001Good evening everyone and welcome to the SKO school board meeting for January 28th, 2026 at 5:00 pm. Would like to call the meeting to order. Would you please join me for the pledge of allegiance? Thank you everyone. And I would like to make note of all schoolboard members present with the exception of school board member Richards who has been excused. And we do have Superintendent Ray with us this evening. Okay. Item number three is the approval of the school board meeting minutes dated January 14th, 2026. Is there a motion? Madame Mayor, >> school board member Truman. >> I move we approve the school board meeting minutes dated January 14th, 2026. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> Second by school board member Prebble. Any discussion or comment on the minutes? >> Okay, not seeing
002any. Roll call vote. School board member Waroff. >> Yes. >> Schoolboard member Prebble, >> yes. >> School board member Roach, >> yes. >> School board member KD, >> yes. >> School board member Truman, >> yes. >> And school board member Johnston, >> yes. >> Motion passes 6. Okay, moving on to item number four. There is no adjustments to the agenda this evening. Item number five, there is no correspondence. Item number six is public session. If there are any members of the public wishing to speak, please step forward to the podium, state your name and address for the record, and you will have three minutes to address the school board. >> Good evening. My name is Heather Palmer. I live in Old Orchard Beach, but I work for SACO schools. Superintendent Rar, respected board members, and
003soccer residents. I appreciate this opportunity to address you tonight. My name is Heather Palmer, and I stand before you not just as an edtech at Young School, but as a bus monitor for the Saco Transportation Department. In our classrooms, I help our students learn, but on the bus, I watch them survive. I'm here to tell you that our current safety measures are failing the reality test. From my seat on the bus, I witness a terrifying routine. vehicles blowing past our stopped buses, ignoring the flashing reds and disregarding the stop arm while our children are stepping onto the pavement. We are all aware of the heartbreaking tragedies in Rockland and Stish that claimed the lives of two main students recently. Those were not accidents. They were warnings and right now we are ignoring them. It is
004baffling that the main turn authority has the technology to automatically track a total evasion. Yet we send our children onto the roads without similar automated technology to catch those who endanger their lives. Why is a lost toll treated with more technological seriousness than a lost child? Governor Mills has proposed over 4 million in immediate safety funding for this purpose. The money is there. The technology exists. The grant funds are available. My question is simple. Why are personal passenger vehicles equipped with better safety sensors and cameras than the yellow buses carrying our community's future? Even most personal vehicles today come equipped with backup cameras to ensure increased spatial awareness. We cannot wait for a tragedy to put SACO on the news. I am asking you to immediately pursue the state safety grants currently available to equip
005our FE fleet with automated stop arm camera enforcement. We are obligated to do our best and right now we are not. How can we do better? And is there any valid reason why we aren't doing it now? I know the quick answer will be funding limitations, but if we tap into that grant money, we can put the ball in motion and the fines collected from those red runners could presumably absorb and offset additional costs. I thank you for the your time this evening and I hope you'll take this matter seriously. Thank you. >> Thank you, Heather. Any other members of the public wishing to speak? Okay, not seeing anyone seeking recognition. Moving on to item seven, that is the superintendence report. Superintendent Ray. >> All right, good evening everyone. Um, just to to update you
006just on the grant money. That money, my understanding is the $4.3 million is in her supplemental budget and would not be available unless that's passed by legislature this coming June. So, my understanding is it's not grant money yet unless it gets into that budget. So, just as as we follow those bills throughout the spring, um first and foremost, I would like to ask everybody um to have a moment of silence uh for Paul Foley. Uh last week, we lost a colleague in the bus department. Um and he was someone who was with the district for almost 30 years. Um and just heartbreaking situation for us. So moment of silence for Paul, please. Thank you. Paul was a beloved uh bus driver who um gave everything he had to the children in this community and to
007his colleagues. Um, and while it was a very tough situation, um, for our bus department, uh, we did have an opportunity to share many great stories and and fond memories of Paul here in the district. Uh, and there will be, um, there will be a burial later this spring um that we will pass information on to once the family has made all those final decisions. Um when we talk about budget update, uh the first draft of the budget is done. We have reviewed with principles. Now we are just fine-tuning and hoping uh that by the end of the week we'll have a better idea of what state subsidy numbers will be so that we can start digging in uh a little bit deeper as February uh comes around. This afternoon we had uh professional development
