We are truly honored to introduce our robotics team, the Bulldog Bots, and our coaches, Miss Mr. Bruce Jaffy and Mr. Jennifer Cavalieri.
013tonight. Their commitment, creativity, and hard work led to their advancement to the state championships this past December. [clears throat] Throughout the season, these students demonstrated not only technical skill and problem solving ability, but also perseverance, collaboration, and a genuine passion for learning. This evening, you'll hear directly from our students as they reflect on their journey, share challenges they overcame, and describe the experiences that made this season both meaningful and memorable. It was it's with great pride and enthusiasm that we represent members of our robotics team, the Bulldog Bots. >> Hi, good evening. My name is uh Bruce Jeffy. I'm a science teacher at the English school uh along with Miss Cala. We coach the Maline English LL first Lego League robotics team. Uh we began in uh September after school uh robotics where students learn
014to code robots and uh learn the uh uh strategy behind the missions which I'll tell you about in a little while and also uh a little bit about archaeology which was the overarching theme of uh Lego robotics this year. Um we uh the Saturday before Thanksgiving we went to uh the River qualifying tournament in Rivier and uh we did unbelievably well. We were so proud of this team. Uh they qualified for the state championships at Worester Polytech which uh we're still glowing about. Uh these are uh wonderfully talented uh bright, motivated students and I think they want to tell you a little bit about their journey from our classroom to uh river to uh to the state championships and a little bit about uh first Lego League robotics. So Logan's going to start off. >>
015Hello everyone. Today we are going to talk about our experience being part of the first Lego League robotics team. Over the past few years, FLL wasn't just in an after school program. For us, it we were able it was a place we learned how to work as a team, solve problems, and challenge ourselves. When we first started, when we first started, many of us just had a dream and a little bit of curiosity for coding and robotics. At first, it was confu. It was frustrating and confusing. LL was something we looked forward to every day. >> Oh, you can do that, Mike. >> Being in the FFL uh club taught us many skills. Learning how to build and program, researching real world problems, and also managing our time. There were times when codes didn't work
016or our project didn't go well. But instead of giving up, we work together and solve our problems. Over the years, most of us are eighth graders and sixth graders. Um, we've been improving on our codes and our researching um and also working together. FFL is not only about co uh coding and building, but it's also about researching and learning about the world around us. And we have this year reached uh with experts uh in Harvard. she is a graduate and she works in Mongolia as an archaeologist and um Mr. grooves. Uh he was a retired civil engineer and now um he used to work as the as a person in like the big day. >> Adam, >> we wanted we wanted to do our best in this competition. As the as the day of the
017competition quickly approached, we were nervous, but we knew we could do a good job for the school and ourselves. We worked on our code right until the end. On that Friday afternoon, we knew we were ready when on that bus at the high school. The review qualifiers were a horrific experience. uh un uh unlike the state competition, it was smaller, but nonetheless, it was still an amazing competition. The uh there was a variety of teams even though it wasn't as big, but still it was a difficult and exciting competition. We of course uh had to practice a lot for it. The robot runs went well. The innovation also did. We I would say we did well and uh I would think I would think that the team agrees. >> When we made it to state,
018we found out when we found out we made it to state, we were very excited that we made it. All of our hard work got recognized. advancing to stay motivated us to work harder on our [snorts] codes weren't were not working all the time. So, we fixed it for our first meeting back after qualifying for the state championship. have um instead of working on whatever we whatever we thought, we just decided to discuss all of our issues and problems we had in the river qualifiers and use those to strategize a new plan that we will use in the state championship. Going to the state championship was a a incredible experience from the from the bus ride to the to the competition. It was an amazing experience, the co the coding, the testing. It was very
019fun, especially the start when we all thought we couldn't do it, but yet we prevailed and made it to the champion, the state championship. We learned we learned a lot of things from the state championship. We we learned how to manage our time carefully and this we used this a lot because we had to we were in charge of getting to our matches on time and we also only got a limited time at the practice tables. We also learned how that we had to adapt and stay positive when things didn't go as planned. This was very important because some of our codes didn't really work sometimes during our matches and even one of them got deleted and instead of just trying to figure do it again, we had to move on without hesitation or we'd
020end up losing points in the long run. Looking back at our experience over the years, we plan on trying to introduce and teach new pe people all about FFL and I know LL and trying to get them into it. We also plan on giving those that will be in the club from for years going forward new materials to use like a new robot design and a table to work on rather than the floor. [applause] Thank you very much everybody. There any questions? Mr. Baris, >> Madame Chair, thank you. I just want to thank all the students and and our educators. I was looking at that little robot or was like a little truck or a robot on the table and I was like, "Oh my god, how do you do that?" Uh, I can't even
021do a Lego these days. Uh, that is terrific. So, thank you for not only putting that together, but especially for getting to the championship, right? It's it's just amazing. Uh, so thank you and keep up the amazing work every single day. Appreciate it. >> [applause] >> Thank you very much and congratulations >> Miss Cardillo. >> Thank you madam chair through you to the robotics team. I have to commend you on your public speaking ability. Not one of you had a note in front of you. You spoke from the heart. You spoke from your brain. And I am so proud of you. And that is a gift because you will use that the rest of your life. And for you guys to get up here at this age, be on, you know, public television in front
022of all of us and the audience. I salute you all. Keep up the good work. And thank you to our instructors. [applause] >> Thank you, Miss Cardillo. Any further questions or comments for the robotics team? Seeing none, >> Madam Chair, excuse our customers with excuse our guests with a customary thanks. >> Second. >> Motion has been made and seconded to excuse our guests with the customary thanks. Roll call. >> Mr. Almeid Baros. >> Yes. >> Miss Babcock, >> yes. >> Miss Cardell, >> yes. >> Miss Cornelio, >> yes. >> Miss Cristiano, >> yes. >> Miss Garren, >> yes. >> Mr. Lmon Monica, >> yes. >> Mayor Vancampen, >> yes. >> Madame Chair, >> yes. >> So moved 90.

