Recommended Procedure A. Public Input(I) Chair Caruso called for public input. There was none. B. Reports Students Page I 1 Student Representative Nastri reported that the Select Chorus had a very successful caroling fundraiser and today was ugly sweater day at the high school to benefit the Samantha's Harvest Club. Sub-Committee Mrs. Borawski updated the Committee on the Early Childhood Space Needs Sub- Committee meetings. The group held its first meeting in October and submitted 46 questions to the Superintendent. At the second meeting in December the questions were reviewed and goals for the group were established. The group will be moving ahead visiting the buildings in small groups, finalizing the Space Needs grid and developing a comprehensive communication plan. Dr. Snow Dockser congratulated Amanda Robinson and the students in her ILP class for all the good work they have recently done with the ringing of the Rocket Bell. She also updated the Committee that Rob Surette will be painting 4 portraits as part of the MLK Celebration and locations for the portraits to be displayed is being investigated. The Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation is donating funds, as part of their community grant program,to offset the cost of the Martin Luther King Day activities. Assistant Superintendent Mr. Martin shared that the first meeting of the Joshua Eaton Task Force was held. The group is comprised of community, school and district members. Information will be posted on Edline for the public to stay apprised of the work being done. C. New Business (out of order) Wood End Presentation Mrs. King provided a brief introduction of BOKS at Wood End. The program is made possible by a grant from Reebok to "Build Our Kids Success Through Fitness". The program was launched in 2009 and now has more than 1,200 schools in 48 states participating. Studies have shown that kids that exercise improve school performance. This before school program gets kids moving and brains ready for learning. Mrs. King introduced the Wood End BOKS team. Wood End parents Kelly Mahoney, Matt Brearley,Natasha Costa, Lisa Zucchero and Kerry Giordano have spearheaded the effort at Wood End. Wood End has received a$500 grant from Reebok that provided materials and equipment for the program. Four Wood End parents were trained as Lead teachers. Mrs. Mahoney described the Lead Teacher training that was held at Reebok headquarters. There was a four hour training session. At this training the curriculum and resources were explained and the group was able to network with other schools. There are online resources that contain tools and resources needed to run the program. They also discussed assessment tools and surveys for parents and students. Page 2 Activities are geared toward building teamwork, develop motor skills,build confidence,tolerance, empathy and respect as well as making healthy food choices. Mr.Brearley outlined a typical day which begins with an email from Mrs. Mahoney with the day's activities. The BOKS classes are held on Monday and Wednesdays and run from 7:30—8:10 a.m. Activities take place inside and outside and the cost is $50 for 8 weeks. The kids arrive and have free play. The session begins with a meeting and warm-up. Each class has a running related activity, a skill of the week and a class game. Each session ends with a cool down and`BOKS bit"which is a discussion on nutrition Natasha Costa. The students are learning about healthy snack choices and how to determine which snack is better than another. Mrs. Costa is teaching the students to read labels,nutritional information and serving sizes. Mrs. King thanked the parents for their support and dedication. Mr. Caruso asked about the age breakdown and when the next session would begin. Mrs. Mahoney said it was pretty even across the board and the next session would begin after the Martin Luther King Holiday. Mr.Nihan commended the group and appreciates that this activity will motivate students to get to school. He then asked if the activities were developmentally appropriate. Mrs.Mahoney said that skill level does not matter,the activities can be done by all levels. Mrs. Borawski asked if they would be able to accommodate an increased enrollment. They believe they will be able to handle an increased enrollment. Bella Bielicki and Ellie Mahoney are BOKS participants and enjoy the classes. They fmd them to be a lot of fun. Ms. Bielicki talked about enjoying the different games, learning to read ingredients from labels, and making better food choices. Ms. Brearley talked about working with kids in all different grades,and earning the sneaker charms when they learned a new skill such as sit ups. Dr. Snow Dockser asked what they have learned about health food choices. The girls shared that they have learned to read labels and know that if sugar is the first ingredient it probably is not a good choice. The girls were then asked if they are making healthier food choices. Their response was that they were. Mr.Robinson is thrilled with the program on many levels. He feels that the confidence building and teamwork are lifelong skills they will be able use. Mr. Caruso thanked the group for presenting and called a brief recess at 7:28 a.m. The meeting was called back to order at 7:31 p.m. D. Continued Business Full Day Kindergarten Option Dr. Doherty began the discussion reviewing the memo that was included in the packet. He discussed the full day enrollment from 2005 to the present and noted Page I 3 that the demand for full day kindergarten has increased on a yearly basis and this year is no different. He thanked the elementary secretaries and Mrs. Engelson for their efforts to ensure that we had the most up to date numbers for tonight. We have received registration packets from 294 families. He cautioned that these numbers will increase between now and August with families that are moving into town. We have not been able to contact 50 families from the census as well. He has concerns at Barrows and Killam with high numbers. Joshua Eaton's first grade will also require an additional classroom next year. He next reviewed the classroom needs for next year. Additional classrooms for kindergarten will be needed