001thank you all right Rob just told me when okay got it all right good evening everyone and welcome to the special school committee meeting that we are having on Thursday February 2nd 2023 this Gunther roll call vote please John news yeah Mary Wade here Kathleen Amaral here Shannon Jenkins Chris Oliver yeah just so everyone is aware uh Dr Jenkins is uh unfortunately out of town and uh due to the bad weather down South has been stranded so we just wish our safe travels home uh purpose of today's special meeting is to uh to pick the parents to uh sit uh on the uh pupil uh support service administrative committee to parents and also one the superintendent's search committee and to pick chairs for both of those committees uh what I'd like to do uh if
002no one has any objections unless I'm reading something wrong is we'll start with the uh for a pupil uh the pupil support service administrator uh as I look at my list and again you guys know how I am uh I've got three names there's three names that submitted am I correct or am I missing somebody I think I believe that is correct I I had in somebody I have Christine uh Mathis Matthias I'm not sure I apologize Elisa Simmons and a Kyle Ross that's who I have who applied so I would um if my two cents are worth anything um Lisa Simmons um as one of the parents um out of the I certainly um appreciate her letter of interest yeah and I apologize somebody taking to the door right now some dog is gonna
003go crazy um and um I if I may go ahead um I certainly recommend not that I don't recommend Lisa I just I'm just uh in terms of who I'm familiar with which is maybe I'll end all but uh Christine um Matthias and Kyle Ross are two families who are really I feel the epitome of like a family school partnership not to say Lisa is not but they both also have indicated an interest to serve in some capacity potentially on the superintendent search committee as well so I know they have an interest in either um but I would like to see them both in some capacity on one or the other because they do think they would both add value so that's um my two cents for that foreign no I I don't have a
004strong opinion on certainly you know will defer to your judgment on this one um you know I don't know you know these individual folks but I you know certainly I'm I'm grateful they all expressed interest and you know that in itself speaks volumes so that their their willingness to go through this process but you know again I'll defer to you know the other three of you anybody I uh my two cents uh as Chris says what it's worth uh I had uh in all seriousness I had uh Lisa Simmons and uh Christine those were those were the two that I had that is what I had on my list too but again I you know that again based on letters but I'm certainly happy again yeah yeah I don't we can't lose either way here
005I don't think right my uh my sense of the matter so committees committee's uh Choice here Chris do you have anything no I I've already I already uh chimed in at the beginning okay yeah uh Dr Gifford you're muted um yeah John I don't know if you're seeing Kathleen keeps raising her hand I don't know if you missed that I'm sorry thank you I yeah I apologize I'm looking do me a favor this this is I should raise my hand I should have used the little race hand thing we've got to no no that's all right listen Justin uh do me a favor just yell if I'm not because I'm also looking at notes to my left that's okay and I know we're talking about parents but I I would be remiss if I didn't
006also mention just one thing that I did notice and I I brought up um and and uh was that for the I don't recall the total number that we wanted on that committee and if there was less sort of interest for that committee than there was for you know the superintendent's uh committee um but two of the secretarial staff from the special ed office indicated an interest in serving um I'm I'm just putting it out there that I know we had um discussed sort of having folks from all levels be part of both of these searches I recall um and I just put it out there that um uh Mandy and Jessica both indicated an interest in serving and I I missed the opportunity to suggest that at our last meeting and I just put
007it to the committee uh um for perhaps discussion or consideration that we just fits the box of also being a parent um so I just put that out there I felt that I needed to do that because it would certainly enriched um if we were to make a decision one way or the other well what it's worth my my take on it is with regards to you know whatever we're working on tonight is the names that we were given is where I want to would like to uh to concentrate on so if somebody wants to make a motion or one or two of uh these three parents uh I'm willing to to go to go along and see where we go who who is the other person I'm sorry that's all right no problem we
008have we've got Christine uh Matthias and Lisa Simmons and Kyle Ross I'll make a motion that we appoint uh Christine Matthias and um Lisa Simmons to the part the pupil Services administrator search committee I'll second that all right so we have a motion by Mr Oliver a second by Ms wait to appoint uh Christine Matthias and Lisa Simmons and uh to the uh pupil uh support administrator as the parent Representatives uh any other discussion if you're hearing none roll call since we're on Zoom roll call vote Please Mr Gunther John Nunes yes Mary Waite yes Kathleen Amaral yes Chris Oliver yes that's that one and again you know I think I've said it enough times and I don't mean to be a broken record but you know both of these committees both this one and
