001[Music] foreign [Music] okay we're recording all right Gene you want to call us to order on the little recorder okay yes this meeting called to order at five uh 331 331 we have a clock here that doesn't work uh so I'll call Roe Glenn Glenn are you there Glenn oh okay good Elizabeth here and I'm here all right so yes that this meeting is mostly your stuff to tell us okay so I will give you an update of what's happened since the last meeting we talked about option lovingly known as option 2B so we forgive me if you know this part but I'll I'll back up what we did is worked with Jake from transportation to realign the district so that each of our elementary schools would have one of the housing areas routed to
002it because we know there have been a lot of comments made about the fact that four corners is the the special school so each Elementary School will have one yes so Newton Greenfield Gardens will be districted to Newton and then Leiden Woods will be in the four corners District and then I'm just gonna sign and then oak courts will be routed to Federal some of this is the same but so Jake took basically our current enrollment and use those numbers as a draft of for the sake of programming you know doing bus routes the other thing that we talked about is we have to make the school committee will have to make some decision about this intra-district Choice thing that's out there amongst elementary schools for the past two years I have only allowed incoming
003kindergarteners who would still have a sibling at their School of Choice to go to a different school that's not their neighborhood School so if a student from federal wants to go to Four Corners they're only getting approval if their sibling will still be at Four Corners other than that everybody's being enrolled in their neighborhood School that has helped dramatically with enrollment numbers at Four Corners some of their classes were high primarily because they had so many students from intra-district Choice going so at some point the district will need to make a decision in my opinion about whether we stop intra-district cold just say as of I'll use next September because that's kind of what we're thinking September of 24 hard stop everybody in the district goes to their neighborhood School or do you let students
004who are already in a school of choice age out the benefit quite frankly of a hard stop is it allows us to accommodate K to five in each school and not have to rearrange schools for our special education programs if we do the students already there age out then for could be anywhere between one and four years we could have one child in a family be at one school and the other children be at their neighborhood School is there a way to sort of phase that I mean sorry not phase but is there a way to do a little bit of both like if you're a student saying you're in third grade like that you will let you age out because you're closer to the graduation do you know what I mean like if you're
005older like it seems like you could finish it or do you see what I'm trying to say oh yeah I understand age out and then if you're in second or third grade it's not as hard to have a hard stuff well so this is what we looked at is Four Corners particularly if we take this of course makes everything's complicated when you're trying to plan two years ahead if we take this year's kindergarten and move it up two years well last year's kindergarten and move it to Second grade for next year and so on and so on if we phase out Choice somewhat like you were talking about we would have to have three fourth grades at Four Corners and three fifth grades which would then mean we likely would have to move our special
006ed program to Newton and bring the Newton program to Four Corners which would disrupt our neediest kids so that's a lot having three fourth grades and like well yeah well it we have three of some classes now yeah that's what I'm asking because it's a lot in terms of what we're don't forget we're bringing fifth grade in so we're adding a whole other grade level and if we look at the classes we could accommodate three fourth grade so if we if we let choice just phase out let all the kids just sort of age out um not necessarily picking a particular grade level to cut it off but if we just leave it don't let any new kids in September of 24 we would need three third grades three fourth grades three fifth grades at
007Four Corners which means our Aces program would have to swap with the seeds program at Newton and it means likely that we would have to have um one of our special subjects on a cart like art or music might need to be on a cart for a year and then we could you know as the years go that would shift if we oh I'm sorry Gene how many of those children at Four Corners that have choiced in belong to teachers I don't know because my understanding is a lot of the children they are teachers children it's what I was told by a teacher I don't know I'd have to look at how many kids are are there and see which which then are students of choice in those in those buildings because I think it's
008not a right thing for teachers to be so opposed to us banding the schools when they want their children to go to Four Corners um who knows that that's really a thing I don't know I'm just throwing questions yeah yeah it's a good question um I haven't heard that but it's a good question so I um let me write the question I can look to find out my bet is the principles no who's connected to who um so the um so the question is if we so of interest if we just stop choice and then shift everybody around discovery would there are 12 11 using this year's numbers so this is all estimates but I just want to illustrate like the impact of choice on some of the buildings we would have 11 less students
009in third grade at Four Corners we would have seven less fourth graders and 11 less fifth graders so that's instead of three of each of those grade levels we'd have two of each of those grade levels um so it you know it has a big impact on the space allocation at Four Corners so that aside we can in each of the elementary schools accommodate a k to five we have enough space with the caveat of get the kids out that don't well it does have an impact at Discovery I think the challenge the biggest challenge to me is the impact that it could have on our special education program the aces program uses a lot of physical space because of all their needs and they are the most challenged students at the elementary so a
