006to go to work for good companies mr zhiro yes i had a question for the superintendent regarding the thousand dollar donation from the cummings uh property foundation i i know that they are all who i see it on their website they're always looking for um skilled electricians plumbers any of the construction type things did we have to apply for that or is that just something that they presented to us i was wondering if maybe we could come up with a great working relationship with them since they give to non-profits yeah i believe one of our plumbing and instructors had a relationship with them and then we have placed students with them over the years everything carpenters electricians plumbers so they hire all the construction trades as you know they're a huge property management company in

008on january 7 2021 the cost is 311 dollars and 38 cents move the recommendation [Music] questions roll closer miss fitzgerald miss disler miss morata mr lamontagne yeah miss mama and mr sorello update on the dress code so um i'm not sure that the committee is aware we did have a concern from one of our parents regarding our that all our students were not following the dress code so we did address it we in the beginning of the year had issues with trying to get some of the uniforms so and also we had issues with trying to get all our ids for our students as we were having problems with the software in order to produce them since then we've been able to all the students do now have now have uniforms and have their ids
009so all students are expected and have been following the dress code since the over the last week or so and the regulations require all students to wear their shop uniform both on academic week and on shop week the issue was there were some students who were not totally wearing their sharp uniform on academic week but it's been resolved and but i did want to give an update to the committee that as i knew know that you were succeed on an email i have a couple of questions but i'm going to turn it over to the members [Music] vivian do you have a question comment um this student dress code is this what currently the students have in their handbook and that the reason why i asked because there's several typos that i've noticed off the
010bat then my second part of the question was i'm noticing the the dress code per shop is this what is required for their academic week as well the it depends for the most part it depends on the uh like in some of your specific programs like medical they don't need to wear that particular uniform on the academic week and in um culinary where they wear a specific outfit for the culinary in the kitchen they don't need to wear those specific but in terms of their sharp t-shirts and not that they do have to wear their sharp t-shirts and their and meet the requirements of the pants and the dress code for uh all their other uh wear that they uh use in the shop other than specific shops where you wouldn't expect them to wear
011scrubs in their academic week uh so for mo for the most part there are some exceptions uh to so to what you see based on a shop okay because some i'm seeing that the bottoms are khakis so they're required to wear khakis for academic week as well and then if they're safety boots are they required for safety boots they're not required to wear their safety booth boots on academic week okay just on shop week and then the bottoms how are the bottoms they can wear their khaki they need to wear pants khakis or jeans uh are acceptable they can't be ripped or torn they can't wear pajama bottoms or anything like that they have to be appropriate dress wear that i understand i don't know i just um when it comes to academic week i
012don't understand why um it's so specific um regarding the type of but like what does it matter if they're wearing jeans versus khakis so they could possibly be disciplined and i could i noticed that their tenants could be affected if they're disciplined by it over the type of pants that they're wearing um and i completely you know i'm definitely in the in the school's favor in regards to not allowing um the ripped jeans the pajamas like that's obviously um going a little overboard um but i just feel like um especially in the summer time i'm wondering if this could be considered excessive and um from my understanding there was a petition that was created and signed by over 500 students um is that something that you were aware of superintendent yeah um well in terms
013of our uniform uh regulations that we had a committee that was formed i don't know maybe four or five years ago to look at our dress code and take into considerations many issues that we thought that they thought were important at the time and their rationale for uh keeping consistency both in the classroom in the shop uh one of the reasons was that we had when we had the students who were in shop for half a day both our 10th graders and ninth graders we used to have kids that would be changing in the hallways in the middle of the day because they would go they'd be sharp in the morning academics in the afternoon and then they would be we had problems with kids that were changing in the in the shop so that
014i mean in the hallways it started to become a problem so we wanted to address that so we said you keep your uniforms on all day and so in order to have consistency across the board that was one of the reasons one of many reasons but that's one that comes to mind that i can remember off top of my head exactly and also having trying to keep equity within our school in terms of what was affordable for our kids and fair for all kids in terms of trying to have some equity with the with that part of the dress code as well in terms of the [Music] the petition that went out i do know that there was a petition that went out with four or five hundred students that petitioned to have the dress
015code chains and our principal uh mr linsky dealt with that issue she could probably fill you in a little more because she worked with them on that thank you i just i just want to respond and also acknowledge the typos because i noticed that too last year um you know the student handbook where we were out remotely it was just kind of there weren't many changes made at all there were a couple recommendations from our school council which we made however i this year the whole handbook will be gone through kind of with a fine toothed comb for those things a few of the things that we've discovered around the dress code is it really spells out what is required for the shop weeks but it's very it's not as specific or clear for academic
