Good evening everyone and thank you for joining us for the first school committee meeting of 2026 and we welcome our new member Carrie I was going to say Bavin I'm sorry Carrie Mullen >> thank you >> all right um we will begin with the um
well actually we'll begin with the pledge of allegiance even though it's not on here >> I pledge allegiance 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. Oh, say can you see by the dawn early light what so proudly
we held at the twilight last gleaming who brought stripes and bright stars through the peril
last fight. Or the ramparts we watch were so gallently streaming. And the rockets
red glare. The bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star spangled then yet wave or the land of the free and the home
of the brave. Mrs. Fagan will lead us in invocation and a moment of silence. Lord, as we begin this session, let us acknowledge your goodness and mercy and ask your blessings on all our deliberations. We thank you for this opportunity to be of service to our community and to the
young people entrusted to our care. And we have two people that we want to remember tonight. Robert T. Bob Dwey died suddenly on January 1st, 2026 at the age of 78. He grew up in Taton and graduated from Coil High School in 1965
where he was an outstanding athlete winning a state championship for his track team. It also garnered him a full track scholarship to Holy Cross. He taught seventh grade social studies for over 25 years at Martin School. He lived in Middleboro for over 30 years and upon
retiring found a passion for farming. His gardens were wid widely known as he had a profound appreciation for nature and a love for all mothers nature's nature's creatures. Bob gave back to society taking in people trying to get back on their feet being generous with
his time and money and never wanting any re recognition. He leaves his wife of 25 years, two daughters, and many friends who will remember and I'm sorry who will remember him for his intelligence, his sense of humor and devotion to those he
loved. He will be deeply missed. And our next person is we recently, so I have this written for her um Gail Provost. We also received notice of the recent passing of Gail Provost. She served as a school psychologist from 1986 to 2003 at
the Bonum School and worked part-time there from 2003 to 2007. She is fondly remembered by Superintendent Cabraw and his wife as as Gail mented Christina early in her career. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.
Moment of silence, please. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mrs. Fagan. Roll call. >> Yes, please. Thank you. >> Mrs. Mullen, >> present. Okay. Mrs. Mrs. Shabs, >> present. >> Mr. Powski, >> present.
>> Mrs. Fens, present. >> Miss Santos, >> present. >> Mr. Vieira, >> present. >> Mr. Laura, >> present. >> Uh, Dr. Dlo, >> present. and Mayor O'Connell >> present. Thank you, Mrs. Fagan. Okay, so we begin this evening with the election
of the chairperson and uh everyone received a packet with all of kind of the guidelines and rules on it. I will just uh go over this very briefly. Uh nominations will be accepted by me um following the rules of order. Once the nominations are exhausted, I will rule
that the nominations be closed. Um I will then place each nominee before the members for a vote um in the order in which they were nominated. Um and the new chair shall be elected by a
majority vote of those present and voting. The new chair must receive five votes. And in the event that um the chair or secretary should vacate their position for any reason, a new election will be held um you know at one at a point
during the term. All right. So I will open up the floor for nominations for chair chairperson. Mrs. Fagen >> like to um nominate Dr. Dlo for chairman of the school committee. >> Thank you. >> Second the motion. >> All right. So motion and second for Dr.
