002Desiring to address the board here all right and um and there's nothing in the board chair report other than um I went to the basketball games on Friday night and uh both games were good but that girl's game the ending was yeah over time and uh but I did see a referee get tossed because he couldn't get the jump ball straight up in time he didn't get tossed from the game but they put someone else to do the to the J ball and the boys played with it I mean it was mes salonsky was just shooting lights out it was crazy all right so that's all that I have for board report um Personnel uh no resignations to announce no transfers to announce announce but there is one nomination uh those of you that were
003familiar uh we did lose our district accountant a few weeks ago uh and so I would like to nominate Kristen uh Chris Franklin to be our Director of Finance just so you know we're renaming the position but the responsibilities will stay exactly the same uh we're renaming the position simply because all of our individuals in those types of positions are director of such and such uh and so to be consistent across the board uh I'm nominating uh Kristen Franklin to be the Director of Finance she has over 20 years uh experience in financial and human resources in public schools and nonprofit organizations she has her certified public accounting certification in the state of New Hampshire she has a master of Business Administration and a MERS of Science and finance from Southern uh New Hampshire University
004I nominating Kristen for a salary of 93,9 72 all right we have a motion and a second on the floor any discussion all in favor and that's unanimous and Chris is not here tonight but she is due to start on Monday uh and ready to go and hit the ground running uh the next thing is not for an approval but just for your information the uh list of spring coaches for rebrook Wagner and hon Academy are in your packets uh remember 3 four years ago we moved away from the board approving coaches uh and so this is given to you for your information in case someone in the grocery store asks you who the coach is or you can uh put a name to a sporting a sporting event can I ask a question do
005you generally have that many open ones uh yeah it varies by the year sometimes you might have them completely full and others you might get your uh coach the last week of the Season or last week before the season so it varies uh it's never really consistent all right let's go right back to un Nick with the superintendent report uh so the reading of our essential behaviors is Shelly this month education enables all students to learn the skills acquire the knowledge and develop the attitudes necessary for them to reach their potential as citizens who can meet the challenges of a changing Global Society we believe that all citizens in our community share the responsibility to educate our children and themselves our schools are our community support systems and should welcome and encourage all members of
006our communities to participate and our schools will have a supportive and empowering atmosphere for all students and community members thank you and I would like to invite Mrs Seer principal of weatherbe school to do our monthly presentation hi how are [Music] you jeez okay so technology right off the bat is going very very smoothly so um I may just turn the volume off but uh good evening everyone it's so nice to be with you and you know I'm mindful of about a year ago I came to you and we were really exploring the possibility of expanding weatherbe to include great too and I'm incredibly proud of the school Community uh that we have grown into um I talk about the 100 pounds that I I gained uh because it feels like that everything uh really
007had to be to retooled in many ways because things that work so smoothly for three through five we have to really rethink about how that fit two through five and the growth that we've shown has been really tremendous one of the things that we recognized right from the GetGo was not only did we have more students we had a new staff and so there were two issues of climate that we really wanted to address and I'm pleased that we were able to have an incredible curriculum through character to really help us lean into how do we create a positive nurturing community that aligns with the statement that you just made where everyone is empowered and that had to include the students and adults and so uh the curriculum that we use uh is is entitled
008character strong but it's all about being purposeful people the full people think that there's a spelling mistake and I love this but they're full of the traits that you see before you and there are three overarching themes be kind be strong be well I say this because we had to really look at what was something that was unifying between our staff two through five and character strong was that for us as we entered the first year of our PBIS c-o we were looking at ret toing our Behavior Matrix so it was developmentally appropriate for second graders as well as our fifth and we looked and said hey we don't have a a lot of time to get this together you know three days before school starts but when we begin in the fall of 2025