008in our schools and we worked on prek we worked on interventions for students K through five we were working on NWA data and looking at that and then grades six through eight had a guest speaker from York who u is an expert on middle school and high school implementation of AI. Um, so those were some great opportunities uh for us. For the kiddos in the room, only got about three weeks until we have February vacation. So I hope you're looking forward to that. I think I am. Um, because we know I love a good snow day. I love a good snow day message, too. Can't give me all day sitting around to come up with that stuff. Um and then um one of the things just to touch on the building project, we'll talk about
009it a little bit more. Um is that the road access off Milbrook is where all deliveries are happening now and Route One will be blocked. Um so if you still wanted to park there and walk in, that's okay. But everything's going through Milbrook. Um, and then we had principles and Meg uh were able to go look at furniture. Uh, and I think that we were um at a showroom and I think that we learned that we have a lot to learn about furniture. Uh, and we're really going to have to probably do a little bit more exploring, uh, searching out. Um, they even have an educational, um, like furniture conference that they we've really been advised to attend next year. Um, never thought it would be something so uh big, but I guess when you
010think about the number of square feet that we will be putting from cubbies to bookshelves to desks to tables to all of those things in um you're making a purchase that you're hoping is going to last 15 or 20 years on just the desk type pieces. Um, and making sure that we get that right. So, uh, that's something that will be coming up. So, thank you. Any questions? Any questions or comments for the superintendent? >> School board member Roach. >> First off, my apologies to the finance committee. I could not make the uh meeting uh today at 4:30. But um >> we didn't make it either, Kevin, because things the day got away from us a little bit. >> Okay. All right. So, uh my apologies, but um uh going back to the bus uh
011grant, assume the money was available tomorrow. What is the logistics? Uh you might not have the answer top of your head, but what are the logistics to retrofit buses with uh stop cameras and time frame? So there probably will be like I won't want to talk just to buses, but anything that comes out like this is number one when a bill or budget is passed unless this emergency you don't have funds typically or anything available until 90 days. Correct me? not 12 90 days. So that would be part number one. Then you would be working with your manufacturers because whether you have a Thomas bus or a Bluebird bus or another bus, you're going to have many different types of retrofits that would have to occur. You probably will also be looking at the age
012of your bus and whether the age of the bus will even handle that retrofit. Um, so there's a lot of different pieces um that will go into that. Probably anything newer would be okay. Anything that would be on the older side um maybe a little bit more difficult to install that on. Um and at the same time, when we're always fighting for funds for state subsidy for buses, you can't just necessarily take your older buses and just put them out and say we're not using those. Um because part of the qualifications for new buses in the state of Maine is not only 10 years old, but having at least uh 125,000 miles on those buses, which in this community is actually can be a little bit harder because when you have a bus that typically
013does downtown stops, the amount of miles you put on that bus is very different than the amount of miles that you may put on the bus that handles North Saco. Um, so there will be a lot of those different pieces. Again, I'm interested. I'm assuming someone's done the math of the cost of $4.3 million and what that looks like for buses and whatever. But I don't know. I always get nervous when you put that amount of money out in public that you have this much available for something because very quickly that's usually a higher price. Um, so I don't know. It would it would take some time. Kevin, >> uh last last question. I agree 4.3 million could be sucked up by Portland for example but um but um in SACO itself um would is
014there any tracking going on of where these bus violations are happening like Route One versus you know a back road in North Sako somewhere or is it do we know like where some violations are happening right now? I would I I my guess is is that it's everywhere. I mean, when I hear from guys, it's every road. Um I was actually I was stopped the other morning in SACO, you know, on my way to work. And no, it was taking our students a fair amount of time that morning to all make it to the bus stop and and get on. And I could see the cars behind growing impatient. You could just like say, "Oh, I hope there's no more kids." because you could just see like something was going to happen. We send that
