So, thank you for joining us this evening and uh if you want to come right up to the podium and if you push that button on the right hand side, I can turn that microphone on and I'll flip my hourglass and you can go ahead. >> All right, >> there you go. >> Good evening members of the school board. My name is Lindsay Hawkins. I reside in Waterboro and I'm here on behalf of my son who played on the high school football team. I'm speaking here tonight because his pads for were wrongfully taken by
005the school's athletic department and nearly a year later this still hasn't been resolved. At the end of last year's football season in November of 2024, we received an email stating that all equipment had to be removed from the lockers. My son went in that Friday, but his pads were already gone. When I contacted the head coach, he said it was an oversight and assured us that these would be returned. Later, we were told the pads were sent for refurbishment or reconditioning and we would get them back by April 2025. That never happened. Recently, the athletic director claimed anything left behind or abandoned becomes school property. These were not abandoned. My son went in to get them within the required time frame and they were gone. This situation has dragged on for a year now and
006at every step I've been patient and cooperative. Tonight, I'm asking for the board to take action. Specifically, I'm requesting the return of my son's football pads, or if that's no longer possible, reimbursement for their value, a formal apology to my son and our family, and appropriate accountability for or disciplinary action for those responsible for this mishandling. No parent should have to spend nearly a year trying to recover property that was taken in error, especially when the facts have been acknowledged from the beginning. I'm asking for fairness, resolution, and for a better oversight to ensure this doesn't happen to another student or athlete. Thank you for your time, and I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thank you. Is there any other public comment this evening? Next up for my board chair report, I just have
007a couple things. Actually, nope. I'm going to back that up and actually read the agenda. Uh, we're going to start off with recognitions and celebrations. So, um, Mr. Lawrence, if you want to come up and kick that off for us, that would be great. This is our, um, athletics director, Danny Lawrence. >> Good evening. I am the athletic director, Danny Lawrence. Um, thank you for taking the time to help us acknowledge a few of the many 451 athletes we had this fall. Um, I would like to first start off by recognizing some of our um, coaches who are going to discuss our female soccer player for today. Uh, if we could have Matt Gould, our head girls coach, come up, Maria Buck and Sophie Manning, as well as Emily Smeagielski. Uh, I am Matthew Gould.
008I am the head varsity girls soccer coach. I'm joined with Maria Buck, Sophia Manning, who are two assistants on the team, and Emily Smeagielski, our starting goalkeeper. Today we'd like to recognize a big achievement for any student athlete uh that they can get which is the allconerence uh allconerence award. The allconerence award is a award that the SMAA, which is the Southern Main Athletic Activities Association, votes on and where coaches in the league vote on the best student athletes in their given positions. This year, Emily Smeagielski was voted second team all conference uh and had a tied vote of two in between um the goalie position and there are eight nominated goalies for this year. Um Emily Smeiggelski Oh wow, sorry. Emily getting voted uh second team shows that all the other coaches in the
009league recognized uh her hard work and effort on the field. Um with Emily Smeagielski, she had a total of 134 saves in the season with a saving percentage of 75% and averaged around 20 saves a game. When we're looking at those stats, it is very impressive on keeping the ball out of the net. She was peppered with shots and was asked to constantly make those saves again and again and again. Earning this award shows that the hard work and effort did not go unnoticed and Emily is welld deserving of it. Uh, thank you for letting me Wow. Thank you for letting me take your time and recognize a great achievement for one of our student athletes that have earned definitely earned it. >> Great. Congratulations, Emily. Sticking with our theme of soccer, uh unfortunately our
010men's head coach could not be here. Uh in true fashion, he is uh hunting this week, so I couldn't even get a hold of him to get Shawn's stats. Um which I know are incredibly impressive. So I would like to call Shawn Azera up Sean. Sean is our goalkeeper for uh men's soccer. Uh I am not a soccer guy. I was a football coach for a while. Um but I leave every soccer game so impressed with this young man. Um the opposing teams leave our facilities going, "Hey, that's a really good goalkeeper." U because he is phenomenal to watch. Um he has been recognized as third team allconerence um honorable mention, which is incredibly impressive for the 17 schools that we compete with. uh and their soccer programs. So, the fact that he was in
