I would just like to extend uh regrets from Mayor Di Maria. He is at an out ofstate conference and we do have um committee member Joanna Garin attending remotely. So every thing we do tonight should be vocal uh roll call voting. Um, with that, could everyone join me in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the
002United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Madam Chairman. Yes, Miss Cristiano. Uh, I'd like to ask everybody if they could just uh stand up again. I'm asking for a moment of silence this evening for the victims and families of this past weekend's horrific deadly attack in Minnesota. This shocking life uh this shocking crime claimed the lives of state rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark as well uh two other uh legislators, a state senator and his wife were shot eight and nine times uh respectively. We must stand in unity in condemning in condemning this unspeakable act and in pledging to respect all people in all voices. But let's remember one thing. It should be respectful. To quote Minnesota's Governor
003Tim Waltz, "This cannot be the way we deal with our political differences." So again, uh it's been a it was a horrific weekend. uh just such a tragedy and uh I just ask this community in all communities to really come together to to think about how we can voice our differences more civily. Um, it's okay to disagree, but often the public speaking, even in this community, is sometimes filled with vitriol and hate. And, you know, I get it. It's your first amendment right, but it's not helping. It's actually hurting. It's hurting this community and it's hurting communities throughout this country. So, uh, again, I ask for a moment of silence and just hope that we can all be better from this. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Cristiano. Madam Chairman. Yes, Miss Cristiano. I'd like to
004suspend the rules and take Roman numeral seven uh items submitted by school committee members uh one and two uh out of order. Second.

Uh, we'd like to thank and recognize our student representative, Kelly St. Fort, for her service with the
005Everett School Committee. But first, a little bit about Kelly. Kelly is the definition of resilience as described by educators. She has served as student ambassador, been an active member of the history club, student advisory council. She's on the prom committee, Ever Youth Initiative Council, and served as vice president of the Hispanic Honor Society. She is currently the co-president of the STEM club, where she is a devout advocate, volunteering her summers to mentor and teach middle school students about STEM. Despite the demands of an internship that kept her out of the classroom two days a week, Kelly still ranks second in her graduating class. That is Ever Public School excellence. Kelly has brightened our community, our committee with her smile, and bubbly personality. Her updates were always thoughtful, thorough, and inclusive of student activities districtwide. I
006even noticed our superintendent echoing some of her insightful updates. Kelly, you've inspired many, this committee included. Thank you for your service, your leadership, your spirit. We can't wait to see all the amazing things you do beyond these walls. And on a personal note, I truly believe you'll be Hokag someday. Congratulations, Kelly, and thank you very much.

Superintendent, the next order of business. Roman numeral 5 report of the student representative, Miss St. Fort. Kelly, your final report. Good afternoon, everyone. I don't have a formal report today, but I would like to say some words for this last meeting. First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone on this committee, not only for your dedication to your community, but also for serving as great representatives for the students that
014wish to be in your role one day. I joined the student advisory council at the end of my freshman year and although I didn't think it was intended me for it wasn't intended for me to stay here this long, it has been one of the most memorable parts of my high school experience. I want to thank Miss Mcquilliam for her hard work with the council. Miss Mcilliam, your involvement in your community does not go unnoticed. I've had the best time representing the community under your guidance and I hope you continue to inspire future students. I would like to take a little bit of time to thank those in my family for their unconditional support. In particular, my aunt Weeden Mishad who saved my life um from the priest during the 2011 earthquake in Haiti. I
015didn't have time to bring this up during graduation, but I would like to give her a special thanks. Without your sacrifice, I literally would not be here today and I cannot thank you enough. I'd also like to thank my friends who have been there for me, especially Pablo Himenez for your words of encouragement and wisdom in times of doubtfulness. High school is tough for anyone, but I can confidently say that the support system Ever has offered me has truly helped me these last four years. I want to thank Dr. Cers for her for her encouragement, but more importantly for teaching me to be my most confident self. Dr. Ciders has always taught me to believe in myself and has always been there to pick me back up when I fail. truly thank you so much
016for the love and the one-of-a-kind community you've built for us. I would like I would also like to thank Mr. Munoz for being the first to teach me my freshman year coming back from CO that we are all growing and learning and learning together. You have been a pillar in both my education but also my social and emotional well-being. I knew that no matter what was going on, whether it was a hard class or regular high school conflict, I always had a place in whatever room you were in. You gave me and my peers a space to be ourselves, but also lent us an ear whenever we needed it. Thank you for being one of the first pe people or first person I saw every day and for making me smile even on the days
017that I didn't want to. In the beginning of the school year when we welcomed back teachers, I said some words that included being a teacher is a privilege, but so is being educated. We owe all that we know and all that we become to the generations before us. I would like to reiterate that and thank all the teachers who have shaped me into the person I am today. I will never shy away from saying I am from Everett where the teachers care deeply about their students. Lastly, no matter what political party you are affiliated with affiliated with, I think it is safe to say that the world we live in today has taken a turn towards uncertainty. During this time of uncertainty, I wanted to remind everyone that your compassion for those around you is
