeting and M. Donnelly and Mr. Nickerson from the high school also attended. They spoke about how students have good relationships with teachers at
our school and they helped my group make the decision to most likely make our project about mental health days in schools. School gets out for the calendar year on December 23rd and resumes on January 26th. All sports are currently underway and all the teams are doing pretty good. And
I have to put in a plug. Narroancit Naragansit ornaments are $10 a piece and they're to support my class. >> Excellent. Thank you so much, Kelly. Any questions for Kelly? >> Kelly, where can folks purchase those
ornaments? >> High school office. I think online. >> Perfect. >> Well, thank you so much. We appreciate you making the time tonight and we'll look forward to seeing you next time. >> Have a good night. >> You too.
We do not have members of the public here tonight and NDA um is not with us. Um but I would like to propose we do have a couple guests here this evening. Um if you look down under new business item three. Um there's a high school
2027 proposed trip to Italy grades 9 through 12. And if nobody objects, I'd like to move that in the agenda um so that we can cover that now so that we we can uh make sure that we're helping our our teachers get in and out.
>> Thank you. >> Is everyone good with that? >> Excellent. Okay. Um so we will open up the floor. Um and if you could just start by introducing yourselves really quickly, that would be great. >> Sure. I'm Mary Rard. I'm an eighth grade civics teacher at the high school.
>> And I'm Sha Bell. I'm a high school history teacher. >> And so we were proposing um an EF tours trip to Italy over the 2027 April vacation for students. Uh we went with
EF tours. We did a lot of research on different companies. Um I know our district work with EF tours in the past. Um, so we felt comfortable going with them and the policies that they have post pandemic also felt nice like their
I believe it was called peace of mind program. So it was something that they had that stood out. We also built in travel insurance to all of the trips as like a non-negotiable into the price in case who knows
anything happened. So that is reflected in the price >> and there's there's fundraising opportunities for students as well. So like we we're we're hoping with so much leadup till I mean 2027 feels like it's 10 years away. I don't know about you guys. It feels so far off, right? So like giving the students as much time as
possible. um cuts like the monthly payment cost if you break it down to like 250 which we felt was especially considering our district like hopefully manageable for parents and students that would be interested in going. Um so that's kind of why we're leading it so
so far in advance to just hopefully open up the possibilities for for more students to be able to go. Um and it also we also feel like this trip lines up well with the curriculum that we have in the high school history department. Um, so for like our AP level classes, we
offer AP world history and AP European history. Um, both of which cover, you know, from from things like the, you know, the Papal States and the Vatican to the Renaissance, um, which is all reflected in our trip itinerary. And then kind of at like the college prep
level, we have global studies one and global studies 2, um, which covers global studies one would do like an ancient Roman. So we'd see like things like the Colosseum when we go to Rome um would line up with that curriculum and then global studies 2 covers more like the modern Roman Empire which is also
obviously reflected in in Italy. So we felt like this trip especially lined up well with the curriculum that we have here at the school um to try to give the kids like an opportunity to hey we just talked about the coliseum and Mr. Iman's class or Mr. Bell's class or Mr's class and there it is right in front of me.
So, like I think it's so important to be able to have history be tangible and have these places be accessible to students and hopefully expand their horizons um not just for their time when they're here in Arrogance, but when they go on to be members of the community and adults. Um I think travel is something
that's like really priceless and and core core thing of kind of being able to feel like you can access the world. >> And I was a student when I was in high school. I'm on this exact same ex tour and I still think about it to this day.
I was like looking at pictures the other day like going through the itinerary. So from a student perspective, it was a very great trip. Also >> any questions about the trip? >> How how many seats? >> Yeah, I said >> like how many are available? >> Yeah.