015stuff to the police department, they act on it. Um, but sometimes the ability to get a license plate or tell what it is is, you know, we want bus drivers watching the road, watching the kids getting on, doing all those things. I mean, I've keep people who will cut not only on the outside, but there's been some of the districts had were showing me some videos of people cutting on the inside. It's it's really more of a public safety piece and we have um worked on some public safety announcements and both of our filmings have been on days that we've been prevented like we were supposed to film on Monday. All right, we had a snow day. So, we're trying to get that stuff out there as a, you know, public awareness campaign is phone
016away, be patient, those types of things. Thank you. Anyone else? Okay, moving on to item seven. That is the chair's report. School board chair Truman. >> Hi. I just have one quick thing. Um we had a presentation back in Octoberish um on Sundays and um after some reflection on that presentation and taking the feedback from the board um I think it would be in the district's best interest to refer this program over to the curriculum committee curriculum that's a hard word today curriculum committee for some deep diving into essentially making this part of our curriculum. Um, I think it would be in the district's best interest if we we did something like that. So, >> thank you. >> Item number nine, staff reports. And apparently this evening we do have student reports that we'll be
017presenting tonight. Right. So, I think >> you guys like to step up. >> Wendy, we're starting with you. Good evening everyone. I'm Wendy Leblanc, principal at Fairfield School and this evening I'm going to share um an afterschool program that we host at Fairfield School called Learning Works. So, I have our director, Sarah Doobie, here to talk about the program and one of our students, Nora, and her family here um to share some of her uh thoughts as well. So, I'm going to turn it over to Mrs. Dubbie, and then Nora will finish us off and if you have any questions at the end, we'd be happy to answer them. Okay. Good evening. My name is Sierra Dubie. I am the after school director for learning works in SACO. Um just wanted to share a little
018bit about the program and just um show how much we love our program. Um so let me give you a little rundown here. So Learning Works SACO is a grant-f funed program supported by the 21st Century Learning Center and SACO schools. Uh thank you. We offer this program free of charge to families with students um with enrollment uh enrollment based on the academic need and teacher recommendations. Our program provides a steam focused learning experience with embedded literacy supports hands-on activities and engaging instruction. We partner with go-to science for our science curriculum and offer students interest based clubs for foster create uh creativity and curiosity. We intentionally teach transferable skills such as time management, organization, teamwork, and responsibility, building habits that support academic success and lifelong learning. Our mission is equipping main learners with the confidence
019and skills to realize their full potential. We are always looking for staff and volunteers to expand our program. And I will let Nora uh introduce herself. And she has a sentence she would like to share before we show you a little video from our students who chose to express what they love about Learning Works. My name is Nora and I'm gonna um do a reading for you. I got to learning works and I love learning works because we made ice cones out of of snow snow and juice. And um the learning works teachers help us. and go pay Patriots. >> Thank you so much, Nora. Um, we do have a video for you um from the students that chose to express um what they love about learning work. So, go ahead and turn your um
020faces to the screen. Hi there. I'm here with Juliana and we're going to talk about what we love about Learning Works. So, Juliana, what do you love about Learning Works? about learning works that we get to watch go to science and right now we're we're learning about manities. >> Thanks for sharing Julia. >> How about you Fen? What do you love about learning works? >> I love about how Kara cat and D and Kara cat was working and the songs was attached to random liquid things and boom it turned into impostory. >> Thanks Ben. Hi Penelopey. What do you love about learning works? >> I love about learning works to learn and what we do um like to do fun stuff. >> Fun stuff. Awesome. I love it. Thanks, Pel. >> Hi. My friends are
021going to sing the go to science theme song for you. Ready? One, two, three. >> Go to science and we'll bring the day to you and we'll do the science with you. >> Hi, Hadley. What do you love about learning works? >> I love about learning works is that that there are amazing people here and I love playing with them. >> Thanks, Hadley. What do you love about learning works? >> I like the like meeting. We did like the like snowball like by the snow greeting and I liked the like um the go to science and I um like the like >> you were saying the painting >> the like painting and I liked to draw on like >> Oh, we did a we did a fun activity where we drew on each other's back