009the uh the superintendent search is going to be uh there's work that's going to be involved and also uh you know you've got to be available and I hope I said it enough times and everyone understands that uh when there's meetings and and such uh they're going to have to happen so that's that uh Mr chair yes ma'am sir uh thank you um any any uh interest in having any further discussion on the email received from Mrs Vieira no okay no no not no okay I just just wanted to bring it up thank you no problem no thank you okay uh one of the other the other thing about like I said take care of the pupil support service uh service administrator um looking for a uh chair and or uh co-chair for uh that
010committee type of deal uh I'm looking my my thought is uh seeing if uh Mr Martin and uh and or Mr Hayes uh would be interesting in Sharing or and or co-chairing all right are you looking for oh do we need to vote on this is that what word is that what you're recommending I'm not you know do you want to vote on it or do you just want me to to talk to them I think I'm just sorry all right Mary well I just wanted to energize because I'm thinking back to uh Shannon's comment you know way back when when this came up with the superintendent search and it did seem like something again like that she had felt strongly that it was something that we need to discuss as a group and have
011you know consensus on you know if we were you know reaching out to someone specifically as a uh as a chair so again I don't have a strong opinion on this but I'm just you know again in terms of protocol you know and thinking back you know that you know based on that conversation I think we should probably vote or at least able to you know to to enable you know John to then or Mr news to reach out yeah no I I I I agree I certainly that was my intention with the superintendent search committee but uh yeah you know this is a little bit different right we appoint this position at the recommendation kind of uh the superintendent no this is the the uh the this this position of the pupil support uh
012service administrator is one that we appoint I I understand Mr Nunes I I certainly agree and I I agree that we need to vote we will we have to vote on it as a school committee in public session right um however I think it would be foolish to not have input from the superintendent of schools oh all right okay I apologize I see what you're saying Chris okay I you know that's all yeah all right so let's go back to where we are with uh the chair of co-chair for the uh [Music] people support service administrator any thoughts well I guess Mary you know and again I don't know if it's but you know I would also put out you know um having Kathleen you know take the chair you know or co-chair you know
013based on her wealth of experience you know certainly she brings that lens you know and and brings together many parties so she knows the families you know she has the expertise in special education you know of course CPAC I just uh so you know again I don't know if that's something that you know Miss Amarillo want to take on but I I certainly would I think you know she's clearly you know well versed in the content and would be an excellent coordinator of the committee that would be my my thinking so yeah I would um I would certainly agree with you uh Mrs Waite um if Kathleen or um Mrs Amber also inclined well to be a co-chair I like I actually like the co-chair idea yeah again you know I I'm eligible to uh
014to any and all discussion here Kathleen yeah I mean I certainly uh would would accept that responsibility I think I would I would do it uh justice in terms of I know you would thank you so all right so do we want to all right so do we want to put a co-chair in here just as no disrespect to Kathleen as a backup I think that's a good especially when there's so many meetings I mean I you know Kathleen do you have any thoughts looking at you know since this would be you'd be one of the you know presumably now one of the you know we developer co-chairs do you have any thoughts um you know of someone that you know whether it's Mr Martin Mr Hayes or someone that you think would be a
015good you know support in this role well I I do think that either one of of the two would be an excellent perfect you know appropriate choice I I wouldn't I don't feel one way or the other um I think they both equally would um will be good yeah all right so so I'll just start by can I make emotions and nominate Kathleen Amaral as one of the two co-chairs for the people support Administration search committee about the cat yes okay you want to say can you Kathleen you want a second you're on a Chris you want me I will second that but do we just want to make the motion together put in someone else Mrs White um yeah I don't know whatever the protocol I mean again I'll defer no we can put
016them both in that's fine okay all right well then you know um I I just you know I'm smart Mr Hayes are both great I don't have a strong so and I think again to you know Miss Amarillo's point will do an excellent job so yeah if you don't it's hard to choose well I would ask that yeah I would ask that you either uh withdraw your motion or add someone and I will uh oh okay okay I'll I'll make a motion um to have uh Mr Martin and Kathleen Amaral as uh the people support Administration co-chairs I'll second though okay thank you so we have a we have a motion by uh Miss weight in a second by Mr Oliver to have uh Kathleen Amaral and uh Miss Mike Mike Martin High School uh
017the system principle uh be the co-chairs of the uh pupil support service administrative search any other discussion hearing nuns roll call vote please miss Gunther John Nunes yes Mary Waite yes Kathleen Amaral yes Chris Oliver yes thank you okay now for the superintendents sir if my math is any good I got uh 21. 21 good names right okay type of type of deal unfortunately we did get one uh too late uh on the 31st but again thank you to everyone who applied right all right uh I'll open it up so I have what was the closing date I'm sorry 4 4 P.M on this on January 31st thank you okay and the one that I have uh uh that's late was uh the email was sent at 6 32. Patrick okay okay um Mary yeah