>> Oh, I don't think there's a cap. >> Understood. I as far as I'm aware I don't think there's a cap. The minimum is six. >> Understood. So there is a minimum but there's a minimum >> but there's no max. Correct. >> As Yes. >> So is the objective to get these
students/families to try to sign on board for this two years in advance? >> Yes. >> Understood. >> Yes. We would if approved that there would be like an introductory meeting early January, but they the close the
signups would not close until >> I think it was either September or October >> of next year. So have a lengthy amount of time to sign up. Are are there requirements to be able to attend a trip? Like
>> just like uh the same standards as other extracurricular activities, good academic standing, not on social probation. >> Yes. Go ahead. >> Um so is so are chaperones responsible for their um the cost for them to attend
or is the cost for them to attend built into what the students are paying? like faculty like staff chat rooms would be built in. It's six students per one adult chap room that's covered in the cost. >> Is there an expectation that you're
going to have to get additional shadow rooms to sign up beyond staff? >> We're trying to limit it to staff as of right now. That's that's the plan. Um and that is our that's our ultimate. >> Yeah. Yeah. going to have to use
paid by the district. The first international trip that we run since >> that's co. >> Mhm. >> That's all. >> So, how many teachers like how many AP history and how many grades would be
available to go to this? >> Well, it would be it would be open 9 through 12 um for for students. So we in terms of faculty chaperones beyond Mary and I, we haven't really thought much about it because it's it all is dictated on the numbers that we get, right? So if
we get 12, it would be two shaper rooms. If we get 18, it would be three and so on and so forth. So um in terms of other people that are involved, right, it's just marrying that. Um and it happens over April vacation. So if more additional teachers do have to go, it wouldn't take away from their time in
the classroom. maybe a day I think of travel on the Friday. So if it would if it there is interruption it's incredibly minimal. >> Yeah. >> You can talk a little bit about is is there a tour director from DA tour? >> Yes. Yes. Yeah. So there's Yeah. >> Yeah. We have a full-time tour director
that's with us at all times that meets us at the airport when we arrive in Italy and stays with us until we depart back home. Any other questions? >> This is a lot of like work to plan a trip like this. So, really appreciate the amount of energy and passion that
went into this. Um, so um I we'll get a motion table. I would entertain a motion to approve the proposed trip to Italy for 2027 as presented. So moved. >> Motion by Sean. >> Second to Danielle. Any remaining
questions or comments, concerns? >> Yes, >> I just I want to just touch base on something that he said. I think traveling was important to call for these individuals more. So, I'm just as Jennifer said, you know, thank you for your time and support of them because that is a lot.
>> Yeah. >> Well, we're both excited. >> Yeah. Like at the at the prospect of doing it. So, >> yeah. And I've run the DC trip for the past few years, so I feel like I have a good grasp on the fundraising, the planning of the trips as well. Yeah, I'm just excited >> and appreciate the opportunity obviously
too. So, thank you. So, >> thank you. We're looking forward to hearing more and I'm sure students will be excited to have an opportunity like this available to them. >> All in favor? >> Opposed? Abstained. And I say yes. So,
that's unanimous. So, go forth and good luck. >> Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much. >> Of course. And you're welcome to stay, but I'm going to have a good >> plane of
very good luck. >> Just to orient everybody in the agenda, we're now going back to um section E, budget updates. Um and the bills will cover the MSBA project update.
>> Okay. In terms of the MSBA um projects, um there we are now at the stage where um we have dates secured for
the community bowl. Templeton will be on the 6th of January and Philipsson's vote will be on the 15th of January. Um, you know, it's the Christmas break is kind of wedged, holiday break, pardon
me, is kind of wedged before that. So, we're going to we're going to put some information out. We we're trying to also create an opportunity for I guess one more public input session. I don't know if it's going to be
virtual or otherwise. Um but we come back on the you know we come back on that Monday which is the uh you know which is the >> yeah the sixth and next day. So we're trying to we're trying to balance that with what you know what what generally
happens during vacation which is people are on vacation. Um but more to come on that over the next day or two or three. >> Um and then 26 updated
we just got word that they don't anticipate 99 cuts the revenue on our missile. Great. That is good news. speak. >> We'll roll right into your business manager's report then.
>> I think now Mary to report. We're just working on spending grants down and trying to preserve the general fund as much as possible. Uh film instruction update anything. All right. Service items. Susan, I know you sent me
an email, so I'll let you run through this. Sure. So, um, our athletic director has reached out to us. They have around 45 sets of old, middle school, and high school uniforms that
are 80 plus years old. Um, that they of all various sizes. Um, the blue jerseys, the white jerseys, the pants. They're looking to surplus those and then see if they can be sold um with all proceeds
for those going towards the guardian cap helmets. And there's a link on the agenda that tells you a little bit about what the guardian cap is. Um any of this money that's made from the sale of these these surplus uniforms, mostly assumingly to um prior players.
Um but any of that money will go towards getting these new garden apps for the notes. >> I would enter a motion to accept the list of items as surplus roughly 45 sets of old eight plus years middle school
and high school football uniforms of various sizes to be sold and all proceeds to go towards the purchase of guardian caps as described. Motion by Sean second by Danielle. Any questions or comments?
