00:01:24,42 --> 00:01:31,35
students two from Marshfield High School
who just got back from the Y.M.C.A.'s

17
00:01:31,65 --> 00:01:37,54
conference on national affairs this is the
national program National Conference of

18
00:01:37,55 --> 00:01:41,94
the youth and government program which has
about twenty five thousand participants

19
00:01:41,95 --> 00:01:48,07
nationwide every year about eight hundred
fifty of them are chosen collectively

20
00:01:48,08 --> 00:01:52,69
twenty five per state to go down to the
conference on national affairs and

21
00:01:52,70 --> 00:01:56,59
represent their state meet people from
other states and debate proposals that

22
00:01:56,60 --> 00:02:02,71
they've written on national or international
importance. Full disclosure I. I

23
00:02:02,72 --> 00:02:06,96
absolutely love being on the school committee
but my favorite thing that I do with

24
00:02:06,97 --> 00:02:10,28
marshal public schools the being the advisor
for the marshal you think government

25
00:02:10,29 --> 00:02:16,39
program these are five of my twenty eight
fantastic kids so excited to have the

26
00:02:16,40 --> 00:02:21,44
opportunity to bring them in today I think
you guys will find that they know more

27
00:02:21,45 --> 00:02:26,25
about parliamentary procedure than any
of us and that they're far more eloquent

28
00:02:26,26 --> 00:02:30,48
than any of us could hope to be and that
they're all under the age of eighteen

29
00:02:30,49 --> 00:02:36,73
which makes it all that much more impressive.
They are an embodiment of the motto

30
00:02:36,74 --> 00:02:40,28
the creed of the youth and government
programs nationwide which is democracy must

31
00:02:40,29 --> 00:02:45,57
be learned by each generation they carry
that forward and we're here to hear from

32
00:02:45,58 --> 00:02:50,35
them and and hear about the experience that
they had their seven days representing

33
00:02:50,59 --> 00:02:54,49
their town and their state at the conference
on national affairs and before I turn

34
00:02:54,50 --> 00:03:00,45
it over to them it should be noted that as
I said each state only sends twenty five

35
00:03:00,88 --> 00:03:07,10
up to twenty five kids there that's the
limit. Seven of the twenty five coming from

36
00:03:07,11 --> 00:03:11,90
Marshfield is quite an impressive feat.
Looking at the fact that we have

37
00:03:11,91 --> 00:03:17,11
delegations from every corner of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. To students

38
00:03:17,12 --> 00:03:21,45
Michelle who won't go and Emma Murphy could
not be with us tonight but I'm going to

39
00:03:21,46 --> 00:03:26,10
turn it over to these five fine young men
sitting in front of us I'm going to ask

40
00:03:26,11 --> 00:03:29,99
them to introduce themselves like they
would do when they were at Kona So we'll

41
00:03:30,00 --> 00:03:32,68

52
00:04:13,06 --> 00:04:15,49
put together a presentation
for us and you have

53
00:04:15,67 --> 00:04:20,90
a few things to talk to us about so fire
away the floor is yours. Oh I'm going on

54
00:04:20,91 --> 00:04:25,60
Dominick and I'm going to talk about
the selection and preparation of the

55
00:04:25,61 --> 00:04:31,84
conference and for our Massachusetts
delegation so we had an application process

56
00:04:31,88 --> 00:04:36,89
and we submitted those in March and at
the end of the state conference the top

57
00:04:36,90 --> 00:04:42,76
twenty five students of the Massachusetts.
You think government program were

58
00:04:42,77 --> 00:04:49,39
announced to go to. North Carolina the
Blue Ridge assembly in North Carolina so

59
00:04:49,40 --> 00:04:55,43
there are over two hundred students and
the State Conference and only twenty five

60
00:04:55,44 --> 00:05:00,78
are selected to go to the national and
we had students at all grades in at all

61
00:05:00,79 --> 00:05:05,42
levels of leadership and seventy seven out
of the twenty five were from Marshfield

62
00:05:05,82 --> 00:05:11,17
which is the largest number from one state
delegation so to prepare we had four

63
00:05:11,18 --> 00:05:15,76
Massachusetts delegation meetings at first
we didn't know each other while the

64
00:05:15,77 --> 00:05:21,67
other Massachusetts two kids we had created
some group chats but they were kind of

65
00:05:21,68 --> 00:05:26,60
awkward and that definitely changed by the
end of it we were all like one family we

66
00:05:26,61 --> 00:05:30,78
started out with some team building we
talked about different proposal ideas so

67
00:05:31,78 --> 00:05:32,36
this could be

68
00:05:32,37 --> 00:05:36,63
a national or international importance
little different from Bill Ike and the State

69
00:05:36,64 --> 00:05:39,67
Conference on legislation where
this could be something like

70
00:05:39,68 --> 00:05:45,61
a UN. Proposal or it could be an amendment
to the Constitution or it could be.

71
00:05:46,73 --> 00:05:50,83
A law in Congress then we talked about
Committee prop and learned about

72
00:05:50,84 --> 00:05:57,49
parliamentary procedure and how you
recognize. Finally we designed

73
00:05:57,90 --> 00:06:03,17
some fun things so each state trade
shirts and so we designed a J.F.K.

74
00:06:03,18 --> 00:06:07,64
Shirt for the one hundredth anniversary
of his birthday. I would I would like to

75
00:06:07,65 --> 00:06:13,01
say it was the most popular shirt and to
trade. And we were really proud of it and

76
00:06:13,02 --> 00:06:16,79
so we had twenty two kids probably twenty
one liberals and one conservative from

77
00:06:16,80 --> 00:06:19,13
across the commonwealth and we hopped on

78
00:06:19,14 --> 00:06:25,08
a plane. Unaware of the different beliefs
food perspectives and people we're about

79
00:06:25,09 --> 00:06:31,16
to me and bond with for the next week. Think
you know going to go next just to jump

80
00:06:31,17 --> 00:06:34,85
in for a second the J.F.K. Shirt that we
brought with us was based off of a J.F.K.

81
00:06:34,86 --> 00:06:38,40
Shirt that Dominic brought to one of the
meetings so I was really popular down

82
00:06:38,41 --> 00:06:43,13
there he was our inspiration that one. I
would just like to note that my allergies

83
00:06:43,14 --> 00:06:46,13
are kicking in today so if you can bear
with me on the grid Oh you're just getting

84
00:06:46,14 --> 00:06:51,92
emotional. So I'm going to talk about the
proposals that we all wrote for the say

85
00:06:51,93 --> 00:06:56,07
conference we all wrote about things that
would be. More political to the state and

86
00:06:56,08 --> 00:07:00,99
state government so for Kona we had to
write about something more broad something

87
00:07:01,00 --> 00:07:01,86
that would apply to

88
00:07:01,87 --> 00:07:05,86
a whole nation so if you want to just
stop and introduce what we wrote about my

89
00:07:05,87 --> 00:07:11,74
bill of ban hydraulic fracking. My proposal
was to give us territories and federal

90
00:07:11,75 --> 00:07:17,60
district records and. I mine was to
reenter the transpacific partnership.

91
00:07:18,70 --> 00:07:22,35
My proposal was reforming the way the
federal government handles Marijuana Laws

92
00:07:22,36 --> 00:07:25,34
that there be enough standards that the
states could keep doing their thing it

93
00:07:25,35 --> 00:07:30,51
would actually work. My proposal was
reforming campaign finance laws.

94
00:07:32,23 --> 00:07:38,17
So to generate our bills we had four pretty
ledges preparation sessions to go to

95
00:07:38,18 --> 00:07:42,31
Kona with all the kids from Massachusetts
who are really prepared our bills and

96
00:07:43,10 --> 00:07:47,46
finalized them and we got down to North
Carolina we started off with these things

97
00:07:47,47 --> 00:07:52,49
called proposal sharing groups which about
one person from every state not with

98
00:07:52,50 --> 00:07:56,26
a small group and kind of introduce their
idea and everyone else would give them

99
00:07:56,27 --> 00:08:00,17
constructive criticism to help them move
through the committees and then move into

100
00:08:00,21 --> 00:08:01,29
first committee which is

101
00:08:01,30 --> 00:08:07,39
a small room of the twenty people. Only
thirty three percent of the people who are

102
00:08:07,40 --> 00:08:11,08
in there moved on to second committee and
that goes on and on until third committee

103
00:08:11,72 --> 00:08:14,99
which is let's say about
one hundred kids or so and

104
00:08:15,00 --> 00:08:16,69
a small portion of kids
move on from there it's

105
00:08:16,70 --> 00:08:21,39
a general assembly which is half the people
in the nation and there's two general

106
00:08:21,40 --> 00:08:25,87
assemblies. Then the people who move on
from the GOING TO plenary session which is

