I would like to nominate Allison. Do I have a second? I have a second. Um, would anyone like to speak to that nomination? I mean, I I would be happy to. Um, with Allison's educational background and her her current work, um, being on the board for two years, um, I think she would help lead us in a really positive direction this year. Thank you. Do I have any other nominations? Okay, let's call a vote. All in favor of Allison for board chair, I'll just vote for myself. Tight brace. Congratulations. Here you are. Now the chair and you take over. Great. So
002when I missed that because I haven't done this all but once, just let me know. All right. So we also need to identify our vice chairperson for the year. Um so I would like to see if there are any nominations for vice chair. I will nominate Tracy Perry for vice chair. I would second that. Does anybody want to speak to that nomination? I mean, I think Tracy did a great job last year and I think um it's a good to have continuity in that position and I think yeah, it's happy to do it. Would you accept would you accept that? Oh, I mean the speech or you're out of the position. Great. Um can we take a vote? All in favor for Tracy as vice chair. All right. Three nothing. Okay. Uh secretary. Okay. So,
003do we have any nominations for secretary for the Brooklyn school board for 2025 to 26 term? Sorry. I would like to nominate Johanna. I will second Johanna. We have anything any discussion surrounding that we'd like to have. I mean, I think she did a great job last year and she keeps us all on track. So, we'll see how that goes. Were you secretary last year? No, I was the secretary of Yeah, that was me. Oh, jeez. I was I was secretary of another board. Oh, all right. So, um resend that assumption that she was secretary last year. Well, we're both we're both enroll so tag your on that. Rescend the fact that you did a good job. No, no, you did a good job with the SAU board. Yeah. No, that's I I know what
004you meant. Excellent. All right. So, um, can we vote on the election of Johanna to the position of secretary of the Brookline School Board? All in favor? All right. 300. All right. Can we appoint signers and manifest um members? Yes. Even if they're absent. Yes. Fabulous. I do need to come in and sign, but I did chat with I did on board Lynn. Heather's coming next week and so I already explained what the role is. Fabulous. So, do I need to make a motion or can I just appoint Heather and Lynn as signers um and of of the manif manifests with Johannes and she's the secretary as an alternate? Yes, that's well and I already said that I'd be willing to sign for the alternate and for the SAU. Do we need to vote on
005that or can I just can we just appoint it? You're appointed. Fabulous. That's helpful. But now you don't get signatures. Sorry. Yeah, you guys just as the alternate you can Do you want me to sign for the SAU board, too? That's in May. That's we do that in May. Oh, okay then. Never mind. I won't volunteer for that. I'll reorg in May and I will happily not be a sign of the manifest. I know I did it this past year. I'm good. That's okay. All right. Uh let's see. So, what I'm going to ask, I think this is the conversation that uh was lightly happening when I walked in. Um, there are several committee appointments that we need for the upcoming year and they're listed here in our doc. So, what I would ask is
006that you email me what you are interested in and then we can go through those appointments at the next meeting and I will reach out to Lyn and Heather for the same. Could I ask if anyone is really excited about being on the policy committee? What time does I don't mind being on the policy committee. What time does it meet and do I have to be in person? Um, it's a lot easier in person just because we're flipping screens and looking at multiple things. Um, historically we've met on Monday mornings at 9:00. Okay. So, I could do that technically in the fall. Right now, that would be tricky, but I don't mind doing it, but it's just I have Ashley in the mornings. I don't think she would be a benefit to the policy board
007meetings um because she just requires a lot of attention. So, um I I'm happy to do it, but just knowing that I may not be able to be in person until the fall when she starts full day. Is there a day that you can Thursdays? Thursdays I could be in because my husband's home on Thursdays. Okay. But you're interested in policy? Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, I would be interested in policy and that's fine. Is that one that we need to figure out for tonight? Oh, yeah. We have a ton of policy maybe a different time like we do like at 12 o'clock or what? Yeah, if you do it after I drop her off at school, that's fine. like on my list Monday. Yeah, she's in school Monday through Thursday from 12 to 2:30. Yeah.