Uh, >> number two. on item number two. So, keep that out of order and bring that back uh to us before we proceed with the regular agenda. >> I'll resend my second motion. >> Resend my motion. >> Motion rescended and motion has been made and seconded to take Roman numeral 7 item number two presentation by the NAN project director Jake Kavanaaugh out of order. This is a item submitted by school committee member vice chair Baros. Roll call. >> Mr. Alina Baros. >> Yes. >> Miss Babcock. >> Yes. >> Miss Cardelloo. >> Yes. >> Miss Cornelio.

Oh, >> make a motion to invite our guest. And on the motion, if I if I may. >> Yes, m >> I brought this uh item to the agenda as this committee and members of the public and everyone has one of the main well there are so many priorities that we have in our schools, but mental health and the well-being of our students uh it's usually on top of know of the list of our priorities. And the nun project it is an organization that works with us in the public schools doing exactly that. Uh they do so much work
025uh with our schools. In fact, the superintendent brought to each member. You have that on uh before you a list of activities that the non project has done for our schools uh all the way back from 2024 uh to now in some of our middle schools also here at Everett High. And uh it's my my honor uh I've had the chance to go there and meet with them. Um it's my honor to bring them before you uh so they can talk about this work that they do. The members are are invited to ask questions but most importantly for members of the community uh to know uh how important this is this topic of mental health is uh for the average public schools for our students and the amazing work that this organization uh is doing
026and has done for a few years already uh in our schools and even beyond. So that's that's on the motion. Uh, Madame Chair, >> thank you, Mr. Barrow. Um, real quick, the motion has been made and seconded to invite um the NAN project team before us. Roll call. >> Mr. Alita Baros, >> yes. >> Miss Babcock, >> yes. >> Miss Cardelloo, >> yes. >> Miss Cornellio, >> yes. >> Miss Cristiano, >> yes. >> Miss Garren, >> yes. >> Mr. Lmon Monica, >> yes. >> Mayor Vancampen, >> yes. >> Madam Chair, >> yes. >> So move 90. Motion passed. Welcome everyone. Thank you for having us. Um really appreciate being here. Um thank you for having us, mayor, superintendent, committee members, um vice chair Baros. Uh it is a a pleasure to be here, especially in
027this room. Um this room 10 years ago is where the NAM project actually first did its peer mentor and mental health programming at Everett High School. Um so we have a long history. The history on your paper in front of you goes back two years. We have over 10 years that we've been working here in Everett. Um, as uh the vice chair said, we do mental health education and suicide prevention programming. I'd like to spend two minutes talking about where we came from, why I started this program, a couple minutes about what we're doing here in Everett and then open it up to any questions that you have. Before I do that, I'd like to let my folks introduce themselves. >> Good evening. I'm Donna Casik. I'm the clinical director for the NAM project. Thank
028you for having us tonight. Hello, I'm Lauren. I'm a peer mentor for the NAN project. >> Hi, I'm Mars. I'm a peer mentor with the NAN project as well. Thank you guys. So, as I said, we're about 10 years old. Um, it's a program that I started with my mother in 2016 after having lost my little sister Nan to suicide back in 2012. Um, Nan had struggled from a very young age with a couple different mental health challenges. Starting in maybe middle school or even earlier, it was obsessivecompulsive disorder, but as she got older, it turned into depression and anxiety as well. But in an environment where we didn't have a lot of education around mental health, she went undiagnosed for many years. And even after receiving her diagnosis her freshman year of high school,
029um I don't think she really understood what it meant to have a mental health challenge. And I don't think a lot of people around her really understood how to support her when she was struggling. And a lot of that goes to the stigma that way back then was very very prevalent, but even today is still prevalent around mental health. Um and that's why we started the NAM project. We wanted to do something that could open up the conversation, normalize those conversations around mental health, make everyone, especially young people, comfortable talking about mental health, asking for help if they're struggling, and knowing where to go. But just as importantly, making sure the adults that support them, have the tools, have the resources to reach out, ask a a 12th grader or a fifth grader, you know,
030are you going through something? Is are you dealing with a mental health challenge? and then having them equipped with the tools to know how to support that person. And so that's what the NAM project does. And what our model is and what we we piloted here at Everett High School back in 2016 was a peer-to-peer model. So we train incredible young adults as I have next to me right here. Um who are just outside of high school kind of 18 to 25 years old transition age youth and they go through training with us. They're paid by us to talk about their lived experience. So what that means is they talk about some of the challenges they faced with things like depression or anxiety, but the focus is really on the recovery. What helped them during