107
00:08:25,88 --> 00:08:29,50
every single person in the nation so one
person will be presenting in front of

108
00:08:29,51 --> 00:08:33,67
seven hundred about seven hundred people
of the nation and hearing everyone's

109
00:08:33,68 --> 00:08:38,33
proposals give an insight on what topics
people are passionate about and sometimes

110
00:08:38,34 --> 00:08:41,99
driven from what people can see and are
experiencing in their own respective states

111
00:08:42,89 --> 00:08:49,60
a. Very good. Hello again
so I was want to talk about

112
00:08:49,89 --> 00:08:52,93
all the people that we get to meet at
throughout this program from all across the

113
00:08:52,94 --> 00:08:58,06
country and I found you think government
at all levels the programming is amazing

114
00:08:58,17 --> 00:09:01,55
but it really can't compare to the groups
of people that you're introduced to it's

115
00:09:01,56 --> 00:09:05,34
some of the most incredible people from all
across the nation all across the states

116
00:09:05,85 --> 00:09:09,67
and it's so hard for everyone to get there
that everyone is incredibly kind to each

117
00:09:09,68 --> 00:09:10,15
other to

118
00:09:10,16 --> 00:09:14,22
a point that I've never seen replicated
in any other capacity or in my freshman

119
00:09:14,23 --> 00:09:19,21
year as soon as Texas rolled up I was really
convinced that they were going to hate

120
00:09:19,22 --> 00:09:23,80
me just text and that's two sets are not
the best of friends historically but we

121
00:09:23,81 --> 00:09:27,23
help them move their luggage their room and
everyone's mediately kind to me I know

122
00:09:27,33 --> 00:09:30,91
a lot of us are going up on Wednesday to
meet with the governor you governor of

123
00:09:30,92 --> 00:09:35,46
Texas he's coming through Massachusetts
again and then it's really interesting to

124
00:09:35,47 --> 00:09:38,25
see how people from all
across the nation bring

125
00:09:38,29 --> 00:09:42,15
a wide variety of perspectives people
their most passionate issue things that

126
00:09:42,16 --> 00:09:45,26
affect them every day will be something
you never considered before in your life

127
00:09:45,27 --> 00:09:48,64
and it really is eye opening to see things
that you've already thought about from

128
00:09:48,65 --> 00:09:53,09
a new angle or things you've never thought
about. Being introduced to for the first

129
00:09:53,10 --> 00:09:58,77
time and also it's really interesting to
see you know some kids will kind of be

130
00:09:58,78 --> 00:10:03,44
stereotypes in their states and then some
kids will totally blow you away of we had

131
00:10:03,57 --> 00:10:06,23
I think one of the most conservative
people at the conference was one of our

132
00:10:06,24 --> 00:10:07,84
friends from Massachusetts I went there is

133
00:10:07,85 --> 00:10:11,71
a kid from Alabama who
quoted Hillary Clinton in

134
00:10:11,72 --> 00:10:16,52
a speech where he was defending the need
to do more training for police officers so

135
00:10:16,53 --> 00:10:21,79
it's really. A range that you never
expect and with that thank you.

136
00:10:23,64 --> 00:10:27,29
Before you start this boy do you know this
young man who's about to start speaking

137
00:10:28,19 --> 00:10:32,49
just like to congratulate our fellow
school committee member her oldest son.

138
00:10:38,70 --> 00:10:41,47
I'm just going to talk about how we as

139
00:10:41,48 --> 00:10:46,78
a Massachusetts delegation bonded together
during the conference some of the ways

140
00:10:46,79 --> 00:10:53,68
we did this were through our nightly
roundtable discussions also during lunch each

141
00:10:53,69 --> 00:10:59,84
day in other meals like breakfast and
dinner and also some of the recreational

142
00:10:59,85 --> 00:11:06,47
activities. So for each round table discussion
we kind of this reflected on the day

143
00:11:06,47 --> 00:11:08,20
. We had

144
00:11:08,21 --> 00:11:15,03
a roundtable leader our
friend. And it was kind of

145
00:11:15,04 --> 00:11:21,16
a way to get to know everyone's different
personalities from each. Of their you

146
00:11:21,17 --> 00:11:23,87
know person actives and it was

147
00:11:23,88 --> 00:11:28,55
a good way to get to know everyone on their
way there where we bonded was through

148
00:11:28,68 --> 00:11:32,91
the meals where we got they got close when
we started like chanting and somebody

149
00:11:32,92 --> 00:11:38,83
delegations. Back and forth like I know
it's the truth as we started chanting like

150
00:11:38,93 --> 00:11:45,74
we have Brady Tom Brady and. Booing
from the delegations for that

151
00:11:45,75 --> 00:11:52,58
one. Kind of brought us all
together. Another way was truly

152
00:11:52,59 --> 00:11:54,74
recreational activities one
of the days there were

153
00:11:55,21 --> 00:12:02,02
a couple of options for recreational
use to fill up. A five hour time

154
00:12:02,03 --> 00:12:08,79
slot. I know most of us here. Chose
the hike up the mountain we are on.

155
00:12:09,84 --> 00:12:15,70
And I know that I mean. Different groups
but I know the people I was taking with

156
00:12:16,00 --> 00:12:19,93
that was there and there's another
kid from Massachusetts from

157
00:12:19,94 --> 00:12:26,60
a different town named Andrew Tran end. I
don't really know very well before that

158
00:12:26,61 --> 00:12:33,59
only got to know each other and. We
got to know other people too of other

159
00:12:33,60 --> 00:12:37,45
states but. Socially the Massachusetts.

160
00:12:43,05 --> 00:12:49,76
So my category let me reintroduce
myself. A master is. My

161
00:12:49,77 --> 00:12:56,43
category was takeaways from the trip.
Which is tough because everybody

162
00:12:56,44 --> 00:13:02,11
has different takeaways because they you
know it is different but I think as

163
00:13:02,12 --> 00:13:07,97
a delegation from Massachusetts we
left the conference with. You know

164
00:13:07,98 --> 00:13:14,50
a sense of pride because we had you know
one presiding officer elected from the

165
00:13:14,51 --> 00:13:17,51
Marshfield Massachusetts
which essentially is when

166
00:13:17,55 --> 00:13:21,62
a senior does perform truly well at the
conference and they come back after their

167
00:13:21,63 --> 00:13:26,14
first year in college and preside over the
whole conference and run the different

168
00:13:26,15 --> 00:13:31,31
committees and how to run smoothly so we
had one presiding officer and then we had

169
00:13:31,32 --> 00:13:37,58
an alternate presiding officer as well we
had one outstanding statesman I believe

170
00:13:37,81 --> 00:13:43,43
and then we actually won premier delegation
Massachusetts did and seeing that we

171
00:13:43,47 --> 00:13:47,20
make up seven of twenty two
of the kids you know that's

172
00:13:47,21 --> 00:13:52,90
a good accomplishment for not only
Massachusetts but Marshfield as well. But you

173
00:13:52,91 --> 00:13:53,14
know in

174
00:13:53,15 --> 00:14:00,04
a more broad sense I think the takeaway
was. You know on the mountain we are all.

175
00:14:01,56 --> 00:14:06,28
Working together to better our nation that
was our only thing that we were working

176
00:14:06,29 --> 00:14:10,92
for it was to work together to better our
nation to share ideas to have them heard

177
00:14:10,92 --> 00:14:16,68
. In just that sense of community working
towards the greater good for all of us

178
00:14:17,31 --> 00:14:22,89
and not just our own specific goals or
passions it was it was about all of us and

179
00:14:22,90 --> 00:14:27,96
just promoting the general where welfare.
And I think they're going to that

180
00:14:27,97 --> 00:14:33,88
conference I basically got to see the
utopia of political discourse so to speak.

181
00:14:35,61 --> 00:14:40,06
And I just I come back to Massachusetts
wanting to spread that sense of community

182
00:14:40,07 --> 00:14:42,60
and working together with everyone towards

183
00:14:42,61 --> 00:14:48,55
a common goal so I think those my biggest
takeaway from the trip was just you know

184
00:14:48,56 --> 00:14:49,25
working at sword's

185
00:14:49,26 --> 00:14:55,76
a common goal not just for ourselves but
for all of us. Just top back in from my

186
00:14:55,77 --> 00:14:58,80
own side because I can't
stop talking but a as

187
00:14:58,81 --> 00:15:02,48
a veteran going back to the mountain
it's incredible just to see the personal

188
00:15:02,49 --> 00:15:07,51
growth that everyone goes in I think the
chairman can attest to you really don't

189
00:15:07,52 --> 00:15:09,72
come off the mountain the same
way that you went in and it's

190
00:15:09,73 --> 00:15:13,68
a positive change for everybody if you
come off being more educated about

191
00:15:13,76 --> 00:15:17,41
perspectives and policy but bigger
than that you come off just being

192
00:15:17,42 --> 00:15:21,62
a more confident individual in your daily
life and I've seen you know it's been an

193
00:15:21,63 --> 00:15:25,45
incredible incredible benefit to me in my
life but it was also amazing this year

194
00:15:25,46 --> 00:15:29,64
just to get to see everyone from Massachusetts
but I suspect especially one sitting

195
00:15:29,65 --> 00:15:34,23
with me and watching them stand up and speak
in front of hundreds of people like it

196
00:15:34,24 --> 00:15:37,41
was nothing and it just I'm really looking
forward to going to work with everybody

197
00:15:37,50 --> 00:15:42,48
in the coming year and going to see everybody
else grow it's going to mazing week.