008So, you could do it in the afternoon. Absolutely. Okay, that's fine. Yeah. So, I can do that. Thank you. I really appreciate that. No problem. Do we have to vote on that or is that another appointed appointment? Oh, Tracy, are you comfortable with that? Oh, yeah. Great. It was Kelly last year. Yeah, it was Kelly last year. All right. Are there any other that need to be dealt with this evening that can't wait? I think we're good. Okay. So, you guys will just let me know what you're interested in and then we'll we'll flush that out and it'll be yours if nobody else is interested. I want the teacher lunchon. If anyone takes that from me, I will fight them. I love it. Luckily, more than one can do it. Yes. Okay. I'm just saying
009I have a lunchon by committee. So, if they interfere with my system, they're going to just I made a spreadsheet. It's so much easier to just the spreadsheet. Do we have any agenda adjustments that we know? We do not. Okay. So I can skip all this. Uh we have or do I have to go to nominations and presentations? We have correspondence. We have um resignations. Okay. So I'll start with nominations. Uh do you have any nominations that you need to go through? Um not so much um as I'm going to be letting you aware letting you um know of some switches, okay, that would have been a nomination but won't be because they're internal. So, um, Stephanie Rogers is moving from full-time preschool teacher to halftime preschool teacher, halftime prek coordinator, which can I just
010say I'm very excited for that. She's going to be great and I'm really glad selfishly that she's doing it after my daughter left leaves preschool. She's still teaching. No, she I just don't know how Ashley would have gotten through preschool without Mrs. Rogers. So, I think that that's a real win for us as a district to be able to keep her in that role. Okay. And then um Alyssa Olsen is moving from halftime preschool, halftime to 1.0 prek. Also great. Love that. And then we also have um Kim Bodat moving from grade one teacher to 6 reading teacher. Okay. She used to be a reading specialist at one point. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Excellent. All right. Um, do you have any resignations? I do need to go over. Great. Okay. To the school board. Um, with

So we'll check on that. But um so we've moved to a new platform. So if you go to um sau41.org or because otherwise I'll keep plowing through this in this order and I don't know if that's right. It's probably she built it off of this. So if you go um under school boards there's diligent community. Oh, okay. See
019I haven't doc was like I had no idea we moved to a different I didn't know we moved. This is our it's not perfect yet. This is our trial run. Um one great thing about I guess this is communication correspondence. One great thing about delegate communities, it gives um the community the ability to sign up for notifications when agendas have been published. Oh, I like that. Y um and it also I know that some members were very concerned about the requirement to click on everything individually. So, it gives you the ability to go to print version, agenda, packet, and everything opens as one large PDF and you could just scroll down if you so desire, but it just so yeah, if we could because I definitely did not get an email about that. So, if
020we could Nope, I didn't. Yeah, I think it went out on Friday, but apologies. No, no, no worries. We always send it out. So, if you didn't get it, then just send me an email saying, "Why did I not get it?" Because I was like, "There it is. Um, we do need to move to non-public though then, right in this. Okay. So, uh, I can't make that motion. Okay, you can. See, we thought you were off the hook. Oh. Um, I would like to make a motion that the board by roll call go into non-public session pursuant to RSA 91A colon 3, 2A, the dismissal, promotion, or compensation of any public employees and RSA 913A 2 C to discuss a matter which if discussed in public would legally affect adversely the reputation of a person

Um, but before we do that, can I open public so that it because it has to sit open? Did we open it? Public. It already was open. Public comment. Public input. Can I Can I Because it has to be open for 30 minutes, right? All right. Do I need to make a motion or can I just say I'm I'm opening public uh comment at 7:11. Um and since
022nobody is here, we will continue on. Uh yes, now that we've had uh additional board members join us. Um yeah, I would love us to just do an introduction um kind of all the way around. We want to start which end do we want to start at? Why don't we start with Lynn? Excellent. Welcome, Lynn. Yes, welcome. Thank you. Um I'm Lynn Powers. I live here in Brooklyn. I don't know if there's a specific format for this for introduction just before you're a new board member. I'm new board member uh recently elected which I was pretty excited about. Um I can't wait to learn and and um help as much as possible. Uh I have two kids that do attend RMS. They're uh nine and seven. They're in third grade and uh first grade and
