003at the end of the year and I just want them to know how much I appreciate their service and commitment to our children um mine especially have been very with some of those staff members and I do appreciate everything that they've done for me and my family the next thing is I wanted to talk about the bus and just what the heck is going on with that um all of my children have been in prek we've been in prek for four years I've never had any issues until this year and I am willing to take full acknowledgement that sometimes I run late I I'm a busy mom of three I work a full-time job everybody has commitments I get it buses are on a strict timeline but at some point you have to acknowledge that
004we're all human and things happen life happens um and I had a not so pleasant experience with one of the staff members that was on April 6th it's now April 27th and the only resolution I've been able to come up with is to pull my daughter out of the prek program because I'm unable to find a different solution I finally got a call back today from Jeremy Ray and we talked about it and our solution is to agree to disagree the irony is that I've talked to other parents now and they've said they have the same issues or have had similar issues so I just want to make sure that the school board is aware that this is going on and it's not so much just a staffing issue as an overall attitude issue and
005I don't know if any of you have called the bus department but I'm pretty sure they answer the phone with Sako transportation and they don't say hello they don't ask how you're doing I get that it's busy but these are like the most basic soft skills and I think that's very discouraging to parents when they're calling wondering where their kids are my sons were involved in a bus Collision earlier this year and it took over an hour for them to get to their daycare provider who at that point was frantically test texting me asking me if I sent my kids to school that day so you can imagine me in a meeting trying to be professional getting message of like where are your kids and I'm like what do you mean I dropped them off
006nobody called nobody said anything and I didn't call I let that go because we're human and we make mistakes but at some point there has to be some accountability and somebody needs to be aware that this is happening and I know in the budget there's money being allocated so you can track the bus which is wonderful that's great news for next year but that doesn't solve the problem for the here and now so I appreciate your time and your consideration and I hope that everybody else has a fabulous rest of the year and a better bus experience than me thank you uh that is it for those that have signed up if there's anyone else who would like to speak before the school board come forward and be heard and again please state your name
007and address for the record yes picture of who I'm discussing so good evening my name is Lindsay bullier we live on Whitt Drive in Sako we currently have four kids in the Sako school system my husband grew up in Sako and graduated from thoron Academy we had felt that the Sako school system would be a great district for our children to also grow up in up until this past school year when my daughter entered kindergarten and we were introduced to the special education department I feel that it is imperative I share our story if not for the sake of my own daughter but for the other children in the district that may be lacking special education services I would love to say that my daughter's situation is unique in an isolated case but the more
008that I've navigated this journey the more I have learned our story is not when Consulting with the medical specialist in my daughter's life I'm frequently told that lack of special education services in the Sako school district is common other schools uh Sako parents have also expressed the same concerns to me I also understand that unless parents come forward with these issues directly to the school board you may not even and be aware of what's going on my daughter is a six-year-old kindergartener at Young School she is on the autism spectrum has sensory processing disorder enuresis urinary retention requiring bladder catherization and copris with chronic severe constipation having daily rectal flushes a speech delay failure to thrive with GBE dependence and severe oral aversions my daughter's medical conditions have caused her to have seven Hospital admissions
009just last year alone my daughter's first exposure the Sako school system was Sako pre pre it was decided that after her first year of pre my daughter would continue for a second year I was told during our transitional IEP meeting that the school was not ready or prepared for my daughter toward the end of that second year of prek we had a transitional IEP meeting again which was an extremely overwhelming and frustrating experience with the Sako District the special education director expressed frustration with my daughter's case manager who was advocating for her needs before before the meeting ended she abruptly disconnected the zoom Connection by just hanging up on all of us suffice it to say nothing was resolved at this meeting in a later IEP meeting when discussing my daughter's needs for an aid