010transition to a new building might be difficult it might not you don't know until you try but that is a concern that has been raised the other thing I did survey the staff it was a you know brief survey asked them as well everybody had the opportunity to put a few comments in and then everybody had the opportunity to put their email in if they wanted to meet with me to talk more about any questions or concerns three people put their email addresses in one was by mistake one of them had a couple questions about the fifth grade format for the staff if they would still be banded like two classes for each teacher and then um one person said I'm happy to talk to you if you have anything you want to talk about
011but other than that I'm good so the only question that came from all the staff was about the fifth grade configuration so but 80 just under 85 percent of our staff wanted the option to be not option one I think a lot of the parents want an option to be awesome I buy based on what our forums remember about I think the biggest challenge for me with option one is the impact on Transportation you know that would have we'd have shifts in drop off and arrival time we potentially would need another bus so not just there is cost associated with on the front end um so the other the other things that we talked about are yes so we also believe that based on the shifts and the reduction in section in sections there could
012be a shift of up to six teachers so when we're cutting sections we might be we would be reducing staff however simultaneously to this change the Middle School needs to go to a full year of instruction for math I mean Forum oh geez we've been doing math yeah for social studies and science especially social studies the standards are there's a lot of work from the Department of Ed about the standards I think Karen talked about it the other night at school committee and we do not teach that for a full year at the middle school we don't do science or social studies so to accommodate them having a full year right now Michelle anticipates the need to increase for staff so that is one way that the teachers who potentially are displaced at the elementary
013could still be employed with some moving around of teachers so nobody would lose their I'm not gonna promise that but but it's important that we're kind of increasing the staff needs in one place while potentially reducing in another um we'd have to look at certifications but a lot of if not all elementary teachers are k-6 licensed so that leads me to feel somewhat confident that a job likely would be available if they want it some people don't you know they don't want to change their grade levels but the other thing that we need to look at is where was the other two oh we also are doing two things with the shift from fifth grade going back to the elementary school we need to look at how the elementary Special schedule will be configured Karen
014and Mike Browning are working on a draft of that the other thing we need to do is look at the impact of taking eighth grade out of the high school and the reason we need to look at that is because some of our high school staff teach some sections of eighth grade so we need to look at that impact so I will be doing that with Tammy silk at the high school DJ at the high school and then the middle school and high school principals and guidance folks will all be part of that conversation because we'll need to see you know like our just as an example our Spanish and French teachers each teach a section of eighth grade language okay so if we take that out what do we do do they split buildings
015do we just have the opportunity to offer foreign language electives like how do we do that we'd also need to talk about algebra for the eighth grade there are students who teach who take algebra in their eighth grade as opposed to like a math eight so we need to look at how we schedule the Middle School to accommodate our students who can take algebra in eighth grade so we're gonna run those um we've just rolled over the year from last year to this upcoming year in PowerSchool so we have the high school schedule for school year 23 24 that lives so our plan is to sort of make a copy of that take out eighth grade and then look at what what we have how many sections are free and what we can do with
016them so we also would need to look at our counseling staff do we need to redistribute them we already have two counselors that are paid out of the grant so we need to look at those both pieces the Grant's going to be gone do we need the staff do we not need the staff you know we need to look at the if you lose eighth grade at the high school how many fewer kids on counseling need to be supported there but how many did we just add to the elementaries but we are at a point that Transportation looks good for option 2B we put the caveat on things can change but right now based on what Jake has run and he has the software that kazmaskis has that looks good we also literally took the
017maps of every school and put grade grades and all everything else intervention our English language Learners special education programs counselors nurses everybody got a spot on the maps so right now with the one little piece about um Four Corners with the special ed depending on choice everybody has a space and the bonus is we even get to move the nurse out of the weird space she's in at Four Corners into a room she's on a in a space on a landing so she would actually even get to move into a room which is great it was very good very important so you know we're we're looking at the Staffing but I think the biggest piece the first big hurdle is people can fit which is good it it is yeah but we don't want to
018miss like there's still I still don't want to rush I I want for you folks to be able to sort of have a final like October would be great to have a final final decision about what we want to do um but I also have had a few conversations with people who were around when things shifted who kind of said it went so fast that this was this was missed this was missed this was missed so I know it probably feels slow but I'd rather take the time to sit and do all of this and go through the schedules and plot and plan and then review it again with some of the teachers at both levels all right what are we missing think about any logistical issues like do we need to move lab tables