018your biggest gift. If you are able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and look at things from a different perspective, then you are one step closer to being the best version of yourself. I also want to remind everyone on this council that ever is ever due to the immense amount of diverse students we have. And diversity isn't just a card to pull when want to bring attention to a community or put it on a website, but real people with different backgrounds and lives that have been lived that should be heard and catered to. Never forget that diversity may unite us in ever, but in another town it may be a burden. Pay attention to the news, cross-ch checkck your facts, but most importantly, show compassion to those whose shoes you've never been in. Thank
019you everyone for your time. And that'll be all. Thank you, Miss Afort. Make a motion to accept that brilliant speech from his student representative. Second, Joanna, go right ahead. Okay. Hi there. Hello. Hi, Kelly. Um, just first of all, I apologize for not being there in person, but uh it's been a pleasure to be able to sit next to you. I I really do have the best seat because I get to sit next to the student representative and seeing you uh grow and all the things you've accomplished this year has been a real pleasure. So, um I I'm excited to see what you do next and I know it'll be great. Thank you, Miss Garen. Motion has been made and seconded to accept the student representatives report and place on file. Roll call. Mr. Alita
020Barros, yes. Miss Babcock, yes. Miss Barrows, yes. Miss Cornelio, yes. Miss Cristiano, yes. Mr. Denafhrio, yes. Miss Garren, yes. Madame Chair, yes. So moved 8 Z. So moved 8 Z. Motion passed. Superintendent. The next order of business. Roman numeral six. Roman numeral six report of the superintendent. Um superintendent's update. I will keep this brief because we have lots of um pieces of information and uh actions that you as a school committee must take this evening. Um, for many of you who have children in our district, you know that today was the last day of school for the school year. Our students were released at 11:00 a.m. We um had all grades released today with the exception of our prek program which ended last Wednesday um out of the two schools that house our preschool program.
021We didn't have any snow days that were called this year, which allowed us to keep on calendar, which um made today a last day of school. Um, and I appreciate all the wonderful work that was done throughout the school year and today is no exception. Everybody was really um energized by the day and uh we had a great dismissal. A lot of crying in the schools um teachers missing students, students already talking about wanting to see their their teacher over the school year. So, thank you everybody who made today another wonderful day at the Ever Public Schools. Not to uh downplay all the great things that happened in the school, but we had an an enormous graduation uh on June the 4th, and all of the school committee members can attest. We had over 550
022students uh cross the graduation stage at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Um pres uh the principal, Dennis Lynch, presided over the evening. It was a wonderful um recognition of the hard work that our students do to get them to that point in their in their um academic pursuit. We had student speakers which included our valadictorian Randy Cruz Villain Noeva, a saludiatoran and school committee student representative Kelly St. Fort and the class president Amelia Maria Babcock who uh as you could hear from tonight, Miss St. Fort. These are articulate young men and women who are educated in the public schools who cultivate their talents and they'll leave this building in a better place and they will do even more and more exciting things in their next chapter of their lives. And I wish um Kelly the greatest success
023as she continues to pursue higher education in her future. Um we had some very moving ceremonies last week in our K through 8 buildings. There's um these ceremonies which occur every year. uh basically the sendoff to our eighth grade students. And I will say that when we did that informal recognition of where our students are going to go beyond 8th grade, I would say, and I know that Miss Babcock and Miss Hurley joined me at almost all of those, if not all of those events, um 99% of those young people raised their hand and they're coming to Everett High School. So, we will welcome them and their families to Everett High School um in August of this coming year. I'd like to thank all the folks who put those programs together because you can imagine
024just setting up chairs and sound systems and coordinating all the um energy around those days with the students and their families. We wanted every event to be as exciting as it should be. And uh I think and please correct me if I'm wrong, members who were present, we had wonderful families coming together to cheer on their their youngsters. And um it's really heartening to see these kind of events occurring in our schools. So needless to say, we've had thou over a thousand kids move on either graduation or the 500 plus actually there were more than 500 students across the five uh schools that have eighth grade. So uh lots of excitement here in Everett. And uh previous to last week's, we also uh acknowledged in our sports banquet all of our our high schoolers who
025uh were on spring athletic teams. And we uh I want also want to thank Tammy Turner, our athletic director, and the assistant director, um Steve Gallagher, the coaches, and all the athletes um that came to wear their Crimson Tide uniforms for the last time during the 2425 year. another successful event recognizing the talent that we have here on Everett on the field and in the classroom and in clubs and all the organizations that our young people get involved in each and every school year. Thank you to all of them and we look forward to a healthy, safe summer for all of our students and those that can come back next year. I know that our staff will welcome them back with open arms. Madam Chair, that is the extent of my report this evening. Miss
026Pepcock, if it would be all right with you, I'd like to add one more thing that because it's been a busy week. Um there was also a lot of uh a band um ceremony as well and many of the students in our incredible music program from orchestra band, jazz band, winter guard um received uh awards as well and uh we just have a really talented group of students. Thank you. That was a great event. Thank you so much. Yes, it was. Thank you, Miss Pepcock. Any further questions for the superintendent? Make a motion to accept the report of the superintendent.