Seeing none, all in favor? Opposed? Abstained. And I say yes. So that is just a note that he is working on getting hopes for replacement be forms which we are going to purchase out
of rural a forms for the team in fall. >> Uh municipal representatives. So, I just wanted to give everybody a quick update because there was some um some information posted on Facebook. There was conversations happening and so I
just wanted to get everyone here on the same page. Um so essentially um you might recall from earlier this year that we became aware of a a law related to union negotiations with a regional school district that
requires um the attendance of a municipal representative from a single municip municipal representative from at least from one of the member towns. Um so that was something that we didn't previously know about. We checked with MASC, they didn't know about it and so
we realized, okay, we need to come into compliance with this and so we started to pursue that. So that was like a previous meeting where we cover that existence. We know that the UFCW meeting is coming up and so uh municipal
representative needs to be selected. Um there was there's been a lot of confusion around the process. Um there isn't a ton of information available. Um the there it seems even though there's a law and the law is written a specific
way. As we talked with other regional school districts, different different school districts handled this a little bit differently. Um the guidance we got from Desi was different from the guidance we got from MASS. Regardless, um I took a really close
look at the the letter of the law and we found a path forward that I think is going to clear up some of the um concerns or misunderstandings that were occurring that ensures that everything is going to be in compliance with open meeting law. So everybody understands
that a little bit. It's it's it this is a strange one because the law specifically states in the language of the law that it has to comply with open meeting law but there's no quorum of any body.
The attendees for this meeting are uh the superintendent, the chair or representative from each town, and the um chief administrative officer or
equivalent title of each town. That's it. And then those people vote on a single representative. We only have two towns. If there is a tie, Desessie is the tiebreaker. So, we bring it to Desessie and they decide.
Um, so this is a weird one. It is, it was made abundantly clear to me that this is not a school committee meeting. School committee really can't be present unless we're present as a member of the public. That this cannot be posted with school committee meetings, which is
difficult because we don't post other public meetings. So like I said, we've we've done our events to read through to understand the letter of the law. So we are going to the the what you have attached here is the posting. That posting is going to go live on our website. It's going to go live on our
Facebook. We have shared that posting with both our member towns so that they have the option to post as well, however they see fit. Um, but it is this is new territory that everybody is navigating and so I appreciate patience
and understanding and I think we found a path forward that both both respects the letter of the law and also adapts our usual processes to to try to
do that. Um, so that's how we're moving forward. Um, I wanted, you know, I I know I sent a a quick email to the school committee, but I want I did want to make sure that we discussed it in open session as well. So, please do feel comfortable and free to ask any questions. Um, but that's how we're
moving forward. The municipal representative, as a reminder, will then have a voting role when it comes to the adoption of the contract. So they're not sitting at the negotiation table but they would join us in for example
executive session um executive session uh not meetings but the at the end of the meeting for executive session so that they could hear the updates as to what's happening with the negotiation process just like a school committee member would and then
they have an equal vote to school committee. So they would be the ninth sitting voter in the adoption or not of that contract. So the meeting is on January 6. Dr. C will
be leading it and after that we will either determine whether um I know Philipsson has uh put forward Adam Montaine and Templeton has put forward James. Oh gosh, I was so bad with names.
>> James Ryan, thank you. But for James Ryan, so they've each nominated someone and then they will come together and vote in this open session and I'm not sure if they will vote on a single person to move forward or if we will end up sending to
Desessie, but that will be determined as of January 6. So, lots of voting happening on January 6 this night to the summer. So, we will see how that moves forward. Um, but thank you for everybody's patience as we as we figured out how to
navigate this very different requirement. Um, so, so this posting it says Nancy Regional School District. Is that who posted
this? And then it's needed. Did it need to be posted because um below where it says meeting agenda number six is because there's going to be a vote. It needed to be posted because the law
that related to municip municipal representative for um >> for regional school districts says specifically that the meeting in which a municipal representative is selected
must follow open meeting law. that is confusing in the sense it is directly contradictory to open meeting law guidance which specifically talks about forums of of B of committee bodies. So,
but I am going with following the letter of the law to reduce confusion and ensure you know everybody feels that all the appropriate safeguards are present. The public is welcome to attend. Um and so this is how this is how we are moving
forward in this mode. >> Yes. >> Just a moment of clarity. So it's Dr. C. >> Yes. >> Tim Adam and the select voice from each town. No, it is not the full select boards. It is >> select chairs. I'm sorry.
