001Braya, can you hear us? >> I can. Can you hear me? >> Can you say >> Braya? Can you hear us? >> Yes. Can you hear me? >> We can. We're good. >> Awesome. Okay. Good evening and welcome to the Scarboro Board of Education business meeting. The date is Thursday, August 21st, 2025. Um, Ray, can we call the attendance, please? >> Yes, Miss Jacobs >> here. >> Mr. Kellaher >> here. >> Miss Lindstöm >> here. >> Mr. Rockens >> here. >> Mr. Mr. Pennian >> here. >> Mr. Penny Huff >> here. >> All right. Wonderful. Thank you so much. Would everyone please join me for 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,
002with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. Thank you so much. Um, agenda item 4.0 is approval of the July 17th, uh, 2025 business meeting and July 24th, 2025 retreat meeting minutes. So, if there are no objections, we will approve those as presented. All right. Agenda item 5.0 is the consent agenda. The these are um non-action item just for the board's information, the July resignations, retirements, and new hires. So, just um ask you to review your materials if you haven't already. Um agenda item 6.0 are adjustments to the agenda. And we have one, but Freyla, I'm going to need your help. One of the um one of the policy KFS we need to um them, but I couldn't remember which one. Can you just take a look at the agenda? Do you have it there
003with you? Yeah, let me pull that screen up. Just give me a moment. >> I was afraid I would choose the wrong one. >> That's fair. All right, looking at that. So I just to rephrase I think um we our intention was KF-P use of school facilities procedures um is to be uh retired essentially and then uh we'll keep KF-R use of school facility regulations and KF-P use of school facility fees. We had two KF-Ps floating around during our policy meeting. So, we're going to keep KFP, just call it use of school facility fees. >> That's correct. Yeah, that's the spreadsheet that we went over. >> Okay. K F. Okay. So, do we I thought we only had two, but we still have three. >> Well, we have KF, the facilities policy. >> Yep. >>
004There's KF-R, the use of school facilities regulations. And then there's KF-P, use of school facility fees. retiring the other KFP use of school facilities procedures. >> Oh, okay. Procedures. So, we're retiring. So, um I think I have a couple then. So, the I'm going to bundle them all into my mo uh amendments. So, we we're going to retire KFP use of school facility procedures. So, we need to have a new 13.6. We're going to have the first reading of policy KFP, which is now called use of school facilities fees. Did I say that correctly? >> That's correct. >> Okay. And then we are not retiring. If you look at 13.9 on the agenda, are we we're removing that is we're not retiring. Sorry, rewarding that. That's a first reading, not a retirement of um IHBB-R.
005Are we retire or we are retiring that? I'm sorry. Yes. Okay. >> So, I'm done at the KF. >> Yeah. Moving on to AHB. We are retiring one of those. >> It's been kind of consumed into the IHBB which we will be having for first reading today. >> Yes. Thank you for refreshing my memory. Okay. So, then I um my adjustment to the agenda is to um update 13.5 to use of school facilities fees and then add a new 13.6 six, which is to retire KFP use of school facilities procedures. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Any discussion? Can we call the vote, please? Frea here. I mean, >> yep. >> Miss Jacobs. >> Yes. >> Mr. Kellaher. >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockensty. >> Yes. >> Miss Tarpenion. >>
006Yes. Mr. Penny Huff. >> Yes. >> All right. So, that passes. Perfect. Thank you so much. All right. Agenda item 7.0 is a superintendent report. So, we'll pass it to Diane. >> Sure. Thank you. Um, as you can imagine, we are really gearing up for back to school um right about now. Um, really excited for our staff to be returning next week and also um our students. Uh so I just thought I would take a few minutes to do a look back and a look ahead with you. So again um if you've had the opportunity to be in around our schools, Shannon, I know you were at sneak peek um today. Um there is some really amazing work happening in our buildings to get them all ready uh for our students to return. So things
007are really shaping up. Um that is no small feat for our facilities department and our custodians. um especially with um the really consistent use that our buildings get, especially Wetworth. Um and so they are still uh making some final um doing some of the final cleaning at Wentworth because of um the basically constant use that it has through the summer. Uh we have had uh a lot of really great work happening with staff. Uh we welcomed all our new staff on Wednesday with new staff orientation. I would say there were probably uh just under 35 uh people who joined us there. Uh so the majority of uh new hires that were there are support staff. Um but it was really excellent um to be able to engage with those folks. Um, uh, our curriculum department,
008um, Katie had put together a staff symposium opportunity last week, um, for staff. And so, uh, that enabled, um, our staff to get a closer look at our curriculum and some of the programs that we use. And so that was, um, a really well, um, planned activity for those folks, um, who could do that. Um, and we also have uh spent a lot of time this summer, our curriculum department, Katie and Kelsey, uh, working with staff on uh, social studies curriculum and doing some ELA curriculum work. Just on Monday, in fact, I think we had nearly oh 47 um, educators who came um, for an ELA day. And so they had uh lots of different offerings that they could participate in and that was a first time event and it was super highly attended. So
009um that was great to see that our staff um have been really engaged um in work despite the fact that um it's not their uh you know summer is not their general work time. Uh we also have hosted uh really robust student programs this summer. um our extended school year services for special education students. Uh those programs were very successful. We held uh a great elementary reading academy um again this year. It was great a couple weeks ago to be able to go and um visit with them uh as they did their final presentations and sharing with their families. Um our middle school hosted uh another round of connections um that has really taken off um in the past couple of years since it's been started. Uh we have lots of sixth grade families who
010are taking advantage of the opportunity to help onboard their students to middle school um by signing up for that. um high school, we continue to offer credit uh recovery opportunities for students in the summer. Um and so that was um very well attended. And then finally, just last week, um we held our kinder camp at um all three of our primary schools. And so it was really uh a great opportunity for our incoming kindergarten students to get a little bit of a taste um around uh what to expect um to navigate their school to be able to take RI uh you know to learn how the bus works and ride the bus. Um, so again, you know, hopefully that is all in an effort to allay some of the anxiety and anxiousness that they might
011be feeling about coming to school. Um, as we look ahead, um, as I said, we have our opening days for staff coming up on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Um, Monday is a building base day. We um had pulled our our staff a few years ago about how to best use those two days when we were able to move to two days of professional development. And from a staff point of view, they really want to be in their buildings and have time in their buildings that first day. And so um we have organized our district day for the last few years so that our district um opening is actually the second day. So on Tuesday morning um we'll have a great breakfast for everyone in the district um and then we'll convene in the
012auditorium uh for a welcome and um what we hope to be is a really great keynote speaker. Um this year our keynote speaker will be um Jordan Toma. So I know that I had already extended an invite to all of you and if um you are able to join us we would love to to have you pop by. Um as far as students next week um again um as a district we are very appreciative of the board's continual support uh for these by appointment days for K5. Uh so those will be happening on Wednesday and Thursday next week. Those are all organized and all of our families have appointment times and know when they're going uh to come to the school and and have that dedicated time with their child's incoming teacher along with their