198
00:15:45,22 --> 00:15:48,94
One quick question for you and your comments
but could you explain to the audience

199
00:15:49,59 --> 00:15:55,28
when you're doing this. You know what I
was going to bring confidence and hope to

200
00:15:55,29 --> 00:15:59,34
doing that throughout the state goes but
we good. Thank you public see what you

201
00:15:59,35 --> 00:16:04,49
were doing so this is this is fear in yours
and it's basically like clapping when

202
00:16:04,50 --> 00:16:05,99
you have to be quiet but it's

203
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:11,23
a way of just showing that you support
someone while they're speaking in that's

204
00:16:11,24 --> 00:16:14,42
essentially how it goes so you saw me
tossing of the spear fingers when I like

205
00:16:14,43 --> 00:16:18,48
something that someone says something of
that nature Miss Marple feel free to be

206
00:16:18,49 --> 00:16:25,48
very generous with the speaker.
Who. Can speak in the fall

207
00:16:25,49 --> 00:16:31,39
and I'm going to make the comment OK it
comes. It comes out of committee sessions

208
00:16:31,40 --> 00:16:38,29
because yeah. There is that.
We get it from beings from

209
00:16:38,30 --> 00:16:41,33
working in committees all day because
obviously you can't clap when people are

210
00:16:41,34 --> 00:16:45,18
speaking and they want everything to move
efficiently but being able to show you

211
00:16:45,19 --> 00:16:48,74
agree with someone without saying anything
is so useful that once we come back from

212
00:16:48,75 --> 00:16:51,72
a conference it's really hard
to stop doing it so you get

213
00:16:51,73 --> 00:16:56,72
a lot of weird looks for next
week's. We should do that you rich.

214
00:17:00,65 --> 00:17:05,02
Before I turn it over to the the membership
would like to just ask you guys very

215
00:17:05,03 --> 00:17:06,56
quickly what I should
have said before him just

216
00:17:06,57 --> 00:17:11,41
a few things is that first of all the
seven out of twenty five selected from

217
00:17:11,42 --> 00:17:12,15
Massachusetts that's

218
00:17:12,16 --> 00:17:16,68
a record Massachusetts has been going to
the conference on national fairs since one

219
00:17:16,69 --> 00:17:21,99
thousand nine hundred three and having
seven from one single school has never

220
00:17:22,00 --> 00:17:27,97
happened. But also like full disclaimer
to say that I went to the conference on

221
00:17:27,98 --> 00:17:32,91
national fairs when I was in high school I
got to go three times. I believe we have

222
00:17:32,92 --> 00:17:38,07
another three year delegate here Mr can't
well went for his third year this year

223
00:17:38,08 --> 00:17:42,36
and these other gentlemen all went for their
first year Chris is going to be vying

224
00:17:42,40 --> 00:17:47,57
this next you think Government year as
everybody knows because I say it practically

225
00:17:47,58 --> 00:17:52,50
every school committee meeting because I'm
just so gosh darn proud is that Chris

226
00:17:52,51 --> 00:17:55,76
can't well is the youth governor for the
Massachusetts you think government program

227
00:17:55,77 --> 00:17:59,31
for this upcoming year meaning out of his
hundreds of peers in the state program

228
00:17:59,32 --> 00:18:03,10
across the state Chris was elected to be
in charge of it Tom stop me if you've

229
00:18:03,11 --> 00:18:08,92
heard this before you know you get this
very late thank you so much. So it's

230
00:18:08,93 --> 00:18:13,29
a big deal to have somebody like that from
Marshfield and Chris will be serving in

231
00:18:13,30 --> 00:18:17,30
that role this year but he's also vying
to be out of hundreds of kids that we've

232
00:18:17,31 --> 00:18:22,40
sent to the conference on national affairs
over the last twenty four years Chris is

233
00:18:22,41 --> 00:18:27,81
going to try and be just the second person
ever to go four years so it's very it

234
00:18:27,82 --> 00:18:33,24
gets harder and harder that's right and I
think you can. I think he can do it and I

235
00:18:33,25 --> 00:18:36,70
think he can do it it's it gets harder and
harder every year so just the fact that

236
00:18:36,71 --> 00:18:38,37
he's gotten to your number three is

237
00:18:38,38 --> 00:18:44,73
a big you know accolade for him and I'm
sure your number for his is in the cards

238
00:18:44,74 --> 00:18:48,91
but. So now I will turn it back over to
you guys just want to kind of add that

239
00:18:48,92 --> 00:18:53,64
perspective not only. As their advisor
but as an alumni from the conference and

240
00:18:53,65 --> 00:19:00,64
having gone I think five times now is as
an advisor as well. So gentleman these

241
00:19:00,65 --> 00:19:07,21
people here might have some questions for
you. Or some general comments. Escape of

242
00:19:07,58 --> 00:19:07,81
course.

243
00:20:07,91 --> 00:20:11,54
It is my pleasure my pleasure pick.

244
00:20:16,61 --> 00:20:23,32
An. Obvious thing I know from Owen how much
work it is and how much hard work that

245
00:20:23,33 --> 00:20:27,94
all of you put into your proposals and to
the meetings in the prep leading up to

246
00:20:27,95 --> 00:20:32,12
the conference and so I think especially
working that in toward the end of the

247
00:20:32,13 --> 00:20:34,66
school year which is a
really busy time for

248
00:20:34,67 --> 00:20:39,07
a lot of people is an achievement and
I think it shows your commitment your

249
00:20:39,08 --> 00:20:44,22
dedication and that's going to serve you
well as you go forward in the future also

250
00:20:44,23 --> 00:20:48,39
like I'd like to think Sean I think you
know your your leadership and your

251
00:20:48,40 --> 00:20:52,55
mentorship of these students is incredible
and very positive experience for them.

252
00:20:53,58 --> 00:20:58,35
Thank you just get them to stop
calling me that will be. Good but.

253
00:21:01,77 --> 00:21:06,61
I just want to echo Bridget statements
as well in the summer and you're working

254
00:21:06,62 --> 00:21:09,33
really hard and you're
representing our community in such

255
00:21:09,34 --> 00:21:12,56
a meaningful way so I want to thank you
for that and I also think that if there's

256
00:21:12,57 --> 00:21:16,64
some way that we could share what they're
doing with some of our younger students

257
00:21:16,65 --> 00:21:21,73
just because I think. A lot of what people
and children are seeing and hearing

258
00:21:21,74 --> 00:21:27,30
about our government right now isn't always
so positive and I think you're being

259
00:21:27,46 --> 00:21:32,38
role models for some of our younger
students that coming would be angry at them

260
00:21:32,46 --> 00:21:39,19
I'll have to tell you trying to kill me.
Well no I do want to save quickly before

261
00:21:39,20 --> 00:21:44,69
turn it over to Mr Greer on that on that
point is the two of these guys on the ends

262
00:21:44,70 --> 00:21:48,07
here this was their first year in
the Marshfield delegation which is

263
00:21:48,08 --> 00:21:50,51
a big deal for them to make
common at all because you know

264
00:21:50,52 --> 00:21:56,11
a lot of people work for years to get
there. We had nine people in the Marshfield

265
00:21:56,26 --> 00:22:01,66
delegation last year and this year we were
the largest group in the state and those

266
00:22:01,67 --> 00:22:06,50
three guys right there in the middle could
be largely attributed to recruiting. A

267
00:22:06,51 --> 00:22:07,47
lot of good kids

268
00:22:08,42 --> 00:22:14,59
a lot of kids who are now the reason that
I'm bald but. The the vast majority of

269
00:22:14,60 --> 00:22:19,93
them are very easy to deal with so they're.
Yes Yes Thank you for that but so would

270
00:22:19,94 --> 00:22:24,16
like to it to just say that. Those three
of you in the mill you guys have recruited

271
00:22:24,17 --> 00:22:28,73
as well but the three of you specifically
in the middle. Have really grown it and

272
00:22:28,74 --> 00:22:33,03
we're anticipating we had twenty eight this
year and only six of them graduated so