>> Of the select in each town. >> So then other than their representative >> are they or they representative. So then other than Dr. C. So that means these other four individuals are they picking amongst those four individuals. So they could not >> they already
>> they have already yeah they've already voted within their separate select board meetings to nominate someone to serve as this mun municipal representative. >> It is not necessarily for that nominee to appear at this meeting necessarily. There's nothing in the law that says
that. It just says that this is the meeting where that vote happens and that the people who participate in that vote are the chairs of the select board or their representative and the chief administrative officer or equivalent title. >> It just so happens that both number 10's
their selection >> to be represent to be the representative is their >> administrative. >> Understood. Thank you Dr. C. >> Yeah. So this has been an interesting but we are getting we're getting there
and we are making sure that everyone is clear and the communication is clear and we're moving forward. >> So thank you for doing that. >> Do they choose one or they choose there is one person selection. >> So there's four votes. There's two and
two and each town chose somebody and now they're going to >> Jesse's probably >> that's that's where I was going. work it out. >> I will unless they unless they work it out. Desine gets involved as tiebreaker from the regional districts that we've received information from. Typically,
they don't end up with a nominee from each town. Typically, there's like one person who happens to have enough availability to take on an additional responsibility across the towns. And so, really, it's a formality for them to get together and
vote on this one person. And I know that like what choose it was the one that we found and had done this most recently and they basically had one person out of the five >> that was available to do this and so they just all I don't know if it was I I don't know if
it was open meeting or not. It was like 2020 when we could find the information from but they voted for that one person to move forward as a municipal representative. So it is yes it is.
So um but please do if you have questions or you you know hear questions I'm more than happy to do my best to answer them >> just just for people you know >> is this going to have public in book or
do you know >> there is no >> there's no publishing very good >> from the agendas that we were able to generate or refine there's not it is it is just pretty straightforward.
>> Well, that's how I read the agenda here, too. But I just think maybe Jennifer Matt and Chair saw something a little different or whatever be the case. And I just don't >> I did not >> show up to that and >> I struggled to find their opinion. I
struggled to find any similar setup to what we were doing, but I felt like in our situation with our towns, the best thing to do was to get as close to the letter of the law as possible. So, we did
so Dr. C, superintendent report. Well, you know, we don't have a lot um because our student rep such a great job. Um but some of the great things is that we have our pees concerts uh scheduled for tomorrow.
Um and it's always a great time. We have them scheduled at 9:30 and 11. And you know, we've we've broken it down a little bit differently than done in the past. So, it's I believe it's uh kindergarten and second grade. Okay,
there's K and two >> K and two >> one and three and so that'll be great mix. Um we've already sent out our maps and everything to on our Facebook page and it's gone out through ES newsletter
um to say you know just to kind of tell people how to get into the building now that our our issue has been um fixed in our entryway. right now they can actually come in through the main doors which is also great. And then on the 23rd which will be a half day for uh for
students and staff. Um our senior lunchon which I believe we're up to our eighth what year this be our eighth year maybe or seventh. I don't know you know honestly. Yeah it's been quite a few. So we have over
90 folks already signed up um to come and enjoy a delicious uh meal. um from our our wonderful staff. So, those are really the two big the two big things. And we've had a great outpouring of
oh gosh, holiday joy. Um we've there must be I don't know how many spirit days we've had in the last two weeks, but there's been a lot um between both, you know, the elementary, middle, and high school. We've had a door um you
know covering contests and I believe the winners were selected or they will be selected in the process. I believe yes the judges are um looking over their lists very carefully and sometimes twice. Anyone who used my face um in
their door decoration has been disqualified. And so I want I want them to know that officially. Um I've already made that very clear >> because they didn't pay. Um, no, they just, you know, there's a there's a there's a beat. So,
>> no, they've been great. People have been bringing great spirits. We we are have had the touch of the ick come through like most schools um school districts and we've we've we've handled that and we the storm um very well. So, all things all things good truth. So, we're
you know we're ready we're ready for the break. We're ready for the break. Most most definitely. Okay. So, we have one carryover item from our last full committee meeting. Um, mostly because at that time I forgotten to include the
vote which is, you know, somewhat essential. I am all said and dead. Not me personally. Right. Nothing is loading loading. All right. Hold on. Here we go. We got
there. Um so we wanted to revisit the superintendent assistant superintendent goals for 2027. Um and we even reviewed those they and and
discussed them last time and so we did want to give pe folks some space to determine if they had any questions that they wanted to ask. So what I would say is why don't we get a motion on the table and then we can run through questions. Everyone's okay with topic. Okay. I
would entertain a motion to approve the superintendent and assistant superintendent's goals for 2025 to 2027 as written. So motion by Sean. Second by Danielle. Okay. So the floor is open for any questions or comments um as those
documents were reviewed. I mean, they were they were immediate follow-ups to a lot of the feedback that we gave in the review cycle as well as immediate follow-ups to the goals from the previous two years. So, they were
build upon those um or reflecting areas where we still had work to do or new areas of opportunity that were revealed in the work that we did for the last season. So, I was very comfortable with them. Um, but I do want to, you know, hear from the rest of the committee if
other folks have additional questions. >> Well, I wasn't here. It's um I'm just looking forward. >> You just mentioned prior. I have nothing to compare. So, I'm just going to go with um let's hope we reach our goals by
June 2027. Good commentary. Seeing no questions, all in favor? >> Opposed? Stained and I say yes. So those polls are final.