013child. So, um I know that we get rave reviews um from families about that and huge appreciation from our staff to be able to begin formulating relationships right from the start. Um I think that's a hallmark uh that here in Scar Bro we really put a high premium on the value of relationships and it's great that we can start in that way with our students. Um on Wednesday, um again talking about a great start for our students, Wednesday is a sixth grade only day at the middle school and a ninth grade only day at the high school. Um, we've done that for a number of years and again as our students are acclimating to a new building, different type of programming, it's really wonderful for them to be the only students in the school um
014on that first day so that at least they can take a breath and it's not so crowded and all of the staff really um dedicate efforts to special programming. um on that day. So, we're looking forward to that on Wednesday. Uh and then on Thursday, the 28th, all of our students in grades 6 to 12 will have school. And then following that, um the Tuesday after Labor Day, um we will have all of our students um back in school for the new year. So, we're really excited about that. Lots of lots of things happening. It's hard to believe the summer's over. >> Wow. >> All right. Um, are there any questions for Diane? >> I I just had one. Can you How's the turf coming? Were you still looking to be on time? >> So,
015at this point in time, we are expecting that the turf will be ready for use on September 1st. >> Wonderful. So, um, you know, that is, uh, due in large part to many great efforts, um, of Kate Bolton, who has learned so much over the summer about, um, replacing a track and then how to button up turf afterwards. So, Kate really has dedicated a lot of time to that project um, on behalf of the district and, um, I think we've worked hard. Yeah, sure. If you want to come up, that'd be great. >> Did you actually button the turf? >> It has buttons now. It's really cute. Uh, no, we're we're using uh construction lingo here. Um, we we know all the all the phrases now. Um, no, I just wanted to say that um,
016the the folks uh at Heimlick who are the subcontractors who have been doing the the paving and all that site work that you've been seeing out there, they have been so amazing. They're the nicest, greatest, smartest, cleverest people um, to work with and they're the quality of their work has been awesome. Um, so shout out to those guys. We do have a lot of sort of, you know, whatifs because we're getting right down to the wire. Um, we hope that the weather will cooperate and it has to cooperate in a couple of ways. It has to be hot but not too hot. It has to be dry um but not too dry and and so uh they they have to glue the the turf back and they have to cut it to the shape that
017the track is now which is a little bit different. Um, so there are a lot of things, a lot of moving parts, but um, we're hoping that all of the field stuff around the outside will be accomplished um, this week and into the middle of next week. And then they're going to roll the turf out, start on Monday, let it kind of rest and do some things. And then Thursday or Friday um, next week, they're hoping to cut it and place it and be done with that piece. And then we have to get a friend of ours to come in and paint some of the lines on there over the weekend. Um, one of our vendors who is a super sweetheart and is willing to do that work on the last moment. So, the big
018goal is Thornton Academy on September 4th. Y'all come. >> We'll be there. >> Okay. Um, one final thing is that the actual rubber surface for the track won't be on yet. Um, that doesn't go on until the asphalt's cured up a little bit more. Um, but we don't need it yet. And so we're in conversation about whether that's going to happen like intermittently through the fall or whether it's going to happen right before track season in the spring when they do actually need it. Um, but everything will be usable and accessible. >> And without that, there's no damage for like football cleat walking on it to cross the field. >> No, it's it's like a road. It's asphalt. It's like, you know, if you walk down the road, you're not going to hurt it with
019your cleats. >> Okay. >> Um, if you uh if you you know drove a semi on it, you might have some issues. So, we're not letting them do that. You know how those athletic people are. They want to drive their trucks. Great. Gota. >> But no, we're really excited. It's It's looking really nice. It's It's coming together. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thanks for asking. >> Thanks for sharing. >> All right. Um, agenda item 8.0 is the chair report. Um, I have a couple of things. Um, I laugh because I was just telling Jillian, I don't like slides. I'm never going to use them. And then I'm like, but I have a lot of dates. So, today I have slides. Um the first is the MSMA um the main school management association. Their annual meeting
020is or annual fall conference is coming soon. So this is a save the date. It's going to be October 23rd and 24th. It's um open to board members and administrators um superintendent. Uh it's going to be at the Augusta Civic Center. It's 8 to 3 both days. I don't have an agenda yet. The only thing that they had um they've come out with is their um keynote speaker that looks actually looks really good um to talk about. He will talk about leadership and developing leadership and people. Um so if you're interested, registration for this will open in September. Um outside of the keynote speaker, there's a lot of educational opportunities here. So for those of you that are newer, if you're able to go, um this is a really really awesome opportunity to participate and
021learn and get to meet people. um you know, schoolboard members from around the state and um all of that good stuff. So, um registration will open in September. So, if you are interested, you could let Cheryl know um and she can she can sign you up. All right, the next slide. Okay, also coming up is our um the main school. There's lots of acronyms. This is um a little similar, a little different. main school um bo school board association their annual delegate assembly. So um as you recall Charlotte is our representative for Scarboro and so she will attend she will only be the only one to attend. It's October 18th from 9:30 to 2 on Zoom. Our role as board members, however, is to read through the what's d what's um linked here, but also
022I've sent it to you the proposed resolutions and the constitution and bylaw changes because what Charlotte's job is is to do is to represent our um our views and our our thoughts about these proposed resolutions. So, um I just thought I would back up a little and give everybody just a brief overview about what this means. So when you look at the constitution, their constitution, um this assembly has four specific powers. They adopt resolutions. Um they transact any business. They um elect officers and they adopt amendments to the constitution. Those are the four. But those resolutions that get adopted, what those are, they ex they um outline the purpose of the MSBA. It outlines what their views are going to be and what how they're going to advocate on behalf of schools going forward. So
023that's why it's really really important that Charlotte go armed with a lot of information about how we're feeling um about things like how and when I say how we're feeling what I'm specifically talking about are how are these proposed resolutions and constitution and bylaw changes how might they impact Scarboro and if we agree with them or if we don't agree with them or if we want her to say you know we really um don't want you to vote for this that would be something we would need to discuss with her. So our job as um even though we're not attending is to read through these resolutions and these proposed changes and come prepared to our next board meeting which is September 3rd and discuss um our views on this. All right. Okay. Um my next
024one is that we have an open um board of education seat. This is open because um Alyssa Peterson uh resigned. So this is a partial term um that uh runs until June of 2027. So for anybody who's interested in serving the community, the nomination papers are available um and are due back to um the town office on at 5:00 on September 3rd. So hopefully you'll join us. All right. Last night was a very interesting town council meeting. Um there are there's quite a bit quite a bit of irons in the fire. Um I think majority as you can imagine majority of the meeting was centered around the proposed tiff district in the Dunston area. Um lots of I I think it was probably an hour and a half or maybe even more of public comment.
