So moved. I'll second. And discussion. Any discussion board agenda? All in favor? And now uh uh if you will please stand for the pledge of allegiance. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. And now we move on to public comments. Okay. Um, Gan Meyer. Gan Meyer residents. We get one day July 4th to honor our country and one month June to honor Pride Month and no days to honor the biblical family designed by God with one husband and wife and children. I would ask the school district not to celebrate Pride Month. Nearly 10 years ago, I felt compelled to stand in support of the transgendered students who had been allowed to use opposite sex bathrooms in the schools. Hear the compassion in my voice for these pre precious young people.

The board of school trustees publicly recognizes this achievement and renders it permanently to its minutes to be preserved for public posterity dated this 19th day of May, 2025. Can we have coach Lucas come on up and say a few words. So, I'll have you just tell us a little bit about your achievement for the year. Okay. Um, hi, my name is Robert Lucas and uh I coached uh the Math Bowl this year, but uh I would uh be crazy not to give the credit where it's due. Uh you know, the teachers that made the recommendations, Miss Mrs. Lindsley, who uh put together the team, uh she said, "I I understand that you're a math ball coach and uh we could use a math ball coach." So, all I had to do was kind of point them in the right direction. And the kids uh were absolutely amazing.

She truly has created the teamwork in our classroom this year. She is always cheering her classmates on, encouraging them when the going gets tough, and giving lots of praise when someone does well. Bailey has a kind heart and wants everyone to be happy. This winter during our long stretch of indoor recess, she even took her own allowance money and bought all the ingredients for slime for the entire class. It kept them entertained for several weeks. I'm very proud of me, her growth, kindness, and team spirit. [Applause] This is Miss Ella Enrisi and uh teamwork exemplifies her characteristics daily. Um her teachers said she is a person who consistently chooses to do the right thing each day. She contributes to each group she works with and encourages others to make right choices. Leading peers can be difficult, but Ella does it in a way that others follow and she sets a great example daily.

Y um good evening members of the Dartmouth School Committee. Uh my name is Megan Wakefield. I'm an education support professional at Quinn Elementary School, proud mother to three elementary age children who attend our public schools, and I'm a taxpaying resident and voting town member in Dartmouth. I'm here tonight because I care deeply about this district. I care as a graduate of the school system. I care as a parent. I care as an employee. And I care as someone who believes that a strong public education system is the backbone of a thriving community. But here's the truth. We who work within our schools are not okay. The people who support and teach Dartmouth's children, the teachers, the ESPs, the support staff are struggling. Many of us are earning wages that haven't kept up with inflation. Some haven't seen any meaningful raise in years. And even as rent, groceries, gas, and utilities have gone up, as the cost of living has raised significantly over the past 5 years, the premiums for our health insurance continue to skyrocket annually.

Hey, Heat. Hallelujah. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] Thank you. And please be seated. [Applause] Good evening, faculty, parents, and my fellow graduates of the class of 2025. My name is Andrew Malay for those of you who do not know me, and I've had the privilege to serve as this year's student body president. Today, we are standing at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. After years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, every homework assignment we completed, every late night spent studying for that one big test, it all has brought us here to this very moment. So, I want to be the first to congratulate each and every one of you on this incredible milestone. I'd also like to take a moment to sincerely thank my teachers who helped shape my journey. Whether it was playing trash ball in Mr. Brown's class having these random talks with Miss Matheni in first period or just all my teachers creating memorable moments.

My support came not in the same direction this country was moving to, but in indignation that these transgendered students were being helped by affirming their mental issues. As a master's prepared nurse, I checked out the many research articles testifying to the board that environmental pollutants from microplastics to synthetic birth control hormones were messing with vertebrae reproduction from fish to humans. It looks like this. A male turtle exhibits female behavior and has eggs in his testicles. I listened to numerous transgendered students testify causing horrific repriced memories to come flooding back. My adolescence causing overwhelming anguish putting I'm shaking. putting these old memories into a whole picture. For the first time, I had experienced insomnia, hair loss, nausea, complete preoccupation with trying to hide what adolescence had done to my body. By the end of high school, I had gotten over it. For such a time as this, I had been transgender.

And the CSA Lincoln math bowl team correctly answered 30 of 32 questions. Um, and that's the highest score we've had in school history. And they placed first state champions in the green class, uh, which saw 101 schools compete. And a little extra special piece of uh information this year was that in a total of a total of 488 schools that competed across the state, only three other schools scored more points than our group. So, we're really excited for them. Um, our team consists of the following students and we've got some spring sports going on, so we're missing a few team members today. But as I say your name, if you'll just step forward and then just step back. Sounds good. Uh, Parnav, Aki, Raju, Gretchen Beey, Isa Blackstock, Parker, Parker Koy, Andrew Doig, Jonah Gover, Sari Haruoka, Isabelle Kaiser, Aene Carr, Gel, Laura, Dwarte, Bailey Loinger, Amelia Meadows, Anna Reed, Shoki, Sato, Harrison, Severance, Carter West, and you can see some of them wore their team shirt this year, which was pretty fantastic.

She is humble about her athletic ability and her academic accomplishments. She is a true teammate inside of the classroom and outside of it. [Applause] The high school would like to recognize Cameron Holly. Um, we had a couple of teachers say some things about Cameron. Cameron is kind, hardworking student who is always full of joy and wonderful ideas. She's a team leader, but also a team cheerleader, always rooting for everyone and helping them achieve their best work. Cameron is all around a good person, and we're lucky to learn from her. Cameron also is involved in making sure that all the student body is involved. Not only does she like to be a cheerleader for them, but likes to see them improve. She has started the school Tik Tok page to try to get more student involvement in our school. Cameron cares about each of her students and wants to make Greencastle High School a better place for [Applause] students.

In some instances, ESPs bring home less than $30,000 a year for full-time work, a number that speaks volumes about how undervalued their essential work truly is. And teachers, despite advanced degrees and years of experience, are seeing health care costs eat up any modest increase they receive, if they receive one at all. I know firsthand the hard work that goes into making our schools safe, supportive, and successful. Every day I walk through the same doors as our teachers, ESPs, support staff, and administrators, and I see people showing up for our kids with everything they've got. We love our jobs. We love our students. But that kind of dedication doesn't pay our bills. We are continually being asked to give more while bringing home less. So I urge you, please come to the table in good faith. Settle a fair contract that includes real cost of living, adjustments, and affordable health care options.