Dlo. Are there any other nominations this evening? >> Uh, yes. I'd like to nominate Mrs. Sh for chair. >> Okay. >> Second. >> Okay. So, there's a a nomination and a second for Mrs. Shave. Are there any other nominations for chair this
evening? Okay. Seeing none, I will close the floor for nominations for chair and we will proceed with Yes. >> Is there on discussion >> on uh Sure. >> Okay. Uh thank you Madame Mayor. Um I think uh
it's it's really important this uh this body has worked very well together and I think um we have a we have a good problem in front of us. Two very dedicated hardworking exceptional people that wish to be the chair. So I think in the interest of transparency and democracy, I'd like like both of them to
have an opportunity to address the group, kind of tell us why they wish to be the chair, what they think we'll do, so that we can make the best informed decision, you know, and I think the good news is no matter how it turns out, we're going to be great. We're going to have a great chairperson. We'll work great together for the next two years
just like we have the last two. So thank you. >> Okay. Uh thank you, Mr. Palowski. Uh Dr. Dlo, would you like to proceed? >> Absolutely. Thank you, mayor. Uh, thank you, colleagues. Thank you, Secretary Fagan, for your nomination. And the second by Mr. Vieiraa. Uh, I have the good fortune of working at an
institution of higher education. As we all know, Bridgewater State, and a fellow colleague also works there. And every day that I go into that Bdon Hall building, I am um greeted by a uh quote not to be ministered onto, but to minister by Horus Man. And I think we
all know that Horus man is also known as the founder of American public education. Uh the quote really is centered on leaders should serve others rather than expect to be served and embodying humility and selflessness. And
that's how I lead my life and my uh public service not only here at the school committee but at the Taton municipal lighting plant as a commissioner and every organization that I belong to. uh the last four years as chairperson uh I think colleagues that are sitting at the table have at least
had two years of my leadership ability. Uh it it's uh something that I take great pride in. It's something that uh I don't do alone and I recognize that and I believe that in the first time in history uh when I have my bi-weekly meetings with the superintendent, I've
invited the secretary to join me at those meetings. So there's full transparency so that uh there's no he said, she said. So I I think that's very important uh the transparency part and there's a a list of achievements and uh you know I just just to go over a few
and and this again was not just me and I I think a lot of the folks that sat in these seats before us had a lot to do with this and we just picked up and led the charge. So with student success and achievement, our graduation rate is above state average. Our absenteeism has
dropped. Our early college opportunities launched in chapter 74 vocational programs, which we're all very proud of, especially in early education and care and construction craft laborer and uh other uh different things like prek expansion that we all know about that we
work very hard for. Uh facilities and fiscal management I think is a key as a duty of a school committee uh person. Uh fiscal responsibility is key and uh above and beyond all the facility improvements including uh the auditorium
and the and the scoreboards and the fields millions and millions of dollars that we have not put the burden on the taxpayers that we have really raised ourselves through revolving funds which is very very key and important. Uh we continue to maintain these facilities.
uh folks that come from different parts of Massachusetts and other states are always uh really really awed at how our facilities are so wellkept and almost like brand spanking new. So we should be very proud of that as school committee members. Uh community engagement and
pride is very important. Uh we don't have to mention our state champions in softball and baseball and wrestling and decathlon and javelin and everything else. uh our DECA students, our Air Force JOTC uh I mean it goes on and on and on. We know what those achievements
are. Uh governance and stability is very very important. Uh we have a superintendent that's very involved uh not only in the superintendent association but in other different um facets that he's invited to be at because he's a leader. He's a leader with pride and with experience that
other school districts really look up to. And I had the pleasure at one of the MASC meetings to speak on behalf of TA public schools with the superintendent. And I thought we'd probably have about five people in the audience. I think we had about 25 or 30 that day uh because they wanted to know what taunt in secret
was. And I was very proud to represent the school committee at that event. And something near and dear to my heart and I think all of us is school safety and security. Uh we worked with the fire police and first responders. Uh we have added vestibules and continue to add
vestibules. We just voted on that uh the other the other week. Uh we have implemented 3D imaging without throughout our school buildings to aid our police and fire response. And we participate in police training. Right. We've gone to the old Cohen on the third floor and participated in I think I
flipped Mrs. Fagan over a couple times defending myself because she was charging at me. Wasn't that correct, Mrs. Fagan? No laughs, huh? Okay. So anyway, so these are some of the accomplishments that we made together. And I I say that because if we were all at the inaugural on
Monday night, and I think the mayor hit the nail on the head where she doesn't do it alone. It's a city, okay? It's a team that gets things done. And I'm very proud to be a citizen of Taton because we are at the forefront of Massachusetts, not just southeastern Massachusetts anymore. Massachusetts, we
have the public rail. People are moving to Taunt. Our growth is happening in industrial park and businesses and our streets are paved and our schools are great and people not only come to this city not just because of opportunities because the school system is very important to them too. So that's team
effort and I've mentioned this more than once. The kids that come before us are not just school committee kids. They are city council kids. They're zoning board kids, planning board kids. They're everybody's kids. And as a team, as a city, we make this school district the best it can be. And we're very proud of
doing that. again together. >> Couple of themes and elements. Couple of themes and elements. Vision and purpose. Defining a clear and compelling future of the why behind the work. And that was our theme this past year. The why behind the work. And I think we can all embrace
that. Empathy and connection, showing understanding, creating safety, and focusing on the needs of the team. Accountability, integrity, taking responsibility for successes and failures. Very important to admit our failures. When something doesn't work, we try to change it and make it better.
