001Everybody's all set. Okay. Good evening. I'll go ahead and call the school board uh meeting to order at 501. Please let the uh record show that all schoolboard members are here and the mayor is absent due to a travel conflict. Would you please join us for the pledge of allegiance? First item on the agenda is approval of schoolboard minutes dated March 9th, 2022. Is there a motion? Mr. Chair, I move we approve the school board meeting minutes dated March 9th, 2022. Second. Any discussion? Okay. Roll call vote. School board member Archie. Yes. School board member Prebble? Yes. School member Richard? Yes. I vote yes. School board member Gale? Yes. School board member Truman? Yes. School board member Johnson? Yes. Motion passes 70. Okay. Next item is adjustments to the agenda. Do we have any adjustments?
002Okay. Moving on to correspondence. Any correspondence this evening? Okay. And that brings us to the public session. Uh, anyone wishing to address the school board, uh, please come to the podium, state your name, and address the school board. Hello everyone, Kevin Roach, 18 Vines Road. I just wanted to uh speak uh for myself as a committee member on the school construction. Um things have been going I think very well, progressing uh nicely. Um learning a lot about state process versus if we were going to go out go do this by on our own. Um we are on the site selection which goal is to have enough land to account for any um program grade configuration we have. We are looks like we're we're down to three sites. Um uh it's exciting. Um, we have like
003to thank the city for keeping open um the CLA parcels which are out just beyond the industrial park roads uh near our buses. Um uh also SMS area um still might have some potential. Um but I'm very excited about what I believe is the lead site is uh the sweeter land. Uh the sweeter land is available. Um um it's uh got plenty of land um exits at the industrial park and also out to public works where the buses are as well. And um I really encourage that when we have our next public meeting, all our meetings are public here at 4:00 once a month, but when we go out to the school, I really encourage um our citizensry to get out there um not just parents, but all citizens, school officials, and um and uh
004hear what those top sites are going to be described to you. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anyone else? Okay, seeing that, I'll go ahead and close the public session. That brings us to the superintendent report. Okay, good evening everybody. Uh several things to uh mention tonight. Uh first and foremost, the process for um the interviewing of a potential replacement at SMS has begun. Uh we have uh interviews uh scheduled this week and hopefully uh we are on track for the April 12th meeting to uh hopefully come forward with a recommendation uh for a candidate. Pool testing is still continuing in schools and let's knock on wood a little bit but we are still seeing uh very low number of positive pools. So things are moving in the right direction. Um, we'll continue to
005update that piece, but um, so far so good. Um, and I know that just talking to nurses and stuff, they're like it's just like really positive about, okay, maybe we're we're finally over this hump and uh, things will go well. Um, the other night we uh, got to attend a unified basketball game at Bford Middle School with Sako Middle School. It's just a great event. Um, I know that we have a we had a game last night in Wells, uh, and just seeing the smiles on the kiddos's faces, uh, is just really important. I know Jess, I think we're trying to plan something for Friday, Tuesday, uh, and, uh, as for their next game to get a little school support behind the team. But, uh, just absolutely great event. Uh, principles, uh, have started to
006begin to work on schedules and all those things for next year. so that uh by the time June comes, we have plenty of information to put out to the community and staff about what things will look like next year uh as we look to be into a hopefully a more normal situation. Um, as you all know, we've been heavily involved in the budget process and we'll make some uh hopefully some recommendations tonight as we look uh to put our first uh public hearing or first reading of the budget uh on the April 12th agenda. Um still waiting for health insurance. My understanding is that we could have ranges within the next few days of like here's your the top range in the state and here's the the low range in the state and we still
007hope for that first week of April to have what our local results would be for health insurance. Um as Kevin mentioned uh the building project seems to be going very well and we're moving in in the right direction. Tomorrow, Megan and I will meet with Oakpoint and DOE to finalize the vernal pool study uh with the DOE seeming to be willing to um cover the costs of those three top sites that uh were spoken about and that locally we would do one more site uh just to play it safe. The vernal pool piece is an important piece to see if it's a viable piece of land. And uh I think our committee was wanted to make sure that we had as many bases covered as possible because if there's a hiccup in a piece of