009we're going to unite under these categories and we're going to use the existing uh Behavior rubric but we're going to really start practicing and being intentional about what we expect respect of ourselves as adults to model what being a great citizen what being a great Bobcat is but also what we want our students to exemplify and that has been incredibly rewarding work and so you'll see behind there are three habits respect empathy cooperation under be strong responsibility perseverance encourage and lastly be well gratitude honesty and creativity these habits we celebrate each and every month and we are moving beyond uh from what we had with our weather be Paws and the regra paws and we really looked at our data and so as you know uh through PBIS we have to do a survey for
010students staff and families all of those stakeholders give us really important feedback and when we assessed that at this spring of last year we recognized that while we had very very strong scores All Above National Norms students said that their ability to be recognized for doing good things wasn't as strong a score as we had hoped so we said whoa wait a minute we thought we were doing a great job stickering them like hey you get a paw you get a paw but we really thought okay we need to be more intentional and we want to Target this and so I want to show you some of the work that we've been doing uh under purposeful people and the habits of each month going to give you a little little music here to just this
011up um and so hopefully it's moving each day on announcements and when I end I say be kind be strong be well and be great cats today we kicked off our year with a kindness kickoff acting with understanding and generosity we had to figure out how to do this so students get their um the the thing I love about their Sur certificates one it's done for us they're beautiful the kids are proud and it allows the staff members to present so Ashton back in the day definitely would have gotten a respect award but the great thing about this is that I as the principal I'm not presenting those the staff members are and so what we've seen is our engagement from staff looking for positive behavior is incredibly powerful we've had we have an assembly
012tomorrow but these are all of the student students that have won or been honored for demonstrating great Behavior I love their faces I'm incredibly proud and we have a wall of fame at school as well and so we have we're running out of bulletin board space and so we've got we've given out over 180 uh Awards this year which is really incredible what I'm very proud of is our population has increased last year we had 267 students we have 384 last last year I saw the highest Behavior referrals I'd seen in a long time they've gone down and that's not what I would have expected but I think this really speaks to the power of common language a common focus and I love the book Atomic habits a subtle shift with intention can give really
013high yield and we're seeing that now there's lots of work for us to do we're still in the cohort and we are still uh learning great tier one strategies and so we've got great curriculum going on with our school counselor teaching every student in the building about these habits our staff is bolstering that by celebrating intentionally in our all School shares which happen again monthly Austy is tomorrow um and so it it's just given us a really great way to build climate additionally when we think about our strategic plan this is not only about Student Success but we've been able to fold in professional Excellence because when the kids get honored so do our leaders Among Us Awards and kids go nuts when they find their teacher celebrated for leaders Among Us that has um
014that's a really important thing because as you all know this is hard work and I want to say thank you to you that gratitude and honoring for the time you spend is important we do hard work and a simple thank you a round of applause from the students that you work so hard are to serve um it's a superpower right and um that has been something that I think has really helped us celebrate one another and recognize the Excellence in our team and really um supporting a strong climate so that's just a little bit about the work that we're doing we're on our journey and as always uh there's more work to do but we are very excited uh about the work that we have started and and look to continue you have any questions
015good kidding kiding no um it it's been a great start and I'm I'm so pleased to share all of those students uh and the great work they're doing um and look forward to seeing future success so thank you for the opportunity for us to share our Learning Community with you thank you all right in this month's report you noted a thank you for uh for Ed Foundation volunteers we had Maryann Royal if you don't know Maryann she's a former board member we didn't let her Escape Public Service when she left the school board because she became essential to the rsu22 Education Foundation uh I was the secretary she is meticulous she has a great detail oriented brain and she really got us up and running there's a lot of red tape when you run a
016r when you run a nonprofit and we had been stagnant because of Co and other layers Peter wit who's the other person that I want to publicly thank you uh thank kept us alive during Co he really assumed all of the positions that needed to be required uh according to our own policies and procedures in the rsu22 Education Foundation and both of them um have done their time and now that we are propped up and running smoothly again they are going to exit and I wanted to publicly thank them for their efforts next month we are inviting president Angela Ellingwood she's fantastic if you have not met her yet you'll meet her next month and she has taken it upon herself to become certified uh Shelley knows because she was on the Ed Foundation at