Continuous growth, emphasizing self-improvement and learning. We're all lifelong learners. Empowerment, encouraging individuals to help those around them. We like to grow our staff from within and make sure that they can to get to their challenges, overcome their challenges, and get to the roles
and responsibilities they want to be. And I closed his remarks with uh a quote or how should I say uh something that Steve Jobs uh said at the Stanford commencement of June of 2005. Of course, we know he's no longer with us, but
focus on connecting the dots of life and living authentically. I think if we all think about that statement and do exactly what he just focused on during his commencement speech, I think we're going to be a great district, a great community. >> Jobs was a toxic person. >> Okay. and and
>> order, please. Thank you. >> And I think I think we could live a great and better life. So, I ask for your support tonight. You know, my record and again, thank you for the nomination. Look forward to uh see how this turns out. Thank you, Mayor. >> Thank you, Dr. Dlo. Mrs. Shoffs.
>> Thank you, Madame Mayor. Um, and thank you, Greg, for that overview. I mean, I agree with everything that you've said and what the school committee has done over the last two years and and over the decades that they've worked together. Um, we're talking here about why I'm running for chairperson. So, you know,
I'm seeking the position of chairperson, not because I don't think that Greg has done a good job. I think that it's just that we have different things to bring to the table. And so, you know, this is my 39th year with Taton Public Schools. I did 36 years as a teacher, 13 of those as an administrator. Um, my CAGS is in
educational leadership. So, I've spent a lot of time in the leadership position working with people, being collegiate with people, working on transparency, and I think my leadership skills um speak for themselves on um how I've run my department um the years that I was there. I also have extensive knowledge
in curriculum um in special education. I was um the state's first um um apprentice teacher, so I actually came from industry and came into education. I also worked with the state on their polio assessment and I worked on that
committee for about 10 years and presented at um Harvard University um over the summers on on portfolio assessment which is something that the in replace of the MCCAST there's going to be a big push um looking at trying to do portfolio assessment back into the
schools. So I think I can bring a lot to the table with that. Um I would I've served on four NEAS committees so I know about accreditation and um and I know about how we evaluate different systems that we have into place. Um I also h I
also have a wide range of educational subcommittees that I have either been on or I have been a chairperson on. So I think that I um you know I bring budget and finance to that obviously running on the budget and financial subcommittee right now. I've done I ran the teacher mentorship program for the district for
a while. Um I've been in SEI instruction. So when you look at all the different areas that go on within the district, I have been a part of almost all of them in my career. So going into my 39th year here with Tottenham Public Schools. I agree with what Greg said.
You know, when we when we run for these positions, you do that because you want to give back. And so we've all given back. And my whole career has been about giving back. if it wasn't as part of um Taton public schools, it was um you know, it was coaching, it was being part
of my um church. And um I think I have a lot to bring to the table. I think that when you've looked at my leadership skills that I've had over the past two years, you you know that I'm someone that is willing to look at both sides of the of the aisle. many times we haven't
agreed on things and um uh Isaiah will uh attest to that, but we always have some nice dialogue about this and I I do have an open mind. So, I appreciate Melissa um you know um recommending me and as well as Carrie um seconding it
and um I think I can bring a new perspective to the U school committee and I hope you would consider me for your vote. So, thank you. >> All right. Thank you, Mrs. Shs. Okay. So, we will move forward now with the roll calls and we will first uh have a
roll call for Dr. Dlo. >> Um, Mrs. Mullen, >> it's a >> So, it's a yes or a no. >> Uh, no. >> Mrs. Schubs, >> no. >> Mr. Powski, >> no.
