002few words but uh we're going to start with burn school tonight because I know that there is a practice rehearsal for a talent show that some of the staff members need to get uh back to so at this time I'd like to ask uh Mrs Noble to please come forward good evening it's nice to see everyone it's uh an honor to be able to speak on behalf of the five amazing amazing Educators that I've come to know at Burns um quickly just very accepting of new Administration and some new ideas and some fresh energy and I have to um just share that all five of these individuals were really just um very open and met with me early on and there's just there's definitely a trend when you look at the five individuals that I'm

003talking about tonight in how they welcomed me and uh Mr partridge in as new Administration this year so I'm just going to take a moment to um say a few words about each of them uh Pat Molton she is our occupational therapist she's been with the district for 22 years um during her time as an occupational therapist she's gone above and beyond and one of the things that um I recognize and Mr Partridge and I recognized when we thought about her was the assistance she provides parents outside of just their students on a day-to-day basis she's always going and uh advocating for things they can do to support their students with needs at home um and has some really outside of the box tips and tricks that she shared so thank you Pat for your

004time at [Applause] Burns next I want to talk a little bit about Mrs Powers Carol Powers has beat Pat by eight years and she's been there for 30 years a longstanding um education in one in one place so really impressive um I've known for the year and she has been such an amazing special ed resource for me um she she served as the team leader for me this year but I know she's done that for a number of years and really worked to create a team approach so that everyone's voices are heard um she's done a lot of different things for special education as well as the whole school um and I you know our conversations are about the many changes that she's uh experienced over the years one lasting memory of Carol is that

005she is extremely positive amongst lots of many circumstances that we've um been dealt with this year and I just um really want to commend her for her positivity so thank you Carol [Applause] right down to the checkered shirt you match uh next we're going to increase on the years here because Kathy Moody has beat everybody with 39 years in the Sako School District certainly a long time to spend in one place and um you won't ever hear a single negative thing about Kathy moody she is just exudes positivity and happiness and joyfulness I love spending time in her classroom um during her time as a classroom teacher she's really cemented herself as a legend in the halls of CK Burns um she has served students parents of students and some grandparents of students um and

006Tom and I when we were putting our heads together we just thought um you know every time we turn around parents have wonderful things to say about her uh and I I know I'm going to miss tremendously so congratulations to [Applause] Kathy next is Mrs bajaron another I think um memory that people are going to always talk about Mrs be she's got a really lasting uh Legacy at this uh Burns school and she's been there for 33 years um very impressive to me uh during her time as a classroom teacher she's served as a leader of the fourth grade team she's helped many students and new staff find their way in the building while providing high quality education for many many generations one thing that stands out for me particularly is all the Committees and

007all the work that Kathy does I'm not quite sure what we're going to do without her next year she's the one who's telling us to wrap things up so that she can get over and um help our students who are getting ready for their performance tomorrow in the talent show that's not all um Cathy's got her hands in many many projects and really helped spearhead our 100th Year celebration this year um has a lot of history about Burns and um I was just telling her family that she has a lot of fans here but I'm a big fan of Mrs B so congratulations Kathy and certainly not last but least car Mrs Deb Carol has also worked in the district a long time 20 years so when you talk about how many years were served

008tonight I think collectively we have the majority of years here right at Burns but Mrs Carol is our social worker um she is the first person to answer the radio when I called a for help she's right there right at my becking call she is amazing with students she puts students needs first all the time I want to wish her luck in her next step as a social worker in her private practice she'll be right next door she has been a stellar member of the team she assists students and parents in a capacity to ensure her students find success at Burns I love her honesty and her compassion and the way she presents herself so professionally and kind um with both students and parents so big shoes to fill for Mrs Carol congratulations I hope