025So I've never seen this room so full. It was um there was probably three rows of people standing behind the rows of chairs and then they were out in the hallway and down the hallway. So there there was a lot of people here. Um so that uh that took up like I said majority of the meeting. But what was really great is that when they were finished with the public hearing, they moved on to the referendum language and approving the referendum language. and um two of the counselors were absent from the meeting, but the four that were there unanimously approved putting the school on the ballot. Um both questions um so this is for anybody who's unsure of what we mean when we say two questions. The first question is what you see on the
026left um that is the K essentially the K through8 um school solution to address overcrowding. Um, so Eight Corners gets a new school, Pleasant Hill, Bluepoint get a renovation and addition. Uh, Wentworth gets a minor renov uh, excuse me, minor addition. And then the middle school gets a renovation in addition that will um allow us to serve our current enrollment there. If you if a voter votes yes to question one, they then get to vote on number two. So it one depends on the other. They have to vote yes for one to get to question two. Question two is an additional $10 million at the middle school which will allow us to do a larger renovation for what we project is coming to the school. So, um both were unanimously passed. They did um also
027include the language that I know you've seen. Um we haven't had um a public conversation about this, but the language surrounding um the town council and the school board recommends that the that this be approved. So, um, Bill Donovan or Councelor Donovan did a wonderful job of explaining that that actually is a legal requirement. So, um, it doesn't say anything else. I know, um, you know, there's been a variety of languages that we've looked at, but what they ended up going with, it simply says that the town council, the school board recommend approval of this of this these questions, and it'll it'll be written under both. All right. Any questions for me? All right. Agenda item 9.0 are the committee reports. I know that we've we're in the summer. We don't really have um committee
028meetings running right now. Um and we also it's a little for anybody who's watching um our our year runs a little bit different from a council year. So, we actually just sat our board member in June and um we shuffle our committees and change our assignments and so and it's a summer. So, between all of those things, the committees generally don't do too too much. So, um I know we just have have a couple reports. The one committee that meets every week through the summer and throughout is the communications committee. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Do you want to take this one? >> Sure. I mean there's there's a lot going on actually. lots of uh moving parts, but we met Tuesday at noon by Zoom and every Tuesday until after or until the referendum >>
029in November at noon. Um there's a big Scarbor Living article in the works. Um a lot of people have been working like double time on that. Uh the event tables are in full swing. We need volunteers. I know Shannon personally made about 450 signup geniuses this week. Well, and we have uh small group people working on other small group meetings uh to talk about the project projects uh and um we have social media work that needs to be done. So, lots and lots and lots going on. Uh these meetings are full. So, there I would encourage you to So, >> yeah. Yeah. And you um you'll see us uh oh, are we offline? >> Oh. Oh, I think we're good. Okay. Um you'll see those in the community will see us um a lot in
030the town. There's a lot of events coming up. um back to school nights, um ice cream socials at the schools, at the younger grade schools, um open houses, uh all of those you'll you'll see someone from the building committee or a volunte. So, it's >> other thing that we we didn't talk about that they're doing. They're really drastically overhauling the website. So yeah, like going back and um trying to update it to where we are now. Um what's imperative for people to understand about the projects right now. So that is um that is ongoing as well. >> Yeah, there's a lot a lot being done. We did this we did Summerfest. Um >> uh both Shannon and Frea were there. >> Um Frea Freila was out front the whole the whole time. Uh we had
031an interesting time with the cotton candy. Um some of us may still have some in our hair >> hair. >> Uh and yeah, it was fun though. It was fun. We laughed a lot. It was good. I mean it is actually it's if you know it's a it's a lot of really good work. I did hear from a parent that they were very impressed with your skills and their daughter was very happy at the size of their cotton candy that you made versus perhaps somebody else's that made. So, yes, I did I did hear that feedback. It was a lot of fun. And today was good at the We were This was what Diane referenced when she said the middle school um sneak peek. We were there for that as well. And it was it
032was good. Yeah, it went really it went really well. So, lots of events next week um in and around the community. So, if you see us, come come say hi and be on the lookout for an email from me about volunteering with all the 450 signups. [Laughter] All right. And Jillian or No, no, I'm sorry. Out of that was totally out of habit, Charlotte. This is yours now. >> Um yeah. So, new to chairing uh the communications committee, um we'll have our our first meeting on Monday, August 25th at 3M via Zoom. Um we'll do a lot of planning for this upcoming school year. Um and I'm excited to be adding a focus to community engagement and out outreach um aspects to this community. After speaking with Shannon and um learning more about this role,
033um was fortunate enough to chat with Jillian about the um the work that you guys have all been doing with the upcoming Spotlight Awards, the Scar Bro Living magazine, and just really working to find a reoccurring time and day for a regular meeting. But um really excited to be able to um hopefully take off Ray's plate and and really reimagine this the way that you you hope. >> So thank you. >> All right. Now, Jillian, now it's your turn. >> All right. Yeah, we we met on last on August 15th last Wednesday. I don't know what what day is it. Um uh we got to chat with Katie about maybe some goals. Um work looking at a schedule um possible topics. Katie has some topics to bring to us and uh the other board members
034were also encouraged to come up with things that they'd like to discuss. We are in search of a recurring date and time. Um, people are still set settling their schedules for the year. Um, and then our next meeting is next uh, sorry, September 17th at 3:30 by Zoom. >> Awesome. >> All right. Negotiations. Frea. >> So, we had um successful mediation, which means we'll be voting on a on ratifying a contract for professional staff, which is later on in the executive uh, session. Uh and that's for uh negotiations for this year. This was t in the prior years was our off year. Um but because we passed a two-year educational support professional contract, um we will be getting started on that contract this year. And my hope is to get that kicked off as soon