016week and when we sent out the emails to um start to have the dress code enforced i got a lot of questions for example if i'm in medical if i'm in you know medical assisting or health insisting are you saying i have to wear my scrubs because that's what it says here and in essence no you have to just wear like a medical sweatshirt or a t-shirt but it doesn't spell it out there so what we plan to do is have kind of like a smaller committee which has students staff and community members like from our school kind of take a look at this and make it clearer so there's no questions also like as you say it's unclear because it talks about khakis and jeans but there would never be someone that if they
017didn't have khakis on academic week that would have any type of disciplinary matter so it was brought to my attention that the students start a started a petition on change.org well there was a student it was anonymous there were over i think people that kind of signed on to it many of them were glts students others were just kind of interested and i applaud them for kind of their advocacy in that way we didn't have any issues as far as like a protest here where everyone showed up in their pajamas so it was done respectfully they put their voices out there so it is our plan after the holiday to meet with those student organizations such as school student council and some of the leaders say of the classes just to kind of start to
018talk about that a little bit um when you read through the comments some of that some of it is definitely we need to clear up some misinformation um but there's also some very very good comments that we need to have dialogues with our students on so we were aware that i let mr superintendent levoy know and it is our plan to meet with to start to have some students so they can have a voice in it and make sure that whatever we decide is also spelled out easily in our student handbook so it's able to um we're able to kind of like everyone's clear i got a lot of great questions also from parents and it just made me realize with the ques how many questions we got that it's not quite clear enough on
019academic weeks what we need to do so that is definitely a plan for this year in making sure that whatever our dress code turns out to be that we have it more clear for both shop week and academics um especially the typos as well um i also will say that um you know the first couple days we did have a couple incidents where students came and they still had ripped jeans and um there was not anything where we did anything punitive it was more like a warning and they were able to go down to the discipline office and if they weren't able to have someone bring them something we were able to provide them like alternate clothing until they could get something so we didn't keep anyone out of any classes or any learning because
020again this is a time where we just want to make sure that it's more of a mutual understanding of what we expect just to wait i would like to finalize my thoughts um upon hearing uh miss linsky's um take on what has happened with the dress code and i'm glad that this is going to be an ongoing discussion um and i read every comment that the students made in this petition and i think as committee members we should take that into account in listening to the students as well um obviously with a balance because there there needs to be rules so you know definitely in favor of a dress code policy but um as you were saying because of the fact that it is there's a gray area in the academic week um i think
021that kind of leaving it up to the discretion of the teacher on whether they find something an issue with what they're wearing when it potentially isn't like because from what i've heard is one teacher may have an issue with something versus another teacher may not find no problem at all um and then some of the comments that i read from the students were that um some of the reggie gear was quite expensive i'm not sure how much a shirt or a sweater cost but um i'm just glad to see that you guys would kind of also have students partake in this process and have their voices heard and hopefully we'll be able to take care of whatever the ongoing issue is with the dress code would you happen to know when they have gym class
022are they allowed to change to gym gear sweatpants or okay yeah so again through covid we did have a challenge typically all students would change for gym but then during covid we weren't having anyone change now we're encouraging students to change for gym especially when they're in our new gym making sure that they have the proper footwear and you know one of the things that i noticed through those comments and i've really had to reflect on it and i've talked a little bit about is that part of having a dress code is for equity so then you don't have someone that has you know some clothing that someone else might not feel well but that like feel bad about what they have on but then now the introduction of reggie gear brings another layer to
023it because that is available at our school store but you know depending on people's access to it so we are taking a look at all of that and want to make sure that we have you know something that i think that we found and there is research that shows that having some form of dress code it definitely does have many many benefits but we also want to um hear the students voice on those especially you know for the academic week so i'll be working closely with the superintendent and the students on that and we'll update you superintendent i did want to say that as soon as we um started having some issues with the uniforms and with the concerns of the students we did send an email out to uh all bulletin out to the
024students parents and everyone stating that they were going to have enough we were going to be putting a committee together with the students and the staff so we wanted them to be we expected them to follow the dress code but that we as soon as the holidays were done we're going to give them an opportunity to express their concerns and their voices through a committee where they would have some say in the dress code moving forward how many committee like so how many students are you guys willing or are able to participate we haven't made any decisions on the sides of the committee yet um so to me um one of the concerns i had from parents was won the price of the um rigid gear two a lot of parents can't come to the
