001I'm going to entertain the Pledge of Allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, welcome and announcements from the board chair. I don't really have any fabulous announcements, but it looks like we have some guests tonight. Ms. Heinbeck and students that presented the findings from the Fields Symposium. >> Thank you. Thanks. And before we get started, I just want to thank you all for the work that you do, because I know that you put in some long hours and late at night, and you get to see this room, but you don't always get to see the fun stuff that we're doing in the class. So, we get to
002come and share a little bit of that tonight. Um, so AJ was one of eight students that put together a project for the findings for the Fields Symposium, which is hosted by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute every year, and it's partially funded through NASA. And it got big enough this year that they hosted it at UNUM instead of GMRI. Um, so I was just going to tell you a little bit about it, and then I'm going to pass it over to AJ so he can tell you his experience. >> Do you mind if I interrupt you and you go to the front so the audience actually sees you? >> AJ gets his moment in the sunlight he deserves. >> All right. So, just a real quick snippet about what Findings is. Um, it's a
003it's an opportunity for students to present their work, and [clears throat] they can present right along some college students, and there are some professional scientists that are there. And so, it's a really big opportunity, um, for our students to realize that they're not just students, that they're actually part of a larger group of scientists. And I don't just say that flippantly. Like our students here, they collect data, they present here, they send it off to other scientists. In particular, our class collected data on Hemlock Woolly Adelgid and Emerald Ash Borers, which anybody that knows the logging world knows that those are really affecting our community. And so we send those off and it's part of a larger work that scientists really use. They think it's not just like kids doing kids' work, it's real science.
004So that's exciting. Um the students presented a poster of their work and they had to they had to suffer through me making them edit and re-edit and re-edit. And how many days did you stay after school? And how many hours did you stay with Mom? >> [laughter] >> And showing their scientific observations, their analysis, or their research findings. So there were three different ways they could do it. They could do like AJ did, which was make some sort of an observation in of something in the natural world based on some knowledge that he already had, and wrote up his observations, and then come up with more questions, because scientists don't just know a bunch of facts. They're supposed to always be asking more questions. So ideally these things end with What's next? What's next? Other
005students, just to give you another snippet of what might be happening that you don't know or what is happening that you might not know about, is our students collected data every day weather data. I'm like, I think you probably did this every day in my class, too. >> [laughter] >> And we've switched it a little bit since then. We have a a weather station on the right over by the football field, and that's where they get their data from, and they also collect the 30-year average. And so we've got students that are comparing current weather data right here on our school property with the climate data and looking at at how those things compare. So they could do a that's called a data challenge. We've got the nature note like he did. And the third
006one that our school was the only person or only school that had a student that did was something called two-eyed seeing. And that's where a student take looks at indigenous knowledge, which in this case was Passamaquoddy, and compares and contrasts it with modern Western science. And so, they were GMR I was really excited that we sent a student with that. Um so, after they do all the work, they make their poster. Then we bring it there and they um participate in a poster session where they get to talk about their work. There's other students going around. There's other scientists that are there. Um I'll let AJ tell you about the really cool person that he met there. Do you want to tell them that? >> Um it was really fun. Um we practically just Um
007we put up these My poster, we put it up on the wall and we um told everybody about like what it was about. Like mine was about snakes. I have a I have a lot of snakes. So, so that was pretty easy for me to just watch them and like collect data throughout many days. And I I know a lot of snakes. Like I can answer pretty much any questions. >> [laughter] >> True story. Um Do you want to tell them who you met when you were there? Or should I hold up? I'm going to give you a screenshot of a Whoops. Not of a website. Um So, one of the really exciting things to me is that they're meeting real scientists. And so, AJ was excited at the end of the day because he
