003this evening if you would kindly please come to the podium um list your name and address for the record and three minutes oh three minutes okay my name is Susan abart I work at CK Burn School in the pth program uh I was going to spend some time giving you some details about myself about my financial situation um because I am here to talk about edtech pay um I am aware as our many that the legislature uh made a suggestion about uh what amount how much to raise at tech pay I also know that the district the superintendent pushed back against that and indicated that they would be willing or able to give only a part of that they reduced that amount substantially um and I'm here to tell you um my financial situation is
004dire I am not alone in that I work 35 hours a week I face physical injury every single day I face uh emotional abuse and yet I'm still here I come back every day because I love the students I cannot afford my rent I can't well my rent my food my car payment my utilities and everything else I don't make enough money to cover all of that I have to go to Food cupboards on a regular basis to feed myself in addition to all of that I don't have enough money to fix my car since January I've been walking to work 20 minutes One Way um and while it gets me in shape it's not something I really enjoy all that much I think the fact that this district and every other District really always
005manages to find the funding for a public for a new school and don't get me wrong that's hard work I know how much work you have to do to make that happen but whenever we talk about raising pay for teachers or edcs it's always a cry of poverty and it's something we hear again and again another thing to consider is that the legislature is trying to make you raise our pay they didn't have to make you pay your admin as much as you pay them which is a comfortable salary it's deserved but the despair it between what I make and what they make is huge you did that no one made you do it you did it because you want good people and you want them to stay once they're here but the same goes
006for your edcs and your secretaries and your admin assistants if my rent gets raised I'm going to be in even more trouble I came here tonight to say that that situ situation so many achs and and support staff being in that situation is really execrable you have lost and will continue to lose many good people who work with the children in your care show us that you care about them and us and stop telling the world that it's impossible it's what you're here for I once last year had to stand in a puddle of my students urine for 20 minutes he was escalated and attacking everyone around him was it Pleasant no it was not but I did it because that's part of my job it's part of your job to make sure that your
007employees are taken care of and not teetering on the brink of homelessness or poverty and that's really the way it is for many of us so please please prove me wrong and don't let a cloud of Shame hang over this District because it doesn't take care of its own thank you thank you anyone else wish to come before the school board and speak please state your name for the record and address seeing that nobody else is seeking recognition um we will move on to the superintendent's report superintendent Ray all right good evening everybody as we wrap up the school year our schools have been busy very busy with many end of the year events uh that occur oh at a whirlwinds pace from our community nights at Fairfield to Young School to events uh of
008transitioning third graders and sixth graders uh people have been extremely busy throughout the uh the end of the year um One Piece that's really important for the community and important for our especially our elementary principles is that we need to have prek and K information if you are planning to register in the fall uh currently at Young School we have done a great job with people and families reaching out but and that's over 100 I think we're at 104 Jeff is we're at about 80 on the Fairfield side of school um and what makes it very challenging for our staff from Transportation or others is that when those come in late it's hard for us to make sure that we're planning appropriately for class placement do we have enough teachers those types of things um
009so very important if you see those to get in also a reminder for students who are currently in the district uh if you're planning on moving or if there's any change to your um daycare or those schedules bus information is vital to us it allows operations to go smoothly the first week if there are those changes um want to thank people uh who made out to vote yesterday um while it was a very small number that got out to vote we were glad to see that 322 people uh voted in support of the school budget to 89 against uh thank you for for the staff from the city who runs those elections as that can be a long day um principes have been working really hard to hire as quickly as possible to secure a
010staff for the um upcoming school year and they've done a nice job with that and then Mike in the back has been working really hard with all of the capital projects that we have coming up uh over the summertime from bleacher installs to Roofing projects to doors to paintings to security upgrades uh it's going to be an extremely busy summer any questions oh and Friday is the last day of school for all of those half day on Friday uh thank you for everybody who uh have worked hard uh throughout the school year and had a successful school year for our students um Friday will be last our last day and I know today was probably a tough one with the end of week extra hour that we added on so that we didn't have to