>> Yes. Do you mind if I um ask a question of the superintendent report um a graph that I just um blowed up? Um was that okay? >> I'll go to go back to an agenda item. Yes, that's fine.
>> Um I noticed that from November to December that we have three less students um from the Templeton district uh Templeton residents. Um did they leave the school or the school of choice
or >> um we don't we that would be something I would have to dig into whether they just this report just really shows if they've unenrolled. >> Okay. um or enroll. >> Yeah, but they would be Temple approved.
So, it was three Templeton resident students that left. >> The the school choice is represented in the line that says district choice. >> Okay. >> But they don't have to give that information when they unroll. Correct. I mean, that could just be as simple as they moved.
>> Correct. I'll help you. One moved. >> Okay. >> Just curious as the numbers change. >> Yeah. The you'll start to see more assessment of enrollment numbers as we get into the budget season and that will be on like a more ballistic level. Um so
the so typically with these month-to-month changes, the month-to-month fluctuations are full of normal. We go up, we go down, we you know um we keep an eye for like trends because there was one year was like 10 students every month and we're like whoa. So you know but you know three
students five students here there fluctuating that's pretty normal um and then the function reflects people moving you know at times we've seen trends towards homeschooling um that is with the pandemic mostly so but yeah three students is totally
within the normal range of graduation. Thank you. Any other questions on the student general? Nothing came up within the last 48 hours. Um, so I will open it up for school committee comments.
I have a comment. Um, I know that this week probably felt super long with all the spirit dies and the fun going on, but I really appreciate all the time and effort that spent on those types of things. Um, I think Dr. sees right on the money with an amount of joy that's
happening in these buildings. And um it's really nice to just have some light, you know, just some light happy things going on. Um cuz there's a lot of dark things that are happening outside of the school. So it's nice to have the kids be able to participate in good
things as well. >> Absolutely. I was just telling Dr. C before we got that my kids are asking to go to school next week. I was like, "Oh, you know, it's a half day. Maybe, you know, we have a family. We have a family event that day." And they were like,
"No, we absolutely must go to school, ma." I was like, "Okay." So, school school, it's all they love coming to school. They love being there with their teacher and their and their classmates. And I don't remember being as good of a as as a student.