010I was assured that if during the school year the need for an aid became app parent the school could add one at any time despite multiple issues throughout the school year the special education director continued to state that my daughter was doing well and all of her medical and academic needs were being met unfortunately there have been many situations this year where my daughter's academic social and emotional and behavioral needs were not being met and as a result have put her health at risk throughout this school year she has had multiple feal and urinary accidents at school and sat in it throughout the day one of the feal accidents she had resulted in painful blisters to her bottom and upper thighs from sitting in stool throughout the school day from a medication she was taking
011in early spring she came home from school upset stating that she didn't want to wear her tube feet to school anymore she stated that another child on the playground grabbed her feeding backpack causing her to fall this child then proceeded to follow her around the playground messing with her backpack this could have resulted in G tube being dislodged from her belly if the tube is dislodged we don't have hours to reinsert it but only minutes or she'll require surgery to have it replaced having access to an aid could substantially lower this risk but more importantly provide my daughter with the confidence that she is safe in her own School my daughter has gotten off the bus covered in her formula and stomach contents her tube came disconnected from her pump on the school bus and
012she began leaking by the time she had gotten her brother's attention for assistance she was soaked it's not her brother's responsibility to ensure the safety of his sister but he took on the responsibility and graciously helped her fix her tube and used his spare clothes to clean up the mess the school's response to this situation was that her tube feeding leaking on the bus isn't hurting her and is not detrimental to her safety for a child with autism and anxiety these situations cause meltdowns at home that last hours riding the bus and going to school already gives my daughter anxiety and situations like this make it worse in addition we are not able to track the number of calories lost during the leaking and therefore unable to ensure that my daughter is receiving the necessary
013nutrients for her health there have been numerous occasions where my daughter's pump will be beeping during the school day and needs to be reset she is sent out of the classroom as it is causing a disturbance to the nurse's office to be reset this has caused numerous hours of misinstruction an aid would be able to reset the pump immediately in the classroom with zero disturbance and Miss instructional time I have attempted on several occasions to resolve these issues with the school IEP team to no end I'm always met with excuses as to why they will not provide my child with the needed services for her to safely attend school like her typically developing peers my daughter's insurance has approved her for one toone nursing support at home and in School in February of this year
014I recommended the nursing care be added to Haley's IEP to ensure her medical needs were met during her school day at this point the lack of care Haley was receiving was impeding not only her health and safety but also her ability to receive a free and appropriate public education just like her typically developing peers despite not having to absorb any financial responsibility for these Services I was still met with resistance and again told my child does not qualify for onetoone support and they would not allow nursing care to be written into her IEP and provide support at school the school has offered remedies such as feeding my daughter during the overnight hours to eliminate the need for her to be fed during the school day and sending her to school in diapers for a six-
015year-old to receive no nutrition during their school day is entirely inappropriate also asking her to wear diapers is humiliating both circumstances set her up for significant academic and behavioral failures like many families of children with disabilities my daughter and my family have been dealt a hand at life that can be unfair and challenging as a parent I have had to experience holding my daughter down so she can have feeding tubes shoved down her nose into her stomach to give her the medications that she needs holding her down while she screams at me mama please don't why are you doing this to me so that she can have her blood drawn for the eenth time her looking at me with eyes of pure disappoint appointment when I tell her the school wants her to go there
016wearing diapers because they won't excuse her to stay home when she is receiving more bowel medication than a grown adult would receive during a Colonoscopy prep I could go on about the various situations that have taken place with my daughter throughout the school day but none of us want to be here all night the purpose of me sharing my story tonight is to bring awareness to the appalling care my disabled child has received and to demonstrate that there is a major Gap in our special education um department for all disabled children this significantly challenges the students ability to feel comfortable and Thrive at school my daughter looks to us for her care and support and trust that we will provide It ultimately is the school that is failing her by denying her these services for