011the mix and representing Mass Music High School was uh phenomenal. Um it's even more impressive uh because I think our record was not great and historically is not great. So, when we have uh individual athletes stand out even within that record and shine at these meetings with all of our league, it's very very impressive. Um Sean is not only a a fantastic keeper, he's also an amazing young man. Uh he always is working with our younger athletes. Um so you'll see him. I actually posted a picture in one of our newsletters of Sean out there working with our JV goalkeeper before the JV matches. Um he's a great leader. He leads by example. He's always kind. Um if you missed him this fall, make sure you see him on the basketball court because he's also
012a varsity basketball player. He's also one of our outdoor track and field athletes. Um so I'm very pleased that you guys took the time to recognize Shawn Azera. Perfect. Congratulations, John. >> And lastly, uh I'd like to recognize Abigail Gilly. Abby Gilly. Um Abby was unable to make it. They have a a family um medical event today that they were unable to make it for. So, I'm hoping that's going okay for them. Uh but Abby had went to Vermont, Thatford, Vermont this past weekend. She had qualified for New England Championships. Um in order to qualify for the New New England Championships in cross country, she had to be top 25 out of class A, B, and C. So that's very unique for a sport. Um typically we're either class A or you're class B and
013does class B, be class A. We don't never ever know. In track and cross country, um you do know uh because we compare those times. So Abigail was 10th overall in the class A and she was 17th overall in class A, B and C, top 25 from the state of Maine, representing the state of Maine in Theftford, Vermont for New England Championships. Um she's had a fantastic career thus far. Um her grandfather, her guardian is also our new head indoor track and field coach. Um he's with us for Trailblazers in the summer, cross country, middle school, indoor track, middle school outdoor track, outdoor track at the high school. Um and is all things track and field and cross country. So, we're very excited that him and Abigail were successful this season and we're looking forward
014to seeing a little bit speed from her um this indoor season which starts on Monday. So, not much of a break for her. So, uh it's I'm sorry I couldn't present this to her in front of you today. I'm sure all of you know Abby and uh if you don't, you'll see her posted all over for her successes here at Mass Bees High School. So, once again, thank you very much for taking the time to recognize some of our student athletes. Um great night. Thanks, Danny. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> No, there. >> No, that's okay. All right. Uh, moving on. Couple things from my board chair report. Uh, I first wanted to welcome Megan Arshambo. She's our newest board member from Lyman. So, welcome, Megan. We're happy to have you. Um she went through
015new schoolboard school board member orientation with Dr. Marque and I a couple weeks ago. She's on the policy committee. Was at that meeting last week. So, and then kicking it off this tonight with her first board meeting. Um I was going to give a brief overview of the MSMA conference. I'm going to do it real quick. So, uh five board members, Walker, um Dr. Marquee and Dr. Doyle, we went up to the conference and I know that we spoke about that a little bit last time, but I wanted to quickly go over for I know that it's hard for everyone. Not everyone can make it up there, but I would encourage you next fall if you are able to attend the MSMA conference. It really is very beneficial. You're um collaborating with other board members.
016You get to meet other board chairs, board members, superintendents from all over the place. And there are representatives there from places like Drummond Woodsome. You get to speak with them. and uh Busright was up there. So I was checking them out. Um and so we went through Anastasia and I on Wednesday went up there a day early and attended the board chair workshop. So any of you that are an aspiring board chair and want to go up there next year for that, that was really great to sit in a room with board chairs and vice chairs and talk about real, you know, in the- moment experiences that boards are having right now. Um our only negative thought about that workshop was that it wasn't long enough. We could have used you get us in a
017room, all board chairs are like to talk. So, um and we would have I think we would have all sat there all day. Um but then um the board members that went up and Walker and um Stephen Amanda, we attended a ton of clinics around if if there's anything that you're interested in when it comes to um serving on the board, they have a clinic for it. So, we went to clinics on collective bargaining, um board power and authority. There was a clinic about play for all, which was accessible play areas that Suzanne went to that she said was fantastic. Um, there was a policy primer. That was Beth's favorite clinic. Uh, the legal year in review. There was a couple clinics regarding cell phone policies, how to implement them, what to do with them.