031those difficult times? How were they able to get the resources and support that they needed when they were struggling? And they go into classrooms and share these stories. They talk about what it was like for them when they were in sixth grade or 10th grade and maybe struggling with depression or anxiety, but had no idea what to call it. They didn't have the language to talk about it, but what was it like for them as they were going through those periods of their life? And then who helped? What was it like to talk to a counselor or a coach or maybe a parent for the first time about their mental health? And what was that process like getting the supports that they needed? And the idea is that by having these young adults share their
032stories in front of students and be quite frankly very very vulnerable, it creates a safe space for the students to then ask questions, talk about mental health, take in information in a very different way than you know an adult going in and saying this is depression, this is what you need to do. So that's the core of the NAM project. We also do a lot of suicide prevention training, mental health education for adults that support young people. But that's really the core of what we do is our peer mentors and our peer mentor presentation. Um the last couple years we've been doing a lot of work at the Whittier, the Cavarian here at the high school. Um but we would certainly love to be doing more at all the different schools, the English, the Parland.
033Um so my my ask of you tonight is you know any ideas you have about how we can bring our presentations, our programming to more young people in Everett. Um we are all ears. We do have some ARPA funding from the city of Everett to expand our programming. So any ideas that you all have around how we can bring this to more young people um we'd love to love to hear. So that's what I have for for this evening. If there's any questions that you have, I will uh >> Thank you very much. Uh Miss Cardillo. >> Thank you, Madam Chia. Through you to our guests, I have a question before I have any suggestions. My question is at any point are the parents notified if you find a serious issue or authorities notified if
034there's a serious issue at home that the children can't talk about at home. >> So when we're doing our our presentations, we often have a counselor in the room with us and we will notify that counselor that hey um this young person asked a question that we find concerning. Can you do some followup with them? Um after that it's the school's protocol that we have to follow. We we can't kind of set our own rules, our own um uh Yeah, we can't set our own rules when we're in a school. >> When you say a counselor, is that a counselor that you work with or somebody from the schools? >> It's it's from the schools. >> From the schools. So Okay. >> So we have a we have a team of people in the classroom,
035but we are we're guests in a classroom when we go there. >> Okay. In doing this, before your presentation, are the parents notified of the program and what you're going to be speaking on? Is there some type of a an agenda that you could share with parents so that they know? >> We we would happily share that with anyone who's bringing us into a school if that would be helpful. >> It might be a good idea because sometimes when parents find out things after the fact, >> Sure. they're more apt to be concerned or upset about who's teaching my children. They're not teachers in our district. Why are they tell talking to my kids? So, I think, >> you know, totally being open about it and letting people know might be the way to start
036this off instead of just doing it with the children and having the kids go home and start, you know, that type of thing. No, we we want everyone as part of this conversation um to help with that. When for high school had a parent university back in the late fall, we took part in that and we were presenting there and talking about this is what we're bringing into the schools. >> Okay. As long as everyone's aware of it, I think it's a more comfortable environment >> when everybody knows about it >> beforehand rather than finding out after the fact. because I know it's happened in different areas of life. It happens even in a work situation and people find out and they're not always up for the surprise. So, >> we want to bring this
037conversation to as many people as we can. So, certainly any idea >> this is so important. What you're doing is so vitally important. It really is. And there's a lot of times when a child would rather talk to somebody not related than to somebody related. But going back to the parents or guardians in any way, they need to be notified. >> Absolutely. >> Or the police need to be notified to get if it gets a level, you know, and then be taken care of from there. Absolutely. But that's why I think telling people upfront, even if it's a matter of permission to allow their children to go in into that group, then people know and they've already said, "Yeah, it's fine." So whatever you're talking about should be acceptable. Thank you for listening. Thank you,
038Miss Cardillo. Miss Garin. >> Uh, [clears throat] thank you, Madam Chair. Uh, first of all, what a beautiful organization you have to come out of, uh, such a tragedy. I'm so terribly sorry. Um, I, uh, I'm just I'm looking at the list of programs and initiatives. Um, you seem to be targeting middle and high school kids, and that that makes sense. That's when a lot of mental health issues come up. I didn't know if you thought of doing any programming for the elementary school kids, you know, obviously to get get started on their, you know, teaching them early on how to talk about their feelings and what it is they're feeling. Um, and that sort of gives them a good basis. >> Absolutely. So, um, we started out in high schools the first couple years.
