007to share some of what goes on in our classes every day in all grades 6 through 12 we focus on the process of government and how it works and why democracy is the best system and the successes and triumphs we've had and the challenges that remain also every day we focus on differences and how together we are strong if we listen and understand listen now to teachers who explain what they're doing in class and to students who will share some of their ideas and what they've learned this is the second year that we've incorporated heritage months into our curriculum for example this month we'll be focusing on asian pacific history month as history teaches we think it's important to tell a story and this story is about different people and their perspectives i'm going to
008talk to you about cleopatra vii cleopatra was the last uh ancient pharaoh of ancient egypt and she was a female and she held lots of power over the scribes and the priests which were all males and this is important still today because despite her gender she was still able to hold power over the males which can show us women today that we can hold power over males as well about the oracle of delphi or the pythia she was she predicted the future helping sparta and athens win the war with persia she was one of the youngest she was 13 years old and she influenced us a lot in art because a lot in our modern world greece won the persian wars they created some of our legacies that we use to this day such as
009government and our educational system hi my name is august ames and i would like to talk to you about sepsis she was one of the most influential women we studied in social studies this year she um she was not only the first leader of egypt but she was also the first female leader of all time she influenced money movement today and had much power over priests and scribes in asian egypt which were all men her wealth and her power being a female influences many women today hi i'm jen o'malley and i'm sarah pastor and we teach the seventh grade course ancient cultures and world geography in class students explored the ethical debates running climbing mount everest students researched the sherfar the nepalese government and the climber's perspective and debated whether or not the nepalese government
010has an ethical responsibility to close climbing on mount everest students use research to support their stance and reflected on classmates points that were made during the debate to draw their final conclusions surrounding this global issue to enhance the learning we did a simulation in the gym using the rock wall and we're going to have a speaker speak to the students named jake norton and he has climbed everest three times and has directed a video high in hollowed everest 1963. my name is carlos job and what i learned about mount everest is that it's beautiful however there's a side to it that makes it not as pretty as it seems why i enjoyed debating about mount everest is all the preparation and research we had to do because like that really got you thinking more like
011deeply about the issues and about it and why it should not be a cold climate and we really enjoyed the debate because we got to hear both sides of people who want to keep the mountain open and keep it closed and we found that the research was really interesting and fun my mount everest debate i learned about the 2014 and 2015 avalanches and in my opinion i wanted the mountain closed but after hearing about those opinions i was thinking about keeping it open and i learned about how the sherpas is the most dangerous job in the world and how they carry luggage up the mountain my opinion stayed the same i still want the mountain closed our curriculum this year is inspiring students to think critically and to evaluate historical events we've looked at multiple
012different topics such as the cold war world wars 1 2 and imperialism and encourage students to look at all these events from various perspectives to better understand how our world works and how different people view it the unit that i found really interesting was the imperialism unit and specifically the imperialism in the congo when dutch powers colonized the congo for the resources mainly rubber and the different perspectives aspect was how at the time people really only viewed the congo in terms of how much was produced and economics but now we see it more from the view of the native people there and really the effect that it had on them one unit i found interesting was world war ii specifically the bombings in nagasaki and hiroshima the united states saw the bomb as a necessary
013means to end the war that japan started whilst japan saw it as an attack on civilians and an unnecessary drop of an atomic bomb hello i'm jinder stone in history we're learning about the proxy wars unit specifically during the cold war and korea now a proxy war is what a bigger country makes a smaller country fight for it that's what happened during the korea war now that's still affecting us today with north korea still being a communist dictatorship even after the fall of the ussr and south korea is still a democracy and the two countries have not been able to unite and or make an agreement about the war really the focus of our course this year is to get kids to really think critically and understand the whys of anything so it really is
014driven by questions our focus really has been to try and understand uh disparities of inequality that really led to inequalities in american history so we've uh really focused a great deal on slavery a lot on how native americans have been somewhat cast aside and then and and other issues as those come up throughout different events in american history to try and explain how we got here where we are today i'm beth mckeon um i'm going to talk about like the two spheres um during like the 1830s and 1840s we talked a lot about like how women and men had two different social spheres um and this really made me realize a lot about like how women's history has kind of been excluded because we didn't really talk about um women's roles and like life and
015domesticity um and this year we got to talk about that and i realize now that it's like not women's history it's just history and how they're included in society um i thought it was great how we learned a lot about um like the roots of systemic racism and um we learned about that through the beginning of slavery all the way now um we're up to like the civil war which obviously has a lot to do with that racism and slavery so i just thought it was really interesting to see how it progressed over time and now how we can still see the impacts of it today in our society especially with all of the current events with george floyd and everything in the past few years so what i've learned the most from this class
016is that history is a matter of perspectives in our class i feel like we view things from a perspective of why they happen rather than that they happened if that makes sense so we don't just look at events or memorize dates what we really do is we analyze them and we talk we ask why is these are these happening what was the viewpoints of people at the time and why did this happen in our unit about the 1970s specifically on nixon ford and carter students learned about different crises such as the boston busing crisis of the 1970s after learning about it students were assigned a different civil rights organization in order to simulate a conversation about how to solve the problem each was assigned as a good group they worked together in partners in order
017to research and understand what their perspectives were and then we discussed and tried to come up with a solution listen for what their group's decisions were and how they wanted to achieve the solution to the incident and how they felt about the simulation i was assigned to group the back black panthers and with our research we decided that we would push for monitored busing in order to integrate the schools i was a member of the student non-violent coordinating committee and with our research we decided that we wanted to push for a peaceful protest in hopes of desegregating the boston school system i was a member of the nation of islam and through our research we found that we wanted further segregation for the uh for the benefit of black people i enjoyed that we got
018to hear everyone's perspective and learn what everyone thought before this unit we've only really looked at racism in the south and this unit kind of helped us put in perspective that even in the 1970s racism was still a major issue everywhere in america i found it very interesting the different opinions of the black community and how radical group was simulations helped me push to participate in class writing simulations helped force you to actually put yourself like in the shoes of somebody who isn't you and take on another role in your character i think simulations are very helpful to dive in and really understand the issue and there we are i hope you were able to get something out of that um and eleventh grade students you saw them all mentioning um the process of learning