023we'll be r my third grader is obviously rising to CSDA next year. So, uh, it's it's cool to be a part of this to help them affect their education and make sure, you know, be a part of the community. So, great. Yeah. Welcome. Thank you. Johanna Shrivever Haligan, um, returning for my second year. Tracy Perry, returning for my third year. Allison Manion, returning for my third year as well. Gina Barks, superintendent elect. Hi, Lauren D. Lauren Darro, director of student services. the MLNI principal with RMS 10th year in the district and Trisha Poule principal at CSDA my fifth year and reach hiring in June and Donna Smith the assistant business administrator at SAU and I'm going into my fifth year as well. Excellent. Um before we move to the principal report I actually have two
024other things I have to backtrack to our appointments if we can because there's actually two things I need to bring up. First is um this board at the governing board meeting um the SEU41 governing board asked us to identify one board member to be present on the um current superintendent Corey's exit interview. Um and we do need to establish who that person is. Um did do I have to do we have to nominate? I know. I think that's an appointment, but I think just between the four of us, we need to decide who I think you should do it. Would be that. I mean, I'm willing to, but I want to see if any I do, but I want to see if anybody else is interested in sitting on that. No interview. Okay. So, that'll
025be me. And then the other thing that um I thought about it was in in terms of the committee appointments down here, what's not on here, and I don't know if we actually need it, so I'm just going to raise it real quick. um the town did okay us to do the study to enter the co-op um fully from K to2 and again just just the study alone and I'm wondering if we want to have a board member spearhead that and put that so I'm going to I want to add that to the list of um potential committees for next year so if you are interested from our board um when you email me what you're interested in doing from this list of committee appointments so I'm kind of for rephrasing that for you um
026and I'll reach out but add to that um the co-op studies So if you're interested in leading up that committee because I don't is that the Brooklyn Cooperative Study Committee under SAU41 governing board or is that something different? Brooklyn Cooperative Study Committee. Is that something or is that is that the is that what we voted for? That's it. Okay. I didn't see it on there and sorry I apologize. It's been a long day. Never mind. Okay. in you just basically email us and check. In that case, then I think we're okay to move on to our principal report. So, uh to our principles we go. Uh the first page of our principles report just has our historical enrollment history as a reference. And moving on, uh we have our highlights for we haven't met since
027what January I think deliver. So in February um we had some exciting events. We had Neil Stone has come to visit each of our grade levels which is really great because um he works on conduct and kind of goes along with our SEAL lessons that we're working on throughout the building. Grade two visited the um sea science center in Manchester. That was a great trip. I was able to go and attend for a little bit and uh they had some really great hands-on activities for the students. And then on the 18th at night, uh PTO did a bingo for books where they collected some books to prepare for the book fair that's coming up. And then February 19th, uh grade K had Lindsay and her puppet pals. There was a presentation uh in the library
028for all the grade K classrooms. And then grade three did some skits on special like our specials. So, our unified arts classes, we had a third grade class demonstrate for the students in the school what it looks like to be a model class during PE. And the class of the week would get a G golden sneaker and we're where it was it was a go a sneaker. I took it from home and spray paint through it gold. Are you put wigs on it? So, and then but anyways, we're going to continue that throughout the building where we have a golden book, a golden paintbrush, a golden that's musical instrument, and the class will get that announced when we're announcing all of our Blue Jays week because we want to um reinforce the positive behavior at
029our unified arts time. Um, also at RMS, we had Read Across America Week. It was uh really well done uh by our teachers and our reading specialists. I want to thank all them, but also all the students and families who um participated during that spirit week. Steam night was really a highlight for March. Um if you were able to attend, that was a really crowded night, but a really awesome night. And I was lucky enough to after school that day try out every mini golf hole. And I'm actually a pretty good mini golfer, but I did not play well on those holes. They were they were challenging. Um, but I really want to commend the students and the staff because the students um were very passionate about this project and it goes along with our