008got to shake hands with somebody from NASA. Who was actually really interested in work. And a few days later, there's this article posted on the website [clears throat] that's got AJ front and center. Which I thought was pretty cool. And then I emailed GMRI and just said, "Hey, thanks for the article. It was a great opportunity and how exciting it was to see AJ on there." And she passed that along and then the author of the article emailed AJ. So, it was kind of cool. So. Very cool. >> Any questions or comments or anything? >> I'll put AJ's back up here. This makes. >> AJ, I'm noticing down on I think it's a third paragraph, pythons like anything that where they can hide and feel squished. And they'll I never would never realize this that
009the less room there, it's better because there's no room for animals to come and steal their eggs. >> Yes. In the wild, um ball pythons like tight places because it's safer there. Like, less things can get in there and steal whatever they have in there, if it's eggs to hatchlings, they can't get in there and steal them. So, and it makes them feel safe so they can hide from predators like that are trying to eat them. >> Thank you. Very interesting. I didn't know snakes had mites. It's another reason I wouldn't want >> [laughter] >> But snakes could have mites, but >> [clears throat] >> that's why you have their tank and then have paper towels on the bottom so you can check them for mites, RSV, and all stuff like that. >> And how
010many snakes do you have? >> 10. >> Wow. I'm not coming over here. >> [laughter] >> Cool. >> Nice job. >> GOOD JOB. >> [applause] >> I DON'T THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING. >> YEAH. >> Thank you all for doing all you do. >> You're a brave mother. >> Thank you for coming and supporting your mother. Thank you so thank you so much. >> Thanks for sharing. You did a great job. It's nerve-wracking to come up here. >> Hold on, I don't want you to miss your post. >> Yeah. >> I think you did a great job. >> Thank you. >> Yes. >> So, thank you. >> All right. Hearing of delegations, we don't have any more. Proposed agenda, we have attendance and we have a quorum. >> That's true. >>
011Consideration to approve the minutes for the May 6th and May 20th Board of Directors meeting. >> So moved. >> All in. >> So moved. >> All those in favor? >> I need to abstain from the 20th. >> I also do. >> I do too. >> Wait, hold on. Jesus. >> Cuz we were >> Jenny was good. We were there. >> Oh, me too. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> Jenny, does Jenny keep going? Who else? >> Jen. >> Susie. Anybody else want to abstain from the 20th? Okay. Perfect. >> a choice. >> [laughter] >> Thank you. >> All right. Consideration to approve the proposed agenda for June 3rd, 2026 Board of Directors meeting. >> So moved. >> Judy. >> Second. >> Andrea. >> All right, student [snorts] report. Oh, yeah, we need a vote. I'm sorry.
012All those in favor? >> Okay, thank you. >> I'm just so excited to get this in, Finley. All right, Finley, you're >> All right, we're good? >> Okay. >> partner in crime. >> I know she had to work tonight, I'm so sad. >> [laughter] >> All right, good evening, everyone. May was a very full month for the student body with the end of the year bringing lots of fun field trips and events. The SVHS Yellow Tulip Project hosted their second annual Hope Day to spread awareness of the stigma surrounding mental health. Students enjoyed brownie sundaes donated by Bobby Sue's Homemade Ice Cream, snow cones, live music, face painting, lawn games, and much more. Two days later, the annual district art show was held at the Ossipee Valley Fairgrounds with hundreds of pieces of artwork on
013display. Many field trips were also held during May, such as the annual Marine Science Casco Bay field trip where students were able to travel on boats around Casco Bay for the day learning about aquaculture, seeing kelp farms, and enjoying fresh shucked oysters. Another field trip was held when the Small Towns and Rural Schools, aka the STARS program, joined with Colby College to host students from all over Maine to tour the campus, have a panel discussion with current students, and even attend a mock class of their chosen subject. The Junior Classical League Spring Convention also took place this month. The students stayed overnight at Camp Mechuwana in Winthrop Wednesday through Thursday night where they ran in chariot races, made friends with other schools over s'mores around the campfire, wore Latin-inspired costumes, aka togas, and overall just