The next item is chapter 74 general advisory committee update. And let me just preface this by two things before you call two folks up to make a presentation. Um we just received word today that uh the state uh senate and house passed a conference committee budget which amongst other things will include an additional hund00 million for CTE programs. This is great news for us because this grant fund will support the expansion of programs throughout the districts across Massachusetts. And I' I'd like to thank the legislature publicly and I'm sure the governor will support this as uh an effort is put forward to support CTE programs
028which we will hear from uh a little bit more tonight. So, I'm going to ask you to call up our director of career and technical education, Siobhan Aria, and our CTE consultant, extraordininaire, Lisa Sandler, who um will with the chairs serve as our general advisory committee for CTE. Tonight, they're going to present you with an overview of the two advisory meetings that were held in the fall of 2024 and the spring of 2025. This is something that should occur annually in every district that has CCT programs. It hasn't in in the recent past, but it has this past year. And we have eight CTE programs, chapter 74 programs as they're known. Uh, one in advanced manufacturing, carpentry, culinary arts, health assisting, hospitality, management, marketing, medical assisting, and programming, and web development. Tonight, you're going to
029hear from both Miss Aria and Miss Sandler, and some presentation by our advisory committee chairs, which are also here to this evening. So, Madam Chair, um, with your permission, I'd like to have you call Miss Aria and Miss Sandler up. Moved favorable action. Second. Uh, favorable action. A motion made and seconded to invite uh, CTE director, Miss Sullivan, and Miss Sandler before us to present along with the um, CTE chairs. Roll call. Set all. Mr. Alita Barrows. Yes. Miss Babcock.

Welcome, Miss Sullivan and Miss Sandler. And um to any of our CTE chairs, if you do come up and um speak, just uh state your name
030for the record and introduce yourselves. Thank you. Hi, everyone. Hi everyone. Um, thank you so much for inviting us up. I just wanted to reiterate what the superintendent just said. Uh, we are making history here tonight at Ever High School by having the first ever general advisory committee for chapter 74 programs here in the district. So, what the superintendent said, we had two meetings this year, two program advisory committee meetings, one in the fall and one in the spring. And these chair people that you're going to hear from tonight, they were voted on in the spring meeting to represent each program. and they are going to kind of give you a brief overview of what those meetings spoke about, whether it's new equipment updates, um different curriculum we should be looking at. And these are
031industry members, industry professionals who work in their field currently that are giving us feedback on best practices and what our students should be learning in the classroom. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Superintendent Hart, the administrative team, the teachers, uh, who worked extremely hard during this year to start building and expanding their program advisory committees and building a general advisory committee. A lot of work has been done behind the scenes and they're continuing to reach out to the community to build the program advisory committees. So, we also welcome any suggestions you have for potential members. We're always recruiting for the program advisory committees. Just keep that in mind. You may have family members, friends who work in these industries and we'd be delighted to have them join our pack programs. Thank you. It's
032been an honor to work with Ever Public Schools. Thank you. Did you want to have um certain members come forward at this point? And when they do, maybe they could, as chairperson said, provide your name and the committee that you're in and the group that you're representing and talk a little bit about uh the the role of the work you've been doing. Sure. So, first I would like to invite up the speaker for advanced manufacturing, Michaela Kopka. Hello everyone. Um the pack discussed the importance of aligning instruction with industry expectations and emphasized certifications in 3D printing and robotics. Guest speaker Alex Kaine from Mass Hire shared insights into post-secondary pathways and Brian Npalitano noted a regional shortage of skilled machinists. This program should explore certification pathways in 3D printing and robotics, develop awareness of community
033college partnerships, and address industry demand for machine shop skills. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next, I would like to invite up um Eric Pierce. Eric is actually one of our carpentry instructors here at the high school. The chairperson for carpentry could not be here tonight, so Eric is going to speak on their behalf. Good evening. Um, so our pack was impressed with the program's use of student projects to improve shop infrastructure. Recommendations included organizing tools via a tool cage system and enhancing visual communication within the curriculum. Members also suggested adding hotworks and hoisting certifications and increasing partnerships for co-op and community based projects. The program should implement tool inventory improvements, pursue new certifications like hotworks and hoisting, and deepen industry and community partnerships for field experience and apprenticeships. Thank you, Mr.