015and we value her thank you so much Lisa and we have some Fairfield staff members here this evening to congratulate our retiree Moren who we will miss dearly good evening um we are here representing Fairfield school to honor Moren mcmullen's retirement as our principal it'd be easier if you guys were eight years old Moren has been the Principal at Governor John Fairfield school for 24 years now and during those 24 years she has developed and maintained a positive and caring learning and Community for all students and staff who have walked through the doors Moren has always been a strong advocate for her students and staff she knows exactly what all of our students need to be successful socially behaviorally and academically Moren would always make sure that we the staff had what we needed to

016create the best learning environment for our students to be successful each day we admire a lot about Moren but the one thing that we all find most impressive is the fact that she knows and remembers every single Student's name you could have been a student 20 years ago and she will still remember you many times she'll say didn't you have soand so in your class and we're like uh and we have to go back and look through pictures another example at kindergarten reading she makes sure she greets every single child and family that walks through that door and learns their name so that in the fall she can greet them with a smile and call them by name when students are with Moren either reading a book taking a break or just talking about what's

017happening in their lives she makes them feel incredibly important and respected students Smiles light up when they see her at our various PTO events which she makes sure she never misses Moren has always been very visible throughout the building each and every day as a staff we know that we can always count on her and go to her whenever we have questions or a problem or just need someone to listen if something is wrong professionally or personally we know she'll support us she is truly the glue that holds us all together there's also something to say for her longevity at Fairfield she has been the longest principle that many US of many of us have had and with that longevity she has built respect and Trust within our school teaching dur in the pandemic has

018been a challenging in many different ways for all of us the past two years have not been easy Moren has always been available and willing to support us and our students in any way that she could Moren openly communicated with us daily and made us aware of any changes that could happen within hours that were happening so we were always prepared we have all made it through the stressful unprecedented time with the guidance and support of Moren not only has Moren stuck with us through the tough times she's also been with us through all the joyous times she's been very dedicated not only to the students and her staff but also the s school department as a whole our next principal will have some pretty big shoes to fill we truly wish Moren the best

020of special education programs in the relatively short period of time that I have been at SMS I've had the privilege of Ober observing Chris work with our students there is no doubt that she exemplifies the best qualities of a middle school educator Chris is incredibly committed to the students on her case load and she is focused on their success both academically as well as socially she has a wonderful sense of humor and always always has the best interest of students in mind a staff member told me that she has worked with Chris at uh Sako Middle School for the past eight years and that she was immediately drawn to Chris's quick witted personality she always looked up to Chris's ability to make students she worked with feel comfortable safe and valued the things that she'll

021miss and the things that the entire staff will miss most about working with Chris is her infectious laugh her Priceless stories make you b double over with in laughter but most of all her underlying selfless commitment to her students Chris has been a valued member to our school Community congratulations to Chris on her 15 years at the middle school in good luck in retirement next is Larry rein hardson for 16 years Larry has taught math and English language arts to our gifted and talented students first splitting his time between CK Burns and SMS and then Sony at the middle school for the past eight years Larry is described by his peers as being extremely dedicated to his students and with a great sense of humor Larry holds his students to a very high standard and

022he holds himself to that high standard in in an effort to ensure that they reach their goals he is committed to ensuring that his students are challenged and come away from his classes with a deeper understanding of what they are learning apparently recently described to me her child's experience with Larry as amazing and would hope that whoever takes his place that their child will have a similar connection to an experience with him Larry's dedication and contributions to his students his content into Sako Middle School cannot be measured and will most definitely be missed congratulations Larry on your 16 years in Sako and good luck in retirement [Applause] and finally Janice Johnson Janice has been a valued member of the Sako middle school for 21 years as a school counselor dedicated and tireless are two words

023that come to mind when describing Janice her commitment to her students and our staff has been nothing short of remarkable in addition to counseling our students Janice has also coordinated a plethora of programs and activities for our students including the civil rights team kindness assemblies leadership conferences career Affairs and the list could go on and on in addition Janis has also coordinated a variety of professional development efforts for our staff including speaker trainings uh from the center of preventing hate violence alcohol awareness and substance abuse organize celebrations for students and staff and coordinated schoolwide lessons on sexual assault response Services as well as presentations to parents parents however Janice's contributions to SMS for these past 20 years are best expressed by two of her Middle School colleagues Janice always shares her huge heart with others