011come to so that we didn't have to uh come back uh on Monday uh Tuesday thank you all right any questions or discussion for superintendent Ray on his report all right moving on to the next item chair's report I don't have anything new to report this evening um and I see for the next item staff reports we don't have any staff reports so moving on to board subcomittee committing meeting minutes policy and Personnel committee um is meeting 6:14 which is today they met at 5:30 pm our finance and infrastructure committee meeting our next meeting I would presume is June 23rd and not August 23rd um I believe that's a meeting at 4M no we we don't meet the next time this don't meet the next time it'll be in July so in July okay um

016comments all right thank you again we appreciate all the years you've been with us it's been very many um school um roll call vote School Board member Archie yes School Board member Richards yes I vote Yes School Board member Le Fortune yes School Board member Gail yes School Board member Truman yes School Board member Johnston yes motion pass to 70 okay now we're going back to item C school board meeting calendar there was a memo memo in the um packet with the current calendar that is proposed um do I have a motion on the table for the school calendar as proposed uh school um chair prebble yes School Board member I move we approve option I think it's two of the school board meeting calendar the one that was originally proposed is that oh okay
017I the one I just opened said this one says Ah draft two I too unfortunately do not have internet bear with me oh I see option one so okay let me rephrase that yep I see where it says it disappears when I move it around um I move we approve option one of the school board meeting calendar second I have a motion by Schoolboard member Truman with a second from school board member Richards discussion sorry School member Gil no problem um I guess just following up on the conversation from last meeting uh if we're going to move with option one then I'd like to make an amendment to change the 5:00 pm meeting times to 5:30 okay so currently we have option one for the Schoolboard calendar in a motion with a second by Schoolboard
018member Richards with an amendment I by School Board member Gil I believe we have to correct me if I'm wrong vote on the first part first and then consider an amendment oh second on am I stand corrected I apologize so is there a second for the amendment as proposed by Schoolboard member Gail changing the time from 5:00 pm to 5:30 p.m. I do not have a second on the amendment therefore the amendment fails um going back to the original motion as proposed by School Board member Truman seconded by School Board member Richards to accept the option one school calendar for the 2023 2024 school year further discussion I think it's important to um keep meetings um because we have a lot of business attend to we're elected officials I think offering 5 o'clock and then
0197 o'clock of gives people plenty of opportunity to come to our meetings and um you know as you know when we ran for school board we understood that those were the times for those meetings and planned accordingly further discussion or comments School Board member Gil I mean I've talked about it a lot I'm not going to get into it over and over again I think five o'clock is not a good time to have a Schoolboard meeting I don't think it's accessible to the folks we're one of the few in the state that have a five o' Schoolboard meeting I just don't think it's fair to the community I thought 5:30 would be a nice um compromise but I guess um not and that's fine but I just continue to thank five o00 is not a
020reasonable time um School Board member Argie um will I understand what you're saying and I feel for where you're coming from um but my problem is is that the five o'clock meetings are crunched as they are um and if we push it back to 5:30 I feel like we won't get anything done um to me the one meeting a month is it it doesn't make any sense to me um and honestly having these two options is kind of like when I was a kid my mom would make dinner and it's like oh this is what you get or you get nothing so um obviously I'm not in favor of either uh because I feel like the 5 p.m. start times are too close to the bords that I've discussed that before I mean prime example
021Jeremy had to leave the last meeting because we were getting close um so I'm not going to Second your 530 and uh I'm probably not going to vote for this one School Board member Johnston um thank you I am I think really quite well satisfied with the way that we've been doing this with the option that Sarah's motion suggested I think it actually does give people maybe not every time we have a school board meeting but let's say at least maybe once a month somebody can come to a 5:00 meeting or if not they can come to a 7 o'cl meeting um I I really feel that it's important maybe even more importantly I feel like it's important to have not every month there are some exceptions but for the most part to have two
022meetings a month because one that gives anyone who's part of the public at least two times a month to potentially come and talk to us um and you know it's not necessarily comfortable or whatever for people to email us although we encourage them to do that if they have a concern but I think in addition to all of that the work of the board in some some cases might be able to be done successfully in one month in one meeting a month but by and large I think it's not adequate and although we can call emergency meetings if we found the need to do so I just think it keeps our Pace going at a better rate if we continue with two meetings a month thank you further discussion anybody else Schoolboard J sorry I'm