018Um, and then my favorite, Robert's rules of order 101. So, um, for those of you who are available next fall, I highly encourage you to, um, try and get even if you can go up just for one day. So, it's Thursday and Friday. Um, Thursday is definitely the day. That's when all the vendors are there when you can really speak to the representatives. So, um, if you're able to attend, we would love to see you up there because it really is, um, quite an experience. Lastly, um I am looking for a board volunteer to serve on the everyone graduates committee. We've had two volunteers serving on that for the past several years. One of them is not able to anymore. So, um looking for somebody else to serve on that. They're going to start building
019their meeting schedule. previous years, correct me if I'm wrong, they've been meeting on a weekday before school, like a 7 7:30 meeting time, one day a month. Is that >> y Wednesday? >> Like a Wednesday morning. >> So once a month. So if you are interested in serving on that, just shoot me an email. I have I'd like to let Tai know um by the end of the week so that they can start building their meeting schedule for the year. So again, that's for the everyone graduates committee. that's around policy. I'm going to spit out a JCB. I want to say JCB. Um which is about um graduation rates and and all of that. So if you're interested in that, please let me know. Jen, >> uh the first one's going to be December 2nd
020and it's going to be Tuesdays this year. >> Tuesdays. >> And it's on like Google Meet, so you don't get to like you just do it from home and >> Okay. I didn't know that. So, thank you. So, Tuesday mornings Google Meets. All right. Perfect. Thanks, Jen. Um, but unless there are any questions, that's all I have. I'll turn things over to Dr. Marky for the superintendent report. >> Okay. We'll begin with Zoe and Walker. >> Okay. Good evening everyone. Um, so the recent edition of the student representative report, we started by talking about Waterborough Elementary. They recently had an flannel and autumn color themed spirit day.

Uh they also collaborated with the main department of education who made a special geometry station and an MDOE specialist visited the school the next day. Shapley Memorial had a scholastic book fair during the final week of October.

And the fundraiser was able to raise well over $1,000 to support students at the school in the PTSA. Lion Elementary is hosting a Thanksgiving food drive which concluded on November 7th. They've been collecting numerous shelf stable items to assist families in their community. The book fair at the school will be running from the 12th to the 14th of November. And the cafeteria was recently transformed into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with numerous staff members dressed in Wonka attire. Families uh have been encouraged to check the overflowing lost and found bin before
024all items were donated. On the 7th of November at Lyman, there was a there will be a Veterans Day assembly on the 14th and on the 20th there will be a family STEM night. The book fair will be held the week that begins on the 17th and parent teacher conferences began this week. 23 students were recently recognized for being the model Mustangs during the month of October and students selected as model Mustangs participate in a special lunch to celebrate their achievement. I'll turn it over to Zoe for the second half of our report. Thank you. >> Good afternoon everyone. I'll start off a little bit about the about Masterpiece Middle School. They will have two buses running for their ski and snowboard club. U final payments for that club will be due in early December.
025Um and the cafeteria has introduced a few new items that students can purchase during the school day, including bottle water and switch, which is a sparkling 100% juice drink. Eighth graders are completing uh clay animation short films in their art classes. music production will be scoring films and uh students will be learning the ins and outs of those claimations. From October 20th to the 24th, MMS had a penny war that raised money for disabled American veterans and they will also be planning flags outside of the building. Each flag representing a different hero. Winter one sports registration opened on October 27th and that season will begin on November 17th. Uh which will be which is basketball and sideline cheering.