017the time as a uh Ed Foundation leader so it's additional learning for her but it has really served the foundation well and you're going to be very impressed with her presentation next month the department of education has shared a priority notice they are looking for input regarding teacher shortage areas we got this notification this Tuesday and we've been giving our feedback before they asked because I'm happy to share that as of this draft that they're selecting feedback asking for feedback on teacher of students with disabilities is back on now you've heard me say how frustrating that has been that that has not been on the teacher shortage list this year and so I'm excited that it will be because hopefully it will give additional support and Pathways for us to hire uh special Educators special
018education teachers and finally Esports at Wagner I want to thank Nate Mrs Pratt and especially Tom Leonard at our last meeting we forwarded Esports send positions for rebrook and the question came up and it was a good question about the uh is the E Sports at Wagner and Nate explained the circumstances and the effort that had been made at the time and um is there anything else that you want to add because it is back and all the materials are down there now and they're ready to roll thanks to our special educator Tom Leonard who's volunteering yes to finish up this school year he's I want to say new to us but he's been in ru22 before he's back from Bangalore and we're thankful that he's stepping up to do this that was the only
019thing I was going to add was the volunteer piece uh until next year when the stiping kicks in so grateful for him for stepping up and taking that on and building the program down there at the Wagner school and thank you for taking that initiative good job guys and everything else is in my written report I not I hope that you took note of Zu O'Brien being the keynote speaker this year for a national board uh Jennifer and Nick and I attended that evening she did a fantastic job of course and we can brag that rsu22 even though we're not the biggest District in the state does have the highest number of nationally board certified teachers pretty impressive on their part that they invest in that way that concludes thank you generally in the past
020we have recognized those teachers who have gotten their continuation and new will we be doing that again yes we all we always offer it and put it on the agenda and if they are so inclined to join us to be honored then they do not everyone comes um and not everyone came that night to the evening event to get the pinning sometimes the the journey and the reward is you know the practice the improved lifelong learning next on our agenda is our monthly financial report uh in your packet you will find uh all the Articles listed nothing really uh stands out with the exception of article 10 which is Debt Service just as a reminder uh the bulk of that money comes out right around the November December time frame so that is realistic uh
021there is no alarm uh to be uh sounded at this point that is typical uh the remainder of that will come out around the May time frame it's a much smaller piece of uh money coming out but the bulk of that does come out in um the november-ish time frame the rest of it is all um pretty self-explanatory and right around the mark that we would hope it to be at this point and then Ashton you are the only student rep here today so turn it over to you so we previously talked about this but of course uh the girls basketball team will be compet competing in the class a state championship game on Friday evening and I'd also like to mention that our track and field athletes will be competing at the New England
022indoor track championships this Saturday uh previous sports news include our boys basketball team as we talked about previously finishing the season as the class A North runner up and both the boys and girls indoor track team won the Eastern main Conference Championship and as well our cheer team won the class A North sportsmanship award uh other news includes the handon Academy student council is hosting winter semi- formal this Saturday um this might have been mentioned previously in the last meeting I'm not sure but hon Academy was awarded the AP Computer Science uh female diversity award by the college board uh at our school earlier this month we hosted military day in which recruiters from all branches of the military showed up in the dining Commons to have an opportunity to interact with students interested in
023joining our armed forces and finally earlier this month the Hampton Academy drama Club hosted a talent show which was very successful that's all I have all right thank you Ashton um now questions of board m numbers all right and committee reports were included in the packet including education policy and UTC um pieces uh any questions for board chairs committee chairs it's not a question but it is a comment regarding the United Technologies Center exhibit that was put in our packet um it was rather impressive and I I was really pleased to know a little bit more about what's happening at UTC so great things are happening and and I just really enjoyed reading that part yeah I'll agree I it was good to see the uh Capital uh the infusion of capital that they're getting