022with a finger >> and then we drew on a piece of paper. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. It was really fun. Thanks, Reisha. Hi, Eloise. What do you love about Learning Works? >> I love all the fun activities we do and all the fun people that we have in the Learning Works group. >> Thanks for sharing. Hey Nora, what do you love about learning works? >> I love that teachers keep you me safe and that I love them. >> A thanks for sharing Nora. Hi Hie. What do you love about learning works? >> I like that we make new friends. >> Yeah, we had a lot of fun with that. We wrote our names on pieces of paper and crumpled them up, threw them, and we had to say hi to that person, didn't we? That
023was fun. Thanks, Holly. All right. What about you, Nina? What do you love about learning arts? >> I love all the kids how they're so nice to >> They're so nice to you. Thanks for sharing that. What about you, Ellie? >> Um, I like about is um you um you can um do um go to science and every day is like a new adventure. >> That's awesome. Thanks, Ellie. So, Learning Works has been at Fairfield for four years and now um we have some CK burn students that have either traveled up from our program and visit um Fairfield at the end of the day or they didn't attend Fairfield and have joined um the program since. I do want to say Nora, you did a great job. And Mrs. Mercier already texted me. Great job,
024Nora. So, I know she's got some fans out there. But we're um I'm happy to take any questions or for Sierra if anybody has any. >> Thank you. Any questions or comments? >> Member Waroff, >> I saw that you had some safety um lessons in there. What kinds of safety lessons have you guys done? Yeah. So, we've done some different things thematic based. Um, so in the winter we talk about snow and ice safety and how wearing winter clothes um is to protect your bodies outside. Um, how certain mittens will repel water. Do a little bit of STEM with that as well. Um, and then we also do like fire safety, bike safety, and um, just like making a safety plan at your house as well as at school. Those are the big ones for
025sure. >> Perfect. Perfect. Thanks. >> Thank you. Anyone else? >> Okay. Sounds like a great program. And Nora, you did an amazing job. Very good. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. Thank you. Good evening everyone. Jeff Mir, principal at Young. I have Lucy here. uh came with dad and older sister. So, thank you for coming tonight. We also have Ivy right here who came with mom and her older sister as well. So, when we talked through what they loved about Young School, Lucy, um come on over here. Um you talked about uh kindness and be the yellow and just what that means to you. So, tell me what what what is um something you love about Young School around what you've told me today? that people are kind and they are nice and we h
026have teachers that are really kind and they do this thing called fun Friday after f on Friday after you do the whole week at at the end of Friday and they like set up a bunch of stuff and so we can have it fun for a little bit after we do school work. And we also have something called be the yellow day at my school where we learn about different things about being kind. And one of them was being kind to the earth which was we planted a garden around our school. That's fantastic. She also said teachers are very kind and but they're strict when they need to be. So she was very clear with me with that today. Right. Okay. Thank you. All right. Ivy, come on over. Ivy mentioned that she loves some
027days at our school. Um so tell us what do you love about some days, Ivy? Some days are where wishes come true. Um, I like how the teachers always make sure that they come true so everyone can have a special day. >> Is there any um some days that stood out to you? You just talked about one from a few days ago that seemed really fun. What was that? >> It was cozy day. Um, and it was a someday, a teacher someday that they that we all of the school wore comfy clothes to school. >> People got to wear pajamas or something comfy, which we know Mr. Mirs loves uh pajama day. Um, does anyone have any questions for us? >> Any questions or comments? Ivy, had you have you had your someday yet? >>
028Nope, not yet this year. >> What's your Sunday? >> A movie to watch with a lot of kids and my sister. >> We do a lot of traveling to Burns and back with siblings. That's probably our most popular someday. >> That's fun. >> All right, great. Thank you both very much. Excellent job. Thank you for coming, >> guys. Thank you. So, I think it was was it >> was the only two? >> Yeah. Was it was it Lucy back there? Is that is that her name? >> Yep. >> Lucy. So, Lucy, I talked to you in the in out there at the water fountain. See how easy it is once you get going to just keep talking. You were great once you got started. I have the same problem. Once I get going, I sometimes