017no reason other than they don't want to I will not fail her in getting her the education that she deserves like every other child thanks for allowing me to speak tonight thank you if there any anyone else would like to speak before the school board please come forward and be heard seeing nobody moving forward that brings us to item seven superintendent's report superintendent Ray okay good evening everyone just as a shout out that today was administrative assistance Day within our schools and we are very fortunate in our schools to have some wonderful people working in our front offices um that help keep every everything running from greeting parents to making sure bus schedules are going uh appropriately to the dismissals and the visitors and thank you for the hard work uh that they do uh
018as we talked about at the last meeting we know that we had another round of water tests that were done over April vacation we have not received those results back typically um that first test we were at about a five week situation um I don't know if retests are running on that same type of time delay um but we did retest all of those uh kind of problematic fixtures uh that were on the uh plan that we put forward to remedy and as soon as we find some find out the results we'll um we will kind of Remedy that situation further School construction meeting for the public um we had originally scheduled that for 523 but then realized that that was a city council possible city council evening uh and so we moved it to
019the next uh night which will be 5:24 at 6:00 pm at Sako middle school this morning I get to see I saw a wonderful clip on I think it was Facebook of some of our students at burn school who had raised $1,053 for uh Ukraine and there was a a great partnership with our Rotary Club in the area who matched that fundraising effort to send to Kiev and to a rotary club there and uh April had a great Facebook video going on that uh with those students so shout out to those students for uh all the work they put towards that next week uh is Staff Appreciation Week in our schools and so uh certainly people have uh things planned but nothing's any nicer than having the ability for a parent at home to just
020write a little note to their child's teacher or staff member about all the work and everything that they do they put in to make school successful um Meg and Jeff at the middle school have been working really hard on kind of figuring out the furniture situation so if the budget passed that we'll be able to move forward um they met with the vendors a couple of different times on colors and some of the other pieces and now uh trying to make decision of which classrooms might want a table type situation or who might want a desk uh and giv a little bit of choice in that we're hoping by the end of next week to have those numbers uh pretty locked up so that we can uh get a quote out uh and then just
021a thank you to the PTO and all the schools I know that at the middle school they're working on some of the graduation pieces we've got uh young school next Friday night that is having a wild child Side Event uh 13th um and then we have an end of the year event at Fairfield school and then the burns PTO fundraiser for readathon um went to kind of an online system this year and this amazing amount of money was raised like 20 some odd thousand um and just those uh help offset um you know any of the extra needs that principles so thank you to those groups thank you any questions for superintendent Ray on on the superintendent's report School Board member Gail not a question but just a follow-up comment on the those students um
022with the fundraiser for the Ukraine what a great and inspirational thing uh those those uh students did and thank you for all the support for everybody helping them and the Sako bider rotary for matching all those contributions that's that's huge and to think that those kids uh raised all that money for such a um just a dire need that's that's great and inspirational and glad to see that happening in our schools thank you any further questions moving on to item eight the chair report Cher of Fortune um I have no report this evening no report this morning or this evening rather it brings us to item nine staff reports are any staff reports I don't see any staff reports on the agenda uh brings us to item 10 board subcommittee meeting minutes uh the next

026we have known each other in within the school department um and again as a parent as well as a grandparent my grandchildren are third grade and going in in first grade right now so clearly they've been her students for just recently and in you know currently so I just want to say that I very much appreciate her dedication to the school department and thank you very much Marine thank you any further discussion see no further discussion a roll call vote on the motion School Board member Archie yes School Board member prebble yes School Board member Richard yes School Board member L Fortune yes School Board member Gail yes School Board member Truman yes School Board member Johnston yes motion passes 70 that brings us to items see a covid update superintendent Ray so in your
027packet obviously with vacation week covid update um we didn't have a lot of action last week but like other vacations there's certainly a little bit of an uptick we had a few positive pools uh this week that we'll then report out uh but we want to continue to have people if they're not feeling well to make sure that they wear a mask or choose to stay home uh in those pieces um the uptick is nothing like what this winter was like um on return so it's good that we can get outside and you know that we have uh people who are taking care of themselves so we're going to continue to monitor that piece the state is discontinuing the pool testing on the 9th of May I believe is the last week that that will