018so I think just as for one of the two I would like to see Monique Alexander um she for several reasons one is you know Liz Korea put her up she was the first letter that we received um she is uh from Demello we have no one else on the committee who represents Demello so as a parent from Demello she is I believe four children between the elementary and middle school um you know we also don't have any diversity on that committee she's also she's also a woman of color um and I you know and to add to that she also served on a school committee um in her previous town in New Hampshire so she has that lens of being from a different school um and and again I think uh you know just
019you know I don't know her well she's you know for me she's just an acquaintance but everything I I've seen and you know and uh in her letter and you know in her interest and you know she has the the commitment and the time and again brings a different lens to the committee so I'd like to see her be one of the two okay all right it will just we'll just discuss this for now Kathleen yeah like um I yeah you know it's so hard to pick we have right everyone is qualified right so it's sort of uh um I was trying to think of a way of um narrowing down my own thinking of how we're going to deliberate on this um like I said in the previous um committee with the people support
020administrator uh we had the two folks that two fam two parents that indicated interest for both I would really I think it's very very important that one of our selections be somebody that has uh lived experience with the special education system um and for that purpose I would propose Kyle Ross beyond that committee um he and his family have a um much experience and they partner really well with with their school um and uh then to to Mary's point I was then thinking well we have who was actually recommended by Administration and so we have Lorraine Silva she was recommended by Administration Monique was recommended and of course there are of the 20-something there are a good half a dozen or so who I know very well I think would serve well and it's not
021to say the folks I don't know or many I don't know everyone and you know and they're all qualified um so I do agree with Mary I think Monique would be great um but again I I would also like to see the special education lens represented on this committee I think that's very very important um and I I served that purpose when Dr Gifford was um was uh um uh selected and I just would like to see that be a thread within this committee you know within this committee as it's important for the special ed Director people support administrator acquisition um so my thought would be in just a discussion would be Monique and Kyle Ross okay and what is Monique's last name Alexander thank you Alexander Mr a-l-e-x-a-n-d-e-r that's what that's what I have
022yep thank you no problem and am I am I up next yeah fine go right ahead sir I I certainly uh first of all I I think speaking for myself and I want to believe on behalf of the committee the full committee you know we certainly uh once the uh the request went out publicly uh in the media that we certainly got a lot of um letters of interest um from a number of community members uh parents so just thank you to everyone um that that submitted a uh a letter in your interest and there was a lot of well most I would say all of them are well written and it comes um certainly some some Sarah some sincerity in all of them um so uh just just a quick thank you uh speaking
023through the same length that um Mrs Amaral uh took uh my my thought um you know and obviously we're just discussing this right now is um you know I agree with the soup with the um on the superintendent search committee having someone with uh those types of student needs a parent um my thoughts and uh after reviewing the letter and uh the knowledge that I have I'd like to see uh Ms Sonja Co on the committee as someone who has um students with with needs as well as someone who to three students in the Dartmouth public schools and certainly an advocate for her students and would bring bring the same type of lens uh to the search committee I believe but certainly you know that's just just my opinion and my thoughts I agree with
024that excuse me yeah uh okay talk about being all over the place which is fine which makes it interesting because I'm looking at uh I I was looking at uh Julie Rosewell who has uh two students in the system uh and uh is a teacher uh and uh the other one I was tossed I was tossed between uh Monique or uh or a lady by the name of of uh Darcy Moran a couple of students in this in the system also so those were the uh those were the kind of the three that I was bouncing around so that's my two cents um so um all right Chris uh so for the for Ms Rose Wells um I did see the uh the email but we were I was never forwarded the actual attached letter
025I didn't think she had a letter it just says attached was a letter for consideration to be a parent rep on the Dartmouth a superintendent hiring committee I don't well um I didn't of course I can't answer that uh only because of the fact that I didn't quote unquote print anything out I just literally I you know looked at him wrote the names down some general information and uh actually dropped them into a folder no worries so I I can't I can't answer that for you Kathleen also um I just wanted uh to bring up the fact that um we're deliberating on names we were given and one of them does not fit the parent rule but could fit the alumni Community role um Christian silveria I'm gonna mess this name up um who has