273
00:22:33,54 --> 00:22:38,50
I would anticipate over forty people
in Massachusetts for my Marshfield in

274
00:22:38,51 --> 00:22:45,43
Massachusetts you can government here
disagree my fault. I won't reiterate what

275
00:22:45,44 --> 00:22:49,60
everyone else has already said the thing
that impresses me is the soft skills that

276
00:22:49,64 --> 00:22:53,49
all of you demonstrate that that's
something you can certainly teach in the

277
00:22:53,50 --> 00:22:58,71
classroom and that's developed in programs
such as what you're all involved in the

278
00:22:58,72 --> 00:23:03,92
ability to speak in public the ability to
be concise and in your thoughts and your

279
00:23:03,93 --> 00:23:08,21
ideas in the way you present yourself
look at the way you addressed those very

280
00:23:08,22 --> 00:23:11,68
professional so it's
nice to see that we as

281
00:23:11,69 --> 00:23:13,88
a district are able to provide you with

282
00:23:13,89 --> 00:23:20,76
a program where you can excel. Even even
in those areas. Yes very well saying and

283
00:23:20,77 --> 00:23:26,55
you're absolutely right to the presentation
it's unbelievable I mean I think if you

284
00:23:26,56 --> 00:23:30,88
heard Zach at Tridge talking on the radio
giving some sort of speech like he just

285
00:23:30,89 --> 00:23:34,39
gave and then they ended it and said that
he was in high school I wouldn't believe

286
00:23:34,40 --> 00:23:40,83
it I sincerely would not believe it is just
one example if it's amazing the poison

287
00:23:40,84 --> 00:23:46,64
the skills the students so just want to
know that I get to see them this spring in

288
00:23:46,68 --> 00:23:50,56
at the State House or if they were Senator
Cantwell and they were on the floor of

289
00:23:50,57 --> 00:23:55,02
the House and many of them got up and spoke
some some had roles when I was there

290
00:23:55,03 --> 00:24:01,30
some made comments from from their seats
in and yet the poise in the maturity and

291
00:24:01,31 --> 00:24:07,46
the thoughtfulness and everything to be
present it was just amazing to see and Zach

292
00:24:07,47 --> 00:24:10,92
you be glad to know that
you're being seen up

293
00:24:10,93 --> 00:24:14,58
a part of Education headquarters
this week and I'm part of

294
00:24:14,59 --> 00:24:21,20
a group of folks working on furthering
development strategic planning

295
00:24:21,43 --> 00:24:26,04
for superintendents infant school
districts in and Mark Fields as

296
00:24:26,28 --> 00:24:30,87
a pilot program this rain where we worked
on our strategic plan Zach with one of

297
00:24:30,88 --> 00:24:37,08
the student presented it and he wins here
in you know I remember all the hope some

298
00:24:37,09 --> 00:24:40,82
tenants the parents the teachers the
administrators where you know really

299
00:24:40,83 --> 00:24:44,52
impressive the way he spoke Well there's
about fifteen superintendents from around

300
00:24:44,53 --> 00:24:47,19
the state that are in this program
with me and they're watching

301
00:24:47,27 --> 00:24:52,70
a lot of what the film is part of the
training that we're doing and he's only in

302
00:24:52,71 --> 00:24:54,10
high school in the he's

303
00:24:54,11 --> 00:24:58,16
a junior in that they're all very
impressed so. Good job that.

304
00:25:02,03 --> 00:25:05,99
You know for the comments would like to
just wrap up by let these guys know once

305
00:25:06,00 --> 00:25:11,19
again and I try to tell him as much as
possible that I'm so proud of you guys I got

306
00:25:11,20 --> 00:25:15,44
the opportunity this was the fiftieth
conference on national affairs so the

307
00:25:15,45 --> 00:25:19,06
conference started in one nine hundred
sixty seven and this. As the fiftieth year

308
00:25:19,07 --> 00:25:22,19
that they've had this conference it
continues to grow every year and the kids

309
00:25:22,20 --> 00:25:26,55
continue to impress so these guys had the
added honor of being down there for the

310
00:25:26,56 --> 00:25:30,48
fiftieth and I had the opportunity the
pleasure to go down for the end of the

311
00:25:30,49 --> 00:25:32,74
conference and see these guys in action

312
00:25:32,75 --> 00:25:36,37
a little bit and meet with them on the
mountain and hear about their experience

313
00:25:36,38 --> 00:25:40,55
over the weekend it's clear
that not only were they getting

314
00:25:40,56 --> 00:25:44,50
a whole lot of out of the experience but
they were the driving force such positive

315
00:25:44,51 --> 00:25:49,97
contributors to the Massachusetts delegation.
So guys I'm so proud of you we want

316
00:25:49,98 --> 00:25:53,48
to thank you for coming in and sharing
this with us you guys as I've said before

going to continue to benefit students

318
00:25:56,95 --> 00:26:03,42

are still things going on though in going
to the audience this is our summer attire

327
00:26:56,16 --> 00:26:56,67
we've just done

328
00:26:56,68 --> 00:27:02,06
a little bit in the summer not sure if we've
heard from the meeting but. You folks

329
00:27:02,07 --> 00:27:06,10
know I think you've already inform you
that the high school has hired their new

330
00:27:06,11 --> 00:27:11,90
assistant principal. Who's replacing General
Brian retired after many many years of

331
00:27:12,35 --> 00:27:16,47
great service in the district but Miss
Kristen Brandt is going to be joining us she

332
00:27:16,48 --> 00:27:18,47

High School which. He's been

00:27:18,48 --> 00:27:21,40
a world language teacher she also served

334
00:27:21,41 --> 00:27:26,95
a year as interim or which department chair.
That she taught in Randolph for about

335
00:27:26,96 --> 00:27:32,07
five years so she has about. Ten eleven
years of teaching world language in I think

336
00:27:32,08 --> 00:27:35,07
one of the real neat things about
her background is that she also is

337
00:27:35,08 --> 00:27:39,90
a lawyer. And she worked for three years
as an assistant assistant district

338
00:27:39,91 --> 00:27:45,25
attorney out of North Hampton but really
missed work in the classroom and came back

339
00:27:45,26 --> 00:27:47,96
into teaching for five years ago and just

340
00:27:47,97 --> 00:27:52,87
a real bright energetic enthusiastic person
and I know the at the team felt very

341
00:27:52,88 --> 00:27:56,62
strongly about her coming on board and
she'll be working this to Bateson to prove

342
00:27:56,63 --> 00:27:58,49
her in you know making and

343
00:27:58,53 --> 00:28:03,49
a good team even greater with with her now
part of the part of the fold over there

344
00:28:03,50 --> 00:28:07,27
so we're excited to have this brain and
she's already up and running with the folks

345
00:28:07,28 --> 00:28:12,75
the high school on board working hard
already so welcome to her middle school we

346

349
00:28:25,69 --> 00:28:30,20

350
00:28:30,21 --> 00:28:33,95
this month on the case but they are in
the midst of hiring her replacement as

351
00:28:33,96 --> 00:28:38,00
assistant principal and I know they
have a handful of folks working on

352
00:28:38,01 --> 00:28:41,55
a team in interviewing candidates this
week so they're hoping to have somebody on

353
00:28:41,56 --> 00:28:46,15
board by the end of the month which
would be great. Also just want to quit

354
00:28:46,64 --> 00:28:50,00
congratulations to the Boys and Girls Club
I was able to attend last night briefly

355
00:28:50,37 --> 00:28:53,19
on this Castillo and a few
other time officials and

356
00:28:53,20 --> 00:28:57,52
a lot of parents and students at the opening
of the new pool which is just great

357
00:28:57,53 --> 00:29:01,72
and the Boys and Girls Club does so many
great things for students for the youth of

358
00:29:01,73 --> 00:29:06,57
Marshfield and having this new pool and
water pad that they have is just fantastic

359
00:29:06,58 --> 00:29:06,94
is going to have

360
00:29:06,95 --> 00:29:10,37
a new dimension to what our students will
do during the school year during the

361
00:29:10,38 --> 00:29:16,00
summer obviously they're going to be putting
forth the swim teams this summer and I

362
00:29:16,01 --> 00:29:20,30
even tried to the this one coordinator and
coach. I'm going to go coach my children

363
00:29:20,31 --> 00:29:21,11
in situ it's a two

364
00:29:21,12 --> 00:29:24,81
a school on swim team and they're already
talking about ways in which they might be

365
00:29:24,82 --> 00:29:30,36
able to make their home for the marshals
from team down the road if they ever are

366
00:29:30,37 --> 00:29:34,38
in close or if you've ever seen some pools
they put up winter winter coverings in

367
00:29:34,39 --> 00:29:38,58
are able to have meets there so well with
that afford school committee members the