019history and trying to sort out what does government do and what's going well and what still needs to be approved and then also different perspectives come through so i think if you have any questions i'd be happy to answer them do you want to maybe have any questions for mr sweat i just i mean i just appreciate the presentation i loved watching sort of the development of our students through the years first of all um i have to say not to to date myself but it's a very different approach to learning history with this notion of i love the idea of the why not the what so i'm wondering when your students are coming to you to learn history and you know we know from reading the headlines that there's some concern out there around
020perspectives and teaching all of it teaching this versus that so like can you just talk to us a little bit about how you're training our students to ask these questions because i mean students are naturally curious but you know i think also sometimes we get focused on the dates and the facts and the what not the whys i'm wondering can you just talk a little bit about how you're cultivating that in your classrooms yeah i'd say the first thing is we lead with questions always and they've got a big question they're working on and then a certain amount of facts whether they got that from homework or they watch something or talk about things in class and then when you come back to the question uh students begin to have answers to that and then
021it's wonderful because students ask the questions and develop the ideas at a level which they're appropriate for that particular grade level and then along with that is a real focus on on respectful listening and building on other people's um ideas those are both things that they get in all their courses i think and that really helps productive calm conversations that are opportunities for learning without without pressure without conflict thank you question about the um one of the some of the students were talking about the simulation can you kind of explain what that was sure so the simulation um they were looking at boston busing and uh they different students took different perspectives of that time and those events so uh one was black panthers one was a student nonviolent coordinating committee i know from the
022others but the students said play that role so they can have that conversation which in some ways mirrors what went on at the time it helps them you know understand the process of decision making in government that makes sense i guess i had a question could yourself understand us or be understand a little bit about um when particular topics are taught obviously there's a destiny standards and particularly the appropriate age can you take a little bit how that works or just give us a guideline of what i guess what parts of history are taught about grade level roughly and then kind of how often we review the materials that we use to teach those topics sure uh let me see sixth and seventh grade do uh world geography and ancient civilizations eighth grade is civics
023ninth grade is world history starting um around french revolution going up as far as we can to the present and then us one is tenth grade and us two is eleventh grade so that's the rough sequence um there are two so let me see so we have our state curriculum we make sure that we teach all the standards that's really important um we also bring in current events when they are around the theme so so recently there's been so much with um or without russia and ukraine and so that's got um now i gotta go off top of my head down how to start the sentence um so as well as uh proxy wars as well as um uh having russia thought that they were going to do quite well because of the raw materials
024that they had they thought that oil and gas would give them support which is similar to the south during the civil war with cotton diplomacy they thought because they had caught that great britain and france would come and join us so we work um current events and if it's sort of thematically connected so that students can think a little bit about current events while the muslim history we're constantly reviewing materials to make sure they're appropriate for students again we regularly bring in things that are current issues because students are interested in that and draw from a wide range of sources teachers really enjoy looking at and find different things different primary sources different articles and your want to make sure that if we regularly review the different texts that our students are using i'm not
025sure that there's a process for i don't need to know exactly we want to make sure we're not using a text from you know or at least we have a process to review some of our materials make sure that the current providers yeah that's a that's a good question the assistant superintendent is is in the process of putting in um a more clear process there and making sure that we follow it going through for year to year um definitely we have a while ago we put a little bit away from textbooks uh in our classes with the belief that we could find things more interesting and engaging we're now in some courses thinking about maybe we should go back because of the consistency of structure which is going to help perhaps kids up with their
026reading skills and their note-taking skills so we're always looking to uh to see how it can prove great thank you mr sweat i agree that that my son was very engaged by the mount everest debate i already haven't noticed he was but i think that reminded me of our presentation two weeks ago about just engaging the students differently and debate and analysis and how that's kind of how we drive learning forward so i like that's being kind of that whole process of being used throughout different subject matters so that's great thank you thank you thank you very much all right uh student advisors report i do not see our student advisor today i think she said her last paragraph yeah which is lovely so until we get our new advisors for the fall we'll move
027forward to state of scituate high school presentation by dr mccoy i start my video stay muted clear my screen stand on my leg i have no sound so i don't have to optimize the sound thank you so much for having me to discuss the state of the scituate high school tonight tonight's presentation is an overview of the work we're doing at situate high school it's a collaborative effort among our students parents caregivers faculty staff and administration to move our school forward this is just a snapshot hopefully of some of the initiatives that you're familiar with as well as some details on new endeavors we are pursuing to enhance the scituate high school experience i'd like to focus a minute on our core values sale represents a growth mindset for all students and educators in the
028scituate high school community these shared values and beliefs are used to guide our community and academics extracurricular activities service opportunities and our behavior and interactions with one another as the scituate high school community reflects on these core values our four defining categories emerge i'm going to explain what they mean to us serve service has lasting benefits for ourselves and others service to ourselves promotes happiness and balance service to others fosters empathy and acceptance service to our broader communities helps improve the world achieve achievement looks different for everyone achievement takes time and requires both successes and failures achievement happens with the support of others invest investing in your emotional and physical well-being promotes personal balance investing in relationships creates a support system investing in your community promotes a sense of belonging and learn everyone can learn
029learning takes place through consistent and honest self-reflection learning helps us make sense of our place in the world and learning about others helps us to be empathetic and inclusive these core values drive our work and i do believe we're all aware of the sps pillars which have been guide posts for us and our work this year so we'll start with collaboration first and foremost our faculty has collaboration time to be able to work through math curriculum and instruction to support all students and troubleshoot issues as they arise staff has time to collaborate with one another with administration with students and with parents and caregivers in their work stretches across multiple content areas our project-based learning opportunities bring departments together such as our ela and art mythology project last semester our annual ela and history junior