023seem to be losing my voice that's okay School Board member Truman I would just like to also add that I don't think that a five o'clock is a disservice to the community uh in the sense that not everybody works on 9 to5 some people work 7 to S some people work third shift and regardless of the time our audience is typically the same and the people who cannot be here in person have the option to watch it live on Facebook and they can also watch it next Tuesday if that's when they have time to do it because it's recorded and placed online for them to watch it and if they do have comments they are welcome to either write in or someone else can come in and speak on their behalf that has happened before
024in the past so I think we've made that opportunity for people to see and hear what we are doing in as many ways as possible with two different times and if I just don't think that everything needs to be at 7 o'clock I think personally I think five and seven gives more people an opportunity to come if they so choose but again our audience is limited as it is so so that's my two further discussion all right seeing there's no further discussion roll call Vote or do I have a motion I have a motion yes option one for the school calendar for the 2023 2024 school year um can I have a roll call vote School Board member Archie no school board member Richards yes I vote Yes School Board member Le Fortune yes School
025Board member Gail no school board member Truman yes School Board member Johnston yes motion passes five yes two no moving on to item d new construction I'm sorry School construction update classroom and unified arts teacher counts superintendent Ray so prior to classroom and unified teacher counts which uh Miss par CL will be in just want to give an update of where we are on the school construction uh piece we are at a point where this is now really waiting for do information this is all about turn lanes and traffic counts and all of those pieces and so we met met several weeks ago with Department of Transportation took some of that information to the the the do doe um in school construction and now are back with the Department of Transportation looking at all of
026the work that they've done on right turns left turns intersection width of roads and waiting for final recommendations and approvals for walking s for sidewalks connection trails to um the it's blue blue Haven um which is a smaller subdivision in that area um and that is the piece that is really kind of slowed us down from being able to move forward um I as I said to you guys uh in an email the thought of November election is very very challenging at this time because there's just we are kind of sitting around waiting for recommendations to come our way um and so we're just kind of playing a waiting game to get final recommendations from the dot before we can take next steps Meg and I meet with the Department of Education on the 28th
027in Augusta um and may can come up and talk to you a little bit more about classroom and unified our teachers counts as we continue to move forward with the design of the school and all of those kind of nuan type things um but we can't get site approval until do do has completed all of that work and our recommendations are done there um so mag do you want to come up on that piece so I wanted to take an opportunity to share that we've been able to post some of the visuals that we have shared prior to um at our last public building meeting that had some of those floor plan layouts we have those posted in City Hall um big copies in each of our schools and we've been Distributing to some other
028high visibility areas including the library parks and wreck um pickle ball courts and if you have any other suggestions for places that might be high visibility areas we're definitely open to that we want to be sure that folks have had access to see some of those initial floor plans as part of that work I was able to spend some time at each school and speak with staff members about their initial thoughts with respect to those floor layouts one of the big questions is around classrooms and unified Arts so we're continuing to take a look at what the unified Arts offerings will be and really using a framework of thinking about the prek students being in one building and the one through five students in another building and as we shared in the educational specifications really
029stepping back from jamming what we have into a new building and using it as an opportunity to think about what's age appropriate for students in each of those buildings and how might we offer opportunities that would expose students to unified Arts that are relevant and forward thinking at present the doe has uh said that we're looking towards classrooms that would accommodate up to 1100 students though that's not the population that we anticipate beginning with so uh we're continuing to look at some of those spaces as being a little bit flexible in terms of having an ability to have 11 classroom teachers at some grade levels or if there are years where that's not warranted having 10 or nine but with the setup that we've proposed it would allow for 11 at every grade level so