034Pierce. Thank you very much. Thank you. And what what is the chair's name of your group so that folks know who that is? Uh we were undecided at the moment. We were hoping for Roberto Velasquez, but we needed someone who is in industry. Okay. Thank you. Okay. The other name is Michelle Wright um from the uh union. So Michelle will be contacting uh over the summer as well. Wonderful. Thank you. Uh next I would like to invite up Victoria Fabo. Victoria uh works in our culinary in the culinary arts field and she is our chairperson for culinary arts. Good evening. I'm Victoria Fabo and I am a culinary dietician. And a little bit about myself in the culinary world is that I have um background in healthcare and in food service industries. And as you
035see, I am wearing the Miss Everett sash. This weekend I participated in Miss Mass USA 2025 competition. But I'm really excited because the Everett schools is where I have started and I know the culinary field and what the program they're doing is really enlightening. So a couple of things that we discussed at the meeting I just wanted to tell you about. So, they have a really great kitchen setup. Some equipment does need to be updated or resituated so it's a little bit more safe and so that the students are more aware of how a kitchen is set up and how things could be more productive. Um, with that said, they also have a graband-go section. And this could be really utilized as a really foundation for kids to see how it works in real life,
036to actually market something, have somebody buy it and sell it and see how that revenue works and be really me uh responsible in that setting. Something else that they can work on as well is just some updates of the curriculum. There's a CPR certification that they could work on and take care of. um that's really essential in in while they're in the working environment. They already do serve safe as well. So if they those two go hand in hand, it would be really great that they could do that and they're going to continue to build their just readiness for soft skills and training. I know that the program that they have here is sets them up to go right into the workforce. So they do a really tremendous job. So thank you for all your
037time. Thank you. Excuse me. Next, I am going to invite up our speaker for health assisting, Amy Pierce. Hello, welcome. Thank you. The pack reviewed program facilities and suggested ongoing equipment upgrades, including new hospital beds and blood pressure machines. They emphasize diverse pack representation, clinical rotation opportunities, and expanded partnerships with area hospitals. The program needs to upgrade essential equipment, explore full-day clinical experiences, and strengthen partnerships with local hospitals to support certification goals in real world exposure. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Pierce. The next speaker is for hospitality management and that is Damen Gant. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for allowing me this moment to speak on behalf of hospitality management and just bear with me one moment. My apologies. So our pack members tooured the simulated resort training facility and emphasized on a
038need for critical equipment like point of sale system also property management system. The discussions also addressed outdated frameworks missing community industry support the importance of experiential learning and the industry specific field trips. Our program should secure essential equipment and expand field experiences in food and beverages, hotel operations, and hospitality services. At the time of this meeting, state framework for this program have been updated. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you, Miss Gant. Our next speaker is Jana Ballard and Jana is speaking on behalf of marketing. Good evening. The pack recommends preparing students for modern marketing trends including short form video SEO AI applications and multilingual campaigns. Certifications in software like Cap Cut, Adobe, Canva, and platforms like Sprout Social and Mailchimp were also discussed. Industry professionals stress the value of public speaking and
039real world strategy application. The program should integrate industry standard tools, expand shortly more. You please start. Sure. Good evening. Uh the pack recommended preparing students for modern marketing trends including short form video, SEO, AI applications, and multilingual campaigns. Certifications in software like Capkut, Adobe, Canva, and platforms like Sprouto and Mailchimp were also discussed. Industry professionals stress the value of public speaking and real world strategy application. This program should integrate industry standard tools, expand short form media creation, and emphasize brand communication, public relations, and customer experience skills across multiple platforms. Thank you so much. Next up, we have medical assisting. And I'm going to invite up Molly Pon for medical assisting. Thank you. I'm excited to speak to you this evening about medical assisting. Um the pack members recommended increasing field trips, securing more guest speakers,
040and emphasizing important soft skills like communications with geriatric patients. Interest was expressed in expanding partnerships with local medical institutions for co-op and clinical exposure. Uh the program should build more interactive experiences through clinical site visits, diversify field partnerships, and prioritize communication focused training um especially in the elder care environments where we know um there'll be more jobs created in the years to come. Thank you, Miss Pam. And our last speaker is Isaac Coward for programming and web development. Good evening. Um so the pack discussed concerns about classroom space and software setup. Suggestions include adding project management training, implementing agile methodology and continuing GitHub training. Current partnership with BJ BJK productions were praised and new student IT support roles within the school were proposed. The program should finalize equipment setup, embed agile based project management into