030research project and the freshman interdisciplinary biology project based on the premise of relationships and rooted in the culture of collaboration we have intentionally developed opportunities for student leaders to emerge and bring student voice to our school the principal's advisory council is comprised of about 25 upperclassmen who serve as student advocates mentors and leaders in the building last week we had a meeting one of our boston resident seniors spoke as an outgoing member of the pack to incoming student leaders and focused on how building relationships with administrators has been important to her and to establish two-way communication as well as another set of support systems for her she stated that had she not participated she never would have had this type of relationship with an administrator nevermind three i'm particularly proud of the student council work
031this year who has worked tirelessly to develop positive school health spirit particularly in response to the hybrid learning model that isolated teenagers from the typical high school experience their work really resides in school culture and we had many conversations about nurturing a sense of belonging in community for all students through inclusive and positive programming they made great choices to bring together the school community and i know this group is eager to collaborate further in the future this theme of belonging in community has been furthered by our dei work with students in particular the lit team 1178 and anti-racism are three groups that have been collaborating and practicing lessons to read books to dei around dei's elementary schools creating videos to showcase to the school around diverse topics creating college planning packets and outlines for resources
032and looking for ways to expand their membership and leave a legacy to underclassmen through their work the gsa has worked to support the lgbtqia community through activities designed to broaden perspectives and build allies while allies not bystanders has worked with incoming freshmen to drive home that every one of us has a stake in creating a safe and welcoming environment for our community of learners with regard to a culture of excellence the mass insight grant has helped us narrow our focus on access to and participation in advanced coursework the newly formed ap steering committee has worked to clarify expectations around ap courses with faculty students and parents and will continue this work into the fall students for the first time had access to real-time data by sitting to mock exams that were scored and returned to
033teachers to use as academic resources within their ap classes our teachers participated in pd throughout the year and a number of educators will be able to access the summer ap institutes at no cost to further develop their skills in addition to ap work we also wish to prepare students for 21st century careers through the development of graduation pathways which will be high interest concentrations of coursework extracurricular work-based and service opportunities in four economically in demand sectors the inaugural credit for life fair this fall was an excellent opportunity to expose students to their financial life after graduation just as the healthcare careers panels panels this last month hosted by our new future healthcare workers of america club connected students with successful individuals from a cross-section of professionals in healthcare exposing them to networking opportunities and exploratory
034sessions in this specific career field we plan to build these types of sessions for all students both for those who know where their passions lie and for those who need more support in facilitating the exploration everyone will have access to post-secondary planning the pathways program is an option for students who want to dive deeper into just one particular field or course of study our excellence shines through the year in the co-curricular and athletic pursuits of our students whether it's through the new history bowl team making it to the nationals in their first year or the football team winning the state championship our teams and clubs are competitive our drama and arts programs draw great numbers and move students forward like the nine freshmen who participated in the junior soundsphere festival that was hosted here at
035scituate high school in march over the past few years we've used pairs of whole staff and in smaller pockets of school counseling and freshman teams based on feedback from staff we will continue to utilize care to enhance personalized supports directly impacting the social emotional health and performance of students in the classroom teachers are asking to dive deeper into care so we will work to create more opportunities for them to do so celebrations of excellence happen on a daily basis when teachers are responding to students in the classroom or when i don't know if i interested that okay um or when a counselor acknowledges that a student has met a goal we formally celebrate our students in a number of ways as well a few examples include the national honor society inductions prestigious book awards celebrations
036for those who have embodied the core values of the high school and the annual scholarship night through a culture of personalization we work every day to meet students where they are at we support families and students in a variety of ways in a variety of ways this year we grew our academic mentoring program to further personalize for underclassmen separately from upperclassmen to help us tailor the work with teachers and students to goal set for those particular age groups and to remove obstacles to academic success in particular our faculty worked hard to reboot the home base experience for all students for a new scheduling program to enhance the advisory block this helps our students and teachers prioritize and personalize their daily options for connections for our four day per week each block our faculty prides itself
037on offering voice and choice through the curriculum student voice drives the course selection process and electives that are run based on the number of students interested in those courses our youth risk behavior data from the past few years has consistently told us that students were experiencing the need for ways to effectively manage and overcome personal stress this is an example of how data helped drive the creation of a new health elective stress management and personal wellness which will in turn personalize the experience for students seeking assistance in this area finally our students are encouraged to chart their course at scituate high school there's so many opportunities to personalize that experience in classes and in their co-curricular and athletic activities there is a place for everyone a class for each student to feel passionate about and
038the countless clubs and activities for students to further their explore in their time here personalization happens when adults seek to further students holistic development and when they take sincere interest in students lives building those relationships and seeking to make those connections for and with students we're excited to continue a lot of the work i just briefly described to you such as the ap initiative the growth of the student council and the development of career pathways allow us to partner with experts in the greater community to support our students skill development as contributors to the workforce and to the citizenship of a complex society we are ensuring that all students have access to financial literacy by 10th grade because we have heard our students staff and families communicate this as a need we'll continue to use
039data to make decisions for our students like we did with the development of programs and courses like the stress management class and finally we encourage our staff to be problem solvers in areas of their interest and priority and so they have chosen to continue working on resetting academic expectations post-pandemic and building strong student and staff culture that builds the excellence within scituate high school i hope this presentation has given you a closer look into the culture and daily activities that show that sale is well represented in our halls in our classrooms on the fields around our building and on our campus i'm so proud to be doing this work alongside an amazing team we have at scituate high school and i'm excited about the future of shs more than happy to answer any questions all
040right thank you dr mcguire you have any questions or comments first of all thank you i think that was a really nice overview of all that you do or not all you do but a lot of them do so much for being here wow i have one difficult question for you i should start with a difficult one or i could show the easy one so as a principal of the high school kind of what's the one thing that keeps you up at night like what do you worry about what's the one thing that you worry about relative to being the principal in high school that's a pretty long list one just once one that may not have been picked up in your presentation it's the social emotional health and wellness of our students it's finding
