Dr. Doherty said that most federal grants that we have applied for in the past no <br /> longer exist. He also shared the SEEM Collaborative has hired a grant writer that is <br /> available to the participating districts. <br /> Ms. DeLai responded to the data analysis question by saying that although it would <br /> be great to develop a relationship with colleges it would not meet what the district is <br /> looking to accomplish. The specialist would work with teachers to identify relevant <br /> data on student outcomes. <br /> Michele Sanphy, budget parent, applauded the administration for including special <br /> education needs in the prioritized list of positions. <br /> Mr. Croft closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. and called open session back to <br /> order. <br /> II. Recommended Procedure <br /> Reports (I) <br /> 1. Student <br /> Ms. Nastri reported on two band/color guard fundraisers this weekend <br /> including the annual yard sale and a hypnotist. <br /> Mr. Traugot reported that the winter athletics are in full swing and the RMHS <br /> Boys Track 4 x 400M relay team won the MA State Elite event, set an RMHS <br /> record and are ranked 9th nationally. <br /> Mrs. Janowski asked Ms. Nastri about the Real World Problem Solving <br /> activity. Ms. Nastri said it was a great experience and that there were a lot of <br /> positive comments made by her classmates. <br /> 2. Liaison <br /> Mrs. Janowski added that it was a fantastic event; truly a valuable educational <br /> experience and was impressed at the viable solutions the students had for the <br /> four problems. The four problems were: Core Values, the repurposing of an <br /> empty space at RMHS, making RMHS greener and connecting the alumni <br /> with RMHS. <br /> Mr. Caruso echoed Mrs. Janowski's sentiments adding that it was great seeing <br /> the junior class interact. The students were dressed professionally and spoke <br /> eloquently. <br /> Executive Session <br /> Mr. Croft declared the executive session is necessary to protect the litigation and <br /> bargaining position of the body. <br /> Mr. Caruso moved, seconded by Mrs. Janowski, to go into Executive Session <br /> to conduct strategy with respect to litigation, collective bargaining and <br /> approval of minutes and to return to open session at approximately 8:00 p.m. <br /> Page 12 <br />