039almost all of our programming was high schools, but we heard from superintendent that, you know, this is good. We appreciate this, but we're seeing this stuff in sixth graders and seventh graders and eighth graders. And so, we developed similar presentations, slightly different language um for that younger audience, but I couldn't agree more that bringing it to even younger students is important. Sure, we're probably not going to be talking about suicide with fourth and third and second graders, but there's ways of talking about emotions and how do you healthfully express those? Yeah. >> Right. And are you >> I guess I don't have any big ideas at the moment. I will I will keep you in mind. Are are you looking for more funding, >> grants, that sort of thing? We we don't ask um schools
040for funding and we do have some ARPA funding specific to Everett that we are trying to use to expand to absolutely every single school we can get into. So um yeah, thank you for bringing that up. It is something that every school asks is how much does this cost? We sure try not that was our entry point is we don't charge. So >> Right. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you Miss Karen. Miss Cornelio. So, I was thinking about um May is mental health month. >> Yes. >> So, maybe that you could have like a program at the school's mental health month. Maybe even >> not only for the students, one for the students, then maybe for the parents to to, you know, introduce this new program and what it's about so they they're clear on
041it. So, that might be an idea. >> We we getting in front of parents is our most difficult task. um getting parents to come out to a gymnasium at, you know, 6:00 on a Wednesday night is tough, but we would absolutely love to be doing something like that. >> I will say we do have a mental health summit that we host every year. >> And last year of the 230 students that we had, 50 came from Everett High School. >> Well, that's by far the largest representation. So, it was it was very impressive. >> Yeah, it's great work and um I'm so happy that you uh are doing it. Thank you for that. >> It's our pleasure and ever's been a wonderful partner. >> Thank you, Miss Cornelio. Miss Babcock, >> um for you to
042our guests, um if I am correct because I've seen this project a few times, you're in quite a few public schools that you're giving um presentations. I think that um especially for middle school and high school uh students being more aware of how they're feeling and their emotions, especially in a turbulent world. Um and also for high school students transitioning off to college. Oh yeah. >> Is is a big shock. I was recently at a basketball game and they were talking about um you know mental health issues for athletes who are completely focused on their sport and not focused on the pressure that it is putting them under. And um there was a foundation put together for a a college athlete who had um unalive themselves and um it was really compelling as well. Um
043a lot of people don't know how to address their feelings. I know that I grew up in a generation where my mother was like, I don't need a therapist because I can just talk to my family. That's good enough. Or, you know, just be stronger and you you're fine. Um, and strength isn't doesn't it just doesn't work that way. So, the more education that that that kids receive, the more information they need. From what I'm looking here, most of these are assemblies and presentations showing what's out there. So if students are interested in participating in like uh um my colleague was talking about in one of the sort of deeper counseling or peer mentoring, do they need to have permission from their parents to join these peer uh I mean I know that for kids
044who are over 14, they don't even have to share their medical history with their parents anymore. um you know that's that's part of like you don't have to you know as soon as you turn 14 you med medically you can unless it's a serious issue. So I'm just curious how do how do how how do students choose to to get involved besides hearing about the presentations and what you have to offer? >> Um are you familiar with the wave club here at um um so we've been working with them since the beginning of this year doing a healthy minds equal healthy relationships workshop series. Um so that is a multi-part um curriculum that we've been rolling out with them. Um we've also done peer mentor trainings. Now our peer mentors are all just outside of
045high school, but we do have a number of former um attendees of Everett High School that have graduated from our peer mentor training. So um those are two ways that beyond our peer mentor presentations that we involve students, but we also do social emotional learning circles. We've worked with the rec center across the street to run some of those. Um, so there are some some other options. And if a student is interested in kind of working with us in bringing more mental health programming, doing like a a project like a PSA, we'd be more than happy to to work with them on such such specific programming. >> I think that my daughter went to a nan event. >> Okay. >> Uh with the Elliot Resource Center last year. >> Yep. And she was like, you
046know, I really never thought I always think that I'm pretty tough. And I'm like, it was good. It was good to be retrospective. >> Awesome. >> So, >> I love to hear that. FRC has been wonderful partners. >> Yes. I remember cuz she has this like white bracelet with pink letters on it. >> Yes. Probably older version, one of these. >> Yeah. And and and she remembered speaking out and saying it was a really empowering event and it was all women that was there. So, um, >> thank you for that feedback. No, thank you for supporting our young women and our young people. >> Thank you, Miss Babcock. Mr. Baris, >> I just want to thank again you for the work that you do. It's extremely important for our students uh and our parents as