041the balance it's being able to take the classes that you want to take being able to know that there it's not one college or nothing there are so many options um there are so many pathways to your goal that we don't have to set ourselves up for all or nothing and i think that mindset has grown during the pandemic with our students that black or white all or nothing then we have to continue to show that flexibility to show that it's okay it's okay to take a step back to pause to reflect to seek balance and that doesn't mean that we're not a great student a great friend a great um child you know child to to their parents uh our students have a lot of pressure to be everything to everyone and they are
042wonderful but we are putting so much i don't know who the we is because it's not us at the high school we talk about the balance how many aps are too many um what if we're not going to college are we prepared for the next steps are we going to be a good citizen are we going to be a good human it's the whole package and if we deliver on some of that we're doing our jobs the numbers fall into place we have experts delivering amazing curriculum content it's about finding that balance for kids and helping families and community stakeholders to help support us in that in that endeavor well thank you for the answer i think i don't know what i was expecting you to say but i think that now that didn't wrap
043into it i'm glad that that's and we can back that up with the number of students who are being tested for special education the number of students who have mental health hospitalizations the number of students who are just struggling and connecting with adults in our building but they're also winning athletic championships going you know to tech week for the play and then putting on an amazing performance even though half the cast maybe had tobin uh they're doing all the things and they're doing them well and they um it's really amazing and so i i want to make sure that we're doing right by by every student good thank you um one other ques um first of all i fully support the uh you said that the students are looking for financial literacy by integrating i
044fully support that and i know i participated in the um in that last year and i think i've always been um a proponent supporter of financial literacy um so i support all that for a second one there um can you just comment a little bit about the graduation pathways i know you mentioned it in your in your words but can you just give um is it pathways specific to nursing and so on like that or is it can it also be um maybe things that are not um i guess more vocational skills are there any any anything relative to that who's both within that so this started um there was a move to connect some work within high school to some of these areas of high growth or um proposed secondary so these are high
045high demand sectors put out by the mass higher workforce investment board so we we started with that what where are the jobs where are the jobs in massachusetts and then also looking at what do we do well and what are our students interested because there are other areas here that maybe we're not as interested or aligned with like manufacturing uh that a community that has a rich history of manufacturing might latch onto so we started with four one is global studies we have a rich program where we send students for explore academic exchanges we have students earning the sale of bi-literacy we have four seniors who have earned it for two years and that's new so global studies is one business is an area where lots of our students are looking to study in college
046that's what they have said is an inch is one of their interests we have the return of the internship program this year we're looking um towards partnerships maybe something with dual enrollment in that area where we don't have an ap course in business that would be our number two the third area is health and human resource health and human source services that's our biomedical stem again our kids have told us that that's an interest they've started the future health care workers of america club we're looking at the courses and the experiences we can get them what was great about the healthcare panels that they did last week is not everyone is a doctor there are so many pathways in research in supporting the medical field that we can expose our kids to that four-year past
047two-year paths post-high school so there's something for everyone there and we can plan under that health care we know that's a booming business and then the last one is our engineering focus but we wanted to stay true to what we do well here in scituate and that's that environmental stewardship that's the idea of our post taking our coastal positioning the work we do with the cohasset center for student coastal research we just got a huge large grant with them that we're partnering on to give students watershed research experiences and and learn where you're at that's the community as classroom aspect but taking that engineering step further and being able to apply that and say well what's a problem in our community how do we fix it and how do we engineer the result to fix
048that so they can practice that and work with professionals in our community we're simultaneously developing four pathways uh two are ready to pilot for the fall and two would like to continue the development of uh this is ambitious but our department chairs and teachers have been working on them pre-covert so we feel like we're in a good place to bring in some students and really start to practice and what this looks like um this could expand to other areas but we want to really um show equity across the pathways um honor the interest that they have and also that kind of that that kind of demand outside of high school so we're kind of going slow to go fast here great thank you very much much appreciate it thank you bounce who works in healthcare
049i greatly appreciate you know you know showing kids what's out there there's so many different dogs you can get in and you mentioned addressing some of the pressures that kids are under and i you know it's it is important the kids do well but you know by whose standards because you know we're trying to make functioning members of society but they we also want to have happy functional members of society that's i think that's something at some level it's more important to me than um you know what what are they doing in their next you know after their constituent we want them to set them on the world where they can you know succeed and also be happy with what they do and if they don't how many of us have not succeeded at some
050time we want them to be able to have the grit and the resilience to pick up and try again or say plan a didn't work what is my plan b and to be thinking that that idea that it's not all or nothing and that this is a fluid a fluid path you get one shot at life but you've got to give that shot your all whatever it is and to go after that and have the zest and passion that's what we want to develop and things like that i just had a couple of quick questions i was curious you mentioned in an early slide dr mcguire about the dei efforts and you had a list of the different clubs i'm curious are you noticing that it's different students across the different clubs or is it
051the same group of students joining all of those clubs there's a little bit of both which is interesting so i think that they have their unique um they all have their missions they all have their membership they're looking very um kind of specifically at how do those overlap and where do they work together and where do they keep those separate so because they're emerging as new organizations they're looking to find and kind of vet that process that's something that is on their agendas regularly that they're looking at that they're sharing both the advisors as adults and the students so it's great conversations they have individual meetings and then they also come together for cross meetings great the other thing i noticed in your presentation um and i know this has been part of the template
052is how we're measuring success and i noticed that some of the bullets were actual the outcomes like data and then others were categories that may be coming data so i'm just wondering at some point like things like um you mentioned building awareness with the marketing campaign but there wasn't any data on whether or not awareness was was there was it increased and so i'm just wondering if that example with the ap yeah so i'm just wondering and then you mentioned um parent student meetings about aps will you it's at the end of the year be publishing that data for us to just take a look at so the grant and the the um the beauty of the grant is we have monthly coaching and we've set up a one-year and a two-year plan of a
