Um, thank you everyone. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and uh and having this discussion out. Um, okay. So, moving back back up to the top, um I will just say like this, um executive session is a potential executive session if we feel like we need it specifically to discuss the superintendent's contract before we vote on it. Um do we feel like we need it? >> Do we all copy >> it? Yes, you should have it in your packet. It is under new business. >> That's helpful. Just >> Yep.

Is that coming from you, Superintendent, or coming from you, Chair Childs? This was coming from somebody. Yeah. Was this about the mayor changing the dates possibly? And we didn't that. No. Was this about the 325 vote? Unsure. This was on here when it was shared with me as a draft. I did not put this in. Moving right along. meeting dates for next I I was thinking when you mentioned it, Chair. I'm sorry that you meant we're thinking next year's school committee.
>> Good. Are we ready to vote? >> Yeah. >> Absolutely. >> Just make eye contact with me when you're ready. Yeah, totally. >> Would we? >> Yeah, that's my I guess I have a kind of question. Would we want to let the two members that weren't at executive session know it was changed or would they be able to notice it on the contract? I know you went out there, too. >> Um, yeah, there was there was a back and forth discussion responding to a counter offer. Um, but the result of that counter offer was they dropped it and um took took two vacation days instead. >> All right, I think we're good. >> All right, I think we are ready for a vote. So motion from Chair Ston to approve the contract with Carol Cruiser and authorize the chair to sign the contract. >> Second.
It does say budget. So, it was just to notify I say just, but to notify people of the meeting at public hearing on March 16th and then another meeting on March 25th. Okay. Great.

And we did do a advertisement in the newspaper where we have things available at central office. It is online. You received the agenda already for next Monday with all the uh documents. So, I think we're covered pretty good shape. Okay. And they can access it on our GPS website. All right. So, moving right along. Um item D was something that I was bringing as a carryover from last year, but it is non-urgent and in the interest of getting us out of here cuz it's already 9:45.

Vice Chair Childs. >> Yes. >> Member Deniv. >> Yes. >> Mayor Disorger. >> Yes. >> Member Dyman. >> Yes. >> Passes. All right. Passes unanimously. That subcommittee is no more.