028occur um and so we'll continue to have tests available for people they're moving to a situation where it won't be pool testing but there will be um we are getting a packet of I believe it's three or I can't believe it remember if it's three or six in the packet that each family would have access to so if you weren't feeling well a nurse would have the ability to send those rapid test home for staff member and students any questions for superintendent Ray on the co report seeing no questions uh that brings us to the fiscal year 2022 monthly financial statement superintendent Ray so we re-reviewed uh the financial statements in the finance committee prior to this um just about the pace of where we're at this year we as we begin to forecast forward
029we believe that we will end the school year with a fairly healthy fund balance um which will allow us to you know carry forward to other projects or address some of the capital projects that uh we know desperately need attention so we're feeling pretty good about this year um of where we're at right now and uh knowing that we will have excess Revenue to pay down fully the deficit uh that we had with the city have enough money uh we had 300,000 towards new construction project which we will get back once uh we pass you know hopefully through the voters um and then also knowing that we have plenty of money to cover the carryover that's in this budget we'll be able to match that and exceed that with uh again still a fairly healthy
030situation as we begin to move through the springtime so we feel like we're in pretty good shape any questions for superintendent Ray on the fiscal year update seeing no questions moves us right along to the 2022 23 school year calendar item e superintendent Ray so we have the first reading of a draft calendar for the next school year um that's in your packet with us uh beginning school with students on August 31st um going through the 175 student days which would have our last day of school if we have weather cooperating on June 12th um sometime again we're going to have a real winter here in Maine where we have like seven or eight snow days again I really believe that's going to happen sometime for us um but uh very similar calendar to this
031year um October Workshop day uh have a little bit longer of a break this year at Christmas time just based off how the calendar Falls um but other than that other things are pretty much the same so this would be a required first reading any questions for superintendent Ray on the school calendar if there's no question is there a motion School Board member L Forin Mr Mayor I move we approve the calendar for the 2023 school year second motion's been made by school board member L Fortune second by School Board member Preble any discussion um just one quick thing I'm looking at the agenda and enf or duplicates slightly different font on the second one but they're they are the same item so we could skip f i I think F is for the school
032board meetings versus e is the school actual school days of the children that that was my understanding and maybe I'm incorrect there but that was my understanding no you I think you are correct so with that being the case the um we typically haven't voted on those in the past they've been something that we've um sort of organically come to based on scheduling but um I'll save this discussion for that item fair enough any further discussion on the 2022 23 school year calendar okay roll call vote on the school year calendar school board member Archie yes School Board member prebble yes School Board member Richard yes School Board member L Fortune yes School Board member Gail yes School Board member Truman yes and School Board member Johnston yes calendar passes 70 that brings us to
033item F 20122 2023 Schoolboard meeting calendar um in your packet there is a draft calendar for your review superintendent Ray any update on this before appending motions if any so I'm not NE again I'm not necessarily sure that we do need a motion or not I was just trying to get dates out to start thinking about what this would look like for the upcoming year um as I was doing the school calendar I was like oh let's get this one moving as well um and so certainly you guys can just contact me with feedback and we can you know if we need to alter things around um certainly sometimes that second meeting for us because of vacation weeks or or holidays um gets a little bit tight of where that would go and so it
034doesn't you know fit always into the normal flow of every other week having that second week be uh by the holidays any questions for the superintendent on the School Board calendar I just want to say thank you for putting together a calendar for this next year I like being able to plan uh around this so I'm I'm all for this thank you any further discussion Schoolboard M for just a quick thing and that this is intended just for clarification to be the the standing meetings essentially so um and the only reason I'm bringing this up is because I know that it's been a a topic of conversation in the past of perhaps a an interpretation that there's or a perception that the Schoolboard meetings are all over the place and that they're never clearly documented