368
00:29:38,59 --> 00:29:40,80
opportunity to use the splash
that because that looks like

369
00:29:40,81 --> 00:29:42,69
a lot of fun so this class bet was

370
00:29:42,70 --> 00:29:45,79
a big hit last name because I don't think
I would know one swim in the pool when

371
00:29:45,80 --> 00:29:45,100
there are

372
00:29:46,01 --> 00:29:50,06
a lot of kids running around the splash
pad and it's amazing that that pool was

373
00:29:50,07 --> 00:29:54,74
completed in just about eight weeks from
the ground breaking Yeah the greats who've

374
00:29:54,75 --> 00:29:59,58
done so much work around the town of several
high school but they're also key. Be

375
00:29:59,59 --> 00:30:03,25
contributors to the work done to bring
forth that their pool in less than two

376
00:30:03,26 --> 00:30:05,15
months and again the whole idea of

377
00:30:05,16 --> 00:30:09,40
a healthy body healthy mind is something
that's really inherent in the in the Boys

378
00:30:09,41 --> 00:30:11,95
and Girls Club entrée and it's just one
more way in which they're going to be able

379
00:30:11,96 --> 00:30:17,47
to help our students and the youth of
Marshfield So I want to congratulate them and

380
00:30:17,48 --> 00:30:19,07
also it's one going with

381
00:30:19,08 --> 00:30:26,02
a committee will be meeting next
month for our. Retreat folks are

382
00:30:26,03 --> 00:30:31,87
all invited on the first day. Coming out
around lunch time for that meeting that

383
00:30:31,88 --> 00:30:33,84
which is going to be here to
Daniel Webster house we do have

384
00:30:33,85 --> 00:30:37,51
a slight change in the two because in the
two we bring our department chairs and

385
00:30:37,52 --> 00:30:42,34
coordinators and. Then left
the house was beautiful and

386
00:30:42,38 --> 00:30:46,61
a great location is not going to have an
aside for us on day two with everybody so

387
00:30:46,62 --> 00:30:50,99
we're going to be moving across the line
into Cohasset to like you present right by

388
00:30:51,00 --> 00:30:56,23

390
00:31:02,99 --> 00:31:06,34
that's all I have I do other than just
some hiring have been going great we're

391
00:31:06,35 --> 00:31:08,81
pretty much done with our hirings is

392
00:31:08,82 --> 00:31:13,20
a few folks that you know give us some
notice when the game about makes some

393
00:31:13,21 --> 00:31:17,20
changes but overall we've been able to bring
out some really fantastic teachers and

394
00:31:17,46 --> 00:31:24,12
assistants. When you. Said in Berkeley
it comes from your. Thank you sir

395
00:31:25,07 --> 00:31:30,62

different organizations between food

a weapon our That was yesterday
so we. Myself listen to the

420
00:33:45,51 --> 00:33:48,18
weapon our for an hour and
we're going to be generating

421
00:33:48,26 --> 00:33:53,19
a staff document to kind of remind them
that they're going to need to get that SCI

422
00:33:53,20 --> 00:33:57,82
endorsement and if they have English language
learners in their in their classrooms

423
00:33:57,83 --> 00:34:02,21
what those requirements will
be so. They actually did

424
00:34:02,22 --> 00:34:05,63
a really nice job in
informing districts E.-S.

425
00:34:05,64 --> 00:34:06,60
Why after

426
00:34:06,61 --> 00:34:12,25
a terrific start this been really been
no trip up everything's just right very

427
00:34:12,26 --> 00:34:18,17
smoothly this is her third year being the
director in that program and really has

428
00:34:18,18 --> 00:34:23,39
it under control I really like to thank
Dr Scotland's principal Cooter principal

429
00:34:23,40 --> 00:34:28,07
come out and the Custer audience for being
so flexible with cleaning the buildings

430
00:34:28,08 --> 00:34:33,69
and housing our programs there but we have
another three or four weeks to the Yes

431
00:34:33,70 --> 00:34:40,60
well I program. Thank you
Dr to Mr Miller as quick

432
00:34:40,61 --> 00:34:46,75
update on your seventeen obviously you're
close on June thirtieth we're in process

433
00:34:46,76 --> 00:34:51,13
of closing the fiscal year.
You'll get a committee get

434
00:34:51,14 --> 00:34:57,68
a full breakdown next month and detail but
right now. Appears we're going to going

435
00:34:57,69 --> 00:35:01,20
to be able to roll over slightly more in
circuit breaker than we did the previous

436
00:35:01,21 --> 00:35:05,35
year which is what we're budgeting for
so we rolled over through around three

437
00:35:05,36 --> 00:35:08,81
hundred fifty thousand dollars last year
we should come in slightly above that for

438
00:35:08,82 --> 00:35:10,47
rollover into eighteen which is

439
00:35:10,48 --> 00:35:16,17
a good thing so the other two the two other
items that we've kept an eye on this

440
00:35:16,18 --> 00:35:21,14
year two revolving accounts. Foodservice
happy to report there's good news in the

441
00:35:21,15 --> 00:35:27,13
food service front right now we're projecting
about thirty five thousand dollars to

442
00:35:27,14 --> 00:35:33,69
the positive for this last fiscal year so.
You know if you could job remember my

443
00:35:33,70 --> 00:35:38,48
first year two years ago if your mom ward
we were about forty thousand dollars in

444
00:35:38,49 --> 00:35:44,27
the right the last three years we've
been through. It and drove in from.

445
00:35:47,12 --> 00:35:49,55
Here Before I mean we had we had close
to almost two hundred thousand dollars

446
00:35:49,56 --> 00:35:56,38
deficit three years ago so we definitely
turned around that process and. Everything

447
00:35:56,39 --> 00:35:59,89
is going well so we have right now we're
ten thousand to the positive We're waiting

448
00:35:59,90 --> 00:36:03,69
on one more payment from the federal
reimbursement which should be about twenty

449
00:36:03,70 --> 00:36:07,78
five thousand dollars so all is good in
the program right now which is which is

450
00:36:07,79 --> 00:36:12,94
a good thing and then unfortunately the
other one of the revolving count that's.

451
00:36:14,15 --> 00:36:20,53
That's negative is athletics and you know
we've been sit around. Something to do

452
00:36:20,54 --> 00:36:21,95
with it with a fee increase through

453
00:36:21,96 --> 00:36:28,25
a budget we kind of held off this year.
But that appears at going about thirty

454
00:36:28,26 --> 00:36:34,41
thousand to the negative. We have we have
about eighty thousand dollars in the

455
00:36:34,42 --> 00:36:38,20
operating budget plus the coaches' salaries
everything else comes out the revolving

456
00:36:38,21 --> 00:36:44,45
couches fees in gate receipts and we're
just not keeping pace there so. That's

457
00:36:44,46 --> 00:36:46,40
going to be discussion going
to have moving forward into

458
00:36:46,77 --> 00:36:51,94
a tougher fiscal nineteen which are coming
up soon. But you get much more detail

459
00:36:51,95 --> 00:36:57,05
next month. They can smell it. Any
subcommittee reports at this time.

460
00:37:00,74 --> 00:37:03,95
So. It's

461
00:37:03,96 --> 00:37:10,29
a jet out here and we have an item on
their feet so yeah you know. I mean

462
00:37:11,19 --> 00:37:17,49
we can hear the general yeah I would do
it any other subcommittee reports. But I

463
00:37:17,50 --> 00:37:17,92
would not reach

464
00:37:17,93 --> 00:37:20,78
a point meeting for public comment anybody
in the public would like to address the

465
00:37:20,79 --> 00:37:25,26
committee now is the time.
Sparkles I think I think.

466
00:37:28,15 --> 00:37:35,07
You know. That it was marbles
we will now move into

467
00:37:35,08 --> 00:37:40,78
old business. With the committees approval
will move minutes towards the end as we

468
00:37:40,79 --> 00:37:45,59
typically do headed to old business the
Marshall public school district strategic

469
00:37:45,66 --> 00:37:50,80
plan I know we did discuss this at length
at our last meeting but we will couple

470
00:37:50,81 --> 00:37:54,71
things to put to bed here so I'll turn it
over to Mr grittiness nothing's really

471
00:37:54,72 --> 00:37:59,83
changed. Nor to reach out with any specific
informational based questions but I was

472
00:37:59,84 --> 00:38:00,20
we have

473
00:38:00,21 --> 00:38:05,60
a chance here to answer any other lingering
questions you folks may have again I am

474
00:38:05,64 --> 00:38:08,16
I'm really happy with the
process I think this is

475
00:38:08,17 --> 00:38:13,24
a really good one on compassing process
with stakeholders from you know throughout

476
00:38:13,25 --> 00:38:16,77
the district futures parents students
sat with one of the students

477
00:38:16,78 --> 00:38:19,10
a group sticks and another
underclassman who was

478
00:38:19,11 --> 00:38:25,98
a part of it. School Committee members
past and present. Some some general.

