Appointment of Superintendent to Collaborative Boards (A) <br />Ms. Gaffen motioned to appoint Dr. Milaschewski, the Superintendent of Reading Public <br />Schools, to the Board of Directors of the SEEM Collaborative and the North Shore <br />Education Consortium according to MGL, Chapter 40, Section 4e, seconded by Ms. <br />Nazzaro, vote passed 5-0. <br />2. Superintendent Review Timeline Discussion (A) <br />A memo in the packet outlines some options for the review timeline. Historically, the <br />committee has done one-year reviews. The second option would be a two-year review <br />with a formative review May/lune 2024 and summative review in May/June 2025 <br />review. Mr. Brandt noted it is a high-energy year and so he is inclined to stick to a one- <br />year cycle as it will be an impactful year. Ms. McLaughlin agreed in favor of a one-year <br />cycle given the points Mr. Brandt made. Ms. Gaffen noted a two-year cycle formative <br />review in May/June would be an opportunity to give clear feedback. Ms. Nazzaro is <br />inclined to vote for a two-year cycle as there are checkpoints that stay consistent <br />allowing for consistent feedback to be given. Mr. Wise would default to a one-year cycle <br />and raise the bar on the categories reviewed. Mr. Brandt noted there are elements of <br />Dr. Milaschewski s contract that are dependent on a one-year review. <br />Page 1 2 <br />