041the curriculum, and expand hands-on learning through school-based IT partnerships and local business engagement. At this time, the program has been in communication with the district chief technology officer, Joe Boutudo, to see how students can help with ticket requests at Ever High School. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. H. That was the last speaker and last presentation. So now if anyone has any questions I'm happy to answer. Mr. Baros. Thank you madam chair and thank you for the presentation. You uh both of you and all uh the speakers. I particularly love the the work of advisory committees. Uh we have some of those in the state uh which we call council but it's the same thing and they actually give advice to us on several number of issues. um those the work of them uh
042all the recommendations that they've delivered u that that will go to you and to the superintendent to put it in practice. That's that's how it works. In other words, what are you doing with their recommendations? It's a great question. So, some of the recommendations that we had um were put in place through the pack meetings. The meeting minutes were then summarized into what was discussed in each meeting. Um, some of these initiatives we actually are working on currently. Um, and the superintendent is aware of what was discussed and what each program needs as well as Miss Sandler here. Um, but I can say we have been working on all of these recommendations for the past month or so since the um, chair people were summarized the meeting minutes and we kind of sent those back
043to the teachers. So, everyone is on board with what needs to be going on and what needs to be discussed. Um just today, uh Miss Perry is one of our medical assisting teachers and she's here tonight as well. Um she held a meeting with different clinical partners to see how we can expand our medical assisting um clinical sites. We had um a student who just this past year, a graduate who was now going to be working full-time through the internship that um Miss Guzman and Miss Calv set up through programming web development. So the things that are talked about and the recommendations from the chairs we are actively working on um time uh ne like time money things come into play of course uh but with our Perkins grant that we do get in the
044fall a lot of these recommendations we will be working towards to kind of put in place in the next school year. Yeah, I mean thank you. I'm assuming that we are not going to put in practice mean that it never worked in practice everything that all recommendations that are given to us um there are things that we can implement things that we cannot implement um as as you know so I was just curious that's why I as the question because one the work of the of the committee is extremely important um and what we're doing with it but I I know that we're not going to be able to implement every single thing there are things because especially when you when you have advisory committees Um there are so many great ideas but sometimes look
045at the superintendent now the money is not out there or the space is not out there or there are things that we can't implement but it is it is uh extreme uh important they will continue to to to meet in a regular basis that's that's the goal moving forward by law we are required to meet twice per year so one meeting in the fall and one in the spring um and then this meeting will happen every year at the end of the school year once we've had both pack meetings then we get together at this meeting for the general general advisory committee meeting. Terrific. And thank you. And you mentioned that the you are always open to new uh advisory committee members. Where should we send those recommendations to? They should go to Siobhan. Got
046it. As the CTE director for the district. Okay. So, Brandon, I'll send you away and then you can send to your team. That would be wonderful. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Thank you both. And thank thanks everyone who presented and for the work because No, it's an advisory committee. It's a lot of work as I've joined advisory committees before and when you take it seriously uh it is a lot of work. So thank you all. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Baros. Miss Babuk uh I want to also thank you for you know supporting our students and giving your expert advice in the field that you are specialists in. I am curious uh you know just to extend on um um Mr. Amedabaros's comment. How how were you guys originally uh assembled or or joined? How
047did you originally join the pack? How did you how did you get your members uh your experts on your team here? A lot of uh social media posts. So using our own connections to find industry members that were in our own industries. So um when I was teaching marketing, I would post on LinkedIn. I would post on my own Facebook page um to see who I obviously had friends in the field to see how I could get them in to join the program program advisory committee. Um and same thing for every other teacher in our programs. They're posting, they're reaching out, they're uh putting flyers together, they're calling people. So, it's a lot of work on our end. Um which like Miss Sandler said, so if you know anyone, we would take anyone to join
048because we do really appreciate and value the feedback. Uh but it's a lot of um work on the teachers part to kind of get those people in. And what's really amazing is we have some industry members, some pack members who another teacher knew about or they have a friend in the a different industry field and they kind of brought them in. So it's really using your connections, networking and getting those people involved. We also uh personally I had reached out to the chamber of commerce for members in the industry as we looked at the the eight different um programs that we have to see if there was interest in our own community members were already engaged in the community and we certainly um I think that one-on-one approach is important because some people don't realize