008property, we need to know what's left. Um so we will have those vernal pool studies done April May based off uh the weather and um when they can get out of the woods, but we're on track to move forward. Uh and then finally been working with Mike uh Gity to have some conversations about like got a lot of work this summer scheduled um and a lot of pieces to get done uh around we still have a lot of cleaning out that we need to do around here and Mike's been working on that at the middle school. um looking at some of the projects that we've talked about um going at uh getting some price quotes on painting and uh we should have I think we're next uh Tuesday or Wednesday Meg we're planning to have
009the desks show up at the middle school so that we can get um price quotes and and have teachers be able to look at some options if we're able to push that forward uh so that we can look at upgrading furniture. um a lot of things building facilities wise that we have on the table right now. Any questions? Okay, seeing no questions, we will move on. Next item is the chair's report and I have nothing additional to report this evening. Um next item is staff reports. There are reports in the packet um that are attached to the agenda for all five of the schools. Does anyone have any questions specific to those? Okay, moving on to subcommittee minutes. There are several also in the packet. Brings us to old business, of which there's none. And
010then the first item under new business is um item A, the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. I think I got that right. I'm very pleased to share with the school board had the opportunity to meet with the CK Burns staff earlier today to congratulate two of our CK Burns teachers on their state finalist position for the presidential award for excellence in mathematics and science teaching. There are up to three state level finalists and we have two of them in our district in the same school. So we are very lucky to have them and very proud of their accomplishments with this award. It was great to hear from some of their colleagues today about the wonderful work that they're doing and we want to extend our congratulations to both of them tonight.
011Well done. [Applause] You want to say anything about the process either of you? You have an open mic. Let's let's take advantage of it. A little bit about the process. It was very rigorous. Yes. Incredibly. Um, so Danielle qualified for the math finalist position and I qualified for the science finalist position. So there is a possibility that we both could win at the national level and get to go to Washington DC together. Um, if we make it to DC, we get an opportunity to speak to people who make educational policy at the national level and get to have a voice in what education should look like in the future. So, it's a a very high honor and very thankful. Yes. Yeah. It was just an amazing process just kind of going through and really breaking
012down what you do um every day and kind of really evaluating because there was a lot of steps to think about what you do and how you do it and it's just it's a great honor to be selected even to go forward for the state of Maine as representative. So, we're very grateful. Congratulations. Thank you. And again, let's have a big round of applause. Thank you to Danielle and Holly for representing us so well. And uh Oh, I like the odds. I like the odds on this one. So, congratulations. Okay, next item is new hires, which are in the packet as well. Any questions, comments on new hires? The next item is resignations, also in the packet. And I believe we need a motion for one of them. I move we accept the retirement of
013Kathy Moody, CK Burns teacher, effective at the end of the 2122 school year. Second. First and second. Any discussion? I just want to say uh thank you to Kathy uh Moody for her service. Um I actually had the pleasure my daughter had her for fourth grade and um she still claims that she's her favorite teacher. So um hopefully this is a an enjoyable retirement for her. I echo that. I had my son had her for fourth grade as well and also had a good experience there. else. Roll call vote. School member Archie, yes. School board member Prebble, yes. School board member Richard, yes. I vote yes. School board member Gail, yes. School board member Truman, yes. School board member Johnston, yes. Motion passes 70 brings us to CO update. So just again in your packet
014we've been providing the co update that uh hopefully at some point we will be able to remove from the agenda but uh at this point in time just keeping you updated on positive pools and uh I think this week um you know since we wrote the memo we might have one positive pool so far in the district. So um things are looking pretty good and heading down the right path health and safety wise. Okay, that brings us to the next item which is approval of revolving renovation grants. Kevin, I have budget adjustment first. You do? Oh, yes. I'm sorry. The next item is is actually e the budget review and adjustments. You were ready to skip over the most exciting part. I was. Uh so last week we had a meeting. Uh we've had a
015couple of budget review sessions. Um and as we talked about last week, there are a few items that we wanted to discuss a little bit more. Um, and on the memo sheet, uh, I've provided for you kind of a breakdown of where there were increases and decreases, uh, in the budget with the first kind of uh, green, red, yellow, and blue piece is something that is already sitting in the draft budget that you've received. So that's that's kind of all there and we've talked about those pieces. As we looked at our review and revision list, there are a couple of pieces that we spent some time on talking the other night. And the first one it was about the bus routing software that we've kind of explained that would give some live access to parents