026been quite engaged in this you know Civic process and um uh submitted his letter of interest and not for the parent but just for us to deliberate on I would I would I would like to see him as part of this committee um as a community member which we don't have um yeah and we've selected it already yeah we've already gone that that's what unfortunately we've gone that way so we're just trying to concentrate in on parents at this point in time so yeah I I certainly you know I know that was kind of I think we actually well we replaced uh the alumni Community member with some with another role I believe yeah we went just because my thought is well on that I I certainly I I enjoyed reading his email uh Mrs
027Amaral as well yeah you know my thoughts on that were also you know alumni and Community member um and also check off the box and retired um Dartmouth School employee would have been Heidi Silva Brooks great I mean we because we we took out the you know the uh retired administrator because that's the one we were looking at like you know somebody in maintenance custodian a secretary Food Service Etc yeah that type of deal with that one so yeah Mary's got her hand up John yeah and so I just wanted to revisit you know um just you're going piggybacking because again I think Darcy and miss miss Morin and awesome Miss Coe you know they both bring just as you know as we're thinking uh misco is a registered nurse and you know Darcy as
028well so is a uh I believe she's a nurse practitioner so again they do bring the you know the kind of the medical Viewpoint as well as being parents so you know again just to kind of uh you know piece that and I know that you know misco of course is as Chris was mentioning was very active you know around allergy issues as well so and and again various needs um so and she certainly was you know strong proponent for you know over the summer for you know taking a second look at our uh our plans or you know an allergy awareness so I think that that's uh and again you know just just kind of you know thinking about our candidates a little bit more but it does seem that at least like three
029of us had Monique on our list so I you know maybe we can we kind of put her at least you know in one category or like I don't know it's hard to choose but I'm just you know I'm thinking it seems like at least three of us were thinking of unique yeah I think Mr news just said shout it out uh I can't believe oh okay I and I just wanna I don't mean to be repetitive but you know I I my understanding was I was asked to reach out for to this to the CPAC community and I just want to say Christine Matthias who we've selected for the other committee and Kyle Ross were the two that had the time committed and wrote the letters so I I just um I just think
030it's important that we consider that in our selection process them yeah all right so let's let's do this if we've got we can all right so if everyone is is comfortable I mean there's three of us uh if there's three of us that are uh uh and or four like who knows uh comfortable with uh Monique Alexander why don't we put you know somebody makes a motion we'll put that one okay I'll make a motion to appoint uh Monique Alexander to the superintendent search committee I'll second that okay okay so we got married go ahead something um just for a process and maybe this isn't going to be determined until the committee forms and talks about this but my experience last time was that um we have the committee we uh formulated our our you
031know our process within that and we rated and deliberated and came up with finalists and at that point the finalist and I'm my question is is this going to happen or is it something the committee decides the finalists were then um sort of in a public setting interviewed for the community to sort of hear from them and also have the opportunity to at least weigh in with us or share their opinion and so that we could consider that I just mentioned that assuming that's going to be the process because we have so many because not everybody can be serving on this committee there will conceivably at least be an opportunity for the public to weigh in in some form before the final choice is selected when this is all said and done is that correct
032or is that your thought Okay so see if you can go back to uh what I meant I mentioned back in uh the end of October beginning in November when we read Dr Gifford's when I read Dr Gifford's letter and she officially was retiring type of deal and I made the comment that this is our decision and our decision only type of deal we will you know it's the search committee is going to go through and screen and bring us three maybe four good candidate again if as I've said before when we hired Dr Russell the committee you know couldn't agree on three we agreed on four so that's how we ended up with four with Dr Russell uh we are going to get bombarded okay everybody's going to be calling us and saying I
033like Johnny Jones Susie Smith Timmy Jones whomever type of deal thank you very much yes they can weigh in with us but that decision is going to lie with us and only us okay I will you know depending how this flows down that's going to be that night there is going to be no public comment on the superintendent search save for the committee okay they can reach out to us and share that they can reach out there they can reach out to us you know I mean look this is my eighth superintendent so I've gotten you know I've had a number of phone calls from people you know things of that nature thank you very much I appreciate you know and sometimes it gives you something to think about and and such we all have