>> Mrs. Fagan votes yes. Uh, Miss Santos, >> no. Mr. Ba. >> Yes. >> Mr. Laura. >> Yes. >> Yes.
>> Okay. So, it is uh four yes and four no. Uh so then we will uh go on to Mrs. Shave's um to see how many votes. >> Yes. >> Is going to be >> Yes.
Yes. >> No. >> Yes. >> No. >> No. >> No. >> Okay. So, it is 44. Um, I think what we will do at this time is have another
round of voting, which we usually do. Um, I think it makes sense for me to do it a different way if that's okay with everyone. Yeah, that would that um I should have done it by a call of name. So, I apologize for that. Um so this um round of voting you will give the name
of the person that you're voting for. All right. >> We will do that one more. >> Yes please. >> Miss Mullen >> Shabs. >> Mrs. Shabs. >> Shabs. >> Mr. Powski. >> Shabs. >> Mrs. Fagan votes. Um Dr. Dlo. U Melissa.
I'm sorry. Miss Santos. >> Mrs. Shabs. >> Dr. Gregory Dlo, >> Mr. >> Dr. Dlo >> and Mr. Dlo. >> Gregory Dlo. >> Okay. Tai vote again.
>> At this point, um, unless anyone would like to do one more round of voting, um, with just the committee members, uh, I will be voting also. All right. So seeing no interest in that
um we will do the role one more time and we will do that again by name. >> Mrs. Mullins >> Shaves Mrs. Shavves >> Shaves >> Mr. Powski >> Mrs. Shaves
Dr. Dlo Mrs. Santos >> Mrs. Shaves Mr. >> Dr. Dlo >> Mr. >> Dr. Dlo >> Gregory Dlo >> Mrs. Shabs. Um 54. Mr. Shabs will be the chair and I

chair with the floor being open for nominations. Does anyone need me to read the the kind of guidelines again? Okay. So, I will then open the floor for nominations for secretary. Dr. Dlo, >> I nominate Christine Fagan for secretary. >> Second.

advisory committee. Um I'd like to share a couple updates from Taton High School. First, I'd like to start by welcoming everyone back and wishing you a happy new year. I also want to welcome Miss Mullins to her first school committee member meeting following her swearing in. We're looking forward to working
with you this year. Currently at Taunt High School, new Chromebooks are being distributed to our 9th grade students um starting today and continuing throughout this week. I'll admit I'm pretty jealous cuz I didn't get one when I was in nth grade,
but um Dr. Harrison and his team has been working diligently and um distribution is expected to continue throughout this week. Academically, term two grades will be closing next Friday, January 16th, which also marks the end
of the semester, semester 1. With that comes a lot happening at once. Term grades will close. Report cards will be released in the community portal later the following week. In addition, midterms and finals will take place with blocks A, B, and C
testing on January 15th, and blocks D, E, and F testing on January 16th. Both of these days will be half days with student dismissal at 11:50 a.m. After that, students will observe Martin Luther King Day on Monday, January 19th,
and will return to school on January 20th. At that point, students who will or who are enrolled in halfyear CL courses will begin their new classes. All of this officially marks the halfway point of the school year. Time really
does fly when you're having fun. And with that, that concludes my first student advisory committee report for the year 2026. Thank you for your continued support. >> Okay, thank you Isaiah. Halfway there. Excellent news. >> Motion to receive and place on file. >> Second. >> Motion to second. All in favor? Opposed?