030we didn't have disparate grade levels of students being aart from their grade level peers in any particular bump years when there are 11 is there anything else you wanted me to add with respect to that superintendent Ry I think other than we will need to come back with the Ed Ed specs again and have a the board approve at some point the commitment that if classrooms needed to have 11 teachers we would be there and then what's been a little bit hard for the process is just now also thinking about building the schedule because one of the things that we will have to work on over the course of this of the summer is continuing to refine what a daily schedule would be and a lot of that depends on how the lunch room is
031set up because if the size as we negotiated the size of the lunchroom that depends on the amount of minutes and the time and and how people can serve lunch on one half and then go to the other side and work through that day on top of that making sure that um as we made changes to uh preparation time for teachers to hit that how we make sure that we have the right number of uas so that classrooms can go all at one time and then fin not not finalizing but diving a little bit deeper into what that schedule would look like so that we can be double checked and triple checked rooms and spaces and allocations and you know even when you think about um you know when you build a schedule for your
032current buildings that you're in principles have that knowledge of how fast things move for the lunch line or how long it takes for you know the back corner to to go to walk down to say stem class that's an amount of time in a building that's going to be much larger and you think about your day all of those pieces are going to have to come into play so um that will be some of the work that we'll be doing this summer all right any questions for superintendent raid um School Board Gale for the main dot study for the improvements that they identify who's on the hook for that is that Doe or is that Sako I think that's yet to be determined um I know that had mentioned in the last meeting that some
033of the things that they had recommended were a couple of miles from the site like um traffic lights out on Industrial Park and certainly the department of education because it's their project certainly pushes back a little bit um and so I think a lot of that's to be negotiated certain off-site improvements around traffic lights that is close to the site will probably be part of the school construction project so Incorporated within that Doe amount that will be cover correct now if there's some local thing or something different because of walking path that you want or some of that that could come back to the local side but probably a lot of negotiations to happen between those two departments at the state level are we are we in those negotiations with them then some of them
034we are um and and certainly what will happen next is once those recommendations come from the do then the doe wants a lot of time to review those compare those to other projects they've done ask why they might want this like one of those would be that we've had a discussion about is the doe would probably look at what their current allowances for like car lineup in weight that they're now kind of granting more from because of just Trends and drop off and those types of things um so that would be something that would be covered what they do offsite is probably the one piece that will be negotiable between the doe the do and Sako of what is needed but I'm not sure that we're at a point where I could give you we
035don't have a solid yet and I guess when we're when we the school are at the table with those three entities is is the city of Sako with Public Works director FOX also at the table to help determine whether or not probably not so much with the negotiations he was there with at some of the uh meetings with the do to provide his input of what he thinks should or should not happen any other questions or discussion yeah who do we need to call it do all right any other questions or discussion all right we are moving on to the next item which is an update on the staff Wellness fair I believe super assistant superintendent Park Hurst is going to give us an update so last week we were able to host our Wellness
036fair for staff the intent is both to promote overall well-being as well as help educate staff as to opportunities that they might be able to provide students within the classroom we had a variety of vendors with Wellness offerings and we also had some team building opportunities for staff to be able to work together through uh Jazz Reise led by one of our principes or some cornhole um pickle ball and some other offerings so it was a great opportunity for staff to be able to collaborate we also had um benefits and uh Horus man and things of of financial nature so that staff had an opportunity to access those human resources related opportunities as well and we were very pleased to have just under 200 staff members attend that event happy to answer any questions any
037questions all right well thank you for that update we are moving on to item f word study curriculum resource recommendation I believe that is assistant superintendent Parkers thank you so in the attached memo you'll find a little bit more detail about a resource that we've been discussing for quite some time our initial review began in the 2122 school year and after that review of 23 different resources in the area of phonics pheic awareness vocabulary and spelling we had one that really Rose to the top for our three through five students and the board voted to adopt those resources for this school year for 3 through five for our K2 Learners we had a little bit more of a difficult decision and really felt it was important to pil it to different resources through the course