027okay any discussion roll call vote Schoolboard member Archie yes Schoolboard member Preble yes Schoolboard member Richard yes I vote Yes Schoolboard member Truman yes and Schoolboard member Johnson yes okay motion passes 60 okay next item on the agenda is adjustments and I don't believe we have any um that brings us to correspondence of which I don't believe there are any either and that brings us then to the public session if anyone wishes to address the school board please come to the podium St your name and address and address the school board okay seeing none I'll go ahead and close the public session and move on to the superintendent report okay good evening everybody um first item to report is just a included a link in your packet um around the msma legislative update with all

028of the new bills and laws um that were passed this year and also those that did not and that is um basically for your reading uh to keep you informed um several items from around the school department this week uh as our current prek students have their stepup days this week uh where they'll visit young school and Fairfield School young school second graders uh will have a presentation from wmtw meteorologist um and a field trip uh that to walk the SMS Trails tomorrow afternoon so that would be great uh Fairfield school has junk to Funk which is visiting again um and this is been a fun event that's occurred prior to co involves a collaboration of musical percussion student uh cooperation uh and finishes with a school performance I he um a lot of things

029are happening at CK Burns last week uh last Friday night we had a big uh PTO event and thank you to the PTO um for putting that on I wish they could have ordered the same weather that young and Fairfield school had the Friday night before but unfortunately we didn't get quite the same weather pack P that night um we also have the celebration of a 100 years that we'll be gearing up for at Burn School uh we heard about our talent show that is happening I believe tomorrow afternoon um and then we also have had a program Girls on the Run uh at Young School where the girls will compete in a 5K race on Sunday June 5th uh in Brunswick and then yesterday it was really great to see um our sixth grade

030graders and some of our seventh graders finally got a field trip out to the Sea Dogs uh we had a lot of different kids from the communities out of the sea doogs not only did they have like the perfect weather day um just having a fun experience uh whether it was catching foul balls or purchasing concessions um just something that was um good to see as we start to see these field trips get out there again um it's just a good sign for our for our students last night uh as you guys all know we had a school construction meeting and all that information um is on the website one of the items that we touched on briefly um at the last meeting and we kind of talked about it briefly at city council meeting

031is learning more about um the fact that the Comfort Inn in Sako will become uh a site that will host a 100 Refugee families starting on June 1st now as far as information that we have we have very little information um I was able to have a conversation with the Department of Education um yesterday uh and again just in the initial steps I have another meeting on Friday with uh York County um but some things that we need to be thinking about here is that uh starting on June 1 for the next year a 100 rooms will be available at the com comfort in um for Refugee families with 95% of those families uh coming from Congo or Angola while we do not have any idea at this point in time um what this will

032mean for student population if all 100 uh rooms are filled it would be easy to expect that we could have a surge of 150 students into our school department in the fall now these students would be on The Young School side um which would also incorporate Burn School SMS uh and the high school and I would say that for The Young School space we are very fortunate that we are constructing four classrooms right now uh because those could be needed um we have contacts with uh Catholic Charities which will be the lead agency involved in this uh relocation and uh we'll begin to hopefully gain access uh with our conversations with the Catholic Charities to space at comfort in because we will need to do many things this summer around making sure registrations getting information

033about kiddos making sure that we have uh a clear understanding of what grade levels and spaces this will require for us to adjust with over the summer now as we look at um some of the funding that um has been designated for the state for educational resettlement there is a half a million dollars available for the entire state so certainly um when we think about funds that we will need to work on uh and figure out this is something that is not planned in our budget and something that as a community we will need to have discussions about uh to figure out how that we are um get the information to support students when they come here starting on June 1st while we're not sure that a June 1st arrival for All Families is something