029can't stop up here. Good work. >> We've had two great weeks of students. Thank you to the principles for bringing the kids in to see us. Just kind of gives meaning and purpose to what we're all doing up here. Okay, moving on to item number 10. That is the board subcommittee minutes. Item A is the policy and personnel committee minutes which are included in your packet for the January 14th meeting. and the next meeting is February 11th at 5:30. Item B is the Finance and Infrastructure Committee meeting and the next meeting is January 28th at 4:30. And item C is the curriculum committee and their next meeting is January 26 at 4:30. Item 11, there is no old business this evening. Item 12, under new business. Item A is new hires, there is a memo
030in your packet. Is there a motion? >> Madame Mayor, >> school board member Truman. I move we approve those listed in the stipen section and issue a stipen contract for the 2526 school year. Motion has been made by schoolboard member Truman. Is there a second? >> Second by school board member Johnston. Any discussion or comment on the new hires. Okay. Roll call vote. School board member Waroff. >> Yes. >> School board member Prebble. >> Yes. >> School board member Roach? >> Yes. >> School board member KD? >> Yes. >> School board member Truman? >> Yes. >> And school board member Johnston? >> Yes. Motion passes 6. Okay, moving on to item B. There are no resignations this evening. Item C is a building update. Superintendent Ray. >> All right. So, as we promised, there would
031be a memo u that's included in your pack packet every two week that gives you an update of the work that has been done. It seems like so much gets done in a two-eek period that you sometimes can't even keep up with it. Um we're still trending in that direction that in early March we could have foundation uh that is in for any of the people who do um choose to go for a ride and visit. Like I said the uh while you can't get onto site, but when you drive down Milbrook, you can definitely see um a lot that's going on. Um, we will be putting up gated access now that that road's in there so that we can lock up and make sure that the site is safe. Um, which is important for
032us. Excuse me. Um, and so that piece has gone on. We also met today with a commission uh commissioning agent. Um, Don and I met with the folks with Oak Point so that we can hopefully put forward um who will kind of do the I guess lack of better final inspections uh of everything in the building whether whether that be from the heating systems to making sure that windows don't leak um all of those pieces and then they'll be really the conduit between the school department and let's say an installer if something doesn't go uh as planned. Um, so just a lot going on and, uh, you'll continue to see a lot going on in probably, you know, 12 weeks from now, you may see some real um, real concrete out there in the ground
033and maybe even starting to see by midsummer, I suspect you'll start seeing a structure formed. >> Thank you. Any questions or comments? school by me Truman. >> Just a quick mention that it I was going to ask you to clarify because I thought you said foundation and then I >> you repeated it. So, thank you. I was just surprised like already I was like, "Yeah, >> that's awesome." >> Anyone else? Schoolboard member Roach. >> Um says a line item here for the material excavated for the geom geothermal field. So are funds anything directed from the geothermal monies is that already in play for that or does that come later? >> That will come later. Um because that you know again there's a lot of qualifications and pieces to get through. Um a lot of it
034right now is about the sourcing of um where the equipment comes from. Is it made in the USA? All of those types of things. I think it's next Monday, Meg. We are lined up with another call with the consultants to continue to go through that piece. Um, but we're trying to check every single box so we can get that the that tax, I guess, refund um back our way. But no, this is all project money right now. Okay, great. Thank you. Anyone else? Okay, moving on to item D and that is a summer school memo. Is there any Oh, thank you, Meg. I'll just provide a brief update for the past several years around this time of year. I've kind of shared what our summer school plans are. Um, at present we are anticipating a
035different approach to this summer with a focus primarily on our extended school year services without offering a regular education option. Um, couple of reasons for that that I've outlined in the memo. The primary reason is that there's a lot of uh question marks around funding. In the past, I know in 2024, for example, there was a combination of a title one summer reallocation grant as well as an extended ESSER COVID funding grant that we applied for to total $150,000 to fund those programs for the summer. Last year, we kind of split those between title one summer reallocation grants and locally funded resources for regular education summer school. And we have a lot of question marks about whether or not there will be summer reallocation funds in this upcoming summer. So, that's a primary driver. Um