016to be able to see where their bus is, have the ability for us um to monitor the routes, combined routes, has a very publicf facing um interface which I'm hoping will make the jobs of our transportation department and our principles easier so that if there is a bus delay that is seven minutes, we can put out from one screen that bus number 12 is going to be 7 minutes late, which might stop 45 phone calls, which would also inform the next school that there could be a minor delay. Um, and that we would be able to push information to parents quickly that way versus say Facebook. Um what we're able to do is um this contract is a software that we would be buying in together with uh Dayton and Bitterford so I can lower
017the cost. Um as I've worked with the company that if we have over 50 buses the cost goes down to $700 uh a bus. If we could bring on another collaboration with another community we could lower that to $600 a bus. Uh and we're about 40 away. And then I think the final benefit is the ability to have turnbyturn um navigation for people who are sitting behind the wheel whether that be a bus or a van. Uh as we know that with substitutes for buses um I'd be very scared to jump on a bus. I was unfamiliar with the route and relying on a piece of paper of how where I need to drop a kid. Hoping that having this technology might be put us in a position to promote what we have for software
018to to offer to families. I I mean to the bus driver. So they say, "Okay, maybe this is a place where I would want to be a substitute bus driver because that the ease of knowing where I drop off a kid." I suspect that the one of the biggest fears a bus driver would have would be, "Okay, I let Jeff's kid off at Jen's house and it should have been the other way around." So, that would be an $18,900 cost added to the budget. The second piece that we've talked about um is prek special education uh provider, the SDI. And we know that there is a lot happening with um CDS at the state level and I believe that if we could we will be able to add a provider that should not cost us
019any money. However, my recommendation would be to possibly have $20,000 um in an offset just to make sure that like if the billing did not work out. Now, I did receive the uh this week from Ann Marie at TA did receive the budget for special education costs um at Thornton Academy, which are lower than what we have in the budget. So, I think we could strip that $20,000 away uh and and play it safe. I would not recommend reducing our special education allowance any further because I do worry about the fact that with kiddos being out of school, you know, and with the COVID piece that we may see more referrals come our way. That's going to be a natural occurrence. And so I think that it would be wise of us to have additional
020money in there while we could cover this cost with the difference uh in the 9 through 12 budget. Um, I don't think that we should bare bones that piece because I worry about what to come. Um, and then the third piece in the red, um, is we talked a lot the other night about custodial and maintenance and where we are as as a community and the fact that as a school department, we have one maintenance person for four schools. Um, and we were able to do a little uh a swap around with a custodian that was halftime uh and servicing central office and learning the learning set center by switching some of the hours from prek in the evening, meeting the square footage kind of piece over to that. So, we would see a 32
021if we reduce that position, we would see a $32,000 savings with a recommended ad of a maintenance position uh in the budget so that we could start addressing some of the painting needs, some of the repair costs. um as we begin to move away from being reactionary to hopefully proactive in our approach in the buildings. While two probably is not enough, we know that we need to take steps and um we need to change our mindset of how we approach our buildings as we move into a new elementary school. Um, when you think about the maintenance position that we currently have of one person that covers four schools at night, you have four different tasks that are in four different school. That's it. Even if they're simple tasks because you're driving across town. Now, as
022we have talked about in finance committee that we would talk about maintenance things as we move towards, you know, the end of the fiscal year and whether there's money left, as Mike and I talked a little bit more this week and we learn a little bit more about this, one other piece that and I struggle not being able to look at you all as I speak. Um, one other piece that we have to also consider and it doesn't necessarily have today, but we need to plan for we also do not have any uh vehicles or like we don't have a maintenance van that would have supplies in it. That doesn't make a lot of sense for us because if you're the person at night that needs to fix plumbing stuff and then you realize you
023don't have the right materials with you, you can't fix it until the next time. So, I think that we really need to start thinking about and I've asked Mike um when we we met yesterday is kind of just look at like what does our current van fleet look like? like is there anything that's high mileage that we're not putting so that we can compare some of these things and come back with a solution because we need to have the supplies and the vehicle and the equipment for people to do the job. Um I know that one of the other pieces that when we talk about maintenance that hopefully later in the spring we'll be able to come back to you with is just thinking about the facility to store some of those items. We have