034that will happen we've been told that probably closer to the middle of or end of July we'll have a better understanding of the amount of students um that will be coming in in our directions while I know it's um you know probably a little lot of questions that come up about this this is what I'm reading to you is the information that I have in that is is inclusive of everything at this time um so this will be a situation that we will need to be heavily involved with as a school department to make sure that we are providing supports for families and going through the process um and I'll keep you updated um throughout the coming weeks and months as we learn more um about how new students will be welcomed to Sako schools

035thank you thank you any questions for the superintendent okay moving on to the chair's report um I have one quick item um also probably doesn't have a lot of detail either um Jeff Sarah and myself um did meet with Representatives uh the Sako um Education Association to discuss the calendar item that we've talked about from time to time um the end result of that um conversation which was very productive was that we um they'll be drafting anou to um outline the way in which we're going to um address the the gap between the calendar and and what the expectation is and so that is I believe in process and I think when we get that back then we'll uh probably meet specifically on that just to go over the details okay the next item is

036Staff reports and there are none in the packet um there are um there's only one subcommittee minute um meeting minutes for strategic the next finance committee was this evening um I don't know the next one is in June we need to talk about the June date later in the count all right that brings us to Old business there's no old business um the first item under new business is new hires chair of Fortune yes did I jump the gun no you can go right ahead and make a motion I move we approve the nomination of hi Hawks Sak middle school counselor and Madison Van Cleave occupational therapist and issue a contract for the 2022 2023 school year second okay motion made by Sarah Truman second by Beth Johnson okay any discussion okay roll call vote

037Schoolboard member Archie yes Schoolboard member Preble yes Schoolboard member Richard yes I vote Yes Schoolboard member Truman yes and school member Johnson yes motion passes 60 okay that brings us to the next item which is resignations uh I'll take another hit at this uh I move we accept the resignation of Jen Ruel sule Middle School instructional coach and Maria Bernard CK Burns school counselor effective at the end of the 2021 2022 school year second okay motion made by Sarah Truman seconded by Beth Johnston okay any discussion okay roll call vote Schoolboard member Archie yes Schoolboard member Preble yes School Board member Richard yes I vote Yes Schoolboard member Truman yes and member Johnson yes and motion passes 60 that brings us to item C which is the co update in your packet like every other

038school committee meeting is just an update on the numbers uh that we see with uh covid cases throughout the district as you can see after vacation like other vacations we had that Spike and we are on the hopefully the continued downward um positivity rates um but an update for you you guys as a school committee okay any questions okay moving on to the next item it's the water sampling update as you know um earlier this year when we had our first test for um water sampling lead in pipes based off a new law uh we had several situations where um we had more than four parts per billion uh for lead in some of our pipes which we in in some of our fixtures um which as a result uh created a situation where we

039had to have new testing uh as you can see from the mitigation plan um and results that are linked online the second set came back very very good um and that we have uh and correct me if I'm wrong one I believe one fixture in the entire District um that is a drinking drinking fting at SMS that we need to replace based off that situation that uh Fountain is currently out of service uh and we are uh in the rep replacement process so that became better news and we had anticipated from the first test any uh any questions with superintendent okay moving on to the next item which is the Learning Center um Learning Works Grant okay um so I would ask Meg or Chris to come forward and talk a little bit about this

040um this is a really exciting opportunity that we applied for with learning works which is um a community based nonprofit that operates out of Portland we have worked with un learning works on the bitterford side for like 10 plus years uh providing after school programming for some of our our students in need uh and Meg can tell you a little bit about the grant that we are awarded in Sako so we're very excited to be partnering with learning works and um especially with the grant funding that we were able to acquire to provide that programming the first stage of that programming will be an extension of our summer school programming to allow our K2 families to have programming from 12: to 4:00 p.m. which will create a full day of programming for those students which