019from the high school to middle school I don't know maybe we do maybe we don't but I'd like to have those conversations um I just want to see if there's any other notes the timeline not this coming year but the following year if we were to decide does that give you enough time I think so I think yeah I think it will because the bus runs are are started the schedules will actually be started some of the big things that would give me a lot of stress around this process would be greatly underway so I think that would be really good I would like to depending what you folks think today one of the steps I need to take is to sit with the Union presidents again I did that as the first first step
020when we first started these conversations but to do it again and talk about okay this is what this would mean for Staffing how would you want to go about this that's a question that comes up a lot like okay with the eighth grade teachers have to go to the middle school with the it's like well we'd have to come to some agreement with the Union but you know there would be a process worked out I think the biggest thing Elizabeth would be packing because you sound really optimistic I still yeah you know why I feel good because we're being given the time to really be planful about this if you said to me you know now you have to do it for September but I every step that we take every check box that we
021go through the more and more I'm feeling good about how this would look um well should we talk at school committee next next month about the fact that uh children will not be allowed to choice and see what the reaction is so that we've got time to hear all of that is there a survey we could send out to the people who are choiced we can but I guess Mike we're not ready yet I don't think my bet is they won't want to and is that I think we're weighing sort of the conversation about the students who are still going to be in a school of choice intra District versus the impact on two classes of our special education so I guess I know I don't expect anybody to want to but is it I
022don't want to so much that I will leave GPS or I don't want to and I will Grumble and be upset but I will go I mean I don't know it's I think that if your complaint is changing schools and you're going to leave the school system to change schools that doesn't make sense it doesn't mean that people don't do that well I know but that is true but um I I will be curious what impact the reconfiguration of the city has on people's thoughts you know we're going to be making each Elementary School pretty reflective of the community as a whole and I also think at some point we will have there were um there was at least one comment in the staff survey I don't know who um made reference to the fact
023that maybe we should just rename all the elementary schools when we do this because of concern that in the public Four Corners will still be considered something that it is not which is an innovation school it's not an innovation it's not a bad idea it's just I I whether you folks rename them or not I appreciate the concerns that the community perspective is still going to be that four corners is the Discovery School and it's it is doing exactly the same in terms of curriculum instruction and programming as every other Elementary School in the district it just sounds fancier too it's just well but again I I'm happy to look into when it became a discovery school if that's in connection with the Innovation Grant that we don't have anymore you know what what do
024we do there and I don't I don't know it's a it was a question that was a good question but if we rename all three schools then taking away the discovery name for Four Corners doesn't matter oh no it's an interesting question though somebody brought up it's worth a thought any other problems within the other school s so the problem is they're just going to call I I just um yeah I mean you folks can do whatever I think we have a I'm fairly sure there's a policy on naming facilities but um I think the concern raised is nothing different than what's been talked about before that there is a perception um about one of the schools and there I mean there's perceptions about all of them um so the positive to the negative and
025you know will will this reconfiguration of things impact that perception at all it's an interesting point um I know Glenn do you have any I can't see your face do you have any thoughts or questions about any of this I I don't know I really appreciate what you're bringing to us I know important in a good direction so I have another question 8th grade yes out of the high school what will you do with the extra swing that is created because they're gone well uh I want to give people something to look forward to that's what I'm asking you yes um so some things that were talked about with the NASDAQ studies that it gives us opportunity to do some electives the the challenge we have is and maybe that comes to be with um
026staff who now have sections available because eighth grade isn't there I need to see that before we start identifying if we have I'm again I'm just giving examples if we have four teachers who only then have one block free that doesn't really do anything in terms of Staffing we need to find something for those people to do um it could give us opportunity to do you know um split up some classes like if our science classes are doing experiments in one room maybe they have the opportunity to have a classroom space in another we might be able to reconfigure some of our special education programs so we'd have to really you know take a spin and see what that does to the layout of the building I'm not positive but that's a good question and
027maybe at some point whether it's next year or after that maybe the district will be in a position to add some people back at the high school we've talked me Karen Derek the aps at the high school have met with Michelle shot from GCC and some of her people to talk about expanding the opportunities for our kids to do some like um it's not called the progression I can't think of the name but basically take some courses that would put them in a good spot to get into one of the technical programs at GCC we can't duplicate a vocational program because that's in our agreement with Franklin County Tech we can't reproduce what they offer but if we were to be able to potentially at some point maybe add a staff person or reconfigure or