053three-year grant so we have started and initiated our planning the next part of that is to start to look at the data to respond to that data and then to make our plan for the third year so we will absolutely report out on some of that um and i think that what's great about having those three years is that we can do that adjust a little bit they're also giving us a framework to be able to do that on our own got it yeah i just think i don't know about my colleagues but for me these presentations are so helpful i think i don't know if adding a column like to add more work but having not just the category of measurement but then the data itself would be super helpful because obviously that helps
054with the sort of decisions and next steps this is also interesting stay tuned this is kind of like a commercial here is in the june 13th we'll be presenting a little bit of our school improvement plans and i think those outcome and data points are also recognized there so i think something i know that ap initiative for example is one of the goals of the school okay thank you um but thank you for the instrumentation tonight um i know in the past miss randolph has talked about building up that alumni uh group is that something that we see being brought into the successes that you've had or is that something you're included as part of this presentation absolutely um both so i think that we're looking at building the data and building the network hearing
055um we're looking at one year five year ten year and then kind of beyond the professional so you've got your graduates of the last decade your goal your gold graduates and they have the most you know on the on the ground information of how their high school experiences impacted their first year out of college whether they transferred whether they changed um careers or jobs or um majors so they have that short-term information and then that long-term reflective piece we looked at as well we have to build that so we've worked on building that network our graduates over the past couple years have opted into that network we have an exit survey for all graduates so that's our initial we do another one at the end of year one and so we'll continue to track that
056process so we'll have five years out ten years out over time and i think the successes you had with the students either with the clubs with the sports which was great even seeing you know the girls come in and advocate for rose quality you know something that our students wanted they were able to you know make it a reality um and a couple years ago mandarin had been something to be built out in the school is there another program that we see coming in then in the near future the medium-term future to build out of our students i know that um unified sports is an area that we've been talking about uh with kobit that kind of took a backseat a little bit at the request of parents but that's something that our um our
057typical students and our our students within our ixl program are both interested in pursuing so that's for the fall something that we're looking to do um and then i think our students are really anxious to get back to the the travel and the trips that support what they're doing in the classroom um so we'll see how that will impact some of our elective courses and and units of study even to mr explained earlier about you know getting into the current events that are going into the world it's great to see students really taking an initiative on that and seeing it in the curriculum and then hopefully there's just something we can take into that just built into just a standard across what we teach right no great presentation thank you thank you so much i
058have a question for you too is that so kind of piggybacking off what dr porcuski said about data so um the pair data is that that's three times a year that that is done or is it so right now we do it once a year uh it's grades five through 12 this year i'm sorry 5 through 10. so we've had 9 and 10 for the past couple years yeah so we see the ninth graders and the transition we have the longitudinal juneau of middle school through we ended 10 at this point and that was done we do it typically uh in november okay um with covered i think some of those we got into early december this year all right is it typical the pair is only done once a year is that scituate situated
059does it won some schools do it twice just curious as i'm thinking about you know obviously the first discussion about mental health and for us as a committee be you know part of our role to be advocates like what can we do to support that you that's your identified you know paris is incredible too because it is one of the only places where we formally ask students to tell us about their experiences in school and how they feel about school they're bonding to school their feelings about their self with regard to their academic self-efficacy that's really important um so whether we do that once a year and then start to mimic that in the classroom with our counselors there are ways that we can do that without purchasing the survey or paying to do that
060we can learn a lot from where the data shows us our kids are looking for support that's where our teachers want to take it next yeah because my brain's thinking you know for us advocacy and then you know budget and wherever we can sort of assist in driving you know what is easily identified as the top you know issue of concern for any district currently and practically any person currently so you know i'm just so we do it in november so we already have that data which we've seen but then we don't have a out of the school year you know that's something we'd be talking about see what mr renee says it would be very open to it i'm sure yeah is it uh can we reissue that survey sorry at the end of
061the year you would be like a pre and post yeah all right well thank you so much dr morgan thank you so much i will not assume any question though i don't know if you can you can provide a background i talked to doctor i think a couple weeks ago when we walk outside this building the panels are green we are very interested in supporting that goal and i know that score is as well so the sure group um other people have noticed it they have they have brought the conversation forward as well so there's a there's a movement for that right here that's why we're also looking to make the high school main entrance look more like the main entrance get some blue there get some um some signage so you know because it
062used to be the bus loop entrance so being able to have that if you could find out there's going to be just i'm just curious there's someone must know do you mind when you painted blue you'll find out what the history all right so before we get to our next uh business item i just wanted to let everybody know who may not have joined initially at 6pm that assistant superintendent heidi driscoll is not able to join us tonight she had a family emergency so if that changes anybody virtually or in person i don't want your you know if you're waiting for her presentation it's being postponed till june 13th i just want to be cognizant of people's time and schedules that said we will move on to new business which our item is school choice
063mr burkhead's going to speak to that yes thank you dr dutch good evening can everybody hear me okay um first of all i'd like to congratulate um dr mikulski and uh newly elected chairwoman um brendolini for uh extending their terms for three years and congratulations uh i also want to give a shout out to uh mr taft and miss kramer for uh having the courage to run i know uh for all of you it's a pretty intense experience and having the commitment to do that is is appreciated so uh thank you uh next i want to thank dr dutch um when i first put my screen on tonight and looked across and saw the picture where i usually am i said man i got better looking um but it was it was dr dutt so
064um besides um running a quarter of the meeting without calling the meeting to order i think he did pretty good dr dutch apparently surgery has affected your eyesight so in just that note i wish i could be there and you know again another um i think a gift that zoom brings in the um you know our ability to offer a hybrid opportunity um for those of you that are unaware um you know many years of football and probably running uh too much when i should not have um had led me to get a hip replacement surgery recently and um recovering and doing well improving every day so i'll be back in person in no time but um i'm happy to be here virtually this evening and the topic i'd like to talk about is school