024at the UTC because it it was a it's an old building drum roll please Fay policies the first policy that we're looking at this evening is policy B board member compensation and expenses uh this had not been reviewed since 1998 um and so as a committee we discussed the amount of compensation and felt that it was appropriate with everything that's happened since 1998 with inflation we decided on $35 which is up from $25 um but we are open to other suggestions when it's time for comments but at this point the policy committee moves to approve for first reading policy B board member compensation and expenses as presented second all right we have a motion and discussion on first reading a policy bid is there any discussion I do have a question when I first it
025on the board I asked about not accepting this St because I don't really need it and I was told we have to take it it is in law believe it or not um it can go down to $5 if you wanted it to um each board makes that decision as far as the the price uh so we started with 25 all that time ago so I wish I had a better answer for you than that well you just mentioned the UTC a minute ago we can decline to accept our statement up there so when I if I was in the same boote I had the same question so I just pick a cause within the district and delate it back periodically right what I pointed Rick told me at the back then Rick Lions was
026superintendent and he said you can always donate what you get back and I said yeah but they take taxes out you don't get the whole back all right any other discussion I will look at that further though Alan and by the second reading I should have more information for you regarding the statement right so all those in favor of first reading of policy B board member compensation and expenses and that looks like it was unanimous the next several policies are under technology and so we were lucky to have Nate come to our meeting uh he gave us a lot of good insight and a lot of good direction so uh at this point the first one that we're looking at is policy I jnd DC acceptable internet use uh this was from 2002 um it
027was renamed it it will be renamed to reflect the intent of the policy uh new laws have passed since then so that's why it's being updated again at this time the policy committee moves to approve for first reading policy i j n DC EX acceptable internet use which will be renamed to policy i j n DC school system website web pages as presented all right so we have a motion and a second on policy J NC and V since I don't have the full title in front of me I'm not going to repeat that um any discussion can I just repeat it for the minute school system website and web pages slash the new name is what you're asking for um it will be renamed to school system website web pages thank you and just
028so that you know there is a law is not in place yet uh and depending on the size of your schools and communities uh it'll go into effect over a period of time uh I think we have three years to put it together if I remember correctly uh in that our all our web pages and websites need to be Ada compatible and at this point in time they're not and so I know that uh Nate shared that they are working on that and trying to find a new platform to make that transition a little bit easier for us he you may not know this Nate might I'm assuming this has to do with the title to Ada um um not accommodations but accessibility in compliance with web pages same so on policy jmdc school system
029website and web pages um all those in favor and that's unanimous the next section is in deletions um a lot of the these overlapped with one another and are covered in other ones so uh we have decided to recommend deletions again I mentioned to you that because it is a deletion it only needs the first reading the first one is policy i j n d RSU number 22 website uh this policy is now covered under I jnd DC policy committee moves to delete policy i j n d RSU number 22 website second all right we have a motion in a second on polic uh first reading and deletion of policy i j n d is there any discussion yes hey given that these are all in the same um technology category I would propose a
030friendly amendment that we take this one and the following two deletions as a slate so that process we've already had the motion in a second so the amendment I amended we would need a second and then that would get voted on and if that's approved then we could take this entire slate all right any discussion on the amendment all right this is for the amendment to take the three technology um policies up for deletion as a slate all those in favor and that's unanimous at some point do we ever say what the other two policies are so that it's in the minutes at this point yes okay so now's the time to do that all right so we are now voting on a slate right or we just did but it's policy i j n
031d RSU number 22 website the next one is policy I which is software and the last one is i j n dc-2 uh school system website SL web page all right we have a motion and second on the floor on the Slate any discussion fa for the I I and IG NDC 2 are those also incorporated into the new policy I IG NDC the the software one is outdated it was from 1988 and so that one just didn't make any sense and then the last one which is i j nc-2 is now in NDC thank you any more discussion all right so we are going to vote on the Slate of deleting policy J and D policy I and policy i j and dc2 all those in favor and that's unanimous as a committee we