None opposed. So voted. Uh next we have public input and we do have um one person signed up for public input. Heather Bailey Gregorius. Um if you could join us at the podium. Uh if you could just state your name and address and I would ask that you keep to your
comments to approximately three minutes. >> Hi everybody. Uh my name is Heather Bailis Gregorius. I live at 16 Belvoir A 1 in Taton. Um, I am here in defense of these students
who on social media and in conversation are basically being called monsters. Um, the students who are causing rooms to be cleared, the students who are doing these things because they're not being supported in an adequate way. Um,
but when you look at them being the minority of students with those types of behavioral problems, you end up with a very large angry mob of the other side. And I hate to see the district turning into these parents
against these parents because that's what's happening. Your student is ruining my students experience. It's us against you. I agree with all of the things that staff have said in their public input
recently. Um, we sugarcoat a lot of things. There's a lot of things you probably don't know that go on. And I know you've heard many staff members speak up about stuff that happens in the classrooms, um, in the cafeterias, on the
playgrounds. For every one person that speaks up, I'll tell you there's probably at least five more that are afraid to speak up. they're intimidated um in the parents of the students with the
high level of need in my professional career. I support those families. And if you were me and your job every day was to go to work and have people call you crying that you need help
because your student is not being helped either at school or outside of school. It's easy to throw parents under the bus and say, "Well, we can't do everything. You have to support your own student." Well, try a year and a half weight list
for ABA services during after school hours. Try your health insurance doesn't cover that particular type of service and you don't have the capacity to repeatedly try to get it covered again
and again and again. So, you're just defeated. Um, I assist with running parent support groups for these families. We can't get through a session without people crying. People need help. They don't need to be
told, "Your children are horrible. Get them out of my classroom and get them out of my school." It is our job to educate them. No, we shouldn't have to clear classrooms. So, let's do something about it and support the students in the way
they need to to prevent that from happening in the first place. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mrs. Gregorius. >> Okay. At this safety is physical. >> Thank you. Uh at this time we have the
election of the organizational committee and I will take a moment because that is a little bit different uh to read the guidelines on that. Uh the organization committee consists of three members of the school committee who will be nominated and elected by a majority vote
of those present in voting. So again I will open the floor for nominations and they'll need a second. Um we'll follow the same procedures. Uh the committee shall serve for the two-year term following its election. The duties and responsibilities are that the members
shall serve for two years commensurate with the term. Uh they shall solicit input from each school committee member regarding their interest in serving on subcommittees. A form will be provided to the members where they will indicate their interest. Whenever possible, the
wishes of the members will be addressed. It shall it shall submit recommendations for the membership of the various subcommittees at the next meeting of the school committee to be held within two weeks after the first January meeting. So two weeks after this meeting, the
committee may make a recommendation for a change in the day of the week and or the start time of the regular school committee. So is everybody clear? C. Uh I'm sorry, Dr. Dilla. Uh, I'd like to uh propose a slate of nominations if we're open.
>> Okay. Yes. Floor is open for nominations. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you, mayor. I'd like to propose uh the slate of Christine Fagan, Nathan Palolski, and Gregory Dlo. Uh the three longest serving committee members as in past practice. Uh that's the slate for nomination.
>> Okay, we have a slate for nomination. Are there any other nominations be it a slate or an individual for this organizational committee? >> Okay, seeing none, I >> second. >> Oh, um, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Mel. >> Second.
>> Uh, motion and second. All those in favor? >> I >> opposed. None opposed are voted. Um, and so the organizational committee will consist of Mrs. Fagan, Mr. Powski, and Dr. Dlo. >> Thank you. >> Okay.