014celebrated the ancient culture that they learned about in their Latin classes. Many Sacopee students got medals and ribbons at the convention with Sacopee bringing home six first place prizes, eight second place, 12 third place, six fourth place, and six fifth place awards in contests such as chariot races, art competitions, and Olympic games. This past weekend, the Western Maine conference track meet took place with many Sacopee students placing for the state level events and even breaking records. Congratulations to the following student athletes: Chris Mitchell, second place in javelin; Ariana Gray, second in pole vault, fourth in high jump; Grayson Brown, third long jump, third triple jump, 600 m; Olivia Harvil, fourth in 300 m hurdles; the girls 4 by 10 team in fifth place with Cassie Betters, Juliette Doyle, Zoe Ward, and Olivia Harvil; the boys
0154 by 100 relay, third place with Barrett Lusier, Everett Radley, Grayson Brown, and Camden Loud; boys 4 by 100 relay, sixth place with Barrett Lusier, Everett Radley, Connor Gauthier, and Camden Loud; Emily Marin with fifth place javelin; Evelyn Hallen with second second place javelin; Merrill Bridges with fifth place shot put and a Western Maine conference champion for her first place award in javelin; and Sarah Cox, second in 200 m, second in 100 m, breaking two new SVHS records in both 100 m and 400 m, and earning a Western Maine conference champion title for her first place in 400 m. And as school comes to a close in the following weeks, there's some events to keep an eye out for. For seniors, their class breakfast will be on June 4th at 7:00 a.m. That same day,
016they will also take their senior walk at 11:15 and have their senior assembly at 12:45 in the high school. Sunday the 7th at 4:00 p.m., graduation will begin and we encourage everyone available to attend and support this year's graduating class. Aside from that, the class of 2027 parents will have a meeting on June 9th at 6:00 p.m. in the high school cafeteria and the last day of school will be the 15th. >> Good job. Thank you, Finley. >> Yeah. >> All right. We're going to move on to business finance reports and the finance committee report on May 13th meeting. >> similar report to what we've had for for a long time running, which is good news. Sub C received and recorded five town revenues, we're all in. Operating revenues continue to see expenses with expenses
017in line. Food service is being received and revenues will meet expenses as the year progresses. We keep saying the same thing. And adult ed revenues exceed expenses in line [laughter] with a budget. A solid financial report again. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Their next meeting will be June 10th at 5:00 p.m. Facilities report, construction, transportation, and safety committee report on May 13th. >> I'll take this one as well and unfortunately I feel like I've been saying this a long time. This is for the pre-K modular with CDS funds that we are going to install hopefully at the elementary school. We're still waiting for fire marshal approval. So, just a back and forth the architect to the fire marshal. This is taking probably shouldn't say on TV longer than all the other projects that
018we've done. I'm not sure exactly why. But there's been a pretty massive delay. It's been in for a while. We've called regularly. I think we're working hard to get this. I am getting concerned and nervous that we will not have that modular in for the start of school. I'm not sure what we'll do. Sue's done a great job of working with the DOE. Maybe we can start a little later. I don't want to push the panic button yet, but we are getting pretty late to install a module and build a hallway. It's June 3rd. So, a couple months, everybody's busy in the summer. It's getting worrisome. I mean, we have the money. We're looking at getting the funding, but we need this approval to move forward. So, that's what I have on that news. That's
019a little bit of the negative. Positive of the weight room, the $150,000 donation from Isaiah Fields. The equipment's in. They're finishing up the painting. There's a dedication ceremony. You probably saw Sue Day's email. We'll have a dedication ceremony on Friday night at 4:00. My understanding from the state is there might be cookies. Which I'm just saying if they want to sweeten the deal, no no pun intended, metaphor, something. >> Big scissors and cookies. How can you miss it? So it's going to be the greatest event of all time. But as an aside, it really is and I had a chance to walk down there with Suzanne today. It is beautiful. I would say that that weight room, fitness center, rival probably better than any C rivals like a class A weight room. I showed it