479
00:38:27,00 --> 00:38:30,63
Citizen that large you know who don't have
children in the district but have worked

480
00:38:30,64 --> 00:38:35,81
in very. Strolls around town and. Just and
other things I think are left over to

481
00:38:35,82 --> 00:38:38,51
last me into to give input a lot of that

482
00:38:38,52 --> 00:38:42,08
a lot of this was based on visioning and
what we want to see done in the next five

483
00:38:42,09 --> 00:38:48,25
years where we'll see the district until
twenty twenty two. And we did exercises

484
00:38:48,26 --> 00:38:51,11
with our leadership team with their plan
the committee but we also you know sent

485
00:38:51,12 --> 00:38:57,76
out surveys to the public. Company hundred
responses which helped guide us. We

486
00:38:57,77 --> 00:39:02,86
also our school councils and P.T.O.'s had
meetings during this process and during

487
00:39:02,87 --> 00:39:08,55
meetings they took on the principals and
staff from those schools. Also conducted

488
00:39:08,56 --> 00:39:10,24
division the exercise that we did as

489
00:39:10,25 --> 00:39:13,65
a leadership team as planning committee
with those parents to get their thoughts on

490
00:39:13,66 --> 00:39:18,54
what they thought was important. To to be
in the district in five years time and

491
00:39:18,55 --> 00:39:22,42
how do we get there and obviously you
know rich brother very good point of last

492
00:39:22,43 --> 00:39:23,72
meeting you know this is

493
00:39:23,73 --> 00:39:29,23
a plan that we feel as is educationally
sound and it helps address the needs of the

494
00:39:29,24 --> 00:39:30,93
whole student but

495
00:39:30,97 --> 00:39:35,28
a lot of these Abrams you know that we
want to see in place can't use happen

496
00:39:35,29 --> 00:39:39,42
overnight and they cost money some of these
do some don't some are just practices

497
00:39:39,43 --> 00:39:43,80
that we can you know embody and know in our
everyday practices and our teachers do

498
00:39:43,81 --> 00:39:48,70
a great job throughout the year doing many
of the things that we want to see you

499
00:39:48,71 --> 00:39:53,52
know are you know on a continued basis but
some some things do relate to staffing

500
00:39:53,53 --> 00:39:58,75
a program of changes in even the best laid
plans we may not be able to get them in

501
00:39:58,76 --> 00:40:02,35
our previous plan that's just
closing out this year there were no

502
00:40:02,36 --> 00:40:05,96
a variety of items that we weren't able
to get to over five years but it's

503
00:40:05,97 --> 00:40:07,52
something that I think of

504
00:40:07,56 --> 00:40:11,55
a well laid out plan like this that has
some some real key objectives that we're

505
00:40:11,56 --> 00:40:16,90
trying to reach gives the public an idea
of why we're asking what we're asking for

506
00:40:16,91 --> 00:40:19,99
when we go through the budget process we
go through the financial planning and

507
00:40:20,00 --> 00:40:21,40
again I understand that we always have

508
00:40:21,41 --> 00:40:27,39
a finite amount of monies. But when we're
seeking something if we can tie it back

509
00:40:27,40 --> 00:40:33,01
to the plan it's it's the best thing we can
do. It hopefully instills confidence in

510
00:40:33,02 --> 00:40:37,16
the public in what we're trying to do and
that these ideals these objectives these

511
00:40:37,17 --> 00:40:39,07
P.X. Things just done in

512
00:40:39,08 --> 00:40:42,77
a vacuum but they were done with feedback
from stakeholders across the town and

513
00:40:42,81 --> 00:40:47,33
that's what they want to see in our district
and again I'm fully cognizant of the

514
00:40:47,34 --> 00:40:51,15
fact that we can't always get what we
want but we have to at least lay out

515
00:40:51,16 --> 00:40:55,70
a plan that will help us get there in as
we try to attack some of these items on

516
00:40:55,71 --> 00:41:02,51
the on them. Five Year Plan you know
will bring forward in you know is

517
00:41:02,52 --> 00:41:06,98
rich in the whole committees are always
brought up you know there has to be some

518
00:41:07,02 --> 00:41:11,72
some backup as to why we're doing what
we're doing in how it's going to work and

519
00:41:11,73 --> 00:41:14,97
what's what's the plan and how it's going
to come to fruition in those questions

520
00:41:14,98 --> 00:41:18,13
have to be answered before we can go to
anybody looking for that funding but I feel

521
00:41:18,14 --> 00:41:23,02
confident in this plan that it addresses
our core values that it ties in to

522
00:41:23,03 --> 00:41:26,97
objectives that we feel are in the best
interest of our students in our staff and I

523
00:41:26,98 --> 00:41:29,85
think it gives us a good game plan

524
00:41:30,49 --> 00:41:34,43
a road map per se for the next five years
as to where we want to go I think we have

525
00:41:34,44 --> 00:41:38,47
a fantastic district and this plan will
help work towards that making us even that

526
00:41:38,48 --> 00:41:45,22
much better. I think Mr Grant you.
For what it's worth I completely

527
00:41:45,43 --> 00:41:50,00
agree with everything you just said and I
know I said at the last meeting I would

528
00:41:50,01 --> 00:41:53,94
like to say once again that looking at
the vision laid out in this plan from

529
00:41:53,95 --> 00:42:00,25
stakeholders across our community our
educational community and then looking back

530
00:42:00,29 --> 00:42:04,36
on things that Mr Grant Athena has been
saying since he arrived in Marshfield his

531
00:42:04,37 --> 00:42:07,00
goals and the objectives he's laid out

532
00:42:07,01 --> 00:42:11,17
a superintendent there pretty well matched
so I think we're we're very lucky to

533
00:42:11,18 --> 00:42:11,29
have

534
00:42:11,30 --> 00:42:17,02
a superintendent who's very much in touch
with what our. Marshall community wants

535
00:42:17,03 --> 00:42:20,60
in our education so that you're going to
Tino thank you for your leadership on this

536
00:42:21,04 --> 00:42:23,69
improvement plan. I think it's

537
00:42:23,70 --> 00:42:27,52
a wonderful product and one of the by
products of how lucky we are to have your

538
00:42:27,53 --> 00:42:31,39
MARSHALL So I think thank you for your
hard work on that I'm going to do. Quickly

539
00:42:31,40 --> 00:42:34,92
trip to briefly because I mean I appreciate
those comments greatly but I know he

540
00:42:34,93 --> 00:42:39,36
did that the the essence of this plan is
that it is not about one person you know

541
00:42:39,37 --> 00:42:43,81
and if it was a one person plan it would
be a plan that we would bear and it's

542
00:42:43,82 --> 00:42:48,47
a plan that made it was made up of teachers
from across the district leadership

543
00:42:48,48 --> 00:42:53,52
members right here there are principles our
parents so they have as much say is as

544
00:42:53,53 --> 00:42:57,39
I did in this and I begin to get all that
all those same kudos because they were

545
00:42:57,40 --> 00:42:59,08
fantastic it was a great group yeah

546
00:42:59,09 --> 00:43:02,52
a great group and I think as you said
earlier it's quite something when our two

547
00:43:02,53 --> 00:43:06,63
most impressive members are students that
the promise that says we're either doing

548
00:43:06,67 --> 00:43:11,84
something very right or something fairy
very wrong. So I have no further comment I

549
00:43:11,85 --> 00:43:15,09
don't know if anybody has any
questions or comments on this item.

550
00:43:20,46 --> 00:43:26,16
Miscue microphone being my. Height.