049what goes into it and I um I applaud the work that they've done just recruiting the initial set of um team members I'll call them because they're doing a lot of good stuff in the initial phase and we'll continue to grow on the expertise of these groups um by meetings like this um communicating with others in the industry and it it does grow and I I know that uh Mia and uh Miss Sandler are working with the team to bring some more folks on board keep the conversation robust. Miss Ba one more sort of question or or suggestion. Um, what's an easy way or could you provide us like a little bit of information that sort of simplistically explains what you're looking for in an advisory committee to somebody who who might be interested? I
050know some folks in nursing, healthcare, and and in hospitality that that uh might be useful for your committee as well. And it would be, you know, it's kind of sometimes hard to explain to somebody else, well, this is what we're doing and I'm not sure if I could explain it well enough. Is there any information you could provide with us so that we could might be able to share it? Really, we're just looking for feedback on best practices um in the industry in the industry. So, the teachers that are in the CTE programs have all previously worked in the industry they're currently teaching in. So, they come from industry. Uh but when you're removed from industry for a few years, things can change drastically. So what we really want is feedback from people still working
051in the field who can provide us information on best practices um new technologies how to incorporate AI into the industry that they're we're teaching the students because AI is not going anywhere. So how do we adapt that and use it um as a tool so all of these things using their knowledge in the field and how we can adapt it into our classroom. Thank you so much. Thank you. If I may from the chair, I just have one question or clarification really. Um, a few of the programs mentioned field trips. Um, I assume that's not linked to our nursing issue. Correct. More along the lines of just finding opportunities within those specific um programs for opportunities and field trips for the students. Yes. So we um one of the great things about chapter 74 and
052CTE programming is work-based learning. Uh so having sending students out to experience different uh field trips opportunities. We've gone on so many this year. Um so thank you Superintendent Hart for allowing us to do that. Um we use a lot of our Perkins funding to get students out into uh different field trip experiences. We sent our health assisting and medical assisting students to Harvard Medical School to go through simulation labs. um our hospitality management students took a um trolley tour all through Boston and kind of got to hop on and hop off and really experience that. Uh so any field of opportunity that we go to, it really has to do with the curriculum, with the industry and what they're going to be learning. Perfect. Thank you. Any further questions? Um no, we'll make a
053motion to excuse our our guest if Mart second. Thank you. Motion has been made by Mr. Barrow, seconded by Miss Cornelio to excuse our guests with customary thanks. Roll call. Mr. Elmeros, yes.

Superintendent, the next order of business. Next order of business is the superintendent's report of entry findings. Um, and with your indulgence, I um will try to keep this as brief as possible, but wanted to be sure that I made this uh report to the school committee at the end of the school year. Um, at each of your uh places u it is the
058superintendent's entry report of entry entry findings. This is a report that is backed up by um data and some of my own research uh along with the work of the district. But um if you can just follow along with me, I've presented a few slides for your consideration, but there are additional slides at your place. Um this is a process that uh normally comes uh and as you may remember back in August of last year I presented to you um my entry information and I broke it up into three phases. So I'm going to go through a little bit of that this evening. the report that you have in front of you is much more documented and and there's much more to read and I welcome your comments um you know upon uh the time
059that you finish reading it and it may come up from discussion uh when the committee does what it may with it. So just as a reminder um if you want to follow along in the slides behind me I was appointed as the um interim superintendent and then superintendent in December of 27, 2023. Uh my engagement with the ever public schools came at a time of significant change for the district. The world was returning to some normaly after the covid pandemic and I entered a time during which there was much um anxiety both internally and externally to ever public schools. My goal was first and foremost to listen and then to learn what would help this district and the community heal and ultimately thrive. I immediately began meeting with various stakeholders, including but not limited to
060teachers, parents, and students. All segments of our employee groups, city offices, and personnel that work particularly close with us, including um the police departments, the fire department, um civic and community groups. And I was also um trying to be sure that people knew that I was here to kind of stabilize as you remember or steady the ship um promote collaboration and restore some civility into our dialogue and actions as we move forward together. As all of you know um all new superintendents do an entry plan when they begin their leadership post in a district. I had submitted my entry plan uh back to you as I just mentioned in late August. A report of findings is then completed as a result of this process and it's submitted to each of you as school committee members.