034I guess we all have to do our own due diligence okay I mean I think I've been around and I've picked up the phone and called colleagues in different communities and said hey you know Johnny Jones is applying what can you tell me about him or her that type of deal and then just go from there and just so that I have because again everybody puts their best foot forward when they're applying you know the letters of recommendation and things of that nature so the answer the the short answer to your question is yes we will probably hear from everybody but the decision is ours and only ours type of deal okay does that help does that answer your question no absolutely I and that's exactly I just sort of wanted the those that are
035listening to know that even if you didn't write a letter even if you missed the deadline or you didn't even hear about this because you're just so stuck in the mud in your own lives you know there will be an opportunity for you to say hey I know I've known that person or I know this or I hope you think this way and so we can just we take that all in and then we do our due diligence and we each make our own individual um yeah and then you know as I've always said you know being through this a number of times you're rolling and I don't mean it sarcastically you roll the dice and you know you trusted the search committee is going to bring the right candidates to to the school committee
036for uh for quote for appointment Mr Dunes Mr Oliver thank you uh just really quick I just wanted to touch upon something you you had said just for um the viewing the viewing audience for anyone who might be watching this this evening and watching the recording that up until the finalists are announced publicly this is a completely 100 confidential search while it's at the search committee in executive session there is there is there is you're absolutely correct no one I mean with all because in all seriously stress and again the last you and Dr Jenkins quote and unquote which is fine have a little bit of a heads up because you know who the finalists are going to be when this as I you know as I said to Mr Kylie the last time you
037know put the three finalists you know put all the information in a manila envelope and he you know they handed out the night of uh a school committee meeting when we officially announced who the three finalists are or four finalists however many that committee comes but everything you know as they say is with the uh the shot is closed that's right and I just I just bring that up just because just so where everyone's on the same page that we're not making no one's making phone calls until they're announced publicly um and that you know and then the process begins as far as at the school committee the full school committee level the full school the only thing the only time the full school committee is going to know who the finalists are is when
038we open those uh manila envelopes at that school committee meeting that's right thank you we won't know we don't even know who applies right so go from there I got your Gatling is uh not to go back to the other com the other search committee but is that does that um go true the sped will be the same way okay thank you both both committees are the same way all right so we have them back to five minutes ago which is fine uh we have a motion uh and a second for uh Monique Alexander uh all in favor roll call vote please miss Gunther John noons yes Mary Waite yes Kathleen Amaral yes Chris Oliver yes okay Kathleen um you talked about Kyle and I can I see where you're going okay and and I
039appreciate that and I for one would not have a problem with that so you know I um like like I said I just I don't want to occupy but I I feel that um I I feel confident that this is a family who has come to the table and collaborated and partnered with the school I'm not gonna I'm not gonna share their situation but uh but I just I feel it would be a good choice and and um in in a very um you know having a father and on the on the committee as well and just just I don't know to me it checked a few boxes I just I just want to make sure that we have that perspective on the committee I'm fine with that too I certainly respect your opinion I'll
040make a motion that we appoint Kyle Ross Mr Kyle Ross to the superintendent storage committee I'll second that okay so we have a motion uh and a second for uh who made the motion I'm sorry Chris Chris okay thank you very second uh any other discussion uh roll call please yes Mary wait yes Kathleen Amaral yes Chris Oliver yes that takes care of those two thank you very much and again seriously thank you to yes thank you seriously every to everyone who applied I mean I think you know you've listened to uh what we've done and what we've gone through to make sure so it's appreciated all right last uh and certainly but not least uh looking for chair or co-chair for uh the superintendent's superintendent search my two cents I'm looking at uh Mr
041Rossi and Mr granfield but you know if they can between the two of them you know split up what has to go on that's my two cents I would I would add um you know I my my thought in in the same vein as the last committee is that someone from the school committee so we have Shannon we have Chris I would like to see in a in a chair role someone who has the the experience and also um uh the the perspective being on the committee and just being very um organized and thoughtful I would I would propose we had Chris Oliver co-chair on that committee with with someone there are other folks that who are I gotta look I'm going to open up my folder we also have Miss paveo we had Mr
042um granfield Mr Mr Shea Mr Shea Eric Bosworth that's a teacher uh Sandry Sandra chica I believe the tech specialist Mr Higgins uh Mary Lynch uh Trudy Santos a TA at Quinn I would I would um I mean we we can discuss this but I would like to see uh Mr Oliver and Miss paveo as co-chairs to this committee personally if he was yeah I would like to I would go along with that I think that would be um you know again and I'll just say that because you know we have the advantage of you know now that Miss paveos and central office but she's you know recently been you know obviously his principal of elementary school but she has a lens so that you know now the district-wide lens plus they'll I think it's