047well. So, in addition to the Ever Public Schools, community organizations out there listening uh to us at this moment know we have a few community organizations ever that serve youth as well. those who attend Everett public schools, those uh who perhaps attend do not attend Everett public schools. Uh as the non project has no funding availability now, please reach out to them. Uh perhaps you can provide this. Uh I don't want to put our new mayor in spot, but this is also might be a new opportunity for our youth uh for youth uh summer uh activities uh down at the rec center or even uh uh beyond that. Sorry, Mr. mayor but I'm already throwing things at uh you need suggestions right as as a new mayor but it is uh also I mean as
048much as we can to bring this conversation this train this dialogue to help our our youngesters out there uh it will help it will help them uh and on a side note uh they are so great at what they do that next week they'll be at the state house uh they will be joined Governor Hilly for uh statewide youth summit. Uh there are right now over 200 kids from across the state to register and they will be presenting a uh workshop on mental health for those students or the youth who will be joining from all over the state. So thank you again. >> Well, thank you for the introductions. We really appreciate it. And if any of you would ever like to come to a presentation here in Everett or a neighboring town, we we'd
049more than love to have you there. So, >> thank you very much, Miss Babcock. One other thing, I know that um that the youth organization that my daughter works with in the summertime for the counselors that work there, they do uh every week they do professional development and they do things like finances and mental health is a great topic for for that that uh that's um Pierce Park Sailing. It's a wonderful youth organization. It actually employs uh over 120 um counselors. Um, but I know we have a youth development program here too. And I know that one of the things that they do is that they have a uh also have professional development that might be a useful one and they have the option to join it or not join it. You know, they they
050have the option. It's not a mandatory. Um, but a lot of times it's a great audience and you know that audience you've got a lot of students that are transitioning off to college that are you know just starting high school and you know having an environment where it's you and your peers. >> Y >> and to have a conversation is is very helpful sometimes >> learning how to self- advocate. Yeah. >> Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Um so you know youth development organizations are a great spot for that. We have one in Everett. I know this is in East Boston. I know that's outside of our purview and, you know, outside of the ARPA funds here, but those presentations, that's a good location to catch on to America's Youth or at least the Greater Boston League. Thank
051you so much. Really, >> thank you, Miss Babcock. Mr. Mayor, >> thank you, Madam Chair. Um, so I did also just want to commend you on the on the incredible work that you do and have been doing. And I also um you know just to sort of to stress the importance not just of the NAN project but the work you do integrating as member Babcock said with our sort of our youth development component here at the city of Everett the ever public schools. So, our youth development department, it's, you know, it's going to go through, without making any public announcements, but it's going to go through a pretty large transformation over the next several weeks. And I think it would be helpful for you folks to meet with me and my team to see how
052we can maybe integrate more effectively the services you provide with my goal of enhancing the services that we provide through the youth development and enrichment department. So I' I'd like to form that partnership. And then the second thing I will mention to you, you you had mentioned ARPA funding uh and Mr. Barrett in the back knows this as well. So the guidance that I have received from our congressional delegation is if we have ARPA funds allocated but unexpended, we better spend them fast. So we probably should have a conversation about how best with Superintendent Hart, how best we can use those ARPA funds to let you grow the program here in Everett. So, I just wanted to stress that as well. But thank you again for all the work you're doing. >> I appreciate and
053we'll follow up with you. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Miss Cristiano, >> thank you, Madam Chairman, and and to you folks, I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do here in Everett. Um, as we all know, mental health uh uh in the is in a crisis across this country at a national level and it's it streams all the way down and it's it's it's more of a crisis for our young people because uh the services that are provided uh can often be lacking. Um, but it'd be remiss if we didn't uh, you know, discuss all of the great work we're also doing in the Ever Public Schools. As you remember, uh, last year we hired a, uh, 21 uh, LICSSWS that provide direct mental health services to our young
054people. They don't have to go uh to uh to an office outside the school. They don't have to travel. They're right in the schools. Their their aim is to help every student that needs it. And uh they have been providing a wonderful uh service to our students. And so again, I'm just grateful for all of the services that we're able to provide. And now I hear about this program and I think it's wonderful as well. But again, uh those 21 LICSSWs that we recently retained last year are uh they're doing God's work. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Cristiano. There any further questions or comments? >> Superintendent, >> let me just echo what um what uh Mr. Cristiano just said. Beyond the uh social workers, as you know, this is school counselor week and we