030whole country theme throughout the building. Um, they each made a mini golf hole that represented their country that they're focused on as a home room. So, for instance, if you were in Mr. McCabe Sergey class, they did a hole on Ireland, not their country because they're in the Europe part of the wing. And this project was great because not only were they using their critical thinking skills and problem solving and collaboration, but they were doing a lot of research and building. So it was really nice. And then Gay K had a visit from the Discovery Museum for Forces in Motion. And then in case you don't know, report cards are coming out on Friday. So check out your parent portal and I will pass it over. There's some nice pictures as well in the principal
031report. Absolutely. Excellent. And at CSDA while we're starting a we'll be having a school assembly tomorrow and we'll be giving out our bar awards. Um this month's um theme has been empathy as part of friendship. Um and again as Mr. already said our forecast will be out on Friday afternoon. We've also been uh CSDA has also been participating in read across America and to uh Friday's theme is to read my shirt. So if you have shirts with some great um sayings on it, we want to be able to read everybody's shirt or sweatshirt. Uh we also that's also the final day for our Kleenex Fox contest and that was um presented um by our librarian Alana Taylor. And you'll see further down pictures of all the students that had participated as of um the other
032day as of Friday, this past Friday. And some of the great creations that students made. Um there's dinosaurs, there's all different um references to various books that the students like, but it's amazing what you can make out of a Kleenex box. And I'm actually going to have the librarian hold on to those because in April, you'll notice that uh CSDA we're in in the green color of the um outline here. And we have lots of activities coming up, but the big one will be our curriculum and steam steam night. um April 22nd. So at that time we welcome all the parents and their uh children to come in and uh show off their curriculum and any steam or STEM um activities that are tied in with that. We will also be starting uh notification had
033gone out for grades four, five, and six on different dates when they will be having their community videos. And again, just a reminder that parents are welcome to contact our PE instructor, um, Mrs. Van Djk, if they want to see the videos ahead of time or if they want to, um, have any conversations with her about Is that one do they separate for those or do they Yes. Yeah, they separate. It's really about hygiene. Yeah. And understanding that as as you grow. Um, so that's good. Um, also we have um Peter Brown um a visiting author. Um he's the author of The Wild Robot, which is a favorite book of many students in grades four through six. And it's actually going to be through a Zoom, but we're going to have a um schoolwide assembly
034to attend that. Uh so that'll be fun. Um we also have the grade four historically each year, the Holl Brookline High School, uh Red Cross safety. Uh the students come in and teach safety and it's basically about home safety um that they explain to the students in grade four. We also have um uh further on in in May and June, we'll talk about that next month, but we have more um field trips coming up for all of their experience. Okay. And then one other piece um book fair next week here and then the state is assessing um or monitoring our district this year for state testing and they came for their first visit of two and the first visit was a wonderful visit. So that was a good report. Great. So what does it mean
035that they're So every five years they do an assessment monitoring of schools throughout New Hampshire for the New Hampshire staff. So it's grades three through was it assess? Yeah. What grade? It's three through 10 for eight and 11. Through eight and 11. Yeah. Okay. And then they come and make sure that we are following the procedures, the protocols, making sure people are trained. So just a quick shout out. I I don't know if we were going to talk about it, but the Wizard of Oz play at CSA. just wanted to say thank you so much. It was really really fun to see and the students seemed like they had a great time and so um thank you for putting that that on and putting it together. That's actually we have to thank the PTO. They