038of this year to be sure that we were we making a decision that was in the best interest of our students the reason that was not on the table for 35 is that one of the programs that we piloted for K2 is the same Resource as 35 and the other one only offers a K2 option so there would have been no ability to have a K5 scope with that particular resource for students so that's the the reasoning for that faster adoption 35 there are fewer resources and the team was confident that the one we selected was appropriate whereas we had a little bit of a larger choice for the K2 area where uh that's more part of their curriculum than it is for three through five students after um working with the pilot groups over
039the course of this year working with external facilitators to provide professional development with both resources and grade level team meetings to explore the different resources we uh came up with a lot of different things that we're working about each of the K2 resources as well as some challenges that we will continue to work through uh with all of that in mind our recommendation is around two specific resources one which has been used in the district for quite some time which is hegerty and that's specifically focusing on pheic awareness which is the ability to hear and distinguish sounds in speech and then another resource that focuses on Phonics also has some phic awareness in there spelling and word study which is titled fontis and panel word study this will then be an adoption of that resource
040for all grades K5 and hegr pheic awareness for grades prek through 1 with intervention resources available for students in grade two so that if they still have some gaps in those skills around phic awareness we're able to Target get smaller groups of students to close those gaps rather than a core classroom resource we also recognize that it's not just about taking a book off the shelf and teaching exactly what's in there there is some work to be done with our staff in coming up to speed with brain research and research around reading and so we are looking at a smaller staff book study this summer with a book called a fresh look at phonic common causes of failure and ingredients for Success around phonic instruction and depending on the success of that book study we
041may launch something larger with all staff so that we're not only building the resources but building that pedagogical infrastructure for our teacher teachers to be able to address those needs for students I would like a motion to ensure that the board supports the adoption of these resources ources but I'm certainly happy to answer any questions related to the memo any questions super um School Board member Archie this was really informative memo and I appreciate you putting the time and putting in the up for us um and I will put through the motion second okay we have a motion by School Board member Archie with a second by School Board member Gail discussion what school board member G just also wanted to Echo um already mentioned about the the memo being um great and provided a
042lot of good information so thank you for providing that I would also like to thank our curriculum design team members and pilot teachers because they really collaborated on ensuring that we had appropriate backup to support and really pushed some of the questions about what would or wouldn't work with students going back to school board member Archie could you state your motion for me please for the record Meg what do you want me to say the top two bullets on page three of the memo the adoption of the resource fontas and penel word study for grade levels K through five and Adoption of the resource hegerty okay um yeah I would like to put it through a motion uh for the adoption of the fontas and finel word for K through five and the adoption of
043hegy awareness for pre through one um with the intervention resources available for grade two and School Board member Gail is that sufficed as your second it does all right any other further discussion thank you for clarifying School Board member RT I appreciate that uh roll call vote School Board member Archie yes School Board member Richards yes I vote yes myself School Board member L Fortune yes School Board member Gail yes School Board member Truman yes School Board member Johnston yes motion passes 70 thank you thank you all right moving on to item G which is dis agreement for copers um there is a memo in your packet um superintendent Ray I don't know if you want to elaborate further on the memo yes um technology director striker um has worked with SPC over the years
044I believe it's also The copier company that the city uses uh and we look to go out to bid for a five-year solution um also keeping in mind that by doing this now thinking about possibility of new schools we would then be kind of negotiating as we were entering that setup again uh if everything went well um but essentially what Chris was able to bring back was a solution that uh creates a projected annual Savings of $15,000 a year versus our current situation um so I would recommend approving this uh to move forward uh to create the savings and also have um a new five-year agreement in place any questions for superintendent right so are you looking for both motions one to approve the amount and then another one to approve yes there was two