065choice each year by june 1st we have to make a decision where the committee has to make a decision on whether to allow or not to allow school choice uh let me just define if i could school choice it's a program that allows parents to send their children to schools and communities other than their own city or town in which they reside tuition is paid by the sending district to the receiving district which is approximately i think five thousand dollars um this group we obviously may vote to not participate in school choice and that's the question again on the table from the community tonight so i wanted to just give some supporting data on this and then in my um perspective and then turn it over to the committee to um to answer any questions
066that they may have and to um to vote so uh like a lot of things we do we look at comparables what are the towns around us doing and um you know what's our history been things like that um so in researching what other towns are doing um zero of the surrounding towns that are connected around uh situate participate in school choice um and had vote have voted no on this uh including abington braintree cohasset duxbury hanover hingham hull marshfield norwell pembroke and weymouth so no schools in our surrounding towns have a school choice program also um what my experience has been is that um this increases class size obviously or the number of kids coming into your district although you could limit it to a grade or class once you allow that opening you
067are to accept additional students and typically the amount of the cost for students uh educating a student is a lot more than five thousand dollars it's you know i know some people have thought of this as a money maker i i really in my history uh on the cape in which all schools are school choice um i think i've only known one school that actually made money i know we didn't wasn't a money maker for us um and not the reason we didn't participate but did participate in monomoy um so again the you know we also know that uh individual students come at different costs not every student costs exactly the same depending on their needs uh so that's an example um so as a revenue uh source i don't think it's a good investment
068for us that's one line of thinking also again if it was a productive policy i'm sure that at least one of the surrounding towns would have done it historically scituate has not participated in school choice so that's our own history so with all that information i would um recommend that this committee vote no to school choice for the fy swimming 20 21 22 school year thank you superintendent burkett um any other discussion by the community superintendent burger can you just talk a little bit about uh why uh families in the cape would choose particular schools um just anecdotally from my minimal knowledge it's a lot to do with sports um can you echo that or can you just give a little bit of how students end up at certain schools yeah yes thank you uh
069mr gates it's a great question and i lived this as a principal for six years and i love the concept i i think on paper this is one of those things that families have a choice and they do have to provide transportation um that's one of the catches but uh you know and then it's called it's competition the better districts will attract more kids and in our six years we turned our numbers up from being in the red to the black so we were very proud of that fact and i will tell you that um it might one of my philosophies on it was people were running to something or from something and what i mean by that is there was a lot of um abuses in it for sports uh that was the number
070one thing kids were going to play for a coach they had an aau or for a team they had or friends they played with growing up or if the team was not so good at your school or if they had a great band they'd go there so you know and that's that's their prerogative but it always wasn't academic or if they were having a bad experience at a school they might come to your school you know so there's a bunch of different reasons um but it always wasn't um you know for the academic uh experience of his school and again wasn't a money maker by any means and so i again i was never a big fan of it actually how it worked out practically again on paper it looks and sounds good um but
071and i don't know principal that i work with on the cape that um that wanted it or district and i think it has for certain areas it fits you know i work in a really small district bringing in more students from surrounding larger towns is a nice fit for some of them but it doesn't you know it has to be the right fit i think and it definitely isn't a money maker i would agree with that any other comments or questions okay i'll entertain a motion on school choice i'll make a motion to not approve school choice for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year second okay all those in paper all right thank you all right so as we said our leadership report will be postponed for tonight until june 13th 2022. it is now public
072comment however and um why don't we start with virtual anyone has a comment raise your hands now and life will unmute you mr long you see the tidbits okay i can assist you if you need help yes i'm sorry it's not true that's right i'll help you here um uh uh mr mrs tibbetts you should be able to mute yourself you can just identify yourself along with your address thank you thank you so much it's uh jennifer tibbetts 179 judge cushing road in scituate and um my i was hoping for um i may have missed it in previous meeting by howard notes i haven't seen an update as to the jenkins state in recent weeks i've seen an update for other elementary schools i was just wondering um are we waiting for an update is
073that what's expected on june 13th and more specifically my questions surrounding the change in leadership and um what that means for her rollout and changing and moving teachers around does that need clarification nope thank you um i'll say i believe we had state of jenkins i'm trying to think back yeah i think they went first so i'm trying to think for you um it would have been recorded so i don't have the exact date but maybe i can email you and let you know um because it would have been recorded so you would get all the kind of state of the school information from specifically jenkins but from rebecca long and she did go first so if we were going all the way back was probably six to eight weeks ago maybe so but we
074can definitely get that linked to you if you want it yeah i would love to review that and um i'm hoping that the committee may have seen my email from earlier surrounding my concern yeah is there um an ongoing discussion that we can speak to um surrounding teachers being moved around the school or is that do we know if that's an active discussion yeah sure i mean i think i'll i can vaguely answer it just say you know i think those are things that are always ongoing discussions just in general in school buildings um as a committee we don't have any specific information on anybody's new placements or any changes that have been made but i think that might be some of the meat and bones that we'll get into with assistant superintendent driscoll's presentation
075on the 13th okay that way we can ask her questions and public comment you can ask questions there and really kind of get a better understanding of exactly what uh what we're looking at that helps it does yeah i'm just concerned as we're rolling into june and you know teachers signing on for the following year what not um making sure that we retain experienced teachers were necessary and especially because we have another incoming kindergartner and i think some of these changes from what i've heard would also directly impact that incoming kindergartner especially given that um assessments are coming up on june 3rd and you know if there's going to be changes uh it would just be like know what we're looking at for the following year that's all yeah fair enough absolutely yeah thank you
076for hearing me absolutely thank you see another hand raised uh i'll help you out here um allison eric if you want to immediately just identify yourself and your address or the school you are affiliated with thank you so much certainly my name is allison harrington i am at 14 heritage trail in scituate i have uh two at gates and one at hatherley my um question and i think it was partly answered that enrollment discussion on the 13th is where we will find out about the enrollment per grade um specifically my question is i have heard that heather lee's third grade current third grade class which has three sessions next year will be moving down to two sections for their 49 students and the current enrollment is that where we will learn what the enrollment is
077for next year's fourth grade classes at the other schools yes so i would say from what we know right now what we'll get is a snapshot of what it would currently look like so you know as far as we know currently nothing set a stone on anything just because um you know there's that natural you know people can move into town people can move out people can make family decisions to bring kids back to sbs or to go to you know any other mode of uh education so and it is best practices that we always do go through these enrollment discussions i i want to say even um you know pre-covered you know we did them we got kind of what maybe or something like that so just to see like oh okay kindergarten um