061The report of findings serves as the basis of my evaluation or any evaluation of a new superintendent in conjunction with the department of elementary and secondary education standards that each um superintendent follows across the state of Massachusetts. It also for me will set uh the beginning of a roadmap for setting some strategic priorities and a shared vision that I hope each of you will support as we um now begin my second full year as superintendent. Just as a a friendly reminder of the entry plan phases and I think that's behind me survey the vessel which uh as you remember was my kind of um symbol for my beginning of this phase these phases and it went from January of 2024 through June of 2024. Phase two was I called steadying the ship and it went
062from June of 24th through December. And phase three was charting a course which is about to conclude and it go it went from December 24 through June of 25. Now if you remember again that initial um presentation kind of laid out the steps that would be taken in those in those time frames. So tonight I've placed in front of you both a report of entry findings as well as a comprehensive PowerPoint which is a separate uh document. It may be included in I think it's included in your three- ring binder. And this um report of findings typically includes an overview of the activities and steps I evaluated findings of our strengths and also finding of some challenges. In essence, this is kind of a analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to our
063system. For example, one strength finding in the report is the highest is the excuse me, the high school received a positive accreditation review from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. That's a great finding. It's a strength. And by contrast, one of the challenges that I discovered is that we had no written IT mitigation plan or procedures for serious IT crises or security threats across all of our district. So these are things that you will see thematically throughout the report. The report also includes a section I developed and is referred to as opportunities and actions. It's like a strategic implementation. In this section, I shared with you areas within the phases of my entry plan that have already been addressed or are in the process of being addressed andor implemented by myself and the
064team here. Based on my findings, I recommend I also recommended a strategic priority areas of focus that I have proposed for our future work together. Although we would typically set goals for at our first meeting of the next academic year, I have decided to share some potential goals for your consideration so that you have time to think about them over the summer months. As my tenure began off cycle in December of last year, this will be the first full year for an evaluation period. The report of findings is a dense and academic report in nature. I wanted you all to have time uh to read it and digest it and I look forward to working with the ad hoc evaluation committee and answering any questions about the report and its specific findings. And finally, I'm
065I'm really proud of the work that we've done here together, especially the contracts that have been um successfully bargained without any disruption to our academic year. Um, we've developed two very transparent and comprehensive fiscal budgets that were developed in concert with the entire district and its people and of course the members of the school committee. The the district leadership team which um is being built to include position focused as you know on teaching and learning and student success as well as student services. My priorities are our students and their safety and the student opportunity act plan that had been adopted over a year ago and I've been successfully implementing that plan now in its second year. There was really so much to celebrate here and I try to bring those points to your attention each
066and every time we come together. But there really is a lot more to do and I am excited about the opportunities to bring us to that next level. And I also truly appreciate the support that each of you have shown me in my time here. As you know, there are challenges to running any operation of this size. And it is only with the support and encouragement and direction that I receive from each of you and of course the many people that make up this wonderful district, a district we all call home, um we're going to do good things in this district. We're going to continue to do them. And um as long as you'll have me, I promise you that I will give you my best foot forward each and every day. And I know
067that the people that I surround myself with will carry out the mission that hopefully you will adopt and endorse this evening and beyond to know that you have a superintendent who is going to stay focused on the work you all and some of you weren't here to hire me, but those of you who continue to support me, I am here to do the work that you need to be done here. Period. There is no other agenda. I continue to say that in community meetings and others. I am here to serve the students of this district and I will continue to do that amidst conversations about uh concerns. Um I'm open. I listen. I get information. I work with people who want to work with me. And I know that this plan will be successful and
068it'll be it'll work for our district not only for this coming year but hopefully for years to come. So, um, with your indulgence, um, I appreciate the time that you've listened to me this evening. I'd ask you to take home the report of entry findings. We've spent some time assembling that information and backing it up with, um, some supporting documentation that will prove that I've embarked on this journey. I've taken some um, some good direction and got some good information and I think we are on to uh, bigger and better things. And again, I appreciate your time this evening, Madam Chair. That is um my item on the report of entry findings. Thank you. Superintendent, do we have any questions regarding the um report? Um Mr. Bars. Uh well, first of all, thank you superintendent
069for this. I'm looking forward to it to read page by page. This is uh for my colleagues who haven't had a chance to review a superintendent yet. This is one of our top and main obligations as school committee member. You hire or you fire the superintendent and you evaluate the superintendent. It's the only one that we evaluate in the district as you know and just mentioned this to the public. Um you approve the budget and the policies for the district. So I'm looking forward to it to read each one of this. I guess I'd like to hear from the chair what is the next step uh on this. So next step and I want to thank the superintendent for um communicating with me and being very um thorough and um eager to get this done.