Um all those proceedings goes to uh raising purchasing on Okay. All those proceedings are raised to purchase holiday gifts for the district's giving trees and supporting children. Um the M MHS band gave performances of multiple songs to the students in the gym midday midday on Friday the 31st of October of August. Um and this was just a practice um in front of an audience in preparation for their winter concert in December. Sanford marching band earned another gold medal this year um after earning five out of five stars. Students from the band were accepted into the state jazz festival which is one of the most competitive festivals

And as we go on, there will be more honoring veterans through assemblies and teachings, and students will be devoting time to understanding, learning, and appreciating their their dedication, courage, and commitment that veterans have and what the flag means. As Thanksgiving and other holidays are approaching, there are lots of new activities and events and learning opportunities coming as we enter the second quarter of the school year. And that will record that will conclude my report. >> Fantastic job both of you once again. >> Um question had a question. Uh just one I'm I'm intrigued by the MDOE specialist
029in math and the high quality math instruction. Not tonight, but certainly to me it's one of those things that we talked about sharing with the board so we could really see and understand what best practices and high quality instruction look like. So um I would love to see that at a future meeting. Great. Thank you. >> Um as you can see there's a lot going on. I'm going to talk a little bit more about a couple of those points and share a few others. Um, so just over the last couple weeks, it's been very busy around here. Um, it's really a wonderful uh opport anytime I get a chance to go into schools, I I just feel quite honored with the opportunity. Um, some of the highlights over the past two weeks for me personally,
030um, that I think are relevant to the experience for students. Um on October 31st here in this building um there was a trick-or- treat event that was uh led by Mr. O' Conor and our special ed department and uh our little Mustangs program and then um essentially all the various elementary programs in this building where staff really supported uh our students and it was it couldn't have been cuter. Um so I just want to applaud Mr. Oconor and our entire special education department for uh really a enriching opportunity for those kids to experience something special. Um, last Thursday night I had the honor and privilege to uh attend National Honor Society induction and uh under the direction of of Walker as co-president and Bin Bashara as well as um Miss Stevenson the um facilitator, the
031uh coordinator, the lead mentor of National Honor Society. It was just really a a wonderful evening and it was it was also extra special seeing Zoe Anthony um inducted into National Honor Society last week. >> Um on the 7th I spent uh uh the majority of the day at the middle school um visiting classrooms. Last week I was in all of our schools, but in particular the middle school visit um was a little more sustained and uh with many many highlights, but one that I wanted to share with you because we really haven't had it in the past at this degree was um our our new music educator that we moved from elementary level band to the middle school because of all the complexity of doing um elementary band in five schools with one individual
032with it just was not really a sound um uh really plan for that program. So on u the 7th last Friday, I was had the good fortune of seeing Mr. Milano um in really uh Malazo, sorry, said it incorrectly. He was teaching 13 students how to play the guitar and uh the kids were so um tuned into him and it was it was quite nice to see um kids with varying abilities. Uh there was one student in particular that really understood the guitar and others that really wanted to. So um uh it and he has a number of groups that he's teaching the guitar with um or two. So really just a wonderful hire for us. Um today was uh an extra special day. If you ever get the opportunity to attend the Chappley Memorial
033School Veterans Day breakfast, um our fifth graders really lead most of the event, but all students are engaged and uh veterans come in and uh Miss Penny and her entire staff just do um in all my years in education, I've never seen it done so well. and um and I you can just see the the joy and the appreciation on the part of those that are being celebrated and honored. In particular, two highlights for me were watching the National Junior Honor Society. No, sorry, the National um the NJOTC still have you on my mind, guys. um the the ROC students um doing colors under the direction of Captain Howell and uh just they did it quite well and the cutest thing was our prek singing a song and um a couple kids all of the
034students were singing very loudly and a few you could just hear them so distinctly um those four and five year olds really primarily four year olds Um want to also share that tomorrow morning myself um Mr. Walsh um Dr. Doyle and um Mr. Newton will be um really showing some appreciation for our transportation department will be heading down there in the morning to cook breakfast for them. And then next week on the 20th and 21st um part of the new middle school um redesign of allied arts is um one of the programs is really about STEM education and Mrs. Thorne is doing a tremendous job getting kids excited about engineering and design. So next week they'll be working through the blueprint engineering kits as part of a challenge to um and they'll be presenting and
035I'll be um uh joining them for it. um designs for new rides under a kind of a a program for Six Flags. So, uh Miss Thorne's doing a nice job. Um because that program impacts all kids in the district when they go through um when I shared last week that at the conference I won a $500 um check, I'll be donating it to Mrs. thorns program um to buy some some needed supplies um that would impact all kids that go through that program. Um want to share three more quick points. Odyssey of the Mind, this district's had a rich history with Odyssey of the Mind that um really has um not been sustained in recent years. So, um due to uh a number of uh um folks that really are passionate about it, um we'll
036be re-implementing that. Um there's some work underway to do a pilot at Lion School and um getting the some people um engaged and hopefully looking to expand that for for students. We want to really when we talk about education, we talk about um really creating whole kids, right? It's about arts and athletics and community service. And as we expand our opportunities for kids, um we all benefit. So that's underway. Also, donations. Recently, we've been um doing food drives at all of our schools. It looks like the government shutdown is is coming to a close, but that doesn't mean that there still isn't going to be need moving forward. So, we've received um some many many helping hands providing support to those that are currently in need. So, I just want to commend all of uh
037our greater community for supporting those efforts. And back to the student report, the marching band, even though it's called the Sanford Marching Band, we have I think more kids in that band than uh than Sanford does. So, um just want to put that out there that our students that are on that in that group are really excelling. And then lastly, something that we'll be working with our administrators on, we're going to probably look to change that uh penny wars to just penny challenges, just more positive. So, um, that concludes my comments for tonight. >> Thank you. Any questions, comments? All right. Next up, standing committees policy. Beth, um, we met last week. I think it was last week. Um, and we are starting to wrap up the D policies, which are the finance policies. We
038have a few more for on the next agenda, but they're kind of stragglers coming in in the end. We have one coming back tonight for a first read and I will read an email from Colin. A little lengthy but um we'll get to that. >> Right. We love you Paul. >> Just kidding. >> Um and then next up we'll we'll start up with the E policies which are my favorite. Environmental health and safety. That's what I do for actual job. So um excited for those. I'm going to bring all of those back for first reads. And uh just kidding. Um and our next meeting is Wednesday, December 3rd, just so she can read them three times. Uh any questions for Beth on policy? Finance. Wes, >> congrats on getting your college degree. >> Great job.