>> So, yeah. the person who never even asked me. >> Many, many thanks to the teachers and the staff that make all of that possible because we know that it does take extra energy, but they show up and it's fantastic. I'm just jealous you don't
get to show up on the last day. >> Um, also I there's just been a real push for inclusivity this week too because my my little guys coming home telling me about Diwali and Quanza and um Hanukkah and so I was listening about all
different types of holiday that are celebrated in winter. That's awesome. And I like the um extracurricular activities after school um because um they're doing art or other things. And I
know I can speak to my granddaughter who has participated in the art club after school and um she wanted art supplies for her birthday. So she's u really enjoying that. >> Oh, awesome. >> Awesome. It's great to hear. When I saw
a new crochet club, I was like, very exciting. I can't crochet at all, but very exciting. >> So, subcommittee reports. So, finance and facilities did not meet this month. Um, both because we were struggling to
um we we knew we were going to struggle with attendance um from folks from other towns, but also because our topics for that were MSBA. I feel like we pretty well driven that one into the ground. So, um hopefully we'll we'll get positive results from
voting in January. Um and we'll be on to really planning for budget. Um with that, although it's not financing facilities, we did also have a chair's meeting um in the month of December. Um we most of that was focused on MSBA
um and related topics. But another big point of conversation was how do we get started talking about um budget for the next fiscal year? Um what's coming up for the towns? And so we've set expectations. We will have some initial
conversation points um on January 12th at our next chair's meeting um so that we can start bringing some transparency and having the discussion. So the just to be trans just to be clear with everyone the school's budget will not be
ready by January 12th. We don't have the final numbers from the state yet. But by that point there are usually some things that we know like we usually know better what's happening with insurance. We usually know better you know what's happening with unions and the negotiated
increases. And so we can bring those things to the table and talk about baseline here are some of the things that we know are going to impact our budget. Um so and I know that uh Dr. C also reached out to the town of Templeton to try to get some information on what's happening with the
Baldwinville school apartments and what we can expect because those will what we're hearing is that those will be ready about midyear in the next school year and so that would hit us right in the middle of the year which would impact next year's budget. So trying to get what information
>> district declarations. Um so we discussed all the wonderful things that central office staff is doing for um all three schools, all three buildings. Um cookies and hot chocolate were shared and lots of uh costumes and fun. Um we
talked about uh Winenden um our school district Templeton um meeting with Camel Karnney on November 18th and looking for creative ways to uh you create our own insurance form um to reduce the cost to
uh increase our buying power. that would be a very long ongoing process um and it would need to come to the school committee with specifics when they were available but it is good to know that those conversations are happening um
let's see communication uh the Dr. Ski created that roof video which I personally thought was wonderfully done. Um I am blown away that people climbed up on the roof to make this. Um but I actually >> Susotion
>> but I think it was super helpful. >> She ruined your boots. Oh no. >> The district will get you out of you. Of
course I will. >> Those types of communication are just really they're appreciated. Um I think that we live in a a a world where social media is sort of a place we go now to get our news and that's a really quick way to to to get information out. Um we
talked about um so this was obviously prior to to knowing hearing back from Philips with a date for the vote for the roof. Um, so we were waiting to see if hoping to get that into the same week as uh Templeton's vote. Um, and we also talked
about um develop developing a survey that would go out to families to help um create a portrait of a warrior which um is what Narro gets it and what the community wants for characteristics and attributes of graduates.
um policy. We we are leaving a cell phone policy on our agenda just in case ordates as we move forward into the school year, but there was nothing to add uh to our conversation in this last meeting. Um we continue to look at KB policy KB, which is the relations with
parents to organizations. Um we did some minor edits to it which we we um wanted to honor like the original language of the policy but also include the updates. Um we also talked a little bit about the
recent Healey Driscoll graduation framework that has been introduced and talked about although it is very far from any sort of coming to fruition. um just what end of course assessments are and Molly helped us understand what the three buckets were for what the
requirements could be. >> There's a lot of combination. >> Uh labor management committee, we did not have a meeting with LMC. Um and we are still waiting on UFCW negotiations to kick off. I'm assuming we still are waiting to hear. Yeah,

able to be here tonight. Um so, PTO, I heard you mentioned something on the way in. >> There's a Christmas decorated party here and dance at Regional Excel event tomorrow. Yep. Friday, tomorrow night at 5:30. Excellent. Um, student advisory council would be
Peter. He was unable to be here tonight. Um, and so any other legislative updates that we need to review? >> That's shaking. All right. >> So, we do have January in January. Just as a reminder to everyone, you would
look closely at your upcoming meetings. Um, my computer is not loading. There we go. Um, we do have two meetings in January because this is when things kick up a little bit with budgets. And so we try to make sure that we have one meeting where we can cover regular business and the other meeting where we
can focus more on the budget topics is roughly how it breaks out over those those few months. Um, just because there's so many topics that come up and this makes sure that we're not all sitting here for five. No one wants that. Um, and so our next meeting will
be January 15th at 5:30 p.m. Um, and we do not need executive session this evening. Um, I didn't receive a note. Um, Templeton has changed the way they list executive session. Um, so I'll be taking a closer look at that um to make sure that we're compliance with any
updates to how um, executive sessions are being listed. Um and thank you to uh Adam Montine who reached out to let me know that. Um and then otherwise I would entertain a motion to adjourn. So by Geek by Sean, second by Danielle. All
in favor. >> Thank you everyone and happy holiday.