032did uh review policy I AJ and we decided that we would leave it as is with a few formatting changes but the date of the meeting where we reviewed it will be added to the policy itself and so it'll look like we did at least review it so there's no need to vote on this one just wanted you to be aware uh we now move on to Second reading which is i g AE bloodborne pathogen exposure no changes were made since the first reading therefore the policy committee moves to approve for second reading policy IG G AE bloodborne pathogen exposure as presented second we have a motion and second on the floor for policy jja AE bloodborne pathogen exposure any discussion all right regarding second reading of policy jja AE bloodb pathogen exposure all those
033in favor and that's unanimous thank you all right there's no old business on the agenda so we will move to new business um before you get started Nick um we are going to um um listen to all the presentations on the field trips and after that's done we can make a decision whether to vote on them individually or as a slate so we will go right in order and we will start with um the Middle School Wagner uh does have a trip uh Mrs Pratt did you want to talk about the trip that they were taking or do you need information do you have it with you the information I don't have it with me but I I can speak to it why don't you speak to it and then I'll have it up on
034my computer if there's anything else that comes up okay um the plan is which they have not gone ahead and and really put it up the students yet because they're waiting for an approval but um they plan on taking the eighth grade to Boston um they are uh not taking like a a sear bus like a big bus they're just taking a regular um they've made arrangements to take a a regular bus that's kind of saving them on their cost um they're going to the plan is to go to the museum the science museum um aquarium uh so whatever you know uh whatever they I don't have their whole itinerary as of yet I think it was written on that paper but um they've done a lot of fundraising had a lot of kids participating
035in fundraising and family and um uh if you're by win port and have a bag of recyclables we have the permanent recyclable B been um in the parking lot out there and that's um they've done really well with that so they work very hard and um and are in hopes to be able to take um these eighth graders to Boston one question that's usually asked of these trips what is the cost to the district for this nothing it wasn't a trick question I it's usually asked that's why I wanted to bring that up uh the next one will be student um what happens if a student did you hear her sorry what happens if a student can't afford the $111 that it costs on the trip their their fundraising covers any of that they they
036have they make sure that they have and and they're currently on track to have access oh okay and um they can sponsor students everybody will go that wants to go the next one on our list is the Key Club so I will ask our Key Club adviser to come up please and I don't think everyone knows you so if you wouldn't mind introducing yourself first absolutely that's part of my plan so good evening everyone my name is Terry jenin sugs I am an English teacher here at ha and I'm also the adviser for the Key Club so I'm here tonight because I would like i' like to request permission to take three members of our Key Club to the New England District educational conference to be held in Portland Maine on April 4th 5th and
0376th this conference is a great opportunity to interact with key clubbers from the New England area our students will attend workshops on leadership development volunteerism and community service and will also participate in a districtwide service project having attended Deon for the last three years I can test to what a rewarding and motivating experience it is for all involved registration fees for this conference will be $335 per student the registration fee covers two nights accommodation at the Holiday In by the bay in Portland where the conference will be held it includes three Mills and it also includes conference souvenirs so that's important too uh we estimate that a third of this cost will be covered by funds in the Key Club account that a third of the fund will be covered from an anticipated donation from
038the hen Kanas club and then each student will be responsible for that final third approximately $112 transportation to the conference will be in a district van I believe that this conference is a great opportunity for our students to gain a deeper understanding of the impact that Key Club can have on our school and our local community I hope that you will approve this request and I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have thank you any questions for the Key Club trip okay thank you and the last trip is our JCL trip and I think most people know you but just please ad do do yourself again as well hi hi everyone I'm Ben Johnson I'm the LA teacher here at handen Academy it's nice to see you all again um hello Ashton how