at Barrows and Killam. He then reviewed the options for next year. Option 1 is to develop a plan to build additional temporary classroom space for Barrows, Joshua Eaton and Killam. Part of this solution is to convert the multipurpose room at Parker into two classrooms to house Eaton students. Option 2 proposes spot redistricting of Barrows and Killam students. If this option is selected the students that are spot redistricted will in all probability,remain at that school for their elementary school years. Option 3 is to limit full day kindergarten and implement a lottery system. Discussion continued on the three proposed options. The Superintendent pointed out that he would like to, at the very least,use three modular classrooms and ideally would like five to address the enrollment issues. The School Committee would, after discussions with the Finance Committee,request a Special Town Meeting to vote on the appropriation of funds for either the purchase or lease of modular classrooms. Chair Caruso added that the Committee needs to work with the Finance Committee, Town Meeting and the community to be sure the space needs of the School Department are clearly communicated. The three options proposed are short term solutions and will allow time for the Space Needs Sub-Committee to continue to work on a long term solution. The School Committee consensus was to choose Option 1 without using the Parker Multi-Purpose Room in the solution. They did not feel it would be in the best interest of students to place kindergarten students at Parker. Ms. Colon spoke about multiple options her department investigated to address the space issues. She reviewed the cost and construction time for these options which included: (1) reconfiguring the Parker MPR, (2)purchasing modular classrooms and(3) converting the Parker MPR and two modular classrooms. A question was asked regarding the solution if Town Meeting does not authorize the funding. Dr. Doherty said there would be a lottery for full day kindergarten. Another question was asked if the use of modular classrooms would eliminate the need for integrated classrooms. Mr. Caruso asked that a discussion regarding integrated classrooms be put on the agenda for a future meeting. Page 14 Mrs. King shared that the integrated classroom setting has been a positive experience. Dr.Doherty added that teachers in the integrated classroom settings have become more effective. Dr. Doherty asked for direction from the School Committee tonight. He would need to know which option they would like to pursue. If the use of modular classrooms is one of the options,he would like direction regarding the number of modulars,the scope and cost. Mr.Robinson moved,seconded by Mrs. Webb,to direct the Superintendent to develop a plan to build additional temporary classroom space in the form of modular classrooms at Barrows,Killam and Joshua Eaton. Dr. Snow Dockser proposed a friendly amendment,seconded by Mrs. Borawski,to leave the option of using the Parker MPR in the discussion until more information is available. The motion failed 1-5. Dr. Snow Dockser voting in favor. The motion on the original motion carried 6-0. Chair Caruso called a brief recess at 9:30 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 9:34 p.m. III.

Doherty, Ed.D. Superintendent Topics of Discussion: I. Call to Order Chair Caruso called the School Committee to order at 7:05 p.m. Chair Caruso welcomed guests and reviewed the agenda. II. Recommended Procedure A. Public Input(I) Chair Caruso called for public input. Page I 1 Andrea Quirbach, Wood End parent, urged the School Committee to reconsider the reduction in paraeducator hours in the proposed FY16 budget. She feels their role is vital to the success of the students and the school. B. Reports Sub-Committee Dr. Snow Dockser reminded the community of the Martin Luther King celebration that will be held on January 19m. The event begins at 9:30 a.m.with a light breakfast and the program begins at 10:00 a.m. There will also be exhibit tables and displays along Main Street reflecting the theme"We Stand Together for Justice". She thanked all of the contributors that have made the purchase of 4 portraits painted by Rob Surette possible. The portraits of Martin Luther King, Harvey Milk,Leonard Zakim and Malala will be hung in the Schettini Library Media Center. Members of the Gay Straight Alliance and AWOD are researching quotes to be embedded in the portraits. Mr.Robinson reported on the recent Pop Warner banquet and wanted to thank RMHS Football Coach John Fiore for attending and speaking to the group. He spoke of the importance of teamwork. He thanked Coach Fiore for taking time to attend. C. Continued Business D. New Business FY16 Budget Presentation Dr.Doherty reviewed the makeup and functions of this cost center. He went on to review the strategic initiatives in this cost center which include the implementation of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics and Literacy, support Level 3 improvements at Joshua Eaton and across the district, develop professional learning communities and the implementation of the Massachusetts System of Student Support(MTSS)to address the behavioral health of all students. Dr.Doherty reviewed the drivers to this cost center. As with all cost centers, contractual collective bargaining salary increases make up a major portion of the budget. There will also be increases in the METCO and full day kindergarten offsets and decreases in regular day bus transportation, substitute teachers,per pupil building budgets, Virtual High School stipends and regular education paraeducators. Mr.Robinson inquired about the late bus for METCO students. Dr. Doherty indicated that it runs on an as needed basis. Ms. Sybert reviewed regular day staffing and the cost center by object. She went on to review the impact of regular day bus transportation reductions. The current contract cost for a bus is $52,200. We are currently entering the last year of a five year contract with the bus company. She reviewed the ridership over the past three years and it has remained fairly constant for both mandated and pay to ride students. Page 12 Mr. Caruso asked what the state mandate was. Ms. Sybert shared