039>> Finance has not met since the last meeting. We meet next on November 25th at 6 PM in this room. Thank you. >> Perfect. Thank you. Human Resources Anastasia. >> We have not met since the last meeting. Our next meeting is next Wednesday the 19th at 6 PM right here. >> Perfect. >> Uh we have no old business, so we will move on to new business. We have a first read of policy DIA. Beth. >> Um, so in your backup will be DIA and it is a finance policy. So one of the questions that came up while we were going through it was um the change in the amount. So Colin had gone through this ahead of time obviously before and in there we kind of noted at the policy committee meeting that he raised
040the amount to from 5,000 to $10,000. Um, and so we asked that question ahead of time in case anybody wanted to know. Um, and so I'm going to read his response back. So in section A, I don't know if you everybody has the policy open here. Um, under so at the very top it changes from fixed assets to capital assets. Um and so his response to that was capital asset is the proper governmental accounting standards board Gatsby term and this changed several years ago. So this change is to align with that terminology. And then further down when we talked through Cy changed it from $5,000 to $10,000 on each of those. This will be lengthy but sorry. Gasb statement number 34 was effective in June of 2002. That standard requires depreciation of capital assets and
041establishment of a policy. In 2002, the threshold of $5,000 was adopted and it has been at that level since RSU57's policy. With 20 plus years since the implementation, a lot has changed, including costs of assets. In talking with our auditors, it was recommended that costs since have increased and the administrative burden to track the assets has have increased that we should consider increasing the capitalization threshold. Many government entities and school districts have increased this threshold several times in 23 years and we have not. For these reasons, we recommend changing to $10,000. This threshold was also reviewed and agreed upon with our auditors. So that is the reason for the increase. Um he also mentions this policy only affects the audit this love this sentence here. This policy only affects the audited financial statements and does
042not impact the fund financial statements or affect how we present budgeted financial statements only the governmentwide financial statements presented in the audit report. Thank you Colin. Um, this change allows for us to be in alignment with government standards in an efficient manner. So, if anybody has any more questions about the changes in it or if you want any further clarification from Colin, let us know. He was going to be here tonight to explain it, but he sent his um his message instead. So, if anybody has more questions about it, send them along and we'll get it done before the second read. >> All right. Thanks. So um first before any questions or discussion let's um I will look for a motion to accept the first >> read was that D. All right we have a
043motion and a second to accept the first read. Is there any discussion? Uh, Jen, >> no, I was just going to say maybe in that first paragraph to actually write out what the GASB is and then you could have, >> you know, the acronym and the rest of it just for people who don't know. Like everybody but Colin. Yes. All right. Any other discussion on that? All right. All in favor of accepting the first read. >> That is awesome. So, we'll bring that back. Uh, policy meets on December 3rd. So, we'll bring this back for the second read on the 10th. We have to do it within that 8week time frame spelled out in policy. Uh, we do not have an executive session this evening. Calendar and announcements are at the bottom of your agenda.
044Quickly before we adjourn, this is our only full school board meeting in November. So, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving to you and your families, to our community, staff and students out there. So, um, enjoy that time off with the people that you love. And we are adjourned. 6:38 p.m.