043uh I think it's a you know good choice is you know if she's willing to take that on and uh you know Chris I think you'd be fantastic so I certainly and again in all these books would but you know I I certainly think that that's a that's a good leadership pair so foreign thank you Mr chair um thank you I I certainly appreciate uh the thoughts I'd be happy I'd certainly be happy to to serve in that capacity um and I think both uh Mr Rossi as well as um Mr granfield would certainly be good good be good choices as well but but I do agree with my colleagues that I think uh Mrs Prevail at the district level um might be might be a good fit um to coach here the committee okay
044so um unless John did you have anything I can make a motion but um no because I mean I I mean no disrespect that I'm one I'm one vote that type of deal like I gave you my you know two cents on on the matter and I again I don't have a problem with Chris and Kathy you know the veil type of deal so okay all right so I'll make a motion that we appoint um Chris Oliver and miss Catherine paveo um as the co-chairs for the superintendent search committee I'll second that all right so we have a motion uh find this way to uh appoint a second by Miss Ms Amaral for uh to appoint Chris Oliver and uh Kathy Kathleen faveo as uh co-chairs on the motion any other discussion yeah all right
045roll call vote please miss Gunther John noons yes Mary Waite yes Kathleen Amaral yes Chris Oliver yes okay thank you I will certainly uh do my due diligence there we go good well thank you to both uh to you Chris and to you Kathleen for taking on a co-chair and you know in this meeting so thank you thank you and it seems like just yesterday uh we were down in Dr Gifford's former District um speaking to her yeah Mr Kiley yes sir you had something you wanted to I did I I had um some contact with Mr hardy so he he's been under the weather um but he will be attending the February 13th school committee meeting so and he will be getting the survey results to us tomorrow so we'll share that with you
046right away and if you have any questions on the survey results if um you know you can either uh ask him on the 13th or we can touch base with him prior to that meeting he is hoping to conduct the initial training for the superintendent screening committee so Mr Oliver and uh Mrs paveo um as chairs you'll be getting our our list our email list of contacts for that committee and you um Can can include uh I'll include Mr hardy with that list and um he's hoping for Monday at six or seven PM for the initial training so that'll be open meeting law conflict of interest confidentiality sort of screening committee setup me and this upcoming Monday that's right Monday the 6th that's six or seven he has um limited availability next week he's conducting
047interviews in another district for superintendent uh but he did have Monday so his Hope was that we could uh make that work and he indicated it could be a combination of in person or Zoom or um something of that nature so I'll certainly let the chairs work that out with Mr hardy uh just to conf uh Mr chair uh just to confirm Mr Kiley do you these uh search committee meetings even this one need to be posted I don't believe so I mean it's not a public meeting so right we would essentially immediately were immediately an executive session yeah that's that was my thinking about that and that they're going to meet at uh they're going to meet at Bush Street Mr Kylie I think that would be the intent but I'll I'll leave that
048up to uh Mr Oliver and Mrs paveo to schedule with Jim Hardy um like I said he indicated that he would be available to be here um but it could you know we have plenty of room for you folks so we can we could do it at Bush Street we could do it somewhere else whatever uh whatever works for for everybody and obviously um you know he did offer the remote option too if if that was necessary for some of the members yeah okay okay Jim yells at that's it okay we're good yes thank you very good thank you John thank you everyone you're welcome I have one more thing yeah um I had reached just so everyone's aware I just wanted I had reached out to uh Mr noon's following uh the last meeting
049regarding um the uh administrators that had put in a a email or a letter of interest and um I had um after the meeting I went back and I went through and the uh the the email that the administrators received did not have a a date on it as far as a closing date and um I just want to go on the record of saying that uh Mr Rick Porter uh the principal Potter Elementary School uh I know it was said that he was um he had missed the deadline but uh there was no deadline I know it was spoken about at the school committee meeting um however in the email itself the administrators wouldn't have known that um so I didn't want anyone thinking that a uh Mr Porter long time uh uh princess
050able in educator missed a deadline yes you're absolutely right Chris and I did uh I stopped in and I had every intention and I stopped in on Wednesday to uh to see Mr Porter and I did you know convey my apologies and yeah it was not you know it was an oversight on his part it's you know just the way it unfortunately it happened so yeah you know I mean it's and he's fine but he you know when I told him that yes we you know we were going to talk about I didn't you know again you brought it up tonight and that's fine I added in the back of my mind for uh you know the 13th but that was fine too so no problem we're good well thank you thank you all right