078once it's kindergarten enrollment time we get kind of a glimpse at what the numbers are looking like um it's really hard to predict but it's good to get those updates so that we have an idea and i think we'll get significantly more information that's accurate and up-to-date from heidi driscoll when she gives her report on the 13th and with that report on the 13th i think it's similar to the person who just spoke will there be still be time for action to be taken if it is determined that there is the potential for the class to be very large especially if there are movements um or does teacher kind of assignments is for contracts for next year is that already sort of solidified in terms of numbers and budget i'll say no but um yeah
079everything's still open okay all right so i'll so it's a stay tuned for the 13. yeah sorry about that thank you that's it uh miss uh lori withrow you should be able to unmute yourself you just identify your name address and the school you are associated with if you wish to do so thank you thank you seth larry withrow 62 and rhino road i just i guess i just want to follow up on what the previous two public commenters said about the classrooms and the juggle of the teachers in particular i've heard things for hatherley school with the third grade class jenkins with teachers moving around and then maybe something at wampa tech as well and the reason why i wanted to comment was you know i've been i've attended school meetings for probably 15
080years now and a lot of those things previously came up at budget meetings where it was talks of oh where you have to maybe drop a teacher at this school and move it over to that school and we're seeing enrollment after kindergarten registrations in january so at the end of may hearing this and really feeling for some of the teachers that i've you know maybe they're being affected of getting more students in the classroom next year or um parents really feeling some angst of what's happening to my youngster who over the past couple years has already had a hard time with covid and academics and they're already behind maybe in some areas is that i i see some here some stress for some maybe for definitely for parents and maybe some teachers of things that
081are going on and i guess it's the unknown is that there really has not been it's more hearsay going around and people are just worried so now we thought maybe we would hear it tonight with um miss driscoll and then that's being moved for another couple weeks so i just i guess i just wanted to make a point of you know people are just concerned of what's what's happening and what's going on with the elementary schools so i heard it in those other two i wasn't planning on talking but i just wanted to jump in and just hear that you know maybe just give some history that years ago we always heard that in those budget workshops if there was going to be and that's where parents were able to advocate for a grade and
082say oh we really need a teacher or a principal was able to really fight for we really need this and we never heard that in the february budget talks so i'm just not sure where all of a sudden it's coming from now but thank you mrs withrow and i would agree with you i think um yeah i don't think i think we need to hear from heidi driscoll and her team and see sort of where we're at and i would say it's totally valid to be worried you know when here that there could be changes to you know the school buildings sure 100 i think um the message right now is just nothing's been taken away nothing's been decided so it's all very much open and still on the table so um well i agree
083i wish we didn't have to wait until the 13th because i also had similar questions and was concerned i think um you know where we're at for now is to just um kind of wait until then and we will get the update but no no teachers have been there's no um plan to take away any teachers or um you know remove any current staff and miss brendalini you do not have any other hands raised virtually thank you hi laurence 679 country way so i'll see most of what i was going to say um next meeting and i'll see you then but um i just wanted to say to you as committee members you could um i know you don't discuss things outside of meetings much or i know there's a certain way it works but
084if you as committee members can think about um what your commitment is to small class sizes what your um you know what um your expectations as committee is first for smaller class sizes um and if you um could possibly think about i came here in october 2019 for the same reason and i got a lot of support there was talk about captaining at 20 he has a policy but then of course five months later coveted and we had bigger fish to fry so i just would hope as committee members you could just think about what your um you as a committee member um want to do and possibly consider upholding smaller class sizes as a matter of policy not having to go through this every year um especially at having where we're the smallest and
085most have two sections um we seem to always be the school and our particular grade the current third grade seems to be the class that gets cut obviously or it gets you know 25 kids in a fourth grade after two years of coping and then increased workload and everything else it is unacceptable and i would really hope as a committee we can and if you can facilitate a change in that thank you thank you hi kathleen twomey 84 in townsville um i guess i was just wondering you know it's not necessarily anybody's getting caught um so it's curious and that means you know maybe shuffling but what if there's a need to add more is there any option there or is that just it is what it is or we can discuss on the 13th
086okay to be conscientious of you know teachers and their contracts and teachers union members and you know i just want to make sure we're having our discussions um conscientiously and thoughtfully i don't you know so that's why i think it's better if we have our administrators present and assistant superintendent who can kind of guide that discussion from their roles um again totally recognizing that it's annoying having to wait um another two weeks for something that i know is you know it's your children so it's extremely important and you know i think at this point it's you know kind of like um with rose said she named three schools all at cushing in i think it's it's an elementary concern in general right now um so i think it's something that does need you know attention
087and we need the people here to give us the facts and give us the right answers um and we're not exactly the best people but i think we need to hear from them who are analyzing collecting following tracking you know understanding and working with the staff um so i'd like to hear from them as well and i would just have been on the committee for 10 years i mean i've seen three superintendents i've always been a conversation throughout the year it's not you know the budget could get finalized enable account meeting and that's it it's something that's continually looked at both by the committee of the administration to you know come up with the best solution i think you know we're just we're not worried about the delay we're nervous right about what's going to
088happen so i'm just glad that you're there's flexibility 100 bucks i had a comment thanks so much for the but i think that it's important this is kind of a premature discussion but as we're moving forward with this msba project where we most likely hopefully will have a new school i think it's important for folks to realize that potentially one of the benefits of district-wide school is that we don't necessarily have this issue okay it's something that i think is important not saying we won't have it i think it minimizes the chance that you might have 25 kids in the classroom because you can move it to another classroom it's most likely would be under that so this is we don't know that that would take care of the issue but something to think about
089as we proceed with the msba you know probably most of us in here maybe our kids will be won't be participating at the elementary level but it doesn't mean you shouldn't be concerned because the community are concerned about every family and not just the fourth grade so it's important as we design the new school potentially and improve it as a town we need to make sure that we recognize the pros and cons of of the country neighborhood schools versus the district-wide schools that was true when we did yeah that was one of the major pros to the um that grade level configuration was you divide the total but you know like you get the even numbers in every room it won't even be like well this school has a classroom with 17 and this one