020to some kids the other day. They were over the moon excited. I think it's going to be great for our school community to have that facility. We thank Isaiah. There'll be an official dedication, but it is super cool in there. >> And he'll be here? >> He is coming for graduation as our guest speaker. He cannot make it for Friday evening. So that's what I have. Oh, and later we're hopefully going to name it the Fields Family Fitness Center when we get to action items. But I'll save that for then. >> Perfect. Thank you. June 10th is the next meeting for uh >> [clears throat] >> that committee. Curriculum reports. Curriculum Committee report on May 13th meeting. >> Uh yes. So um we [clears throat] uh met with the substance abuse uh committee and we
021had a lot of guests with us that joined us. People from the um Sac Valley Health Center, from Healthy Oxford Hills, um Dr. DeKay, our school physician, um as well as many of the administrators in our district, um and uh I think there was one other organization. >> Healthy Oxford Hills. >> Oh, I think I got them. Okay. Um so one of the really cool things that we did is we um the team changed their name from Substance Abuse Committee to the substance use prevention committee because that is basically our our goal is to prevent um substance use. So, um they started we started with reviewing the policy of the drug and alcohol use by students rule. We talked about how important it is to be more proactive than reactive um when dealing with some
022of these things um in terms of students use um talking about uh counseling that that happens in conjunction with some of the other um requirements um a student having broken that policy. Um Then we talked a lot about um some of the programming that's in place here um to support students social and multi emotional health. Um one being the character strong program that is used uh the elementary school and I think a little bit at the middle school as well. Um and just felt like it was really um a really great addition to some of the class classroom instruction that's going on to help uh students build skills around responsibility, relationships, calming emotions, kindness, courage, all those great character traits that we want um students to have as they go through our system. Also talked
023about the BAR program that is at the middle school and high school um and then also some of the extra things like they have there's a regulation station at the middle school to help um students with settling their body and preparing to learn so that they're their best selves in the classrooms. Um and then there are a couple other things that they're working on. One especially is about the attendance um that there are um it's called just right. If you can't attend, you can't be a learner, so you need to be in school. Um and then also some attendance mentors um from the uh at the middle school that have been really successful in helping kids um, lessen their absenteeism. So. Um, and then, um, there was also a discussion about providing some youth mental
024health first aid training. Um, possibly in July. >> Um, it's happening I wrote I wrote it down somewhere. Yeah. I'm >> [clears throat] >> I'm terrible at dates. Is it >> The June 18th? >> Yeah, thanks. >> So, that's great and there's 15 staff members that are signed up. So, that's that's pretty exciting. Um, and then, um, Healthy Oxford Hills also talked about collaborating his collaboration with the, um, middle school health teacher and some of the programs that they've been talking about on vaping and nicotine and as well as cannabis with some of the middle school grades, which is I think an important step, um, you know, educating them first before they're trying some of those things. So. Um, yeah, and I was put in as the chair. Okay. So. That's my report. Congrats to
025you. >> Thank you. Okay, so their next meeting is on June 10th at 3:00 p.m. The next committee is >> it's 4:00. Yeah, those are ours. Finance team. Yeah, it should be 4:00 p.m. >> I'm doing curriculum committee, right? >> Yeah, so is >> Policy and curriculum are separate. >> Oh, okay. I see. All right, thank you. Wellness Committee report on May 18th meeting. >> Yep, I have that report. So, >> [clears throat] >> excuse me, the May 18th meeting was our third and last meeting for 2025-2026 and we will meet again in the fall, probably in October. Present was Will who is the chair, Samantha Wedgwood, Michelle Dennison, Dr. DeKay, and myself. Also present via Google Meet from Oxford Healthy Oxford Hills were um food the food coordinator there, the regional program coordinator, and