035as we put uh the professional staff one to bed, which that would conclude last year's work. >> Very good. Thank you. And you want to keep rolling on? >> Oh yeah. So, the policy committee um has been meeting um I think we took a break in July, but we've met uh throughout the summer and you you still see a lot of policies on on this uh agenda. We finally we finished a couple of big bigger policies having to do with the school use facilities. That's the fees that we charge for rentals. Um, and the student transportation policy, um, I'm sorry, the student transportation policy also, um, uh, took us quite a while to gather all the information, um, to make a recommendation on those, too. Um, you also, uh, we got to the second reading
036of the concussion policy. Um, we had no feedback, um, from the board. Uh, we had a couple of staff just helped make it the language a little congruent, but, I'll go into that when that policy comes up for vote. Um, we did IHBB, which is our 1983 policy. Um, so now we're in the 2000s, which is exciting. Um, and we finished the public gifts donations to the schools. Um, we're meeting um, right before the first board meeting of the month. Um, so that Thursday. So our next board meeting is on September 4th. So we'll meet from 5:00 to 6:30 and then um, come downstairs for the meeting at 7:00. Um, upcoming, we're reviewing policies in reverse chronological order um, from oldest to newest. Um and we're going to go over some of the board officers
037um and governance um which is the B the policies are are AB go through an alpha numeric uh organization which I still confuse all the time but the B's have to do with governance. So we're going to go through some of the governance policies. Um and then we're working with the town on the facilities naming policy which I feel like has been on the agenda for the last two and a half years. Um but I think we got some good news and hopefully we'll be able to move that policy forward. That's not a current policy. It would be a new policy. Yeah, policy uh is in full swing and we'll keep turning them out. >> Awesome. All right. Are there any questions for any committee chairs or any other committee updates? All right. I don't
038know that there's any liaison um reports. Is there any? >> No, I I was just what you talked about from last night. Yeah. >> All right. All right. Um Okay. So, perfect. Our um agenda item 11.0 is general public comment. Um I don't see anybody here. Is there anybody online? >> No. >> Okay. So, seeing no one, I'm going to close um general public comment. Agenda item 12.0 is continuing business. Uh 12.1 is um a motion to approve our 2025 2026 schoolboard goals. Um these are the goals that we worked on at our retreat. They are online for or goal setting, I should say, goal setting retreat. Um they are online for anybody who's interested in reading it, but I'll read them quickly for us. Um, goal one is to collaborate with the town council
039to pass the 2025 school solution referendum on November 4th, 2025. The action item there is the school board will dedicate sufficient time and resources to ensure a past referendum. Two, the school board will update the community about progress toward the referendum at every schoolboard meeting. Um, number three, the school board will support the communications effort to educate the community at large about the project, the district's needs, and the potential impact on student success. Our goal two is the school board will actively work to strengthen engagement between the school district and the broader community, fostering meaningful relationships, encouraging open dialogue, and creating opportunities for involvement that reflect the shared values and goals of our schools and residents. Um so what Charlotte was alluding to falls under this that we are um really taking a broader look
040at our efforts. Um so our action items are that the school board will host a fall and spring community gathering to share updates and gather input. The school will develop and distribute a comprehensive calendar of district-wide events to the broader community to encourage participation and to highlight the diverse initiatives taking place across our schools. Three, the school the school board will find effective and consistent channels of communication to reach the broader community. Number four, the school board will reimagine the communications committee to better align with the board's renewed focus on strengthening community engagement. This evolution will prioritize inclusivity, transparency, and innovative outreach strategies to better serve all stakeholders. Um so that would the shortened version of that is that the communications committee's name will change um to a community outreach committee and then um the
041these action items would really fall under um under that committee. Um the fifth is that the school board will uphold a culture of accountability by actively participating in all facets of board work. This includes consistent attendance, preparation for meetings, transparent communication, and engagement in strategic planning and communi community outreach efforts. Goal three is that the school board will promote a district-wide culture of inclusion and success through ongoing development in all subject areas, student sp student support opportunities, social emotional learning, and through district-wide DEI work. Our action items there are the school board will review student success metrics. The school board will get an annual report from the leadership's professional development team focused on MTSS, the multi-tered systems of support and DEI initiatives. The school board will hold a minimum of two workshops related to this
042goal. Um, the school board will continue to build capacity and understanding about student centered work happening within the district through routine building presentations and the school board will developed and adopt a comprehensive definition of DEI that reflects the values and goals of the district. So, those are the goals we came up with. They're pretty hefty. Um, a little bit more robust than what we've had in the past, which is actually pretty exciting. Um, so do I have a motion to approve the 2025 2026 goals as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Is there any discussion? >> All right. Can we call the vote, please? >> Miss Jacobs. >> Uh, yes. >> Mr. Kellaher. >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockenstein? >> Yes. >> Mr. Pinion? >> Yes. Although I had a
043point of clarification. >> Oh, sure. >> I'm sorry. I should have jumped in before the voting started. Um the action item under the last goal having to do with defining um what DEI means for the district. Uh is there an I is there a plan to delegate that to a committee? Um or how I just have a question about about who's going to do that or when that work is going to happen. >> Um we are going to do it. We had discussed holding a workshop and so right now I tenatively have that for a December workshop for us to get started on. >> Fantastic. I just was wondering about that. Thank you. >> Yeah, of course. >> Yes, I vote yes, >> Mr. Penny Huff. >> Yes. >> Did we get we got everybody?