035this is what they are aside from Workshop meetings changes due to vacations and conflicts any of the council school board meetings that we might have together and and so on so this is strictly just for the school board's typical standing meetings correct these are the regular monthly meetings as we know February and March we can add several dates to our calendar uh once we move through the budget process of what that will look like School Board member Gail um yeah thank you for putting this together together I it is nice to have uh this available but um I guess just one kind of concern is the for me personally and and the 500m meetings as we look into next year and the coming up on the school construction um I guess I'm I'm wondering if
036there's any way that we can move those to later in the evening to allow for people uh greater public participation that may not be able to attend the 500 p.m. or if there's if there's some wiggle room here or is this the the calendar that that we're wedded to as we move forward I think that would be this would be my proposal for a calendar of what allows it to happen I mean certainly School construction meetings have been on typically off nights um if when we like probably talk about before that vote I would time those with the 7 o'clock meeting um knowing that that is going to be a situation where there's going to be a lot of input about that piece which actually will probably be fairly heavy as we move into the
037summer uh late Summers is because we'll have to think about our timeline for getting things on if we still have that eye on the November ballot we're still going to have to um is it 60 days 90 days you have to have those ballots printed um so the ballots have to be printed 30 days prior to the actual uh early voting so early voting is a month before the actual voting or roughly a month uh so therefore you actually have to have it ready 60 days prior to the November election so a lot of the school constructions talk will happen before September yeah I guess I'm just the 500m thing is is a little tough I think for a lot of folks who work traditional schedule and um you know we want to we want
038to hear from the public and have public comment um I guess the the school construction is just one of those things into your point I mean with uh July August September on here uh we've got three 2 5: pm meetings but um can we look at some creative way then maybe of of having of on the agenda having public comment at the beginning and at the end that way if someone who can't make it here till 5:30 uh they still have an ability to to provide public comment certainly during as a policy committee agenda can be as a topic that you guys could review I don't believe I've seen that one yet I think we we've done that one think second it's I believe we have touched on that um the policies are potentially always
039up for revision as as the need arises I suppose yep there are there are some there are many you know again there are other School departments that do public comment in different places throughout the agenda so that certainly could be something that the policy committee could make a determination on so I think tonight reading first reading of policies and one of the policies is uh bed which is the rules of order for the board of education so I think between now uh and when it comes up for second and final reading if you want to make amendments uh that would be the perfect time to do so to allow for public comment at the tail end of a meeting as well as at the front end and then I guess to follow up on this
040too Mr Mayor is there I seem to remember a couple Council meetings ago there was discussion about uh um with some of these arpa funds the possibility of retrofitting this office or this room to enable hybrid meetings is that something that that is still in that is still in the budget and and as long as the budget passes on May 9th or yeah I think May 9th uh then that will come to fruition it may not be right immediate but it will come to fruition School Board M of Fortune just a follow up to um to Will's comments about timing and dates and stuff I know that it would require probably a lot of coordination but I'm wondering if in the bucket of what creative things we can do is Is it feasible to pick
041a different day and by doing so have the meetings always at the same time so for example you know if we picked Thursday or Tuesday would that make it possible for for the meetings to always be say at 7:00 I guess that's a question for the superintendent but I believe the idea of the whole five and seven was to accommodate the uh the shift as uh superintendent Ray also does bitterford uh whereas today he'll be here from 5: to 7: for this meeting and then goes right over to bitterford for a 7 to9 meeting and then on the subsequent uh days or or meetings it'll be there from 5: to 7:00 and then comes here 7 deny so that I believe that was the reason why the switch was made to the correct five and
042seven but I'll let him talk about his schedule and whether other days can be accommodated yeah 100 100% I mean as you know we all have nights out and stuff um well I think they like me at home a little bit in the evening time I'm not sure that they do um but as you think about you know the the meeting schedule it just has to be a a doability factor uh between the three communities that I that we serve um and when we look at the additional meeting that tends to get added every single month in from January to June with a joint meeting of the council that always is a Monday that is a Monday night um it just has to be a doability factor School Board member La Fortune I don't know
