001There we go. We are recording. Okay. Welcome everyone to the April 9th, 2025 meeting of the class school committee. This meeting is being called on an emergency basis as to comply with the various time constraints associated with the Massachusetts School Building Authorities core program process statement of interest process. At this time, I'm going to ask all members who are present to please indicate so and roll call. Mr. Dial, present. Mrs. Leleski, present. The chair is present. Craig Mlullen. Um, Mr. Carr may join us. Uh, as we are in progress and Mrs. Hannah is unavailable, but we do have a quorum of three members, so we will proceed with the meeting. We'll move right into the first order of business. This meeting uh only has two agenda items and those are both related. They're the approval
002of submission of the statement of interest for the Kosa Middle School and approval of a statement of interest to the master school building authorities core program for the Kosa High School. We have to vote on them individually as two separate schools even though they are in the same building and any project would contemplate uh a a one building project but this is the way that they have asked us or required us to submit. So that's what we are doing. They have very specific voting language and so it's about a paragraph long. We've done this three times before and I'm going to read the paragraph and then ask for a motion to that effect to be made. I see superintendent Shan Ted uh Mr. Carr is in the um participant section now. We'll just wait for
003him before we take the motion. There he is. Okay, just to confirm, Mr. Carr, can you hear us? Yes, I can. Sorry about that. I had to find the passcode. No worries at all. You're looking good, and we're happy to have you here. Um, we're just about to move into I was just saying that we need to take a vote uh that has very specific language. So, I'm going to read that language. You may remember this from prior years, Mr. Carr. I'm going to read that language and ask for a motion to that exact effect. And it takes a few minutes because I have to read a paragraph long form of vote that the MSBA requires. And we have to take a motion for each school, the Kassa Middle School and the Kassa High School.
004And those are the only two agenda items for the meeting. Okay. Yep. All right. So, we're going to turn to the middle school first. Uh, could I have a motion to the effect that having convened in an open meeting on April 9th, 2025, prior to the SOI submission closing date, the Cohasset School Committee, in accordance with its charter, bylaws, and ordinances, has voted to authorize the superintendent of schools to submit to the Massachusetts School Building Authority the statement of interest form dated April 10th, 2025 for the Cohasset Middle School located at 143 Pawn Street in Cohasset, Massachusetts, which describes and explains the following deficiencies in the priority. categories for which an application may be submitted to the Massachusetts School Building Authority in the future. For priority number five, replacement, renovation, or modernization of school facility
005systems such as roofs, windows, boilers, heating, and ventilation systems to increase energy conservation and decrease energy related costs in the school facility. And number seven, replacement of or addition to obsolete buildings in order to provide for a full range of programs consistent with state and approved local requirements. and hereby further specifically acknowledges that by submitting the statement of interest form, the Massachusetts School Building Authority in no way guarantees the acceptance or the approval of an application, the awarding of a grant or any other funding commitment from the Massachusett School Building Authority or commits the Cohassid School District to filing an application for funding with the Massachusett School Building Authority.
