Reports <br />Liaison's Report <br />Dr. Snow Dockser reported on the recent SEPAC presentation by Dr. Olivardia on <br />ADHD and Dyslexia. She said it was very well attended. The attendees were <br />engaged and asked great questions. SEPAC is hosting another workshop on Basic <br />Rights this evening. The HRAC has been working on the Martin Luther King <br />event scheduled for January l0h. <br />Mrs. Webb reported on the November 30'' RCASA showing of the film <br />"Breaking Points" in the Endslow PAC. There was a panel discussion at the <br />conclusion of the film. Although there was a small group, the discussion and <br />questions were outstanding. <br />Mrs. Borawski arrived at 7:10 p.m. <br />Mrs. Webb said it is important for us to encourage the community to attend these <br />events. She believes RCTV taped the presentation and also encouraged the public <br />to view it if they had a chance. <br />Mr. Robinson also attended the event and said it made him stop and think. <br />Dr. Nihan is frustrated by the small numbers in attendance at these events and <br />feels we need to brainstorm to increase attendance at these events. <br />Superintendent's Report <br />Dr. Doherty reported that this is the third week he has held office hours and he <br />has had a few people take advantage of the opportunity. He said the discussion <br />topics have included special education, budget and technology. He has been <br />getting the word out as much as possible via his newsletter, blog and local papers. <br />He has scheduled two times a week, one being in a school and the other in the <br />Central Office. <br />Dr. Doherty next reported on the Youth Opioid Summit held in Lowell last week. <br />Members of the Interact Club and the Child Development class were able to <br />attend. The event was sponsored by the Wahlberg Foundations featuring the <br />viewing of the film "If Only" after which a number of speakers shared their <br />experiences. There were approximately 4000 students from area high and middle <br />schools in attendance. <br />Lastly, the Superintendent reported on the Rotary Reader Project. This initiative <br />has replaced the thesaurus distribution done in the past. Members of the Rotary <br />Club visit kindergarten classrooms and read to the students. The students are also <br />given a backpack with two books inside. The goal is to encourage literacy in <br />school and at home. <br />Page 1 2 <br />