that we are required to bus any student grades K—6 that live 2 or more miles from their school. We currently have mandated riders on the Killam,Parker&Coolidge busses. Ms. Sybert is proposing an increase in bus fees to $450/rider with no cap to cover the cost of the bus. The Committee expressed concerns that we need to be sure that all students can get to school and we need to find a way to keep the bus transportation for the non-mandated riders. Ms. Sybert reviewed the proposed reduction in regular education paraeducator hours and FTEs. She reviewed the roles of the paraeducators which include before school, lunch and recess supervision, full and half day kindergarten and office support,teacher and small group student support and classroom coverage when a teacher is in a meeting. The possible impact of the reductions would include a reduction in teacher and office support, elimination of before school supervision and less classroom support. Dr. Doherty said these reductions do not include tutors and are not connected to the Extended Day Program which offers a before school option. Dr. Snow Dockser asked for specifics in numbers as far as positions and hours included in the $135,000. The Superintendent explained that he is currently discussing the reductions with the principals and what can be done to address the impact. He said that this is not a desirable reduction and a difficult decision to make. Mr. Robinson shared that it seems that every time cuts need to be made the paraeducators take the hit. The School Committee must look at a means to retain these positions. Ms. Sybert reviewed the proposed reductions in the substitute cost center. She said she and HR Administrator Micheala Saunders will be analyzing fill rates to determine what impact the rate increase has had and reviewing the current practices with regard to the use of substitutes for professional development. Superintendent Doherty spoke about the impact a reduction in full day kindergarten enrollment would have if we are unable to secure the modular classrooms. Should the district have to use a lottery for full day kindergarten there is the possibility of 80 families not being assigned to full day kindergarten which would result in a$336,000 decrease in tuition revenues. Along with that reduction there would be a reduction of 2.0 FIE kindergarten teachers and 2.0 FTE paraeducators. Mr.Martin presented information on the proposed addition of K—8 Literacy& Math Coaches. The positions will be funded as a result in the restructured professional development cost center. These positions have been created to support teachers in our transition to the new math and literacy state frameworks, provide in house job embedded professional development and support in instructional strategies and curriculum and work with the Professional Learning Communities to provide consistency across grades between schools and levels. Page 13 Mrs. Borawski asked how it would be determined which level will be targeted. Mr.Martin responded that the first couple of years the focus will be on the elementary level. The School Committee agreed that these positions are needed to provide support for our teachers in the classroom and hope they are sustainable. RTA president Chris Copeland asked for clarification on the tuition reimbursement line and if there was any change. Dr.Doherty shared that all tuition reimbursement across the district are shown in that line and that all contractual obligations are built in and there is no reduction in the teacher tuition reimbursement. Special Education Cost Center Dr.Doherty reviewed the makeup and functions of this cost center. He also reviewed the budget drivers which include salary increases, an increase in out-of- district tuitions due to known and anticipated placements and an increase in special education transportation costs. Circuit breaker reimbursement is decreased and the restructuring of how we use EMARC services also affect this cost center. The will be a proposed increase in the offsets from the Special education tuition account and the RISE revolving account as well. Dr. Doherty pointed out that there are no unanticipated Sped out of district placements included in this budget. Mrs. Wilson reviewed the special education programs and enrollment of the programs we have in district. She went on to describe the roles of the Program Director for Student Support Program and Therapeutic Support Program and the Board Certified Behavior Analyst(BCBA)that are being added as a result of the restructuring of the behavioral health staff and special education consulting. The program Director for TSP/SSP will ensure consistent social and behavioral supports are in place for these populations, coordinate the SSP/TSP programs at Killam, Coolidge and RMHS, create consistency at all levels, coordinate meetings with all staff to discuss student needs, adjust behavior plans and remain connected with outside providers, identify Tier 3 support through MTSS and assist in the development of parent outreach and support programming. This position is being created by the restructuring of existing positions. The second position (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is also being created by restructuring the Special Education Consulting line. We currently contract out for these services from SEEM and feel it is more cost effective to have an in house Board Certified Behavior Analyst(BCBA). This BCBA will assist in districtwide program development for students with behavioral needs, including students in the DLC, SSP and TSP programs, will complete functional behavioral assessments,will allow for more consistent access to behavioral supports needed to develop behavioral intervention plans and collection and analysis of data, oversee home programming and will build our interventions available through MTSS. Ms. Sybert reviewed the spending trends, staffing and expenses for this cost center. Mr.Robinson asked about the EMARC reduction and how it will affect the post graduate population. Mrs. Wilson said that we are looking at job coaching and Page 14 internships in district. We will continue to use EMARC services but are looking to eliminate duplication of services. III.