Mayor, if I may. >> Yes. >> So, uh, on the actual organizational, uh, our committee members have had the, um, the information in their packets, I guess, for two school committee periods now. Uh, I thought we were doing that
tonight. >> If you all want to sit here and do it tonight, uh, you may do that. Uh, it says in the rules that it shall be done, uh, at the meeting, the next meeting. uh you guys can vote to do it tonight or you can do it at the next meeting as is
stated in the rules. >> I mean, I'm just going off of past practice where we've always had the opportunity to do it tonight since tonight is a light agenda and u that's what I came prepared for that. So, >> if if that's the wishes of the committee, you can certainly do that. I
would um I would just voice my disagreement with the practice of going into another room um to to do this where uh we are all sitting right here right now. >> Can we do it here? >> Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes. >> All right. >> Fine with that. >> So, um Oh, you know what? You the
committee needs to elect a chair, too. So, I guess if you guys are going to do this tonight, you guys will start. We Everybody else can stay here, leave, do whatever you want. Um because it's a subcommittee meeting. Uh, and you guys can elect your chair and do your work. >> You want to do that publicly? I mean, we
can do it right here. >> Uh, I I nominate uh Christine Fagan to be chair. >> Second. >> All those in favor, I guess. >> Oh, she's >> Oh, yeah. I'm not on the committee. I'm sorry. This isn't me. Yeah. There would be.
>> All in favor? Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Good. So, you're the chair. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm not sure how you want to do this now. >> I don't have all the sheets of paper. I only have >> You want
Is there a blank sheet where he can just fill in the >> Can you pick the choices? That's it. >> Everybody here. Yeah, but we can we can change the rules at any time, you know, they rather do it
open, which I think is good. Make sure >> that's because that automatically gets filled by the the Um, it' be she and I do that. That's that that's why that should I should have said that at first.
>> Civic Cickly Bank is you and I. >> That's what they always do. It's either me or you that sign. >> We just pick the ones the committees we want to be on. Like if you put an Astro want to be there. I had to do this like Yeah, just go like
What exactly? You should put that on your tombstone. >> Never mind. >> Could go either way. 11. >> You have to rate it from 1 to 11. One being your favorite.
You have everybody addressed it on Just >> finished. >> Are you finished? >> Yeah. Guys,
they are trying to So, Would it be easier? >> No, no, it's okay. So, just the only mic. Gotcha. >> Thank you. Thank you. So, just Yeah, just to be clear, the subcommittee is
the three of us we're doing in public, right? So, you guys can all hear, but unfortunately, nobody else can really take take part in the thing. So, all right. So, let's What's this? Is that somebody's >> That's Louis, right?
>> That's Louis. Okay. >> Yeah. >> One, two, three. >> Four. >> Five. number. >> You know what I say to you? >> It's an 11. >> Oh jeez.
>> That's all right. That's all right. All right. I think I think we we need a chairperson for everything. So, let's just add the chairs first and then we'll fill out the uh the thing. So, okay. So, chapter 74. Did anybody put a number one on that?
Chapter 74. Okay, nobody put a number one, but Carrie put a number two and indicated that she would be interested in being the chair. So, let's hope Carrie's happy with being the chair. >> Um, did anybody else have a two?
I get a three. Nobody else had a two. So, nice and easy. Carrie is the chairperson of chapter 24. All right. >> Steve is >> Steve had that is 11. No, sorry. Steve

clarification on from the MTA? >> So, I would suggest if you're not going to accept the report or you can vote against it at this point, uh you could get an opinion from state ethics.
>> Dr. Deal. >> Thank you, mayor. Yeah. Again, an organizational subcommittee is just any other subcommittee is formed, voted on, uh, presented, uh, you know, their recommendation. It can be voted up, voted down, and go from there. Basically, I don't I don't think we need legal opinion. I mean, I think we're all
here as a body. So, that's my my two cents worth. Thank you, >> Miss Santos. >> But you're not allowing me my my second and my third my other my first choice. you're not allowing me my first choice because you're making this decision
already when I've already been on that I'm we're still bargaining on that committee now. So would that mean that if we ratify the contract that that's null and void because I was on the committee and it's a conflict of interest.