044>> All right, that shows unanimous. Thank you. >> All right. Agenda item 12.2 is the second reading of policy JJIF, management of concussions. And as Freela said, there's a couple of wording updates. So I'll turn it over to her. >> Thank you. So um we didn't have a lot of work on this policy um because uh first of all, most of it's mandated in state law. So it just wasn't a policy that we had a tremendous amount of the ability to change um because there's a lot of um mandates that have come down from the state. Um we did get hear back from folks who would be on our concussion management teams. That's our athletic directors, our nurses, and other individuals that we have that work closely with this policy. They had some concerns just
045that anybody who So, in this policy, if there's a concern that somebody has um has a suspected a concussion that they um they they have to be um evaluated by school personnel. If school person personnel are not a available because let's say the the suspected concussion happens off school grounds maybe not during the school day the uh school they wanted to make sure that prior to that student returning to normal activities and extra including school and then extracurricular activities related um that are also at school but um you know sports participation etc that those students would also be checked out by school personnel so that if for example somebody got injured over the weekend and they came in and said I that all cleared. I have a note from the ER doc who saw me
046or my nurse practitioner um that our school management uh concussion management team would also have an ability to just review what is done and make sure that they also concur that the students appropriate to return back to all normal activities. Um and so we we think that the policy does do that and takes care of that concern. Um we also made um some of the language more congruent. So, there was a couple of different places in the policy that stated uh school health professional, school health personnel, and we just made that congruent throughout. We chose school health professional because that was in the definition section. And so, we changed any any reference to school personnel, school health personnel to school health professional, and that specified um who can do uh some of this work and
047who might be on that team. But otherwise, um we didn't make a lot of substantive changes from the time um when we reviewed it last time. All right. Are there any questions for Kayla about the changes? >> I have a question. Um what you were just talking about u you know something happened off school grounds and then somebody from the school had to will that be a medical professional that is evaluating. >> Yeah. It would most likely be a school nurse. Um there's >> I just want to make sure. >> Yeah. In the policy it defines who is on that team and includes the school nurses and athletic directors. I just heard other people I'm like how would they be uh able to >> be like the athletic trainer or the full physician but not
048position. >> All right. Okay. Cool. That's >> the concern is if somebody has a brain has has an injury and it happens outside of the school. Um and they come back and they say we're all good. We just want to make sure that our our health professionals who will be the ones caring for the student if something goes wrong also sign off on them being good. um just in case uh you know making sure that students get the care that they need and are in the appropriate activities um before they return because some some people want to rush it rush back and we want to make sure that everyone gets the care that they need so that their brains can recover from what are brain injuries. >> Yeah. I just want to make sure the
049pressure didn't fall under Ray to make that decision. So like Ray's like what the I don't know maybe >> Ray has lots of hidden talents. I don't know if he's got a medical degree also. Well, and I asked a similar question because if you look at the members of the team, some of them seem to not fit on first blush, things like your school counselor, right? But what the reason they're there is because when someone's making a graduated re-entry plan, the counselor might be the person that helps them, right? But they're not the person that's verifying medical. >> Yeah. No, I asked the same thing. I asked >> John, it's a lot of subpar games that don't have athletic trainers at this, >> right? Yeah, it's a good question. All right. Do I have a
050motion to approve the second reading of policy JJI if management of concussions as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Is there any discussion? All right, we call the vote. >> All right. Miss Jacobs, >> yes. >> Mr. Keller, >> yes. >> Miss Lindstöm, >> yes. >> Mr. Rockinstar, >> yes. >> Miss Tarpenion, >> yes. >> Mr. Jupiny Huff, >> yes. Perfect. Thank you so much. That is unanimous. All right. Agenda item 12.3 is the ad hoc school building communications committee governance document. So we had um approved this just as some background. We had we the board had approved the document. Um we had asked for feedback from the committee uh prior to our approval and they did give it and it was incorporated and then the committee um started having some second thoughts. So,
051and asked us to relook at it. And um so what you're looking at right now is the the version that we approved with their changes, the committee's changes incorporated. So I'm just going to go through what they are and the rationale um and then we're going to revote on this. So the very first thing they wanted to do was change the name of the committee. um they wanted they felt very strongly that um the SBAC is well known in the community and by removing the word building from the name that it kind of separates them from the SBAC. And so they didn't want people spending more time wondering what happened to the SBAC versus focusing on what the work is. So um their suggestion was to change the name to school building communications committee. So
052that's the first change. The second change um is just the name again. The the next substantive change is the membership. So they um the committee is interested in having interested Scarbor residents apply. What however they want to be sure that there is an alignment with the goal of the committee which um and the duties and responsibilities of the committee which you'll see listed in just a minute. um and not somebody not have people who were on who were looking to come to the committee but not actually looking to do work and so that was a really big concern of them. So while they want to be they want to be open and will invite any interested resident to participate they want to be sure that they um that person will commit to the duties and
053responsibilities as they're listed. Um so that is that that's the big change there versus just anybody could come. Um they also have a provision in here. We had two school board members, if you recall when we first looked at this, the town council passed on participation. Um their communication committee met and actually decided it was a good idea for them to have a participant. So now there's two school board members and one member of the town council who serves on the committee. Um the next big change is a duties and responsibilities list on the second page. If you keep going down, Ray, there it is. Um, these are the duties and responsibilities that they um wanted um anybody who is going to be on the committee to be able to agree to. So, very quickly,
054that list includes be an advocate and support the mission of Scar Bro School Solutions Communication Committee. Do not take a stance on the referendum, but provide educational information on the referendum through the community. Attend all weekly committee meetings. Prepare for committee meetings by reading materials provided and completing all assigned tasks in a timely manner. Participate on at least one subcommittee. Maintain current knowledge on new school proposal with community input. Participate in recruiting new members. Identify sources of education for the referendum. Recognize the proper role of the committee and help educate the community about the referendum. Keep all confidential information confidential. and act in the best interest of the town and excuse self from discussions where there is a conflict of interest. So you probably see a theme in here. It's very important they understand that
055it is very important as a um schoolboard committee that they are an educational committee. They're not a um they're not an advocacy arm. They're not a um group that is that is working to advocate for a yes or a no vote. They are simply educating the community. And so that is the underlying theme of these duties and responsibilities so that somebody um either for or against the school doesn't come to this committee with the intentions of um running their personal opinions through. That's not what this committee is for. And so they're very very intentional with these about that. Um so those are the big those are the big changes. Um they're asking us to consider the changes and approve this document as they are presenting it. >> All right. Are there any questions for me?