070Uh next step would be this would these materials would be referred to the ad hoc subcommittee for further review in order to prepare and get the evaluation ready for the whole committee. Perfect. In in the meantime, I would also uh madame chair ask my colleagues who haven't had a chance to evaluate the superintendent yet um to look at the website of the Mass Association of School Committee. It has a guide for school committee members on how to evaluate the superintendent. It's important for us to know because the superintendent's evaluation will go online will be public including the rubrics uh what you did uh is actually a public document and when you uh evaluate so what you write how you vote what you not you don't vote you vote just then how you write how you
071evaluate all of those will be for the public eye. So that's why it's important that we read um the evaluation process. It's available both at the m associate mess association of school committee website also the med association of school superintendent which superintendent hard is part of it. Thank you. If I could add to that, within the ad hoc, we would um we would figure out materials to share with the body in order to help the process so everyone understands. And I believe there's um a desi rubric and guidelines we have to follow. Make a motion to refer this to the ad hoc committee. Second the motion. in motion has been made and seconded to refer the report of findings to the ad hoc committee for review. Uh roll call. Just kidding. Mr. Barrow, on the
072motion, Madam Chair, have you formed the committee? I'm wondering if we should The motion should be to refer this to you who will then appoint committee members. We formed the committee. We formed the ad hoc committee when we rearrange subcommittees in January. So, okay. So, that So, okay. Fine. So, let's go with it. All right. Thank you. No problem. Uh, roll call. Mr. Almeida Barrows. Yes. Miss Babcock? Yes. Miss Baros? Yes. Miss Cornelio? Yes. Miss Cristiano? Yes. Mr. Denafhrio? Yes. Miss Garin? Yes. Yes. Madame Chair? Yes. So moved. 80. So moved. Motion passed. Superintendent. The next order of business. The next item of business is in the acceptance of a $5,000 donation to the Devon School from the FSI Foundation for Autism. I'd ask you for favorable action. Mr. Coyle, Mr. Sean Coyle, and the
073foundation that he leads uh quietly makes a series of donations each year to one of our schools, and this year it um is to the uh Devon School. So, I'd ask you to accept the donation uh of $5,000. Motion has been made and seconded to accept the $5,000 donation to the Devon School from the FSI Foundation for Autism. Roll call. Mr. Almeida Barrows. Yes. Miss Babcott? Yes. Miss Barrows? Yes. Miss Cornellio? Yes. Miss Cristiano? Yes. Mr. Denafhrio? Yes. Miss Garren? Yes. Madame Chair? Yes. So moved. 8 Z. So moved. 8 Z. Motion passed. Superintendent, the next order of business. I'm asking for your approval of an acceptance of a $12,000 grant for the MEL Community Foundation. This uh grant will establish a dual language immersion program steering committee to support a planning process that should
074take about a year to determine the feasibility of oak bidding a program like this in Everett. This will give an opportunity for us to see how if we choose to move forward, how we will arrange the offerings um for a dual immersion program. Many other districts have it. Everett does not. Um so we um this is our first step in receiving funds to support stipens to get teachers involved. And then we're going to plan make a plan um to see if this could work in Everett. And I I'd like to uh thank the the team headed by Dr. Adams um who brought this to us to consider. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for us to be able to cultivate and strengthen our non-English speakers in curriculum across the district. um we would start
075in lower grades if we decided to go this route. There's usually a couple of options, but I want staff and others to be part of the process. So, um with your approval of the grant, uh this evening, we can get our committees uh working so that they can begin the process of reviewing options for this ever public schools. Make a motion to accept the $12,000 grant from the MEL Community Foundation. Second, Miss Pepk, a question. Uh I'd just like to speak on the motion. I I when I was um working on one of my teaching certifications at UMass uh Boston, my mentor led the um OLA program in Cambridge and they also have the Niha program that's a dual immersion and it's remarkable. You've you've got kids outside playing basketball together and they're speaking Chinese
076to each other of all nationalities and the the students came out actually speaking fluently two languages. So I really hope that this grant leads somewhere really exciting that we do too. That's why we wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get the foundation to fund us, begin that conversation and make a plan if that's what our community decides to do. I think there's great value in this and there are plenty of examples that this is um it also leads to stronger student outcomes and that's really what I'm trying to look at every option to benefit our students and if this is one more way then we're going to try to take that path. I think that's amazing because um it lets both sides understand how difficult it is kind of like our seal of
077biiteracy on how it is to acquire another language and understand another level of communication um on both sides. So I very exciting. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Motion has been made by Miss Cornelio, seconded by Miss Barrows to accept the $12,000 grant from the MEL Community Foundation. Roll call. Mr. Elita Barrows. Yes. Miss Babcock, yes. Miss Baros, yes.

I'm requesting favorable action because um in the next couple of items because a lot of districts um just make a blanket approval for our

I'd like to give the um the our athletic the the department the authority to permit eighth graders to play on Crimson Tide teams in the coming school year. And this is a kind of a blanket um permission. As you may remember, I've did that from time to time in the previous year, but this is just gives us the opportunity again to allow eighth graders to play um in junior varsity uh freshman and junior varsity teams. make um make a move to favorable action to allow eighth graders to participate in um Everfort sports.