041we know is advantageous for those families of young children that might find a half-day program to be challenging given schedules their programming is designed to provide learning but also in an enrichment and and experiential way so that students have exposure to literacy and numeracy through projects and through Hands-On activities and the grant will continue through the fall to provide after school programming specifically at Fairfield the funding requires that title one status so we're uh hopeful that in that partnership with them we can understand how to continue to expand that programming across the district awesome thank you m great thank you all right moving on to the next item which is the selection of delegates for the msba annual delegate assembly which I believe is I have to open it up so in your packet is

042an email from Ms the main School Board Association um where this is an opportunity for at the delegates assembly for you guys to nominate someone who would attend that be able to vote on resolutions um or items there um that are brought before that group and I need to have a delegate if we plan to have somebody attend those uh that virtual training so the delegate assembly just if you hav't seen the the email is on Saturday the 22nd of October and it's at 9:30 in the starts at 9:30 in the morning and it is going to be held virtually so it's not a a trip to Augusta it's a virtual meeting and certainly this is something if you guys want to talk about this and think about this we have time um before we

043have to get this in but if you have made that decision we can take that tonight I think maybe the best approach is probably maybe think about it and then come back to the next meeting with this item perfect unless someone is raring to go right now okay we'll put it off to the next meeting and then that brings us to First reading of policies is there a motion Mr here yes um I move we approve the first reading of policies JL Wellness J L-R nutrition program guidelines and jb-- E superintendent job description second okay motion made by Beth Johnson seconded by SAR Truman any discussion okay roll call vote Schoolboard member yes School Board member Preble yes Schoolboard member Richard yes I vote Yes Schoolboard member Truman yes School Board member Johnston yes okay

044motion passes 60 and that brings us to the last item on the agenda which is the school committee meeting date for July and June for June and July so I just like to talk about that I had emailed you guys about the next meeting being on the 8th which is the week before um our budget uh validation vote and thinking that it would typically be why to make sure that our meeting that month is after that in case we had to well knock on wood we won't have to um in case we have to take any action uh I had originally po proposed uh June 15th as that date but also uh thank you to Sarah for reaching out that is our promotion for SMS that night and so I believe we said that we

045could do the 16th at five would be something if that is something uh that we can consider uh for a group in July um I need to be uh at a main School management uh National event for as for aasa the advocacy conference in Washington DC um and so you can keep that date the same and Meg can uh chair that meeting um or you could switch that to the next Wednesday night I do suspect that during July um with the information that I shared around uh possibly increase in students we are going to have to have some school committee meetings uh on on additional week so uh that may not that may be a situation where you can leave that one and Meg can chair that meeting um or switch that as we gather

046more information over the summertime so June 16th we'll start with that um I like the proposal of having it after the school budget um vote just in case um rather than having one on the eth and then having to slot one in um I'm fine with that I don't know if anyone else uh on the board has a problem with that date and time I don't have a problem with doing it after the um after the voting as I mentioned to Mr Ray that we have um the promotion night that night um that goes from like 6:00 to 6:45 and then they have a big party afterwards but um I'm totally I'm I think 5:00 on Thursday would work for me so seeing a lot of head nods I think that uh that day works

047works for everyone and so the date in July that we were tossing around so we can continue to have that on the 13th I believe is the Wednesday night um and Meg would be available to um chair that meeting or uh if you feel that you would like be in attendance that that month the 20th would be the next week I don't have a problem with either date I'm not sure if anyone else has I don't have any conflicts and I don't see any problem with either scenario so I will be out of town the week of the 13th okay if it makes a difference then why don't we shoot for the 20th 700 p.m. or 5:00 P p.m. which would that land on that is a 7 p.m. p.m 7.m does it have to

048be at 7 p.m. or can we do five I'm going to need to change that that date with both of those so I could do a 500m uh here oh right because you have your bitterford one right okay yeah so that's fine I'm I'm if time is TB for right now let me get back to you after because the same request is going to be made in about an hour and 45 minutes from from right now okay so just to recap we're looking to have a meeting on the 16th of June at 5: PM uh which is a Thursday and then potentially having a meeting in July on the 20th time to be determined did you say that you were anticipating maybe needing to have another meeting in July or are you hoping just that