551
00:43:28,29 --> 00:43:34,28
Looking at this plan and also looking at
the. Totemic collaboratives plan both of

552
00:43:34,29 --> 00:43:41,26
them are just so concise and anybody can
pick this up and look at it and see very

553
00:43:41,27 --> 00:43:47,92
clearly the vision that Marshall has
it from now on board he documents very

554
00:43:47,93 --> 00:43:53,52
clean very concise and I just I love
that I love that it's not going to be

555
00:43:53,70 --> 00:43:55,94
intimidating if a parent
want to look at it or if

556
00:43:55,95 --> 00:44:01,68
a teacher want to look at it it's not going
to be this overwhelming. Act of pages

557
00:44:01,69 --> 00:44:06,93
it's very clean very concise and I think
it really sums up what all of us want for

558
00:44:07,27 --> 00:44:11,95
the town so we just you know to again I
mentioned earlier I've been going to Dessie

559
00:44:11,96 --> 00:44:16,52
this week for this workshop on strategic
planning and working with the folks who

560
00:44:16,56 --> 00:44:20,44
assisted us and there's a handful of
superintendents who are looking to either

561
00:44:20,48 --> 00:44:24,00
a game that's the better understanding for
their own district or so that they can

562
00:44:24,01 --> 00:44:30,55
go and help districts. To do was to to
cleaning down the road but they are going to

563
00:44:30,56 --> 00:44:30,91
using

564
00:44:30,92 --> 00:44:34,24
a lot of the stuff that we did here in
Marshall to help model for the soup that's

565
00:44:34,25 --> 00:44:39,16
there and we did the vision exercise and
although they weren't here they had access

566
00:44:39,17 --> 00:44:40,55
to a lot of the documents that we did

567
00:44:40,56 --> 00:44:43,88
a lot of the things that we felt you know
when we were looking at what we want to

568
00:44:43,89 --> 00:44:46,93
see in the back to the future exercise where
we would see with what he wants you to

569
00:44:46,94 --> 00:44:50,92
describe years and without knowing
what our objectives were there was

570
00:44:50,96 --> 00:44:55,10
a small break up groups that were trying
to identify and define what we would look

571
00:44:55,11 --> 00:44:59,06
at as observing you know key objectives for
the district and almost sure that each

572
00:44:59,07 --> 00:45:03,65
group highlighted the same things that we
were highlighting here so it made me feel

573
00:45:03,66 --> 00:45:06,86
good that we were kind of on the right
track and we were on the right track but

574
00:45:06,87 --> 00:45:11,21
here are three peers and they identified
similar themes that we had been

575
00:45:11,22 --> 00:45:15,74
identifying and made me feel better about
that that's high praise for for the

576
00:45:16,01 --> 00:45:21,29
process. And Miss Campbell I completely
agree with you I think that there's

577
00:45:21,30 --> 00:45:26,65
anything wrong with the plan from two
thousand and twelve but. I think it's twenty

578
00:45:26,66 --> 00:45:31,23
five pages twenty six. Just something
like that and having the same idea is

579
00:45:31,35 --> 00:45:32,11
communicated in

580
00:45:32,12 --> 00:45:37,19
a two page document that's got great flow
and it's very easy to read and understand

581
00:45:37,20 --> 00:45:43,31
and. You know any parent can pick it up
and in a very quick amount of time. Get

582
00:45:43,32 --> 00:45:48,81
a vision for what our district sees for
our future. Things very beneficial so I

583
00:45:48,82 --> 00:45:49,77
couldn't agree with you more it's

584
00:45:49,78 --> 00:45:55,25
a great point. Further questions
comments at this time. Do we have

585
00:45:55,26 --> 00:45:58,33
a motion to approve the two thousand and
seventeen to teach two thousand and twenty

586
00:45:58,34 --> 00:46:04,59
two Marshall public schools district
improvement plan. So by Mr Greer second second

587
00:46:04,60 --> 00:46:09,91
from Mr Church all those in favor please
signify by saying I. Oppose nay abstaining

588
00:46:10,43 --> 00:46:15,56
five zero zero. And if I could just in
closing think you know Dr Christo Dr Martin

589
00:46:15,57 --> 00:46:18,56
all the folks that were there at the people
who were part of the flame five years

590
00:46:18,57 --> 00:46:21,72
ago the plan helped drive
this district through I think

591
00:46:21,73 --> 00:46:26,16
a pretty good spot over the last five years
and it made me feel good knowing that

592
00:46:26,17 --> 00:46:30,43
every year when we laid out our plans for
the year and identified year is important

593
00:46:30,82 --> 00:46:34,87
we were able to go back to that plan not
done done differently but still had

594
00:46:34,88 --> 00:46:39,79
tremendous vision in tremendous objectives
for the district and absolutely helped

595
00:46:39,80 --> 00:46:42,52
helped I'm one of the work that we've
been doing over the last five years

596
00:46:42,56 --> 00:46:48,74
absolutely. Excellent moving on
to our next agenda item a just

597
00:46:48,75 --> 00:46:53,30
a quick update on the furnace book middle
school roof project I know Mr Miller and

598
00:46:53,31 --> 00:46:57,73
Mr Greer who is our liaison to that project
met today Mr Miller I'll turn it over

599
00:46:57,74 --> 00:47:00,68
to you and Mr Graham jump in

600
00:47:00,69 --> 00:47:07,54
a min. When you think of Mr or
anything like that so. So we did

601
00:47:07,55 --> 00:47:13,40
meet today Rich. Bryan Adams Tony Bullock
the facilities manager assistant

602
00:47:13,41 --> 00:47:16,28
facilities manager in the
bun who's the F.B.S.

603
00:47:16,29 --> 00:47:22,69
Custodian and John Mills principal he
popped in on his day off so thanks to John

604
00:47:23,56 --> 00:47:24,68
we met with the O.P.M.

605
00:47:24,69 --> 00:47:31,19
And the architect today they had just
received feedback from the commissioning

606
00:47:31,20 --> 00:47:38,13
agent on Friday so that was the
impetus for the meeting. To go

607
00:47:38,14 --> 00:47:39,81
through the timeline just a
little bit and then there's

608
00:47:39,82 --> 00:47:43,39
a little bit of discussion that we probably
will have with the committee regarding

609
00:47:43,40 --> 00:47:48,97
the project so the architect did complete
sixty percent documents according to

610
00:47:48,98 --> 00:47:53,62
schedule on June ninth so that was completed
on the on the timeline then there

611
00:47:53,66 --> 00:47:54,44
became a little bit of

612
00:47:54,45 --> 00:47:58,82
a hold up with the commissioning agent so
commissioning agent works for the school

613
00:47:58,83 --> 00:48:02,54
building authority they don't
necessarily work for us or the O.P.M.

614
00:48:02,62 --> 00:48:08,05
Or the architect so they're on their own
with them. The documents were handed over

615
00:48:08,06 --> 00:48:10,76
to the commission agent I saw our O.P.M.

616
00:48:11,76 --> 00:48:17,20
Reach out to. A few times via
email trying to kind of light

617
00:48:17,21 --> 00:48:24,01
a fire. It's they finally got back
on Friday and were able to meet

618
00:48:24,02 --> 00:48:28,55
so that delayed a project me three
weeks so we were already on

619
00:48:28,56 --> 00:48:33,36
a really tight timeline. Now there's

620
00:48:33,37 --> 00:48:38,93
a three week delay so. If we
continue on the timeline.

621
00:48:40,30 --> 00:48:45,26
Gets it's about another three weeks to
we would we would advertise on Wednesday

622
00:48:45,30 --> 00:48:50,94
center register. And about three weeks to
get the bids the bids would come in about

623
00:48:51,40 --> 00:48:57,90
Aug seventh. Which means after that then
there's another process three weeks delay

624
00:48:57,91 --> 00:48:59,64
so right now with

625
00:48:59,65 --> 00:49:05,90
a timeline those three weeks pushed back
from the ability to do about four weeks of

626
00:49:05,91 --> 00:49:09,67
heavy work before the students
got back to only really

627
00:49:09,76 --> 00:49:16,33
a really short one week timeframe before
for for heavy work. Heavy work possibly

628
00:49:16,34 --> 00:49:19,78
five to six weeks so right now we're on

629
00:49:19,79 --> 00:49:26,28
a timeline that if we continue forward
we would be. Rather significantly and

630
00:49:26,33 --> 00:49:30,09
impacting the beginning of school year
so that's when the concern that's when

631
00:49:30,41 --> 00:49:35,19
almost immediately discussion went so
that's probably the worst thing we that's

632
00:49:36,44 --> 00:49:42,62
it's all about the students we want to
the least impact on students we possibly

633
00:49:42,63 --> 00:49:44,33
could have especially when

634
00:49:44,34 --> 00:49:51,09
a lot of that work. That initial
work the heavy heavy duty work is

635
00:49:51,13 --> 00:49:56,07
on the wings where the students are and
with the sixth graders are in there we have

636
00:49:56,33 --> 00:49:59,62
you know little sixth graders coming in a
big middle school last thing we need is

637
00:50:00,54 --> 00:50:05,93
a lot of banging and all and noise so so
we got through discussions of whatever or

638
00:50:06,15 --> 00:50:08,42
our options.

639
00:50:15,32 --> 00:50:18,17
We talked about so we're in

640
00:50:18,18 --> 00:50:23,45
a good place now we get we can we can bid
any time from if we're going to move it

641
00:50:23,46 --> 00:50:30,45
till next. School year and the summer
period. I think everybody at the table kind

642
00:50:30,46 --> 00:50:35,20
of agreed that was probably the best solution
for us at this point in time for the

643
00:50:35,21 --> 00:50:41,94
least impact on students. We could
bid at any time now through.