055celebrate the fact that we do have counselors on board in all of our schools at all of our grade levels. We have a counseling session built into their academic program. >> But, you know, we do uh in partnership with Nan and since I took over as superintendent, I focused on the mental health of our students because in order to succeed in their school work, they had to be mentally ready and prepared to do that work. And so the social workers that Miss um Cristiano mentioned, the Bright program, which was a model that we have in several of our schools that support our kids who were in crisis, who return to the schools after being um either hospitalized. We have a referral services also for our kids that are in crisis if needed. Um we have
056nursing staff, not necessarily clinical nurses that do psych valves, but we have our own staffs that are across all the schools that are prepared to help identify and work with our kids. So we do really have a pretty comprehensive approach. Could more be done possibly, but I don't want anyone to leave thinking that just the list of things that we initiated with the NAN project are the only things happening in our schools for our kids. Uh they are uh my concern every day that those kids come to school ready and ready means social and emotionally ready to learn. And so, um, just that I just wanted to, uh, first thank our counselors, thank the NAN project, thank the Bright Program, thank our clinicians, thank the people who every day help identify and work with our
057young people at every grade level. Um, sometimes with parents, sometimes without the parents, also the referral services that we engage with, uh, the Cambridge Health Alliance, uh, the FRC, and so many other partners that, um, I could go on and on about. our kids are are valuable resources and and I want you all to know that um I take that part of this role very seriously. So, thank you to the NAN project. Thank you to all of the members who support the work that we do. Thank you to the staff who each and every day and especially as acknowledged this week uh do as Miss Cristiano said some of uh some really important work sometimes quietly. Um and thank you to everyone and I appreciate uh Mr. Kavanaaugh coming forward and to to to briefly
058mention some of the work that um he has engaged with us and will continue to engage with us as the year and years ahead. So, thank you. >> Appreciate your support, Superintendent, as well as that of Dr. Wallace. They've both been huge proponents of the NAM project. >> Thank you, Superintendent. If I may, from the chair, just thank you for all that you do within the um district, and I hope as representatives we can do our part to help you connect with more students and families. Are there any further questions or comments? >> Excuse our guest for customary thank you so very much. >> Motion made by Mr. Barrow, seconded by Miss Babcock to excuse our guests with the customary thanks. Roll call. >> Mr. Almeidos. >> Yes. >> Miss Babcock. >> Yes. >> Miss
059Cardelloo. >> Yes. >> Miss Cornellio. >> Yes. >> Miss Cristiano. >> Yes. >> Miss Garren? >> Yes. >> Mr. L Monica? >> Yes. >> Mayor Vancamp? >> Yes. >> Madam Chair? >> Yes. >> So move 90. Motion passed. Thank you very much. [clears throat] >> If we could entertain a motion to return to the regular order of business. >> So moved. Um >> second. >> So moved. Returning to the regular order of business. Roll call. >> Mr. Alita Barros. >> Yes. >> Miss Babcott? >> Yes. >> Miss Cardelloo? >> Yes. >> Miss Cornellio? >> Yes. >> Miss Cristiano? >> Yes. >> Miss Garren? >> Yes. >> Mr. Lam Monica? >> Yes. >> Mayor Vancampen? >> Yes. Madame Chair. >> Yes. >> So move 90. We have returned to the regular order of business. U Mr.
060Clerk. Next up, >> Madame Chair, we return to uh Roman numeral six, the report of the superintendent. >> Thank you, Superintendent. >> Madam Chair, members of the committee and our members uh and folks at home. Let me also um add to some of those initiatives that I just briefly mentioned when the NAN project was presented. We are starting a check-in and checkout service um starting at the Cavarian School which is very similar. We're checking in with young people through our faculty. So we have about 36 teachers who volunteer time to check in with students in the morning and check uh check out on the way out of school just to make sure everything is okay. It's it's really a way to help students build some confidence, have some connection at the school level, not just
061in the classroom, but with a teacher or a guidance counselor or some member of the staff that's checking in with them at the beginning of the day, making sure everything is okay. Again, these touch points um cannot be overstated. And here's just one of those other examples in which we are hoping to identify and support the social emotional needs of our kids. Um, also I wanted just to uh talk a little bit about um chapter 70 funding. Um, for those of you who were watching the news last week and after our last school committee meeting, uh, the governor announced uh the annual state budget which um is a little over $63 billion. And in that $63 billion uh there is chapter 70 funds in which you know is our primary um source of state funding
062for education. Each year uh we in Everett look to that number as a vital number to do and to continue the programming that we have for our students. Many of you already know as I've explained in the past that the funds that are part of the chapter 70 fund are based upon a an equation if you will and that equation looks at the kinds of students we have the number of students we have the kind of services that we provide to the students and each year we hope to get some increase to that number in order for us to continue the work. This year we we did receive a small increase in chapter 70 funds over last year and I think on the screen um in front of you you'll see chapter 78 aid uh