028reschedule people we might be able to add some courses that help them be better prepped to move in to some of those programs um sounds like having more space is not a bad thing it I don't think ultimately it will be a bad thing I think maybe for the first year things may look a little naked but um but maybe you know I think I think it presents opportunity in the future once we start looking really at what do we want to do with these GCC programs and you know programs of study that would help kids prep into you know getting into that so there's a lot of opportunity there right now part of the challenge is the eighth grade has sort of squeezed out of its wing and they're interspersed with the building at
029times I don't think that was I don't understand that that's how it was designed I thought it was they were supposed to be sort of a self-contained Wing they've kind of squeezed out of the wings so um and that's not working out the eighth grade is clearly at a different developmental level than the rest of the high school which makes for some lumpy days yes um so I don't have statistics in front of me but the general um subjective report is that the eighth grade is where we have the most struggles with student Behavior I'm sure no one's surprised so it could be could give us some opportunity yeah and the student behavior of the eighth grade if we move them back into the middle school will that is it being with the older kids
030that creates it or the show-off factors not sure if they're just well I mean I mean I'm in this right now so yeah yeah it's um I think I think there's a lot more freedom in a high school environment than there is in a middle school environment and I think that that's challenging for students who may be on maturity at the level to have all that freedom you know Michelle has a great structure upstairs where each grade level has a wing so obviously if fifth grade's at the elementary eighth grade would go in their wings so they'd be sort of contained and it just allows for different levels of supervision it's less travel in the building it's a little more help than what they would naturally get in high school you know it's just hard
031it's a big building and there's a lot of space for them to be in so do you think conversely the behavior of the fifth grade if that moves into the elementary school is that sort of is that the opposite of the same coin with the eighth grade I think in terms of maturity it is but I think you would be extremely pleasantly surprised to see the variation in the behavior upstairs this year to well the year that just ended compared to the prior but from a maturity standpoint I still think it's it's yeah same same type of theory feeling negative is we do not see we did have the request for the fifth grade team so that we have teams of fifth grade teachers so it's two teachers one does English in history the other
032one does science and math and we we don't believe that we can maintain that structure given the instructional time in the course of the elementary day it doesn't look like that is something we'll be able to replicate but we're looking I'm just not sure that that's gonna be the case don't love it does so much work so much so I don't know if there's any other questions or issues or things you want me to look at as we go have you gotten any if you have any reason to or have you gone any deeper into the what do we do at the Green River School has anything else come to light with that um I have yeah I have to do all the paperwork to officially close it I think I mentioned that had never
033been done and then um I had reached out to the mayor to see if we could have a preliminary just an informal conversation about like what are we thinking might happen here because when I do the paperwork to close Green River part of what I need to do is give them some idea on what it could get used for because one of the biggest pieces is that some money is going to have to get paid back from the roof and dorm loan it was just over a million dollars I don't I mean the info's on my desk but rounding it's about a million dollars and there's language in there that's a little um fuzzy that gives me the thought that they might be willing to do some sort of exceptions around what gets paid back
034but basically what they said to me when I asked that hey I see this sentence does this mean we can skip this whole paying back thing they did not jump on that as a yes what they said is do all the paperwork let us know what the plan is and then we'll talk to you the the challenge is when they talk about paying back what they said is they prorate it from the time that the final audit is done which was I think our loan was signed for in 2015 the audit was done in 2019. so from the final audit until the year that you close the building they look at that time frame and prorate what you have to pay back I don't think we had a year from the time the final audit
035was done until we didn't have students in the building anymore so we don't get prorated does not appear we get prorated so I need to go through the paperwork but I basically have to recreate the entire history of Green River from then until today in the paperwork so it's a project with the school no longer needs or wants to keep Green River I mean so this is a mayoral Council kind of decision versus a school kind of decision I think the I think we've really boiled down to the fact that we don't meet it based on our enrollment Trends we don't need it to do this redistricting format there are things like people talk about could we make it a you know like a therapeutic school well theoretically we could but we'd have to spend