024a lot of small sheds, but we don't have anything that's big enough to store equipments or ladders or some of those things that we need to uh do so that we can do the job and keep our, you know, keep the schools running appropriately. Um, so in this second tier, I would recommend that, you know, because there's been the printing that we remove the $20,000 and add $51,000 to the existing budget, hoping that we're going to see a reduction in um health insurance costs that would cover this $51,000 that we'd be able to present at the next meeting. And then finally, these are estimates only. We know that we've had some conversation about furniture uh and painting and we've tooured SMS with the members of the school committee and members of the city council and
025it looks like there is some support uh from the council to at least consider some of this. Um, and that next piece would be looking at obviously we have to get much more firm numbers, but seeing how we can chip away at the needs of some of the painting and furniture at SMS. Um, we've all been there. We've all seen it. We believe that anyone who is what a resident of Saco that is 45 and under has probably sat in all of the same furniture at SMS. The age is a little higher than that. Okay. So, the age is a little I was Kevin, I wasn't making age. I was just saying, but definitely they've been there a while. They've been there a while. Um, and we need to have an opportunity where that staff
026uh has the ability to look at some of the furniture options in the schools and uh make some decisions. We talked about having uh samples that will come this week. People can come and view those uh if you want. Um but these are the next step for us. Uh we know that currently um the school side based off the presentation that will occur Monday night at city council that the school side of the budget is kind of like a negative.63 to the mill mil mill rate. That's a great day for us. Now, that doesn't mean that we just go, you know, crazy, but I think that the pieces that we're looking to add in this budget meet some of the needs that we have programmatically uh and for our buildings. Um, in that first year,
027we get to bring back uh an alternative education program at SMS that went away that we know our students need. Um, and then also solve the problem of having art and music on a cart at Fairfield School that needs to end. Um, they need to be able to have a classroom. And so these are the things I'm putting forward for you guys to discuss more tonight. um kind of give me a little direction to put on that as we present on Monday night and then come back on the 12th for a finalized version of a budget and hopefully we have everything really solid with health insurance by that time. Thank you. Thank you. I'll I'll go ahead and get it started. Um personally, I really like the recommendations that we've been given. Um I like
028how they break they they break down. And I like, you know, especially like the idea that we're addressing some things that we've not been able to address before and ultimately have for the most part ways to pay for them, which is sort of a novel thing. Um I think for many of us up here um the one question I have is relative to the capital improvements items that relate to SMS. I know we don't have real numbers. The based on at least the the the visit that I had with a few um council members and schoolboard members, I think others had the same experience. The council seems very interested and and motivated to help out in that area. Would that be something that we would include in our budget with the assumption that they would
029cover or is it something that we would look to them to cover through some other some other funding of some kind that comes from the city side? Well, I think making a a piece like this, an investment like this takes a partnership between the board and the council. Um, and I think just kind of watching it over the years, what's neat about the experience what we're having this time is there seems to be a lot of buyin together. And so what I would like to do uh Kevin is first would be to add the $51,000 to our budget and then come with that as kind of like an option to add on because obviously if we we put that in there and they said cut $400,000 we'd say okay well all right goes here it
030goes and we're back to that. I just I think that it's important for our staff to see, especially as we start looking at buildings, that elected officials, if we're behind this, are doing this together. Um, we need to show the support in this community that we're all willing to upgrade in our facilities because as we've said many many times as the new school comes on board, if we if we don't start changing those habits now, we'll be 10 years down the road and we'll be saying what happened again. And so I'd like to see that as an option that we could put together that we recommend and hope that uh there's some endorsement behind that. Um, so I think that's that would be my hope. I think in the past you used to call them