>> So I I think conversation between members should you know should be directed at the chair. Um I uh Mr. Mr. Powski may have some information for that if uh you want to speak. >> Yeah, thank you. Um just a comment as a member of the committee. Um I I wouldn't
see anything wrong with seeking um expert advice because to be honest with you, I I don't know, you know, I I uh the discussion was raised about a potential conflict of interest. We try to avoid that. But um I think if anybody really feels strongly
about being on a committee, we do want to give everybody that that that choice. you know, we tried to go through this thing and give everybody their first choice. Um, obviously certain things uh were were eliminated due to actual conflicts of interest. This was a question. I don't think anybody had a
direct solid answer on it. That's why we asked uh Superintendent Cabraw to weigh in. So, I don't see anything wrong with getting some input before we make a final decision. >> Thank you, Miss Powki. Dr. Dlo. >> Thank you, Madam Mayor. Uh I if the maker of the motion would split out the
motion and make a motion to accept the recommendations of the organizational subcommittee for the regular 11 committees posted and defer the bargaining uh till the March uh January 17th meeting. Uh I think that would be most appropriate so our colleague can
further investigate and find out. I would be very agreeable to that motion splitting it up and then on the 17th we'll get a ruling as to uh your questions, Miss Santos. >> Okay. So, and and there's a second to
finish. >> So, who who made the second? Who second them? I made the motion. >> Who I think you made. >> I seconded it. >> I seconded your motion. >> So, there's a motion to approve Oh, I'm sorry. the regular committees
>> recommendation and the bargaining subcommittees by the 17th will make a determination at that time once we get a ruling as to her questions miss send those questions >> second on the motion >> so motion and second on discussion superintendent
>> clarification are we referring this to attorney for an opinion >> I'm sorry >> are we referring this to attorney brunt for an opinion >> attorney who >> attorney Kobe Brunt >> oh Kobe yes I'm sorry I always call her Kobe Yeah, >> for just the bargaining bargaining
>> bargaining committees. Sure. >> Okay. >> All right. So, we're all clear. Mrs. Vag, >> we can also contact the MASS, MASC, the Mass Association of School Committees, too. >> Yeah. >> About that because they they talk about conflict of interest all the time. It's
amazing the things that become a conflict of interest. is just to avoid the >> I you know I I think it would be appropriate to ask the school's attorney and he would probably advise whether or not Mrs. Santos herself needs to contact um because usually organizations will
not give you an ethics or um an opinion of someone else. They have to be the one to initiate it. So >> you start there I think and then go somewhere else if if need be if that's the advice. So >> if I can just add I'll just say I take
this the conflict of interest state ethics every single year and it has never come up. I take it for every college I have to teach at at whether it's Massoya Bristo Community College Bridgewwater and here I've never seen it come up in that test. So I just want to
because if it ever did then I would have of course said I would have refused myself if it had ever come up but it never came up and it hasn't come up for these two years. So, I'm just really concerned as to why now it is coming up. It feels a little bit more personal than anything. >> Okay. >> I just wanted to say
>> yeah. Uh and you know, I think it's important to note that um the committee is uh you know, making decisions uh right here this evening and are doing making decisions that they think is at the best interest of the school
committee, not personal decisions. And so we'll move forward in this manner. I think everybody will hopefully get the answers that they want and be satisfied. All right, so there's a motion and a second on the floor. Uh, all those in favor? >> Opposed? None opposed. So voted.
>> Okay. Uh, new business. Ms. Santos, did you want to address that? >> Yes. >> So, um, this came up at our what was it? December 17th meeting. Um so I had brought up under new business um the idea to review our policies which is all
online everybody it's available to the public um but part of my inquiry kind of came with some questions about school visits so on and so forth and then I started really you know going through some of them and I thought it would be appropriate for us as a committee to
review them and so I would like to refer this um policy review for uh January 28th for the school committee retreat. So moved. >> Second. Yeah. >> I made the motion. >> Second. >> Oh, I thought I thought Melissa I'm
sorry. I thought Miss the motion. Oh, you requested the motion. >> I'm requesting. >> My apologies. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Laura. >> Second. >> Motion second. All those in favor? >> Opposed? None opposed. So voted. Okay. Um unfinished business is just the action item update. If there's no
business with that, we can move on. Okay. Um press time. No press here at this point. And I will >> motion to adjurnn. >> Second. >> Motion to adjurnn and second. All those
in favor? Opposed? None opposed. So voted. Thank you everyone.