036a million plus dollars to do the heating system we'd have to do all the other repairs and then there's the entire process of getting it approved by the state to be a special ed program I can't just open it and declare it such and we'd have to staff it and that is a high level of Staffing so I I love to be able to do something like that I don't know if if Greenfield schools has the ability to have the money to do that sort of program in the near future probably work on some of the earmark fund the heart and soul is in keeping Green River like if we really want to divest ourselves of it would it be worthwhile to bring forward emotion at the big meeting and see if we want to
037agree that we're done with it and then it done with it then become the auspice of the city council and the mayor to figure things and would that would that relieve some sort of eye responsibility I would like to do a little bit more research on how to do that um I'm I don't know I mean we may think so but I don't know if um the city Side would think that that is sufficient to process and procedure um well after going um from planning and construction going on tours of the city buildings there is more office space needed so it's worth a conversation um what the state would do in letting us keep using it for Greenfield versus right turning it into housing or something that's a good idea yeah so I'd have to
038see I don't know what conditions would satisfy the math School building authority around pay back not pay back whatever so that those are pieces that I want to find out but I would like to hear something from the city so I can at least report that when I do all the paperwork like these are the ideas being talked about if they're even that far you know I don't know how far into thinking about another use the city is well I think planning instruction is trying to find someone who can do a study like the NASDAQ study about the setting about the city buildings and what's needed and so at that point they could go and look at of course and at our next meeting Carol was supposed to have done the research oh great job
039okay if there is such a person that can do that group or whatever yeah and then we need to go to the city council and get approval and all that stuff and get the mayor to buy you know well certainly Carol has seen Green River since I've been here she's been in yeah the challenge we have from the school department side is we have a lot of storage at Green River yeah we can't keep it as a storage no no no that's quite the quite the investment for storage buy a shed or something I don't know but um it's just a thing we have to sort of think about we have to make some decisions about what to do with our stuff over there but but that so that's where that kind of is it
040sounds like you've cracked the egg on that and at least we now know what to look forward to yes the I need a stretch of unscheduled time to get into the process of doing the closing of the school I don't know if we can divest ourselves of it until it is officially closed but at least we know that I know we didn't even know that there you go so we're moving we're moving moving along but that is my goal my hope is to get that done before the end of the summer get that paperwork submitted because goal and but that's the plan so so at the August and September meetings we'll keep talking about we're working on it and in the end what do you want like what kind of report would be helpful for
041the August meeting in regards to Green River no in regards to the district yeah what if anything do you want to imagine isn't it sorry yes I call it redistricting it here but we've got so much good information you could you've got a lot I feel like we went from here it's like here now we know so I mean we definitely have the stats about the staff survey I have that for sure that you know that can be shared if you focused that shared um I can share that we've looked at the but I think I mean depending Gene you're right if you want to talk about the choice the intra District choice piece it comes simultaneously and we're so grateful to have our policy subcommittee chair in attendance Glenn you're with me yeah um
042you know one of the things as we get into the section where it talks about um enrollment my suggestion um was going to be to remove the language about intra-district choice anyway so maybe this is the time to sort of talk about that and then wrap it into a policy update I don't know what you think about that Glenn yeah we need to try to reschedule something before the about this meeting weekend or if you can't wait until September I so we could do it two ways I think um we could either have the conversation at school committee with all of you about this is the impact on this and then what do we want to do which I would think then could get referred to policy or we could try to do a policy
043meeting make the recommendation we take it out and then that goes to the full school committee I think either you know either way but well maybe then I think is they're going to have to vote for it in the end anyway so why don't we bring it there first and then bring it to policy all right so just wrap it into the reimagining conversation sure yeah no direct us to revise the policy as part of whatever one of the Motions that happens at the end okay we can we can do that in August that's okay and um I I realize um it's a and I'll find that policy Glenn and send it to you just so you have it great okay um I think it's going to be a challenging conversation either way about it
044but I mean it's it's going to be a bombshell that we have to drop at some point and then deal with the results we always knew that we were not going to be able to make decisions that would make everyone happy like we knew that this would be hard and that there would be parts that would be awful and parts that would be great but it seems like you've done so much work on 2B and I mean maybe it's time to say in the committee like let's make a decision so that you can go forward in your most planful way as take as much like turtleing time as you want to make it perfect I just I don't want to rush you and then be like oh we just changed our mind and we wanted
045a different thing and it's a whole nother thing if you folks as a committee could talk about the choice piece that would be really helpful because then correct introdistrict choice because then we can very clearly say this is what the room distribution would look like this is what movement the biggest um of anyone who wanted option to be of the comments that were listed there weren't that many there were about 140 responses and only about 35 comments most of them in support well most of them against option one some four option one but of the ones that had concerns the moving of special education programs was the biggest concern probably listed five times as a as a comment so I think if we can say to people special ed programs are not moving this is