039are you good um so I'm here to um uh ask her permission for something that's brand new for us you know we've had a JCL here for longer than I've been teaching and that's about 2,000 years um and so normally we have instate conventions but um they have this thing and and next Friday we're headed off to something called a kmen competition which is Statewide um I I don't like to brag about how great our kids are are but um we have the best carom teams the best Academic Teams in the state um some of these kids go with the main JCL over the summer to the National Convention where they compete as main JCL students in the national competition um and we've actually had a lot of great success over the last couple of
040years uh throughout the country they have these keramin tournaments at some really great schools and the closest school to us that does this is Harvard and and um on April 5th so that's in like two months or a month and a half there is something called the Harvard Carmen uh this attracts teams from all over the country um and also the Boston area uh no team from Maine has ever gone to this um and they've run it for 15 years um with the kids that I have like this is the time that I think that we would go and engage in this kmen thing probably get like completely like overwhelmed by how great it is but it's it's a great experience it gets kid kids um to go and to uh experience really competitive carment
041those kids that choose to travel to with the main JCL to the national competition get some great experience with some really challenging questions but it's also uh good for us to you know engage because this this is the level that our kids are competing at and are excelling at in uh in J in competitive in competitive Latin which I'm sure you all knew existed um so the the uh the the con the competition itself is on April 5th which is a Saturday I hope and uh so we would travel down on Friday um and because it's in it's at Harvard uh we need to travel down in order to be there in the morning when the competition starts um the uh uh we would travel by a a probably a 15 passenger van I plan
042to only take Juniors and seniors especially for this first time going uh and two teams of that and I think we know who the two teams are are um because they are probably going to come in first and second next Friday at the main state competition um and uh the cost to the district would so this would probably be about um so two teams of four each and then maybe one or two alternates to help kind of fill up the trip and to be Runners and so forth and I can't be in every um in every round because we will'll be playing in different rounds at that time um and so we would probably be around 10 students and we would travel down on that Friday um stay in hotel rooms and then travel to
043the uh participate in the Harvard C comment on Saturday and then come back Saturday night uh cost to the districts uh should be zero um I plan to use the JCL funds in the JCL account that we've accumulated over however many years to pay for the van and then charge students um to pay for their part for the hotel room uh we would have they would also have to probably pay for for food and stuff at that point um uh if students can pay that's where the funds in the JCL account come um and I'm more than happy to help out myself for any kids that are unable to pay um and that's it I think J it's like the greatest Club ever going through all the letters of the alphabet come on F I've
044been here how many times I know but tell me again okay JCL is uh a competitive Latin I don't know it's Latin we we'll call it Latin club like we do things around the school that help engage in a proactive like you know Latin club but then like then it stands for junior classical league and then there's a state organization and a National Organization and the National Organization runs like testing and all this stuff and we just finished up a Latin League thing where group Mand like group competitive test taking and stuff and the kids are great um but then also the state competition is like so we go to like these three competitions every year and like there are different conventions and the kids compete academically but they also get to know other students
045from around the state that are taking Latin and they compete in spirit competitions too which is uh chaos and screaming and so I'm taking way too much time so um but it's it's a whole lot of fun and we we have great students that do it we have largest J in the state um there's actually a really good news story from your last comp look at that Wabi was it uh it was no it was a news center it was the 207 okay did it they did a great job I will email that to you f and the the the thumbnail of that are all of the Latin kids from hon Academy so you'll be able to see that and that's going up on the main JCL web page um during this meeting because that's
046what I'm working on right now so thank you everyone for presenting that so yes I am now accepting motions on accepting these individually or as a slate I move that we approve the Wagner grade A H Academy Key Club and the JCL trips as presented did Club so we have a motion and a uh a snarky motion and a second on the floor to approve the field trips is is there any further discussion on the um on these field trips I just had a question for the Key Club was it the Key Club that was a cost for students yes yes yes it's approximately $112 per student F if they can't cover that then we won cover it through you will cover it through okay no as long as I just concern any further discussion