031like rads or something here. I just see it as a really good option for us to make a decision together. Any discussion, questions? Are we ultimately heading for a motion to make that change or is this more of a we're supportive of it and we wait to see what the final looks like to So this would be obviously signaling your support to include these things so that I change your revenue sheet and prepare that for Monday night. And again, you're not you're voting on the final budget on the 12th. Um, but this would be signaling support tonight to say yes, this is a direction that we want to we want to head. Um, I would be in support of the recommendations. I think they make total sense. I like the idea that we are addressing
032newer things that we haven't addressed before. prek special education provider. Um, adding more maintenance positions. Adding the bus routing software sounds pretty exciting as a parent, especially putting on younger children on the bus can be worrisome. Um, and I'm supportive of all the wonderful things we've been able to add to the various schools, a lot of SMS, some CK burns, and adding more time for social work. Um, I think it's great. So, I'm looking forward to supporting that. I'd like to add that I also um I'm supportive of these additions. Um I think the custodian piece, the maintenance piece is uh really needed, especially after taking a tour of the middle school. Um capital improvements definitely need to happen. Um, and you know, although I don't see the the bus rate being something that we
033have to have, I still think it's a fantastic uh upgrade to our system and more likely to get us more subs because I like you had admitted like dropping off a child that I am not familiar with would be terrifying to make you know dropping them off at the right place. I think this would be really helpful to help get more people to come help us and to set some parents at ease. I know there's been times when the buses have been late and I've called Jeannie and been like, "Where's the bus?" And she's it's chaos. So, you know, one less phone call for her or 40 less phone calls. Um, but yeah, I think these are all really great additions. It's nice to be able to feel like we can actually ask for some
034additional things in the budget. Um, but that's That's it for me. I think just a quick one regarding the um uh prek special education provider. Um seeing as over wanting to use CDS revenue, does it does it actually make it to the the budget? I don't know how that works as far as So we would sign a contract with CDS for an offset to any payment that would be made. Um, we kind of have been starting to talk as superintendents like as these come in, how and where do these sit in the budget? And the kind of the conversation is that this might set more like a title one situation where they're kind of outside the general education budget because one of the challenges that the CDS pieces that transitions to public schools will present
035to us is that in your regular preK through 12 budget, voters vote on lines in an amount of an expenditure. And with the CDS piece, you may have no idea what that those costs might look like or what the size will be because if especially if we're working with three-year-olds, you're going to be in this revolving situation all year long as kids become three that now you're looking to provide service. And so at least some initial conversations is that this would be treated more like a title one situation or a separate fund outside of the general fund. And it's it's looking like it will be a reimbursement model. So we would spend it, we'd invoice, we'd get it back, but still a lot of details to figure out. So with that, the intent of the
03620,000 is just to cover the gap if there is one. Yeah. And and I'd be recommending to you guys that based off again some of the other special ed funding that came in from the 9 through 12 budget is that we wouldn't even need to put the $20,000 in, we have enough in the budget to handle that piece. And it's and and and the other piece is it's not like it's really part of that budget. It's just about having that extra account or knowing that the fear always is that reimbursement doesn't come in and so you are responsible for it if it doesn't come in. But I feel like we're I feel like at least we're starting to move in the right direction of people understanding what it should be. Uh so I'm in support
037of a lot of these. My only recommendation would be rather than 20, maybe we could increase that a little bit because I am very hesitant. Um, I mean, we're looking at 70 to $80,000 salaries for that position. 20 seems a little skeptical to me. Um, I understand that we're talking about getting the 20 from the 9 to 12. So rather than getting that off, I think that we should leave that on and then that might give us a 40 buffer. And certainly we can do that. I don't think that we would even need the 40. I think we're going to be okay. Superintendent, right? Does that give you enough? Yeah. Go on. Yeah, we'll we'll get things in. I'll make a slight adjustment to the revenue page for Monday night and we'll uh meet with
038city council, present to them, and then we'll come back on the 12th for uh approval of the revenues and the expenditures. Great. Now, the next item, approval of revolving renovation grants. Okay. As you know that as part of the budget, uh we have revolving renovations funds. We've talked about it several times in conversation with bond council. Their suggestion is that the school committee did make a motion on the approval of revolving renovations funds. Uh and based off that many times as kind of backup in um on the ballot they will say this was supported by the school committee and what the vote was and by the city council. And so they recommended that we take a vote here um just to show the board's support if they support that piece. Just a quick uh Yes.