036did a tremendous job. Um and actually I founded my office yesterday. I was there late and I didn't see somebody come into the office and I was by myself I guess but they dropped off um a framed uh collage of all the sweet. So we will have that up on the wall. Well, thank you to PT. It was awesome. The kids did. It was very well rehearsed. They knew their lines, their And it was And I also appreciate um uh the family's um support in us having the PTO come in and have the students show various portions um to the students. it, you know, it gave them a lot of confidence and um the students love being able to cheer on and support their their colleagues, you know, or their peers, I should say. The
037kids were super confident. I was super impressed for like that age group how confident they were up on the stage in front of all those people, you know, the I don't know who the kids were that were the re like the the narrators. They were so funny. Oh my god. And there was actually approximately 200 um in attendance both nights. Wow, that's great. That's great. Kids can do amazing things, can't they? Thank you for calling that out, Tracy. That was really It's a big It's a big one. Um, great. Wonderful. I saw the puberty video for girls. I haven't seen it for boys, but it's very appropriate. Very, very well done. Great choice of a video for sure. Great. It's going to be a hard choice, but a good uh anything else from the principal's
038side? Excellent. Thank you for all of your work, you guys. We appreciate you tremendously. um calendar discussion for 2526 school year. Um do you want to take us through that? Yeah. Fabulous. So the calendar looks very similar to it always does. Um teachers would report back August 25th on that Monday. All students would return to school on the Thursday, August 28th with September 1st being Labor Day. Um we are looking at five early release days for students this year. um all but one will be on a Wednesday. And the reason we shifted to that is um um really for the purpose of co-op students. Um our co-op students have the opportunity as sophomores, juniors, and seniors to partake in career technical ed programs at NSHA North, NSHA South, and Alvin. And we are required to
039align our calendars so that we don't um force our students to miss more days than necessary. So Nasha has their early release is on Wednesdays and so I align them with those. Um but the January early release day is on the same day that our students are taking midterm exams. So that conflict would have existed anyway given the the midterm exam. Um what everyone wants to hear about is that the first PD day is November 4th. So that's the historic, you know, first Tuesday in November. Um, and the December holiday is a week and a half. So, our students would go to school December 22nd and 23rd. They would be off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and the entire next week because we can't return for just one day on the second. So, um, students would return
040to school on January 5th. So, a good chunk of time for family. Um, we have our historic voting day in Brooklyn. So, that's a PD day March 10th. And that puts um June 18th as the last school day for students with five snow days included. And then June 19th as the last um day for our staff. When do you guys anticipate preschool starting this year? It'll start the Monday after. After this. So the 8th. The 8th. Okay. So are there any other questions on calendar concerns? So I know there was there was some a question after we did this last year. So just want to very definitively state that right now the last day of school is June 18th 2026 pending future snow days. There was some questions I remember last year about this. So
041that includes five snow days. So yes that includes snow days. Example this year I mean we can't call the last day yet. However, no because it's supposed to snow it snowed on Monday. So um anyway if we don't have any more snow days we've had two. So that would put our last day of school for students on June 17th. On the calendar, it goes all the way out to the 20th. Yes. So I think um once we get a more definitive date, definitely we'll just want to pass that information around because I know of course. Yeah, we Yeah, that was a big topic of Definitely don't call it in March though. That would just that would curse us. So we definitely don't want to do that. Yeah. So no, that's the 18th assuming we use
042five snow days. Five snow days. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Any other questions around the calendar? Okay, let's move on to revenue uh the revenue and expense report, please. Okay, so as you look at the March 6th revenue expense report, you'll see that we still are in a deficit with our expenses. Um the deficit is due to contracted special ed staffing and placement changes. Um there hasn't been a lot of change since our last report. So we still are looking at the fact that we would um use I lost my Here we go. um we would have to use our special education um expendable trust fund to help cover the deficit as well as some of the retain fund balance.