056>> Yeah. >> I don't know if solutions here should be changed to building. >> Yeah, I that yes >> school building scar bro school. Thank you for catching that. building communications committee. Yes, thank you. So I updated that first duties and responsibility actually. Okay. All right. And any other questions? Thank you for that. All right. Okay. Do I have a motion to approve the ad hoc school building communications committee governance document as presented? >> So moved. Second. >> Is there any discussion? >> All right. Can we call the vote? >> M. Jacobs? >> Yes. >> Mr. Kellaher? >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockinstein? >> Yes. >> Mr. Trapinion? >> Yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff? >> Yes. >> Perfect. Thank you so much. that shows approve uh unanimous. All right. 13.0 is
057new business. 13.1 is the literacy aim module knowledge building project grant. So I'll turn this over to you. >> Yeah. For this I would ask Katie if she'd like to come to the mic um and share with you uh this grant opportunity and the work that was done. >> Yes. So um at 8 corner school they um put together a team to complete what the um MDOE put out for a grant. Uh the AIM literacy module knowledge building project was a grant for elementary educators uh with a specific focus on engaging in professional development based on the science of reading in the particular areas of phenemic awareness and bonics. Uh in order to receive grant funding, the school had to have a team of at least five participants complete the modules within the time of
058the project. At Eight Corners, they had a diverse team of five educators, Cassandra Salve, who's their instructional coach, Jennifer Fet, uh Fatagliano, their special educator, Tracy Seymour, their early intervention educator, Erica K, their academic support teacher, and Rebecca Savvante, their academic support um support staff member, worked together to complete the project. Um, so they completed the professional development modules in literacy and as a result of that were awarded $5,000 to spend on literacy materials um from the state. >> That is yeah um thank you for sharing that with us. Are there any questions? All right. Do I have a motion to approve the literacy aim module knowledge knowledge building project grant as presented? >> So move second. >> Is there any discussion? Thank you so much for that. That's really exciting. All right. Can we
059call the call the vote? >> Yes. Miss Jacobs? >> Yes. >> Mr. Callaher? >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockinstar? >> Yes. >> Mr. Pennian? >> Yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff? >> Yes. It shows unanimous. Thank you. Um agenda item 13.2 is the full plates full potential grant. >> Yes. Uh in your packet you'll see uh a letter from Kate Bolton. Uh Kate's here tonight. So Kate, if you want to uh speak briefly about this or not, that is up to you. >> Wouldn't want to deny her the opportunity. Ne never let let me say that I won't come to the microphone if given the opportunity. Um, Full Place, Full Potential. You may see their names in the newspaper in uh all kinds of articles around food insecurity in Maine. This is
060an awesome organization, working um at the grassroots level to try to make sure that um children in particular and families in Maine are not um going hungry. And so one of their uh projects that they do every year, and this is I think the third year now that we've been awarded a grant, >> is to make sure that summer programs are supported because a lot of times kiddos who rely on school meals um to stay healthy during the school year lose that opportunity in the summertime. So, uh, we're applying this $5,000 grant to, um, the, uh, backpack program because that's the easiest way for us to access families who don't automatically qualify for the summer programs by being in a school program during that those summer months. >> And that was a $5,000 grant, >>
061right? >> 5,000. Yes. >> That's awesome. >> Yeah. It's really great. >> Absolutely. We we love those guys. >> Yeah. Are there any questions for Kate? >> All right. Um do I have a motion to approve the full plates full potential grant as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Is there any discussion? Call the vote. >> Yes. Miss Jacobs. >> Yes. >> Mr. Keller. >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockensty. >> Yes. >> Miss Tarpenion. >> Yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff? >> Yes. >> Perfect. That shows unanimous. Thank you so much. All right. I'm going to bundle um 13.3, 13.4, and 13, the new 13.5. So, this is the first reading of policy KF, use of school facilities. The first reading of policy KFR, use of school facilities regulations, and the
062first reading of policy KFP, which is now called the use of school facilities fees. So Freel, I'll give turn it over to you. >> Sure. So the use of school facilities um just just goes over the rules um that we have for folks who want to use the facilities um that are outside of our school such as our turf um and other other things. It establishes a priority of that use. So obviously for school educational activities and school events, extracurricular activities, we get the first um kind of our our first priority. Um, Scarboard Community Services gets second priority. Um, and obviously, um, we're very close that our organizations work very closely together. We have a lot of shared services between us and and school facilities. Um, they run the after after square, sorry, before and
063afterare and other programs that a lot of our students take advantage of. Um then priority three is for organizations and citizens of the town of Scarboro um for activities um as long as they don't interfere with uh the conduct of school programs. Um and then we have non-residents or commercial organizations are the fourth priority. Um and that goes through all of the facilities that we have. So the use of our auditoriums um and and such. We have um prohibited activities. So there's the things you can't do sort of um and then um there's an application process about when those how to make the application, where to make the applications. They're all done online now. Um and that's uh a sort of automatic uh you may recall us adding a position or joining with the town
064and a scheduling position um for these facilities. And these are the policies that they are they're using to um decide who and how facilities get shared. Um that's that's what the the KF is mainly about sort of the rules and it has some you know some standard contract language about how to terminate these if the renter cancellations um written agreements uh and stuff like that. Um the other two policies that go with this which are KF um P and KFR. KFR the regulations um again it restates that priority 1 through 4 of who gets um prior priority in scheduling those facilities and administr administrating sorry administering the rental fees for those. um KFP um is the fee policies and um we actually as a committee um and a lot of thanks to Rey um and
065Diane went line by line through the entire um through all of the uh fees um and updated them and then and then touch base with all of the applicable departments. So for example, if you're going to rent a cafeteria, you have to have kitchen staff there. We made sure that the hourly rates um kept in line with our salaries which all have come up with our new CBAs so that um when we are renting these facilities, we're not losing money because often times we have custodial staff or we have kitchen staff that are um picking up extra shifts um and we're paying them over time over and above their normally scheduled 40 hours. So we want to make sure that our fees keep in line with the costs that we incur when we're using the