and move that possibly to our community outreach to review it first before going to policy. It sounds like we have time for that. Um Sure. Can I um Can I get a sense of what it means for you all to review it? Um I think I would just really like the um community It's really late, so I'm trying to I should have wrote this down sooner. But the community engagement to really look at what the policy currently is and if there's any maybe give some recommendations for policy on changes. Maybe giving people time to like write in. Volunteers. Like the volunteers. So kind of host a listening session about it to generate more information. Okay. Or like kind of dig in a little. I know I've tried to dig um dig in deeper with um the superintendent about how many people we have for volunteers, where our volunteers are volunteering.
>> Okay great we are duly notified of the meetings on March 16th and March 25th about our budgets. So please any members of the public who are watching this now or will watch this later um come to those meetings >> right and we did do a advertisement in the newspaper we have things available at central office it is online you've received the agenda already for next Monday with all the documents so I think we're covered in pretty good shape >> and they can access it on our GPS website >> all right so moving right along Um, >> item D was something that I was bringing as a carryover from last year, but it is non-urgent and in the interest of getting us out of here because it's already 9:45. Can I bump this to April? >> Yeah, >> the policy subcom will meet on March 30th.
Um just to have the community engagement really dive in deeper. Okay. So I think in terms of process, we actually if we're going to if we're going to postpone items D, E, and F, I think we need a vote on that. Then we can come back to G. Um Can we take that vote on items D, E, and F right now to postpone them? I make a motion that we postpone items D, E, and F until April's meeting. Great. And then I have a comment about G. Okay. I'll second the motion. Okay.
So, we're going to do all of the things from the last pile. >> Great. >> For April. So, all of this for us will be on the following pile >> for May. >> Okay. Just FYI. >> Thank you. Um, perfect. So, we're bumping D to April. >> We can bump any policy to April because it will not get to us until mid to end April May. I'm just telling you. >> All right. So, what is that? That's item >> E >> D E F >> G. Not that, not that. I'll have them on the agenda for April. >> All right. >> Not March because March is already due. >> Okay. So, could you um we need I think we need a vote to postpone items. >> I would like to take motion G. >> Mhm. >> And move that possibly to our community outreach to review it first before going to policy.
Any discussion about moving moving items D, E, and F to our April meeting? Seeing none, please call the roll. Member Goodwin. Yes. Chair Sexton. Yep. Secretary Webb, yes. Vice Chair Childs. >> Yes. Member Genevieve. >> Member Dischinger. Yes. Member Dieteman. Yes. Passes unanimously. Okay. And then motion G as written sends says to say it says to send this item to policy, but I am hearing that there is a desire for an amendment to to instruct it to go to community engagement. Um however, community engagement does not have like policy is not its purview, but I would um support you all doing some finding. And this is actually a question that I have for the broader committee is how do we do business that might touch multiple subcommittees cuz I would actually love to see the two subcommittees do this work together cuz it's kind of a both and.
And it sounds like we have time for that. Um, sure. Can I um can I get a sense of what it means for you all to review it? Um, I think I would just really like the um community, it's really late, so I'm trying to I should have wrote this down sooner, but the community engagement to really look at what the policy currently is and if there's any maybe give some recommendations for policy on changes, maybe giving people time to like write in >> volunteers >> like the volunteers. >> So, kind of host a listening session about it to generate more information. Okay. or like kind of dig in a little. I know I've tried to d um dig in deeper with um the superintendent about how many people we have for volunteers, where our volunteers are volunteering um just to have the community engagement really dive in deeper.
Um We should have a motion to discuss this. Motion to dis- How would we even phrase that? Motion to discuss where to send item G. Second. All right. Please call the vote. Wait, what are we Okay. The motion the motion is where to send. >> Member Goodwin. Yes. Chair Sexton. Yeah. We have a motion >> Motion and a second, so now we can discuss it. We have we don't have a vote on it yet. >> Okay. It's real late at night. >> we're doing. >> Okay. It's real late at night. It's time for discussion on A D D A. I've got to discussion point. Well, the motion itself was to open discussion, so now we're discussing whether or not to discuss. Yeah, well, we're discussing now and then we're going to vote. >> Yes. We're opening the discussion. >> We're Does the discussion is open?
>> Okay. So, I think in terms of process, we actually if we're going to if we're going to postpone items DE and F, I think we need a vote on that and we can come back to G. Um, can we take that vote on items DE and F right now to postpone them? >> I make a motion that we postpone items D, E, and F until April's meeting. >> Great. >> And then I have a comment about G. >> Okay, >> I'll second the motion. >> Okay.
No, we we Nan. Nan. That's right. Um we began at motion G to which member Webb suggested pertain to I am so sorry. Quick, throw a Ricola. community engagement to which Vice to which chair Sexton realized there was an issue of issues that touch on multiple committees. To which sparked, well, we need to just figure out where to go. What are we doing with G? So, the discussion we voted a discussion on how to decide what we're doing with G. We initially had a motion, but it's like, wait, we can't do that. So, you're just backing up your G motion to discussing what to do because it touches on multiple Yes, but we haven't actually voted yet to open that discussion. We are discussing to discuss. And so, I was hoping to get through that vote to them. >> discuss where to send item G was brought up by It's too late in the night.
Any discussion about moving moving items D, E, and F to our April meeting? >> Seeing none, please call the role. >> Member Goodwin, >> yes. >> Chair Saxton, >> yep. Secretary Webb, yes. Vice Chair Childs, >> yes. >> Member Dene, >> yes. >> Mayor Disorger, >> yes. >> Member Dyman, >> yes. >> Passes unanimously. Okay. And then motion G as written sends says to say it says to send this item to policy, but I am hearing that there is a desire for an amendment to to instruct it to go to community engagement. Um however, community engagement does not have like policy is not its purview. But I would um support you all doing some finding and this is actually a question that I have for the broader committee is how do we do business that might touch multiple subcommittees because I would actually love to see the two subcommittees do this work together because it's kind of a both end.
We don't vote to open discussion. We just discuss after somebody makes a second. You guys have done this like 50 times tonight. I mean, I know it's almost 10. Like, I completely understand my brain is mush, but What if we >> the motion, somebody seconded it, so let's have a discussion. >> All right. I I totally get I literally want to fall down dead asleep right now. I'm sorry. All right. Okay, so real quick. Yeah, like policy has to look at this because there's legal things involved with it. And so, that like this whole thing when it starts to talk about queries, I'm going to have to I'm going to have to send an email to Royal. I'm going to have to send an email to the council. I'm going to have to like figure all that out, but you guys over in community engagement have this like great moment here to figure out what could volunteer situation in the district look like and start to build your system of how you'd like it to see how you'd like it to be seen and used and happen.
Um >> we should have a motion to discuss this. We should have a motion to discuss this. Motion to dis How would we even phrase that? Motion to discuss where to send item G. >> Second. >> All right. Please call the vote. >> The motion. The motion is where to send. >> Sounds great. >> Member Goodwin. >> Chair Saxon. >> Yeah. We have >> motion and a second. So now we can discuss it. We have We don't have a vote on it yet. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's real late at night. >> That's what we're doing. >> It's real late at night. It's time for discussion on a DDA. I've got a discussion point. >> Well, the motion itself was to open discussion. So now we're discussing whether or not to discuss. >> Well, we're discussing now and then we're going to vote. >> Yes, >> we're opening the discussion.
Like you can build that. And you can gather your forces, but then we have to find out in policy what the legal ramifications are are going to happen. Words are not working now. It's almost 10. But do you understand what I mean? We got to make sure that like all the Corey's and the fingerprinties and the thingies are in place so that everyone is safe and that's all the policy is going to do. The policy isn't going to say like whether someone can, you know, what the volunteer job is. That's for you guys to work with superintendent on. Sure. Uh one thing another way I've seen this done as well would be to as member Dennett mentioned it's policy issue, but to have a policy subcommittee meeting and also invite not too many, right? But a member uh depending on people to come in and give opinions on what the policy could well So you could your committee could do some work potentially and send a representative, maybe not if there's three, not a voting not a school committee member, but you can attend meetings.