026another regional program coordinator. And we met in this room and they were on that screen there, which made it really nice and they couldn't come here physically, but we could meet with them that way. So, the first thing was Bert reported on substance abuse. I like that new thing. The new name of it. Yeah. >> Substance Substance Use Prevention. >> We I will mention that at the next meeting, so. Task Force meeting, which was on May 13th. The team included the Healthy Oxford Hills staff, SV Sacopee Valley Health Center, middle school staff, sorry. Um the SAD staff and administration. And um some board members. At the January 14th, 2016 meeting, we developed an active plan with specific steps for bullying, suicide, and depression, tobacco vaping, alcohol, and marijuana. And then Bert Wilf wanted to start
027something different to see how our students were doing being active in activities provided by the school. So, he has started a chart. The first chart was from the middle school, seventh and eighth graders playing baseball. There were 14 youngsters. Middle school the also seventh and eighth graders, 23 um came out for softball. 12 were in seventh grade, 11 were 11 were in eighth grade. Middle school boys track and field, there were 18. Middle school girls track and field were six. Middle school special Olympics, there were three, two males and one female. And the total for the middle school spring sports were 64 people. And out of 369 that And you know, Brett with his percentage, that's 17.34%. So, then he went to the high school uh not literally, the high school chart. High school baseball,
028there were 13 um students out, one home-schooled, which gives them 14 students. High school softball was also 13 students. High school boys track and field were 11. One was a home-schooler, so there were 12 total then. Girls track and field were 14. High school special Olympics were two, and that would be two males. And the total for spring sports were 553. And that it out of 234 students, that's 22.6%. So, Brett Wolf agreed to continue tracking high school and middle school sports participation and share with the wellness team track season to track season, year to year. Shout out to the middle school staff for their work promoting the Turkey Trot Run in the fall and the Walk-A-Thon in the spring, keeping the students active. Nutrition update from Sam Wedg- Wedgwood. Um there's more scratch cooking
029is happening. Everyone knows what scratch cooking is. Yes, okay. I didn't at the first. Taste test of the week before April vacation. They tried something brand new, ranch yogurt dip with veggies, which was a huge success. I know, I don't Whatever, they liked it. >> [laughter] >> Second flex farm purchase for the middle school. And I'm assuming that's a farm that provides vegetables and so forth, right? Carl? >> It's a good question. >> If you remember, Mr. Bacchiano brought it as part of the source program. >> right. That's right. That's that, yeah. >> They had the display here. >> Yeah. Source program is now growing, same thing, growing lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes in addition to herbs, providing to the nutrition department, selling to staff, and now supplying Krista's restaurant with her herbs, that has been
030a terrific success. So, when you go to Krista's for a meal, the herbs are from our kids. Right, let's see. So, uh two more kitchen staff will be going to the Let's Go Summer Training at Edward Little High School, uh August 10th through the 14th, which will focus on culinary skills and procedures, recipes, etc. Main school nutrition conference happening in Freeport, August 11th and 12th. Mary Pingree has been hired as the new manager at the elementary school. And congratulations to Samantha having been nominated as the MSNA vice president for the coming year. Concerns. FDA's authorization for the flavored e-cigarettes on May 2nd. What does this mean for schools and youth anti-vaping efforts? Actually health staff said that earlier this month FDA approved two flavors, blueberry and mango, and Health and Human Services is walking a
031fine line with significant amount of nicotine products coming from China. Looking forward to next year, Dr. DeKay asked that we should look at asking the policy committee to amend the wellness policy to add mental health to the team's mission. Britt Wolf and Samantha Wedgwood will speak with Sue Day to discuss how to best coordinate all the wellness-related initiatives, substance use prevention, nutrition, physical activity, mental health, etc. All right, so Britt Wolf is stepping down as chair, so Judy and Ron nominated Samantha [laughter] Wedgwood, seconded by Dr. DeKay, and approved Samantha, who accepted the nomination. And that's it. >> Thank you. Anybody have questions? All right, so the from-scratch cooking is coming back to that now? Cuz when I was in high school, a lot of the things were made, and then we started buying food.