066facilities. So we spent a lot of time on this policy. It's a really technical policy. Um there was a lot of um consulting with other sort of parts departments um to make sure for example renting the piano and how much is tuning for the piano. So, it got to be we got really in the weeds in this policy, but I feel like uh the committee felt like we had kind of gotten to a place where um the priority is set, the rules are set and make sense, and then the fees also um have come up and are in line with what our actual costs are because we don't again, we don't want to be losing money on renting facilities to outside groups. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm happy to take any
067questions. >> Um just two things to add if I may on the fee policy Ray just discovered. Um, on page four under one, two, the third and the fourth line, food service worker, it says 4,245. So, >> that's a lot of money. >> Yes. >> I'm going to change jobs. Yes. So, we're going to um update those two to be $42 for the third the third line and the and the fourth line. >> That's the first. And then the second thing um I thought we should mention to the rest of the board so they kind of understand what's happening. It um inadvertently when looking at this we dis at this policy we discovered um a line in the the policy that says it reads I'll read it to you all fees generated by rental of
068the artificial turf field at Scarboro High School will be deposited into an account reserved for the repair and eventual replacement of the field surface. Um, so that was unbeknownst to I think all three of us on the committee. Um, I I Ry, we asked Ray to go back and find the account and see how much was in it. Um, and what if it had in fact because as you know, we had to take out a bond to replace the field. Um, we did, Ray did locate it. Um, it is managed by the community services department. Um, roughly it was $145,000 is in that account. it. Um the estimate was that it's about 5 to7,000 a year to maintain the field and that's generally what they bring in every year. Um so uh we discussed what
069to do with the money that's sitting in there. Um uh and ultimately it can't just be our decision. The town is a shared user of the turf and the the field. Um so where we're we're at right now is um we've asked the town to sit down with us and discuss um the next steps for that money. In addition to that, the other conversation we had was around um uh shared pieces of equipment, for example, the goals, this the lacrosse goals or the soccer goals um because we use them and community services use them. So how do we go about replacing those and who pays for it when they do? Is there shared responsibility there as well? So, um likely more to come on both of those um issue. We're just waiting to set a
070meeting right now with the town side. All right. Any questions for Frea? All right. Um, do I have a motion to approve the first reading of policy KF, use of school facilities, KFR, use of school facilities regulations, and KFP, use of school facility fees. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Call the vote. >> Miss Jacobs, >> yes. >> Mr. Keller, >> yes. >> Miss Lindstöm, >> yes. >> Mr. Rockensty, >> yes. >> Mr. Pennian, >> yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff, >> yes. >> All right, that shows unanimous. Thank you. Um, our new 13.6 item is to retire KF P, the use of school facilities policy. So, do I have a motion? Well, do you want to tee that up first why we're retiring it? >> Sure. Um, when we went through the policies,
071we we noticed that there was a dup kind of a duplication of policies. Um, a KF the fee schedule it is what what should be KFP. Um, and then we had another policy. everything in that policy um is is in our KF policy. So, it was really a duplicatus duplicatus or duplicative policy that just doesn't seem to be necessary and with the two KFPS was confusing. Um and with the fee being the most important sort of what the actual is we use P for procedure but what the fee is what the amount is to rent it. Um and KFR is the regulations on how to rent it. um the KFP that sort of that sample KFP is not necessary um to have and and again not helpful. It's confusing with what the way that our
072our policies are are written. >> Any questions for May? Um do I have a motion to approve retiring KFP use of school facilities? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Call the vote. >> Miss Jacobs. Yes, >> Mr. Keller. >> Yes, >> Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes, >> Mr. Rockensty. >> Yes, >> Mr. Penion. >> Yes, >> Mr. Penny Huff. >> Yes. >> All right, shows unanimous. Thank you. Um 13.7 is the first reading of policy, EAA, Student Transportation Services. >> Um so, this policy we've been working on all summer. We started actually um before school let out in the spring. Um, and we haven't changed a lot of the the policy. It's pretty actually pretty much the same, but we have made a a what I consider to be a pretty substantial change. Um,
073so our language on our current EAA is prescriptive in terms of the reasonable distance um uh at which point the school will pick up and transport. Now, in reality, our school offers transportation to all students. So, we don't use this policy as a bar to transport people who may live too close to the school. Um, but what we the what the committee is recommending is that we enlarge the amount that students need to walk. Right now, it's a quarter of a mile. We're moving that to a half of a mile for K through 5 and then a little bit more for older students and I'll get to that. Um, it goes to a mile for 6 through 12, for example. Um, and it allow it's it is permissive language. So instead of prescribing that um
074at this point you have to walk or or the board will uh will transport only at this point it allows for some um give um which essentially allows that it's no more than one we put in the term no more than instead of one mile. So before it read the district shall be 0.25 25 mi from the end of their driveway to the school for K through 5 and a half a mile for 6 through 12. And now it reads, "A reasonable distance shall be no more than a half a mile from the end of their driveway to the school for K through 5 and no more than a mile for 6 through 12." Um, other than that, there are no we we we I think we cleaned up a little bit of language, but
075we made virtually no substantive changes. The reason we're recommending that change is because um although we don't ex and and and we talked a lot about with with Diane in the committee meetings that we don't anticipate or expect any changes to me be made um we expect that uh transportation will still be provided as it has been. Um, with new schools coming online, with redistricting coming, um, we may want to move some bus uh, stops. Um, and this would allow more flexibility in the placement of those stops. Um, we did a whole evaluation. Ry again, uh, Ry always gets homework from the I feel like he gets a lot of homework from our committee. Um, he actually researched if if by enlarging these distances, we would be able to eliminate some bus routes, which would
076help us with our school bus shortage. Um it would however push that burden on to families um to be really clear which is something that we weren't super excited about but we wanted to be responsible um for uh kind of the the current situation which we have had a crisis um and shortage of bus drivers for years. Um and at times um school bus buses have had to double up and students have been late to school. that hasn't happened a lot in this district and we haven't ever not transported in this district. Um, and that I think is due to some extraordinary efforts of our transportation supervisor um and our transportation department which really does um an amazing amount of transportation without without enough resources and again not not resources from the school but just