039At was it Monday? This Monday uh at the council meeting it was unanimously approved. Correct. At the council correct? uh for the first reading. Yes. So for from from that point forward is that have since since we've already decided to move that forward and then it's gone to the council, do we need a motion this evening? Again, I would say yes because their recommendation is they wanted to to be able to signal board support in whatever that fashion would be. Okay. Um, I can attempt a motion or I can go back to the council packet from the other night and use the one that they had. I think just attempting a motion to, you know, a motion to approve revolving renovations grants would be sufficient. Okay. So, I move to approve revolving renovation grants um
040as documented and presented to the city council on this past Monday evening. Second. Okay. First second. Any discussion? Okay. Roll call vote. School board member Archie. Yes. School board member Prebble. Yes. School board member Richard? Yes. I vote yes. School board member Gail? Yes. School board member Truman. Yes. School board member Johnston. Yes. Motion passes 70. Can I ask real quick who you gave the second to general? Okay. Okay. And that brings us to the next item which is the NIWA winter testing update. I'll just give a very brief overview this evening of the winter NWA testing information. This is the first time that we've had a fullscale winter administration for NWA. So, we do not have a lot of historical data to see what that midyear data looks like in comparison. What you'll see
041on all of the graphs is the fall data average scores per grade level compared with the winter data for each content area. And then the um black stars represent that fall normative data. So when we talked about that in the fall, you can see that our students were performing either just below or above the 50th percentile in almost all content areas with um math being an area where we saw a little bit of a dip in fourth through 6th grade. And um as we look at the winter data, we see that we are not keeping up with the winter norms. However, I want to caution us that that normative data again is precoid norms. Uh so we don't have a sense of what the normative data looks like in COVID across the country yet. NWA's
042usually pretty good about putting out some of those reports, but of course they need to summarize all of that data. To dig into the content areas a little bit in um math, we see every single grade level making growth but not growth at the pace that we would like to see, especially given the recovery that we're looking for students to make. uh with the exception of eighth grade which did surpass the normative growth and exceeded um their growth targets on average. For uh reading we see a similar pattern growth at every grade level but not the rate of growth that we would like to see or that we would see in a you know normal precoid era. and language use. This is the first year that we're taking this assessment at all. So, this is
043our second data point where we can actually kind of see over time how students are performing. And in grades seven and eight, we're above the national norm with uh pretty just below national norm and the grade levels below that. Really the most important piece of this is not what the data says, but what we do with the data at every school. So I've highlighted for you some of the things that are happening in each school with this data. It's only one of the many data points that we use. So we really have to take this with a grain of salt and use it in conjunction with running records with unit assessments for math. And really what we noticed as we looked at the distribution of scores uh to kind of dig a little bit deeper
044than the averages is that we have our high achieving students making their growth targets and our lower achieving students struggling to make their growth targets. So a lot of the work that the schools are doing is really ensuring that the students who need interventions or extra supports are getting those interventions or extra supports and then looking at those students that were in a low achievement high growth area and trying to figure out what what are we doing with those students that are working and how can we replicate that with other students. Another important piece of that puzzle with the limited resources that we have is to ensure that when we have students who are meeting their growth targets that we start to slowly release those supports for them so that we can free up resources
045to support students who aren't receiving extra supports and get them uh the resources that they need. I'm happy to answer any other questions about the data presented. Any questions? Um, Meg, I know this is kind of a projection question, but do you think that we are going to see the improvements and the progress that kids are making go towards a a better trajectory for improvement in the future? I mean, I know we're dealing with different kids with different situations, but in general, do you have a positive feeling about the way this is going? I guess. Yeah. I think one of the one of the conversations that we had with our building leaders was really around where we all were in January, especially with the spike with omccron. At CK Burns alone, we had over 250
046students that had to test outside of the classroom in a makeup test situation for one test or another. So, we anticipate that there are a lot of different factors that impacted this winter data and we're definitely hoping that we're seeing a brighter picture and we are seeing a brighter picture with some of the classroom assessments in terms of student reading levels and things like that.

We were looking for a steeper increase than we saw. But in looking at the other data points and in putting in place the services that we were able to tweak or change as a result of the
047data, we're very hopeful that the spring data will have a different picture. Thank you. Thanks. All right. Next item is first reading of policies. Is there a motion? Mr. Chair.