032And now we're going back, which to me I So, if they start making ham and cheese melts, then [laughter] I want to know I'm coming in for lunch. >> I think they're called like cheese zombies or something. I looked it up cuz I wanted to make them. If they do, I'm coming to school for lunch, okay, Carl? >> Okay, you're in. >> [laughter] >> Well, I'll bring that up at our next meeting. Ham and cheese >> Ham and cheese melts. They put like the bread dough and then they had the ham and the cheese in the bread dough again and it was a big tray and then they'd cut it into square. It was my favorite day. >> Didn't they Didn't they cut them into tri- into triangles? >> No. Not Not where I went,
033it was square. >> Okay. >> Could be triangles where you were. I harass every lunch lady I see that from when I was in school. They don't remember. Okay. So, the next meeting for that is to be announced. Lake Region >> That'll be in the fall, yeah. >> In the fall. Lake Region Vocational Advisory Committee had no meeting and their next meeting is to be announced. >> fall. >> Probably the fall. >> Okay. >> Adult Education Advisory Committee report on May 26th meeting. >> Um so, uh it was a pretty short meeting. Um we just kind of went over uh the other stuff that we've spoken of throughout the school year. This was our last meeting of the school year. Our next meeting is set for October 27th. Um and so, we kind of talked
034about the program enrollment and, you know, it's not quite as strong as as it has been. We um They were thinking around 600 for the year and it's down from 650, which was last year. And um so, you know, they're talking about finances being probably being a major factor in that. Um and uh you know, warmer weather, colder weather, different reasons for people not wanting to get out or having too much else outside to do outside to do. Um so, graduating, there will definitely be two, um but possibly four. Um and the graduation is set for Thursday, June 25th at 6:00 p.m. at Pike Hall. Um the marketing um the cookbook that I passed around to everybody, um, they handed a bunch more of those off. They put a big stack of them at actually
035at calls. And um, those all disappeared right quick, too. Um, the brochure is not so much. Um, so they were talking about actually putting the brochures inside the cookbooks. Um, but people seem to really be enjoying the cookbooks um, that they put together. And of course they talked about the mailing and the brochure and the emails and the website. Um, uh, the Do we talked about the spring and fall brochures and they were planning on doing lots of outside activities, hiking, um, you know, hiking, more outdoor act- type activities, gardening, um, they talked about um, um, having an activity that um, what to do if if a loved one or somebody passes away. Um, they talked about, you know, older the older generation, you know, um, typically one person taking care of the household bills
036or one person taking care of and so they want to would like to add to the brochure uh, they have a they've already done this class a while ago, but they were thinking about bringing it back around again was just basically how to do finances, how to checkbooks, how to pay bills and you know, um, um, in case there are people of the older generation that have lost that, you know, they they depend on their husbands or wives to do all the um, handling of the household finances and then all of a sudden that person passes or whatever, they they would like to be able to bring that class back around again and make sure just everybody just kind of has a refresher and so we talked a lot about that. Um and we talked
037a lot about um the MCCA grant. Um they think Dave again thinks that we will get it, but it looks like the state will phase it out and include it with a subsidy for people actually going to college. Um the AEFLA grant um but that's a definite for next year. He definitely believes that we'll be getting that one. Um just the MCCA grant it it'll no longer become a grant it will just go, you know, become a subsidy for for people to get. Um we talked a lot about the family reading club um and it has increased to five families, which is 20 people. It's going great. Um they offer a lot of food at these uh at this reading club and you know, that's where they get some of their recipes for their cookbook
038or you know, Dave was talking about sometimes they might have like a corn dog night or a spaghetti meatball night or you know, something easy and so um the kids are loving it. The parents are loving it. Um it is actually all done for this year, but it will start back up again. And we talked about um more hours possibly for next year for Renee and Jenny. We had already you know, discussed and passed the budget by the time they wanted to bring this up. So um those two are for according to Dave they were actively looking for more hours. So that could be a possibility that we talk about when the budget comes back around again. That's it. >> Okay, thank you. And do you not meet again until next fall? >> Uh so