025school so and i believe i asked mr superintendent and ms zielinski about the website um then i got the feedback well it's not working it's not up um then you send a email afterwards about where to call so those are two um two concerns and then the other one is what is considered reggie gear and speaking with a particular child who ended up having issues with that because he had what was con clothes that were reggie gear but the teacher was saying they're not appropriate uniforms or um closing to be worn so and and you're right this definitely needs to be um better clarified um especially for academics so we have to identify what is considered going to be considered reggie gear what are they going to be where what is it acceptable for them
026to wear um and try to see how we could figure out to um get the online store up and running for those parents that cannot come in person um mr you had your hand up i do want to let you know that i did hear from sue olette who does run our school store and i'm just waiting for the link she was able to um she has the new school store link up and running she's kind of beta testing it before she releases it to all the students and families but it will be easier access and ways to order once that store starts and i expect that to be right out right after the first of the year she got the link and she's just testing it thank you any further questions um thank you
027for the update and i went to hear what the students say okay mr superintendent um update a committee on opening up the school restaurant to the public when we put this out to the committee we sent out the packets i had a request to open the school restaurant and cosmetology shop after the holidays but at this time i would table this to see the uh what's happening with the virus between now and the end of the vacation before and bring the exact protocols procedures they're working on in order to open this school restaurant and cosmetology shop so those and they may change between now and january 1st so i'm going to table this until we see the transmission and what's happening in the city over the next few weeks before i have the committee vote
028on allowing this to happen to the table motion by leo seconded by vivian you second yeah ms fitzgerald miss disler miss morata mr lamontagne yes miss marmal and mr cirillo chair welch yes capital improvement request um end account so i just wanted to inform the school committee that the capital improvement committee met last week to look at uh some of the capital improvement projects that we've already presented to you to make sure we didn't miss any and to look at some potential projects that were not on there that we may want to utilize end account money for but we decided to table a request to the committee until we get more information on our end account because we haven't been able to finalize the number once we have a final number that we're going to
029get certified uh we can i will then bring you back more information about that but i did want the community to know that we have met so that you know that when we meet that you know that a meeting has happened can i get a motion to table i'm sorry ready for me any questions so miss fitzgerald yes mr tesla miss morata mr lamontagne yes miss mama and mr cirillo um corp report so you you should have uh you have a copy of our co-op report in your package at this present time we have 130 students out on co-op and there are 271 students that are eligible we continue to continue to put more students out to work that number continues to grow each week and we're probably a little bit ahead of where we've
030been in the past in terms of placing students so and the students that we've been placing this year we found are staying on the job uh for longer periods of time so uh that given the fact that many of the students who are going to work this year have had less hands-on experience because of covid last year where they weren't in our last year so we're pretty happy with the performance of the students who have been out working this year and have gotten back lots of great reports in terms of their attendance attitude and effort which is so important to so many of our employers so it's been so far a good year for co-op any questions and mr superintendent we only have one for stem that's out unfortunate one which program are you looking
031at sce steam steam at this time we only have one steam student out on co-op out of five who are eligible there are ten seniors in that particular engineering program that's typically been a difficult program to put place students on on co-op many of the students are taking a lot of the advanced courses because they're looking to be engineers so that's typically a low number we typically have for that particular program that's not unusual particularly at this time of year any other questions hearing none january calendar you have a january account that just lists some of the events and activities that are uh going on uh in january one in particular uh you might find interesting is that on um the to be determined is grade nine parent selection information right so we do a
032freshman information night with the parents just before they select their programs so which is an important night and we try to get every ninth grade parent involved in this particular uh event because it's so important for the parents to help guide the students in picking their career choice that will happen in the middle of january but we haven't picked a specific date at this time any questions i have a question um is that going to be impersonal is it going to be remote that'll probably be remote district committee priorities saying none hearing none policy adc smoking on school premises no changes can i get a motion don't move this question here or none miss fitzgerald yes miss disler miss morata yes mr lamontagne yes miss mama and mr cyrillo chairwold yes new business anybody wants
033anything for new business tablet matters all cleared um personal consideration report resignations it's the superintendent we have one resignation mr james christie our chemist chemistry teacher effective december 10 2021 no leaves of absence retirements uh appointments miss madison portorell part-time school committee recording secretary effective december 14th today which madison is here with us welcome madison thank you madison so uh we have uh two uh pre-native so we auto collision is going through a native accreditation process and so we're looking for one position at 45 hours to do the pre-work for natef certification that's to get the program certain atef certified the process is done every three years teachers uh hourly rate is 35 dollars an hour uh asap i want to start it very soon and it's a replacement position which we do every three

