Superintendent — Dr. Milaschewski thanked SEPAC for their leadership and <br />partnership in the community. The first Math Pathways Committee meeting took <br />place tonight which will happen over the next few weeks with a presentation to the <br />School Committee in November. There was a great show of support to join the <br />committee and we appreciate the community stepping up to volunteer. As one <br />piece of feedback, we will create a page on our website specifically for Math <br />Pathways and updates can be found there. <br />2. Liaison/Sub-Committee <br />a. Mrs. Nazzaro—The Killam School Building Committee has shared the request <br />for services bid proposal and we should receive bids back by October 11t'. <br />b.

Mr. Wise—The schools received a little spotlight at the Select Board meeting <br />last week from Senator Jason Lewis highlighting the elementary literacy work <br />we have been doing and how he looks to us as a model. It was great for him <br />to publicly acknowledge the work we are doing. <br />C. Personnel <br />1. New Leadership Introductions & Entry Plan Reviews <br />Dr. Milaschewski stated good leadership really matters and we are excited to have our <br />new leaders joining us this evening to highlight some of their skills. We thank you for <br />stepping up to be leaders in our community. Four of the new leaders who had to create <br />entry plans, two being formally published for the community and two being kept more <br />internally for the team, will introduce themselves tonight. We will also introduce other <br />new leaders across the district holding critical leadership roles. <br />The Director of RISE, Ms. Kerry Wilcox, introduced herself to the committee and <br />discussed her approach to entry since joining in July. A program like RISE is always busy, <br />but Ms. Wilcox has jumped in and is trying to learn about the community values and all <br />the different members of the community. Mr. Wise asked how Ms. Wilcox navigated the <br />multi -location elements of RISE. While it is a challenge, Ms. Wilcox is connecting with <br />Ms. Fulton and Ms. Schwartz as building leaders as much as possible to keep them <br />updated. <br />The Principal of Killam Elementary School, Ms. Lindsey Fulton, introduced herself to the <br />committee stating in preparation for tonight she reviewed her plan and recognized what <br />has already been accomplished. Phase One of the plan was all about relationship <br />building and getting to know staff, families, and the building which has been very <br />successful. In August, Ms. Fulton held 20 -minute listening sessions with staff, met with <br />stakeholders involved in the Killam School Building Project, and held a Popsicle Party. <br />Page 12 <br />