077not enough bus drivers to transfer it to all our students. Um this uh would build in some flexibility to allow shifts in those bus stops. Um so that um especially as new schools I know that we're not the proposal if the recommended passes would not be to move any schools. Um but there would still be um some likely redistricting efforts and so changes likely to come and this would permit uh more flexibility in electing where to place mostly placing bus stops for students. um to help the district um and to sort of alleviate some of that stress on on the drivers shortage if we can. >> Thank you, Frea. Are there any questions for Frea? >> Do I have a motion to approve the first reading of policy EA student transportation services as presented? >>
078So moved. Second. >> Any discussion? >> Miss Jacobs? >> Yes. >> Mr. Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes. >> Uh Mr. Rockinstar. >> Yes. >> Miss Tarpenion. >> Yes. >> Mr. Trapini Huff. >> Yes. >> All right. It shows unanimous. Thank you. Uh 13.8 is the first reading of policy IHVB gifted and talented education. >> All right. So um moving into our older policies. This is one of our oldest policies. We looked at whether we needed the policy. I think one one of the things we um looked at whether to keep it or not um and I'll get to IHBB- ARC is we are recommending that we retire that policy next. Um but this policy when we looked over the sample policy this is there is a sample policy by MSMA which we looked at um and
079um you know I think I don't think this policy does a lot because there's a lot of regulation in law around gifted and talented programming. Um but Scarboro has always um um you know tried to kind of our mission and trying to support all students where they're at means that for students who um need extra um challenges in order to feel in order to be challenged in order to help them develop to their highest potential because we want to meet all students where there are. And for students who are gifted and talented, we want to make sure that they have um work that's appropriate for their for their skill level to help them develop. This would lay out the philosophy of the district and supporting that and the goals um in having educational programming for
080students who are identified as gifted or talented. Um and that goes beyond just intellectual talents. It also is creative and artistic challenges. And so this is it's a very short policy and it just it does that. I Yeah. So I'd happy to take any questions. >> Any questions for Frea? >> All right. Do I have a motion to approve the first reading of policy IHBB gifted and talented education? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Is there any discussion? >> Call the vote. >> Miss Jacobs. >> Yes. >> Mr. Kellaher. >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm. >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockensty. >> Yes. >> Mr. Pinion. >> Yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff. >> Yes. >> All right. That shows unanimous. Thank you. Um 13.9 is the first reading of policy KCD public gifts donations to the schools.
081Sorry, I trying to get back to my Zoom button. Um so we've had a policy um related to um get this right policy to diffs and donations. Um this policy tracks closer to it. It it it was an older policy and it was very ex um if you look at the old policy it's very specific in amounts and it's very prescriptive and exactly how this goes. Um the MSMA sample policy um looked I think better to the board um because it's more kind of it's it's kind of um was it was it's more vague but it's more open which is sort of this um it you know it allows us to accept on behalf of the school district money bequest property but it only if we deem it suitable so we don't have to accept
082it um in case we get gifts that are more trouble than they're worth. Um, but it's it's what it it pretty much makes the gifts property of the school, designates it for a school or department. So, for example, if we got a piano that we wanted, go to the right department for that. Um, but it also prescribes that only legitimate uses um are accepted. There's no obligation to replace a gift if it gets destroyed, lost, or stolen. Um, and that gifts are not accepted if they involve an excessive cost for maintenance or installation. Um but other than that, a board will notify in writing prospective donors if their gifts cannot be accepted and the superintendent will is obvious as as uh would would carry out the administrative process related to accepting any of the gifts.
083Happy to take any questions on that. >> Is this geared towards like things other than cash? Is that what we're talking about? >> Sometimes people give gifts in kind. Um, so like a booster organization might donate equipment for example like the the piano is the one that we were laughing about because a lot of people have pianos like oh well to donate to the school they'll love having a piano but pianos are really expensive to move and maintain >> and you want to have very specific pianos for the kind of service you know for our drama department or our music department um they they're going to be fairly picky in how and what instruments they want to take on because once you take on a piano you have to maintain it and they're very expensive
084to maintain. for example, as our fee policy that we just had first reading on has a fee for renting a piano so that we can tune it after a group uses it because if a drama an organization has a play and uses a piano for a run, it's going to need to be tuned after that. So gifts, you know, cash gifts don't come with a whole lot of cost, but gifts in kind do and a lot of people feel that, you know, may want to give gifts in kind. So it allows us to accept the gifts that are appropriate for us. But for gifts that may not be all that helpful or useful or may actually cost a school, for example, to maintain or install it, it would allow us to also pass on it,
085you know, with a lot of thanks in our hearts for people who want to donate to the school. We love that, but also making sure that the gifts are donations that we take on are responsible for our school to do so. >> Yeah. Another example would be the paint that Ace Hardware gave us for the Wentworth map painting that they did. They re they repainted the map on the Wet School and that was that paint was donated. Yeah, good question. Any other questions? All right. Do I have a motion to approve the first reading of policy KCD public gifts donations to the schools as presented? >> So moved. >> Second. Any discussion? >> Okay. >> Miss Jacobs? >> Yes. >> Mr. Keller? >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockensty? Yes. >> Mr.
086Tarpenion? Yes, >> Mr. Piney Huff. >> Yes. >> All right, that shows you unanimous. Thank you. Agenda item 13.9, no 13.10 is the um motion to retire policy IHBR gifted and talented education regulations. >> Um so as I referenced in the earlier policy for AI, IHBB, um this uh regulations adds nothing. Um it really it's a list of um of uh identifying abilities and then also a list of how those abilities will be measured. Um everything in this policy has sort of been abregated by state law which regulates a lot having to do with gifted and talented um uh curriculum. And so it's just it's it's just an unnecessary policy. It did it didn't add anything. >> All right. Any questions? Do I have a motion to approve um the retirement of policy IHBR gifted
087and talented education regulations? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> Miss Jacobs? >> Yes. >> Mr. Kellaher? >> Yes. >> Miss Lindstöm? >> Yes. >> Mr. Rockenstein? >> Yes. >> Mr. Pinion? >> Yes. >> Mr. Penny Huff? >> Yes. >> All right. She's unanimous. Thank you. Agenda item 13.11 are appointments. 13.11.1 is the physical therapist. >> Yes. Uh Elizabeth Mayhar has been selected to fill this new position. Um Miss Mayor earned her bachelor of science degree in health studies and her doctor of physical therapy from Simmons College. She has 21 years of physical therapy experience working in Boston, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, and Scar Bro as a staff physical therapist and a clinical liaison. I would respectfully ask you to appoint her. >> All right. Thank you. Do I have a motion to approve