039what is it? October? >> 27th. >> All right. So we already did policy to my calendar. >> Yeah. >> So, yeah, Tuesday, October 27th. >> already done. >> Oh, okay. So, policy reports, policy committee report on May 13th meeting. >> Um the committee with input from our administrators reviewed the following policies and will continue to work on them at the June meeting. JICJ, student use of cell phones and other electronic devices and JICH-R, drug and alcohol use by students rule. Uh next meeting is June 10th. >> Yeah. Perfect. Thank you, Alyssa. So, now we'll move to our action items. Consideration to approve the following policies as a second read and adoption. JLCD, administration of medication to students. JLCDR, medication administration on school field trips. JLCD-E, medication registration. JLCDA-E, medical marijuana in schools. JJIF, management of
040concussions and other head injuries. JICH, drug and alcohol use by students. So, I need a motion to >> So moved. >> Oh. >> Yes, perfect. >> Second. >> Andrea. >> All in favor? Superintendent report. >> Okay, quick tonight. Just staffing, internal transfer. Calliana Carbone from grade four to grade six and it works out well. Amanda Thayer for grade six to grade four. That's just an internal transfer. You don't have to take action, but so that should be a great move for us. Appointments, Gerald Woodsome, custodian at the high school. Jacob Hutton, varsity boys soccer. The Larry Meggison, varsity softball assistant. Courtney Ross, varsity cheering coach. And resignations from Carter Belanger, EdTech at our middle school. And Jean Jordan, our study hall monitor. We thank both of them for their service. >> [snorts] >> Thank you.
041Now we're on to action items. Consideration to name the weight room the Fields Family Fitness Center. >> So moved. >> Judy. >> Second. >> Joanne. >> All in favor. >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Consideration to approve the warrant for assessment of tax and the assessment schedule and notice of installments for each member municipality prepared by the treasurer for fiscal year 2026 to 2027 be approved and issued in form presented to this meeting and that the treasurer be authorized and directed to deliver each member municipality its warrant for assessment of tax and its assessment schedule and notice of installments. >> So moved. >> Susan. >> Second. >> Joanne. >> So that is the final step. You didn't ask me to speak, but I'll go anyway. The final step in the school budget is basically
042giving the towns their official bills based on the budget passing at the referendum. So we'll drive those around tomorrow. And you will have to stay a few minutes at the end of this meeting to sign. So I apologize for that in advance. >> [snorts] >> That's fine. Okay. All in favor. >> [laughter] >> That's fine. Oh, consideration to move the July board meeting. >> Before we do any of that, I just to jump in. So year over year we've moved it from the 4th of July week to the week after. This year it's a little awkward because the 4th of July is like Saturday, the first some people might be taking the week with the one in it off, some people might be taking the week with the eight in it off. It's not as
043clear. Sometimes like the fourth is Thursday and obviously we're not going to have our board meeting on the third. Well, not obviously. We haven't historically had it on the third. Whatever you want to do, if you want to keep it the first because the fourth is Saturday or most people take that as 4th of July weekend, you want to move it to the eighth. It is this board's discretion of whether you want to bump it back a week based on the 4th of July or not. >> What happens do we have committee meetings in the summer? >> We usually meet at least one time for a committee meeting. >> So would we in July? >> It's two I think that can be committee based and typically would be one. I agree with Suzanne. >> Just
044thinking that if we move it, we're going [clears throat] to have committee meetings and then >> And then then the board meeting. That's true. >> to think about. >> It is something to think. I defer to the group. So that's what's on the table though. Keep it the one or move it to the eight. >> Does anyone have conflict with us doing it on our usual July 1st date? Speak now or forever hold your >> I I mean I don't really. Just it >> The it's not till the Saturday, so I can go either way. So I think we'll keep it. >> Anybody have a burning desire to move it to the eighth? Okay, we'll just I don't know what's the best part of the table. I think we just take it as no action.
045We take no action. No action. >> Unless someone screams out that we want to. All right, so no action. Okay. So we're moving to the number four. >> That is correct. >> Consideration to enter executive session to consider expulsion of students pursuant to 1 M.R.S.A. section 405-6B. >> So moved. >> Susan. >> Second. >> Joanne. >> All in favor. >> Okay.