035for do you want me to just go do you want me to read each one of these fully or do you want me just give you the titles so we're looking at an evening el adult advanced manufacturing instructor and it's for 315 hours for our uh advanced manufacturing program in the evening can i get a motion discussion all in favor aye aye el pair professional for evening adult advanced manufacturing training and it's to support el students that will be in the evening program to help the instructor with el students can i get a second any discussion all in favor all right we're looking for an el teacher for el boot camp uh and it's to prepare many of our evening students who struggle with english to prepare them to take our evening programs and we
036find that when we offer this pre-program this boot camp that they're much more successful then we also include an el instructor in many of the programs to assist the instructors in the different programs so we're looking for someone to teach this boot camp can i get a motion and discussion uh i got this question mr superintendent are we evaluating what level they are coming in for english programs we do we do an assessment uh and we work with the math hire who we uh work with in terms of they make recommendations to us for the different instructors and they do an assessment as well so we get some feedback from them in terms of who needs to who would benefit by going into the boot camp um okay um vivian is this considered for the
037after dart program or is this the day time the adult program it's for the adult program at night that's what i meant to say okay um the motion by maybe leo seconded by marilyn anybody any further discussion though um all in favor all right osha osha 10 instructor for evening advance advanced manufactured training this is uh offer a 15-hour osha uh program so that students are in our advanced program uh receive a 10-hour osha card which helps them to for us to place them in jobs when they finish the 300-hour program second any discussion all in favor evening adult carpentry instructor so we're looking for a math instructor for evening bilingual advanced manufacturing training so this is a math teacher that works on the math aspect of the program that aligns to the advanced hands-on
038part of the manufacturing program question all in favor evening carpentry evening adult carpentry instructor for the 300-hour carpentry training program discussion all in favor evening a little hvac evening adult hvac instructor it's another 300 introductory to hvac training for unemployed and underemployed adults as well this question all in favor [Music] can you go over the van yeah so we there are uh did you get did they get handouts susan on these other three okay so so you have three other postings that didn't go out with your packet so i often struggle with whether bring this to the committee or not so the thing i would say i would be looking for a vote from the committee before you vote on this to be acceptable accepting the fact that there are times i get late postings
039that come out to me after the uh you get your packets but they're postings that are in most cases critical that we're looking for someone to uh for a certain position so i'll give an example this van mini bus driver for athletics so we we've been told by the bus company that they will have a hard time getting our students to uh games and and meets which track and not leave here before four o'clock instead of leaving here at three which makes them late to the event and also makes them uh often late to get back in time to get the bus home at night so i've got a request on monday for this particular position if we don't vote on it then we're at the mercy of the bus company whether we're going to
040be able to get students between now and the next time we have a meet which we'll have i mean now in our next meeting which we have different of basketball games or track meets or this allows us to use our minivans to drive students and and we would hire teachers and people from the school in order to drive these buses a lot of times the coaches will drive the buses to get the students there so i guess i would be looking for a vote from the committee with the fact that if the committee does not want me ever to bring late postings i need to know that and i won't do it anymore but because i struggle with this bringing late postings i know the committee doesn't particularly like it but i do it because
041i think it's important for a programmer for the students so i'm a little bit confused are you asking for motion for to bring in um to post late postings when they're important for student events or for positions that are important to the student learning who's the recommendation superintendent discussion mr cheryl then mrs marble i think it's unreasonable for us to think that everything goes the way we'd like it to that we'd have a two-week notice or whatever else this is a perfect example across the state events are being canceled athletic events because the primary goal of the bus companies is to get the kids to and from school from their homes and on the other end they're unable because of the driver shortage and everything else um and some places the athletic directors or the
042coaches are ending up having to drive so this is just an example of why john doesn't do this as a regular happening but when it happens it's a necessary thing so let's say a teacher resigned suddenly for whatever reason if we wait to post that job um when it's already a position it's not a new position we're hurting the children so i think this is a perfect example of why we should be able to entertain a late posting i just wanted clarity what was the motion to bring in um like postings do we need a motion for that we technically don't because at the end of the day it is within robert rules and it is up to the chair's discretion but he's going to allow as far as late postings but leo made i
043believe leo correctly romero made a motion maryland second it um anything further vivian um benzoyla loyola vivian you also okay um the late posting means that we're going to get this excuse i hold on i didn't hear what you said toilet i'm sorry posting as you are requesting that means we're going to get a paper afterwards that's what it means right we're still going to read it here we're still going to approve it i don't see a problem with that i mean we've been doing that all alone um and i think the reason why you're requesting this is because the discussion we have last meeting that it was a a request to approve something that wasn't even in the late posting that was the discussion that we had last time nothing to do with bringing