043if uh you'll remember this but I do believe during the budget months they would only have one School Board member and School Board member Johnston you may remember that as well because of that meeting with the city council they would eliminate one school board meeting uh for those couple of months we've we've actually done it in many configurations in the past I recall doing that I recall budget Cycles where we had like three meetings in in a week um to cover the continued discussion of all of the different um administrative departments so you know you'd cover all of the school buildings on one day and if you didn't get to the mall then you'd bleed over into Wednesday and then do it's been done a number of ways in budget cycle um but it was
044also in the past we did have it on a different day I think we had Thursday meetings at various times I think we had tues Tuesday meetings at various times Wednesday it's it's moved around um the question was really just around the the challenge of the five o'clock one in particular as to whether it would be more palatable and you know understanding that yes it's it's still two meetings for you they just happen to be on different days whether that would be more manageable for everyone if it was all at the same time that it was just a a question sort of thinking out loud about what we could do creatively with the calendar school board member Archie um in regards to um meeting with both districts I think that maybe we should consider switching
045like to the other week and giving you a more open to Executive session rather than once a month just throwing that out there I don't know if that works for your schedule or not say that again well it seems like we can only really do an executive session on the days that we have a 700 p.m. meeting so if we went and did the alternating week from bord you could do like a 5m for both meetings and then that would give you more time for more executive sessions I'm just throwing that out there if you needed it try not to have executive sessions I get that I get that but sometimes I just feel like they're pushed back a little bit because you know it's once a month and again when there's something important we
046can schedule something like that um I think that the conversation needs to be about if the meeting schedule doesn't work for you we have to figure out what works for you guys and then we have to figure out what works as an organization and a system uh to meet those needs okay just picking your brain about it any further discussion on this item so F following up just to simplify it what you're suggesting um is instead of the second and fourth Wednesday doing it the first and third Wednesday and so that it's essentially not likely to conflict regardless of topics that might come up with other meetings that might cause something either to not be able to be on the agenda or it's compressed or is that really what you're asking yeah and like if
047we have a five o'clock meeting I don't want Jeremy to feel Rush that he has to make it over to bford by 7 that doesn't really seem fair to bit it either Mr Mayor excuse me School Board member Johnston it it seems like we're sort of in a workshop session right now and I feel like maybe this is something that we should review a little bit more and come back to talk about because I think either we vote for it tonight or we don't but it seems like a lot of the board members are interested in more conversation around it um I think it's always hard to accommodate everyone's schedule and so we we certainly try but it is a challenge to to do that so my thought was just that we have a lot
048going on in this conversation and maybe we should have more conversation aside from this particular meeting thank you uh as superintendent Ry has indicated uh there's no real need for a vote tonight on this item uh and as School Board member John indicated that there's several discussion points that may want to happen in between now and when you adopt a a school board schedule for the next year so uh maybe the discussion can continue uh and we can move on to the next item any further discussion on this okay moving on item g a first reading of policies there are several policies here is there a motion to approve the first reading of policies Mr Mayor School Board member Johnston I'd like to make a motion for this first reading but I'd also like to
049preface it by saying as you just so correctly surmised there are a lot of policies here I think there are 22 of them um it's evidence to the fact that the Strategic committee has been working hard to get these things in place in a timely timely fashion so I will go ahead and read these but bear with me because it is a lot of reading um I move we approve the first reading of kdb Public's right to knowf freedom of access B Rules of Order bhc board responsib excuse me board relationships and Communications with staff BBA School Board powers and responsibilities bbaa School Board member Authority and responsibilities bbab Schoolboard self evaluation bbab b-r Schoolboard self- evaluation procedures bbba Schoolboard member qualifications bcab governance standard BDA board organizational meeting bdd board superintendent relationship BDF board