063in the chart that talks about what we uh received last year and that what we will um we will increase from last year to this year. I call your attention to this is because um while it is an increase, there are other things that are included in making up the number to run our budget. So, we will work with the city for example uh with required net school spending that the city's contribution to the work that we do and then we look for any other sources of of um revenue to support and enhance our budget. I will say that I had a general concern that the number was although good, it wasn't where I think it needs to be to continue to run the system the way that we're accustomed to running it. I'm working
064closely with Senator D. Dominico. I know that he has worked very closely with Governor um Healey who's been significant in her her care and support for communities like Everett um to make sure that we get the kind of funds we need to do the work we need to do and we're accustomed to doing. So I mentioned that because it is all unrolling. The governor's budget is step one. We have while this is going on internal budget hearings with all departments working with the city as I mentioned earlier to look at their contributions to our work and then ultimately our friends in the legislature will develop a budget um in the weeks and months ahead uh that will again really start to refine the amount of money that we'll have to operate. So again, just wanted
065to call that to your attention so that you know it is in process. Um and we will continue to keep everyone updated as the as the time allows over the next several meetings. In fact, the next meeting is in um February is the 24th. I want to call your attention to that because that is on a Tuesday evening. Um we not don't normally hold our meeting during a school vacation week, which is when we would normally meet again. So, we won't meet until Tuesday, February the 24th. And I just call your attention to that along with the public so that they know uh we'll be back. And maybe at that point, we'll have some additional information about budget numbers. I also wanted to uh talk about some Scholastic Art winners. Uh we had six Everett
066High School artists were uh honored um for the 2526 school year through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards program. Um, Everett continues to outshine so many in so many ways on the ball field, in the classroom, um, on m musicians, and certainly our our art programs are just top-notch. And I want to call out Mr. Demarzo and Miss Pierce who continue to lead our students into excellence. So, we had as I said uh six students uh honored uh recently and uh we will continue to put their artwork along with their awards on our website and under our news and announcements. So, um again, thank you uh to the faculty and to our students. Um let me just mention their names. David Bermudez, Kylen Molina Martinez, Anthony Whitlau, Luen Silva, Shahendra Hall, Lizzie Pado Castro, all
067received recognition during this awards ceremony. So, thank you to all of those artists, artists and residents, I'll call them. Um, last week we had the Tide Rises, our monthly recognition of students on vision of our graduate. Uh the ceremony was held uh right there at the library at Everett High School and uh as you may remember from previous year, we recognize students who are nominated by teachers who exhibit some one of those values that you see behind um the chairperson in the front of the uh library. And we um rec teachers recognized our students for innovation. And so we have um several students who were recognized and again family and friends often participate in that program and come up and see them uh receiving awards. Um marketing students we um again our students were invited
068to Gillette Stadium in Patriot Place last week uh to participate in a marketing challenge. Our students got to work in groups of five with senior uh leaders of marketing for the Patriots organization and our teams um [clears throat] tasked with a particular effort. Our teams were tasked with increasing ticket sales for Thursday night concerts. Um and our folks came up, our students came up with a lot of proposals. Um, we uh were also applauded by the marketing team at Gillette because our kids came dressed business ready. They had a professional presentation and they like Miss Cadillo just said, our young people speak beautifully in front of the public and um, no exception out there. They did a they did a great job. Um, we're so proud of of those students who uh again compete uh
069out out in the real world, so to speak, and and bring home a lot of accolades. So, um, Madam Chair, that's the the end of my report. >> Thank you, superintendent. Any comments or questions for the superintendent? Seeing none, can we accept his report and place on file? >> Accept the superintendent report and place on file. >> Second. Motion has been made and seconded to accept the superintendent's report and place on file. Roll call. >> Mr. Almeida Baros? >> Yes. >> Miss Babcock? >> Yes. >> Miss Cardelloo? >> Yes. >> Miss Cornelio? >> Yes. >> Miss Cristiano? >> Yes. >> Miss Garren? >> Yes. >> Mr. Lmon Monica? >> Yes. >> Mayor Vancampen? >> Yes. >> Madam Chair? >> Yes. >> So move 90. Motion pass. Uh superintendent. The next order of business. Item number
070three, approval of the Ever High School career and technical education admissions policy. Uh I'm requesting favorable action. As you may know, that was included in your packet. This policy um really is not a big change from what you have approved and reviewed in the past. the DESIE does now require us to hold a lottery or a number of seats uh that may be um up for in contention. So if we have more applicants than seats, we have to induct a lottery. We've already done that, but now we're just conforming to Desi rules by stating that there's a lottery. So um we're just asking you to accept this which includes quote the DESIE guidelines on lottery based admissions. Favorable action. >> Motion has been made for favorable action to approve the Everett High School career and