044something later as long as we had the paperwork to go for and approve did i understood that right yes but my my feeling is that um i want to be comfortable bringing in late postings knowing that the committee is comfortable with me bringing in late postings if the committee if you said to me we don't want any late postings then that allows me to know how to operate moving forward i get i've got a posting today in fact so and i had to make a decision whether i wanted to bring it to the committees at such a late time knowing that committee doesn't particularly like late postings but i brought it forward to the committee knowing how important it was in order to have the particular position posted because the need to support one of
045our special ed students that was going to be out doing sporting events and by regulation needed to have an assistant at that meeting so i just want to know i guess to be clear that it will happen from time to time if the cup the penny committee is comfortable with that if the committee doesn't feel like they need to vote on it that's fine but i just want to feel comfortable in doing that so here's my question um you had a blade person that came in today and you're questioning what to bring before the committee so at that point don't you think you should have called me to say this is um what i'm thinking and we met earlier today so yeah so it hasn't been a practice where i uh if i have a
046posting that i bring it to the chairman before i bring it to the committee but if that's something that the chairman would want me to do i'd be happy to call a chairman anytime i have a late posting if that's what you want me to do vivian ah actually so are you done yeah my comment is still the same as long as we get the information on paper of anything that coming late on the meeting i don't see any problem with that but we need to have the information and know all the time if all the information if this information that's critical for that posting for us to be able to approve or at least i'm talking about me obviously it's not going to happen but we as long as we have the the information
047and um and we can discuss it i don't see a problem with that at all i think that's fine we've been doing that all along like i said before yes um vivian yeah i just wanted to add um you know i i don't i don't have an issue uh as long as we have something written that i could read off of what the position is about and i think worst case scenario if there was ever a dispute or questions additional questions regarding that specific position you just end up tabling it until you know until whatever the question is is resolved um so yeah that was my take i didn't think we needed to make a motion to allow you to bring in postings well after the fact that an agenda has already been created that's
048all there's a motion until mailed by leo seconded by marilyn rojosu miss fitzgerald yes miss disler miss morata mr lamontagne miss marmal and mr cyrillo no and the van minibus driver athletic superintendent looking for a van mini bus driver for athletics this position is responsible for driving jlts fan minibus to away athletic events applicants must provide the following valid driving license complete necessary paperwork for massachusetts residents insurance company will access driving record for new hampshire residents new hampshire residents will need to provide driving records for local 1707 cba hourly position and this is a new position we've never done this before so move second what kind of insurance is licensed do we need to have to be driving these students um two and four games and are they going to be driving them to the
049house so but by law they can drive we can have hire drivers for driving many buses to an event to the house program to athletic events but we cannot drive them home and we cannot pick them up but we can drive them to different events and the reason they have to submit their driver's license we have to make sure they have a clean driver's license without any uh record or any issues on their driver's license before the insurance company will cover them to do such uh activity so that's why they turn in their their license and we do research insurance company does research on it to make sure they have a clean record in order to take them home they need a different license they need a regular drive bus license in order to bring
050them home or pick them up so we can only transport them to an event just not just regular driver's license not a cdl license this will just be per any time that a that a person needs to be hired to take them to the uh to a track meet or to a basketball game and bring them home so it's just an hourly position when they're needed okay vivian then marilyn deal you had your hand up no okay oh i'm sorry no um do we do background checks on uh bus drivers yes we do bet we do background checks in terms of uh well if they're not uh employees of the school we would do uh a story and a quarry on anybody that's going to do that as well as the driving uh record uh
051research work if they were not an employee we would do a story and a quarry on those um on those individuals before we would hire them as we do anybody that works at the school here so technically that wouldn't be the case since it would be a it would be an employee of glts if it's a employee of glts already then we just do a drivers check a driver's license check to make sure they have no outstanding record on on file i just want to add this is a this is um you know kind of a like as superintendent lavoy said this is a measure because we know that there's a potential where our student athletes will not be able to get to games and we're looking for current employees that we would be looking
052to do this kind of as like an extra duty yes i mean i would say if we didn't get anyone at all apply internally that would be something that the athletic director and i would discuss prior to putting it out to we're not looking to put this out to someone who's not employed right now yes the question was brought up about driving them home i would hope we would continue with our whether it's a real policy or not of at no time does a coach or teacher drive a student home um this goes back to the 80s and 90s we don't want to go backwards so i would just want that included that i don't care if the coach stays here till midnight waiting for the kids ride to come but not driving them home