036second and third to that, we've spent a lot of time looking at attendance data for summer school for regular education. And um certainly you can see in the data there, we've had both declines and kind of peaks and valleys over time as well as having more students that kind of may commit in the beginning of the summer but then not be able to attend at all as well as the dayoverday average daily attendance. And for those average daily attendance numbers, we did not include students that never attended. We kind of left that separate from that data. And lastly, um we have looked at the student achievement data through the course of that. Of course, it's really hard anytime we do that because we aren't able to take two humans and make them widgets and say,
037"Well, if this student participated and this student didn't participate and they were the exact same person, how did that impact them?" So, I want to be clear that we're not um demeaning or undermining the work that our staff does over the summer, but we have not been able to see huge academic gains for students through their participation in summer school. So, at this point, we're proceeding with our focus on extended school year services through special education. We have had a partnership with Learning Works to offer steam programming over the summer. So, we will continue to explore what that might look like, but we are not currently planning to recommend pursuing an academic half-day summer school program for regular education students. >> Thank you. Any questions or comments? School board member Johnston. >> Thank you. I'm
038just curious, Meg, how at the is it at the end of each of these summer school events that there's some sort of an evaluation done of what progress the kids have made? Is that I'm just curious about how that might be conducted or whatever. >> We've done it a couple of different ways depending on the year. Sometimes we have looked at student growth from spring NWAs to fall NWAS and compared that to other student growth in the district. So how is there a difference between the way that students who participated in the program performed in that time span versus those who didn't participate? And then last year we actually dug down a little bit deeper and did a more like beginning of summer school assessment and end of summer school assessment. The hard part of
039doing it that way is we don't really have a control group, so to speak, to determine if there was a difference. So, in that data, we're just looking at students who made growth over the course of the summer school time. >> Thank you. That's helpful to understand the motivation to some extent. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anyone else? >> Yep. School board member KD then school board member Waroff. I just have to admit that when I first read this, I was a little surprised and taken a back, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized this is, I think, a proactive choice and it makes a lot of sense financially, I think. And just overall looking at the results of it, I think obviously some children are benefiting, but overall, I think
040I'm in support of not recommending this, at least for this year. I don't know. Is there any consideration that if we notice a decline in general education students that we might reconsider next year? Yeah, I'm I'm always up for reconsidering. I think another conversation that we've had is that summer school can look really different and we've tried a couple of different models like we tried a more tutoring based model. We tried kind of a regular education model. there are other models out there in other schools in Maine that follow like an outdoor education model or an exploratory model or that their focus is about providing kids a safe place to have positive interactions with peers and with teachers and that maybe it's not an academic focus. So, I'm I'm certainly open to considering anything in
041the future. And it does break my heart a little bit to come to the board and say like, "Let's discontinue something." But I also think it would be disingenuous for us as a leadership team not to in addition to suggesting things that we want to add to also come to the table when we have things that we want to take away and say we we don't think this is working anymore. And that way we can lean into other things that we can pour our energy into that we do think are working or worth pursuing. >> I think you just answered my question. Um I was going to ask you what kinds of other models did you think of and one of them was tutoring that I was going to ask you about, but it sounds
042like you've already done that. >> And that was the model we followed last year. We kind of had a tradeoff with time spent in learning works for students for our younger students and then time spent in like small groupoup highdose tutoring in either literacy and math or for some students a double dose in math and a double dose in literacy. Okay. Anyone else? Great. Thank you. Thanks. Okay. Moving on to item E. That is the first reading of policies. School board member Johnston. Thank you very much.