071technical education admissions policy. Uh Mr. Baros on the motion. >> On the motion, Madam Chair, I just want uh actually let my if you look at this all my committee members have it was done by our marketing um CT program. our students >> they did the design and they are giving out and they left here for us um to give to each one of you. So as we are proving their um policy just want to show firsthand what one of them one of the programs do. >> Thank you. CTE marketing um roll call on the motion. >> Mr. Alabaros. >> Yes. >> Miss Babcock. >> Yes. >> Miss Cardelloo. >> Yes. Yes. Miss Cornelio, >> yes. >> Miss Cristiano, >> yes. >> Miss Garren, >> yes. >> Mr. Lam Monica, >> yes. >> Mayor Vancampen,
072>> yes. >> Madame Chair, >> yes. >> So move 90. Motion passed. Uh, superintendent, the next order of business. >> Item number four is approval of the Ever Public Schools middle school pathway exploration policy. I'm asking you for favorable action on this policy. This pathway exploration policy is new. It's state required and it's tied specifically to career and technical education under chapter 74. This uh the purpose of this policy is really to ensure transparency and equity by guaranteeing that all middle school students and their families have consistent access to information tools and planning related to CTE program before entering high school. So they do have access now. This is just a policy that codifies what we in Everett have been doing uh without policy quite frankly. So I'm just asking you to adopt the uh
073exploration policy so that it's codified. >> Favorable action. >> Second. >> Made and seconded for favorable action. But on the motion, Miss Babcock, >> uh yes. Um h how will I without a just a quick a brief briefly for the public? How will um students be or their families be informed of the policy and the tours? >> Uh usually through the guidance office through CTE programming uh they do exploratory as you know and we've also started to uh have our eighth grade students have access to Everett High School before they enter Everett High School to take tours. So, we have a multitude of ways in which we expose our students to this. >> Perfect. Cuz I think the parents would want to know and it's good for them to think about it before they're signing
074up for their classes when they come to high school to to have an idea of where they might want to go in what direction. >> Um, thank you very much, Superintendent. >> Thank you, Miss Babcock. Motion was made and seconded to approve the Ever Public Schools EPS middle school pathway exploration policy. Roll call. Mr. Almeita Barrows, >> yes. >> Miss Babcock, >> yes. >> Miss Cardelloo, >> yes. >> Miss Cornelio, >> yes. >> Miss Cristiano, >> yes. >> Miss Garren, >> yes. >> Mr. Lam Monica, >> yes. >> Mayor Vancampen, >> yes. >> Madam Chair, >> yes. >> So move 90. >> 90. Motion pass. Superintendent, the next order of business. >> Number um number five, acceptance of an interpreter and education training grant in the amount of $8,500. I'm requesting a favorable acceptance of
075this grant. This um will train five bilingual employees or interpreters in um special education through a desi approved interpreter training program. Um this obviously gives us an opportunity to work with our parents um across multiple languages so that um our parents know exact information um from our staff about um IEP meetings uh the content of those meetings. And so this makes sure that everybody's on an even playing field by training interpreters. So it ask for your acceptance of this grant. >> Move to favorable action. >> Second. >> Motion has been made by Miss Pepcock, seconded by Miss Cornellio for favorable action in the acceptance of the interpreter in education training grant in the amount of $8,500. Roll call. >> Mr. Alita Barrows. >> Yes. >> Mr. Babcock. >> I actually still have one question. >>
076Sorry. I'm sorry. On the motion. >> Okay. Um um I think you know I think this is awesome especially in a school system where we have 70% of our students English is not their first language and we have a very um multicultural city with many uh languages. Um so obviously you know having multilingual uh or bilingual um interpreters are key so key. Um how will educators that are interested in this will they be selected? Is this something that they apply for in this training? Um >> just they would apply that um our staff would be eligible to apply for those that deal specifically with IEP programming. Um our sped staff, they'd be most likely that would want to know to be able to do this, but it's not limited to them. >> And do they
077is it something they apply to through Desi or they they come to to administration and they say, "I'd like to do this." We'll post it on our website um for our faculty and staff to see. They would do the normal application process through um school spring and you know then we would select uh five uh five folks to participate in the training. >> Thank you >> Miss Babcock.

Um, each year, Miss Redler, who is our Adam School assistant principal, writes a grant to the cultural council and um engages with any number of different outside arts professionals to engage with our students in a in a specific uh closed environment at the school. It helps kind of foster collaboration, skills, um color identification, um and it doesn't cost us anything and it gives our kids just one more thing to uh to leave school with that particular day. So, I'd ask for your favorable action. >> Make favorable. >> Second. >> Motion has been made and seconded um for favorable action to accept an Ever Culture Council grant in the amount