046the room distribution then I would also be able to have more specific information for our unions to talk about the impact there um I think that piece would let us go forward pretty and then my hope no the deal we will have the schedules done definitely by the September meeting we're hoping for August but me doing a high school a mock high school schedule is contingent on a number of other people who are trying to get the school year started so I don't want to promise August but um September we'll have so I think I hope that by September you folks probably would have all the information we need for you to make a decision so so to to summarize it then in August we'll talk about the staff survey yeah I don't present all
047of your stuff from that yes and then we'll talk about that in all cases we need a policy on uh inter-district choice so it would be in removing a line that allows it moving the language and that we need to send that to the policy committee to come back in September with the policy then the explosion can happen Maybe I think the you know cases with either you can reassure everyone that the special education programs are not moving so that was correct I call them that explosion down will the you know we don't need inter-district choice if we do the banding of the schools so we're only doing this for those that don't want the banding of the schools we have to have a policy of that choice is how I would present it in
048in going forward what I understood I could be totally wrong is that the option of intra-district choice was introduced when Four Corners was made a discovery school which would allow people from the other buildings to go there from an instructional standpoint the programs at Four Corners are identical to the programs at the other buildings so don't know what the benefit is to choicing into a different school I think I mean maybe not in Greenfield but like lots of parents have to use introduce your choice because maybe they work closer to the school that you know they don't want to drive across town they have to pick up their kids so they introduce their choice for that reason or like in my case I entered District choice because the school that I was set we were
049set to go to was an ESL school and that's not what we needed at the time yeah we needed this this other school across the road that had different things so it like worked out but everything is so close here I don't see it being a problem I think in huge places yeah I was dealing with like a 10 mile difference that made that made sense but here when it's only two miles to between each or less well to me here perception that four corners was the right fancy stamp any of these other children there which is which is what we're trying to solve right we want all schools to be exactly like every other school do you want to have any consideration and it's it's fine if you don't you just brought up a
050question earlier that made me ask made me think about this do you want to allow any exception for the children of teachers or staff well the teacher that I was talking to that brought up this conversation said the teachers are in one place and their children or somewhere else that that's how eagerly teachers wanted their children into four corners that it was the Four Corners thing I and and I see nobody if if I'm the teacher it's how many miles to the I think you just said too it's like 1.5 between one and the other I see no reason that they can't send their children to the exact same kind of school oh I'm I just wanted to ask the question and we still have free before school programming at all three elementary schools so
051we don't have after school Parks and Rec runs the after school yes but Greenfield Public Schools pays for before school programming so for the families for our staff who has children who might be in a different place they certainly can have them signed up for before school program so so that takes care of that age that seems like a nice benefit to offer why don't I get the numbers because I'm curious and I understand your point Glenn and I understand yours like it's sort of it's such a small spot that they're not really that far away but if it's that much more convenient I'm actually curious how many were even talking about yeah the numbers are interesting yeah yeah so I'll I'll get those numbers and see if we're talking you know six kids if
052given the fact that I've stopped doing all requests for inter-district I will tell you the first year I had some people who were displeased and then this year there were there were a few requests incoming kindergartners and we just responded if they had a sibling yes if they didn't know and we offered a tour of the new building for one parent who's who wouldn't even have had a sibling in the building but experience was in another building and I said we'll get you in touch with the principal they can give you a tour you can talk to them about your child's needs and experiences and they seemed to be pleased with that option to at least show them the building ahead of time so there's been very little um comment about the changing of how
053I do inter-district choice so all right what if um Glenn I'll get the numbers of inter-district choice people children who belong to our staff and whether they're with the teacher now or at another school yes I think they're at another school then that takes it off the table yeah I'll find out um the best I can do I'll find out what what we're looking at in that regard and then August school committee staff survey Choice policy and then we're striving for a the ability for you folks to make a decision in September sounds good to me are you so sometime between August and September I will meet with the unions after there's a choice decision okay good you're welcome nothing else Glenn you're good we're good okay so we need a motion to adjourn so
054moved so moved yep second all right all in favor okay 422 I'll uh type these up oh shoot we're supposed to vote on minutes bye Glenn [Music]