090has 21 which is still okay 21 might be might be okay with 21 but you know 16 over here and 21 over here would be that was one of the pros but well i i think i like i thank you for all the all the parents who emailed us i mean i don't think i'll be able to answer every single one no no it's okay um i think we're all all committed to low class sizes we always have been and and there are times when um you know depending on the population of the children at a school comparable comparing them to other elementary schools you know staff met might have to move like there has been times where a teacher will have you don't have to go to another elementary school it's not ideal but
091it does help with lowering that class size and nothing is set in stone you know it's it's fluid and um i you know i'm very confident that the administration can be very creative and figure out class sizes yeah i agree 25s but thank you for all your emails so just to clarify i'm sorry about the uh um there's no there has been no teacher cuts as of now so regardless of what our principal has told staff and parents that things are status quo right so there's still two like there's two fourth grades right now but this is shannon was slated to come back so that would be funny so i just wanted to play yeah i think i think all the questions can be answered with heidi i think we need to wait for heidi
092to come back and i'm not i'm like i know i don't know i don't know of any cups so i think we're just confused because we're hearing one thing from our school it sounds like they're just not being backfilled like from retirement so they're not being laid off but there's from what i know personally at least two positions are not being no being backfield but i could be wrong because we haven't yeah i mean we're not privy to all that i know but we are absolutely going to get an update from superintendent assistant superintendent driscoll on the 13th wish it could have been today but yeah um it wasn't so but is there anything else we can do in the meantime is concerning parents well i think you've done the advocacy part it's definitely you
093know your concerns have been heard i think administration is on top of it um you know i guess the question that you had would be one for me is like okay what where where are all these you know theories of what's gonna happen coming from so that's what i'd like to know um more about i'd like to get my information from administration in terms of staffing so if it's kind of coming through parents that concerns me about a breakdown somewhere in the chain um so hopefully we can get that clarified for all of us by june 13th and then hear from ms driscoll on exactly what the current state of business is at all the elementaries yes i'm just going to say if i could ask anything if parents is trus if we've built up
094any trust with our community over the past year or whatever for me it's only been not 10 10 9 or 10 months but if i've built up that trust i'm asking that while the next two weeks are challenging to wait because i'm also a parent at hatherly and i understand that you trust that we are hearing you that that as janet said we are reading every single email that comes in even if we're not responding to all of those emails we are asking very hard questions of our school leadership and i'm going to say demanding answers because each one of the school committee members cares deeply about the experience of each student and so i would just ask that you give us that trust um for a couple weeks and know that we are keeping
095our eye on this and looking forward to hearing mriscale's report and we were equally um disappointed that she couldn't be here but clearly there was a family emergency that could not be avoided so i think the only other thing i would add to it is people do have questions you know don't go running to facebook you know send them to the school committee i i know you're not saying thanks but you know send emails to this we'll commend you with those questions to the administration and make sure that that gets to the right people ahead of the meeting on the 13th i'm not promising every question would be answered but at least you know there's some strong themes coming out of the emails we received now it's you know making sure either we ask those
096questions because we hear it coming from a parent or it goes directly to the administration uh miss brendolini we do uh kerry's phone you should be able to meet yourself just identify your name and uh address and or school yours hi my name is carrie mason i live at 11 sherman drive and i have two kids at hatherley and i know that you know it has everything to do with what we've been discussing and i know that you can't really comment and we're going to wait for two weeks um but i i guess my only request would be that my two children are actually directly affected by some of the i guess hearsay rumors that i've been that i've been hearing about class sizes um and i would like for you to consider um moving
097this meeting as closer um as close as possible you know i know that it's june 13th but however this is the end of the school year and we're just hearing about this and which leaves parents really no options um for myself i have a child a fourth going to be fourth grader that is on an iep and another child that is in the plc um and so the class size is absolutely detrimental to their learning and had i known that there was a risk of their class size being larger i would have definitely come up with some type of a backup plan or i would have considered it i would have investigated it and i know i'm not alone in that and so i think to leave this to the meeting until when there's two
098weeks left of the school year is just not acceptable in my eyes that is not being transparent that's not being informative i don't feel like an informed parent i feel like i heard somebody comment earlier saying that they you know these budgets and considerations are an ongoing discussion throughout the year well how come we're just hearing of these things at the end of the school year um so i would really like to request um that the the meeting be moved to as close as possible so that families can make informed decisions and um plan for what they feel is going to be best for their child in the coming year thank you thank you um to read this i have made a formal request in accordance to matching to public records law for a meeting
099minutes that detail the decision to withdraw the early separation incentive that was offered to the situation school staff i've also requested to review the supporting documentation that supported this decision i.e actual number of staff that have submitted their applications for retirement to close the school year the number that was in the superintendent's head that would be needed to proceed and how the school committee voted on this motion to withdraw the offer i'm asking the school committee to reconsider the withdrawal and honor the commitment to show appreciation for those that were first responders and stay committed to the school system through being pandemic i honestly can see can't see how this would not benefit both staff in town and would wouldn't negatively impact the town financially here's an example five retirees at five hundred thousand and
100annual salaries replacing those five employees at ninety percent of their salaries would save fifty thousand in annual payroll the incentive would have been roughly five thousand per and retiree for a total payout of twenty five thousand the town would still be ahead by twenty five thousand uh the committee spoke about honoring first responders they spoke about creating payroll expenses they spoke about maintaining staffing levels if all this was heartfelt and genuine i request the committee to move forward with the early separation incentive regardless of how many have enrolled it's truly a win-win situation that won't break the bank and demonstrates goodwill thank you all right um we will do uh approval of our five minutes all right lawrence there is one warrant on the warrant is s220505 total of one hundred and thirteen thousand twenty
101three thousand dollars items of significance out of the school lunch revolving account ten thousand two hundred and seventy three dollars and two cents for food and paper products out of the circuit breaker revolving account nineteen thousand six hundred and two dollars and sixteen cents to private schools uh out of grant the 252 grant 7 730 out of our local budget the only item of significance is out of athletic contracted services and thirty 20 dollars for game officials and peak therapy which is a contracted service for an athletic trainer thank you dr dutch correspondences or any of the other business future agenda items anyone um involvement um yeah i had a few i wanted to review our operating protocols and procedures and i i just email you all about um we'll be doing a little bit