644
00:50:43,30 --> 00:50:48,11
The February March timeframe so we were
talking about what was the best time to do

645
00:50:48,12 --> 00:50:52,17
that. The impact on
costs whether there was

646
00:50:52,18 --> 00:50:54,16
a little bit of escalation
involved there probably would be

647
00:50:54,17 --> 00:50:59,56
a slight escalation but if we did now it
would be very minimal we talked about.

648
00:51:01,03 --> 00:51:02,81
It and even with this you know with

649
00:51:02,82 --> 00:51:06,69
a slight escalation we'd still be
within the schematic costs we had

650
00:51:06,70 --> 00:51:10,86
a full breakdown on the budget.
And is there hasn't been

651
00:51:10,87 --> 00:51:16,14
a whole lot of change there and actually
went down the overall budget went down

652
00:51:16,15 --> 00:51:20,51
from the initial schematic versus
the sixty percent documents.

653
00:51:23,19 --> 00:51:23,68
The O.P.M.

654
00:51:23,69 --> 00:51:29,58
Said it would be no problem with the delay
with them and. It's happened with other

655
00:51:29,59 --> 00:51:32,75
projects something occurs. On

656
00:51:32,76 --> 00:51:39,67
a semi-regular basis. A couple of
couple of concerns that were brought

657
00:51:39,68 --> 00:51:43,83
up or getting through another winter
with the roof in the state it is.

658
00:51:48,18 --> 00:51:51,48
The custodian there he
you know he said it's

659
00:51:52,42 --> 00:51:57,20
a last one it was tough but he's he thinks
he can at least get through temporary

660
00:51:57,21 --> 00:52:04,08
basis to get it through to next
next spring next summer. You know

661
00:52:04,09 --> 00:52:10,80
that's we the prequalification
process for for. For construction

662
00:52:10,84 --> 00:52:15,60
in the sub bitters those can be held for
approximately six months so that's not an

663
00:52:15,61 --> 00:52:21,35
issue so the work we've already
done is not thrown away. So.

664
00:52:23,41 --> 00:52:27,67
It's really I mean I. Talk to Richard
little bit this it's technically not

665
00:52:27,68 --> 00:52:31,36
a school committee decision but
it's you know it's a bit it's

666
00:52:31,37 --> 00:52:35,89
a building subcommittee of different want
the committee to be involved to know what

667
00:52:35,90 --> 00:52:37,56
our timeframes are and just get

668
00:52:37,57 --> 00:52:44,33
a little feedback from from you if if you
have it in and go from there I think I

669
00:52:44,34 --> 00:52:50,55
think that I think the consensus amongst
everybody on the on the building committee

670
00:52:50,61 --> 00:52:57,40
was was that at this point in time it
makes sense to hold off and slow it down

671
00:52:57,41 --> 00:53:03,68
a little bit in the least impact on
students but at Rich. Going to start.

672
00:53:06,62 --> 00:53:13,26
Yet it also gives us it also gives the
ability to start. Say you know setting up

673
00:53:13,27 --> 00:53:16,53
the premier fencing getting
you know they have to build

674
00:53:16,54 --> 00:53:22,19
a. As it turns of the fence. Top

675
00:53:22,71 --> 00:53:23,39
a barrier

676
00:53:24,18 --> 00:53:30,29
a barrier of some sort they can do all
that work as well before the at last day

677
00:53:30,30 --> 00:53:35,40
schools June fifteenth I believe so that
they could still no snow no snow days.

678
00:53:36,51 --> 00:53:41,21
Saying those days we also have we also have
start after Labor Day so they can give

679
00:53:41,22 --> 00:53:41,30
you

680
00:53:41,31 --> 00:53:49,74
a sense of even more but I think we
June fifth was the target day. That

681
00:53:49,75 --> 00:53:52,39
would actually a little bit
of session was the D.C.

682
00:53:52,40 --> 00:53:56,06
Trip because they usually
use the gym to really do

683
00:53:56,07 --> 00:54:01,34
a lot of the the deployment for
lack of a better term for the D.C.

684
00:54:01,35 --> 00:54:07,12
Trip June fifth There that's done then
they can really start some work on the on

685
00:54:07,13 --> 00:54:13,39
the gymnasium roof kind of close gymnasium
down start that start the you know the

686
00:54:13,40 --> 00:54:18,32
set up on the perimeter and then read be
ready to go whether it's June sixteenth

687
00:54:18,33 --> 00:54:21,58
seventeenth eighteenth and hopefully not
much later than that just the to really

688
00:54:21,59 --> 00:54:25,04
start so. It's still a four month it's

689
00:54:25,05 --> 00:54:31,76
a four month process. But that would
allow us to really Next set the

690
00:54:31,77 --> 00:54:37,28
tenor of eighteen have the least amount
impact on students you know we really you

691
00:54:37,29 --> 00:54:41,08
know we're really pushing to try to get it
try to get it's on the timeline this is

692
00:54:41,09 --> 00:54:47,94
the timeline for getting it done
this fall into. Into December

693
00:54:48,63 --> 00:54:53,94
and there's a November was a late
November construction completion and

694
00:54:53,95 --> 00:54:59,92
a little bit of close out in the
summer. Pushing it back. That

695
00:55:00,82 --> 00:55:05,24
once you get any further along they
it becomes really you know it's

696
00:55:05,25 --> 00:55:09,59
a weather issue and. Not to
mention and obviously it's

697
00:55:09,60 --> 00:55:15,98
a student issue to this
group. So you're. Right yeah.

698
00:55:17,70 --> 00:55:22,20
I mean you work I mean in the winter if
we get into we're going to situation with

699
00:55:22,29 --> 00:55:28,78
with wood precipitation snow whatever
they can they can. But if severely

700
00:55:29,70 --> 00:55:35,71
severely those are things down we knew
that I mean we knew it was. It was just it

701
00:55:35,72 --> 00:55:35,84
was

702
00:55:35,85 --> 00:55:40,01
a really tight timeline and just you know
it just it just and we kind of knew going

703
00:55:40,02 --> 00:55:44,60
in this process that you know one little
piece of the puzzle kind of slipped off.

704
00:55:45,70 --> 00:55:51,86
More than likely would have to do with
shit so things could go wrong. Just as

705
00:55:52,79 --> 00:55:58,25
seniors. Can Use.

706
00:56:04,06 --> 00:56:10,93
Something you know in the
street or you can do. It.

707
00:56:14,92 --> 00:56:20,80
And. We don't want you to. Know what
you want to do you know you're.

708
00:56:22,10 --> 00:56:26,53
Right yeah but they might have it better
to carve it out over this that there's

709
00:56:26,54 --> 00:56:31,91
nothing got out of here and that's. Now
it will break through the last day of

710
00:56:31,92 --> 00:56:35,56
school year. So I don't
we I mean we didn't make

711
00:56:35,57 --> 00:56:38,65
a definitive decision but
I think they had not

712
00:56:38,66 --> 00:56:41,47
a chance to talk to Superintendent grant
you know so we're going to you know we'll

713
00:56:41,48 --> 00:56:47,93
talk briefly tomorrow morning in make the
make them make a decision. There was

714
00:56:47,94 --> 00:56:54,27
a couple other discussion points.
There as you know there's

715
00:56:54,84 --> 00:57:00,65
ninety six guy lights I think it's ninety
six there's Of the two men the bunch over

716
00:57:00,66 --> 00:57:06,01
the bunch over the gymnasium There's
several in the front lobbies.

717
00:57:08,01 --> 00:57:08,34
We made

718
00:57:08,35 --> 00:57:10,91
a decision of the lobbies are definitely
going to stake that's part of this that

719
00:57:10,92 --> 00:57:12,50
it's of the building we made

720
00:57:12,51 --> 00:57:18,11
a decision on the gymnasium skylights I
don't think anybody believes that those

721
00:57:18,16 --> 00:57:23,48
provide any benefit there the discussion
came up again today regarding the

722
00:57:23,49 --> 00:57:29,59
skylights in the hallways so. We're going
to we're going to regroup and talk with

723
00:57:29,63 --> 00:57:33,70
the building leadership of furnace broke
along with Superintendent grin Teano to to

724
00:57:33,71 --> 00:57:39,14
make that final call to we have if we delay
we have time to time to make that make

725
00:57:39,15 --> 00:57:46,10
that call so pros and cons both
ways. And the only other one other

726
00:57:46,11 --> 00:57:52,41
piece was. And. I'm right M B W B.

727
00:57:56,67 --> 00:58:03,27
Minority and Women in the minority
and women owned business. Is

728
00:58:03,28 --> 00:58:07,92
a complicated formula I guess it's like
ten point six percent of your bidding has

729
00:58:07,93 --> 00:58:14,59
to be awarded to minority been
women own firms this project is

730
00:58:15,06 --> 00:58:21,16
is complicated in effect that the
roofing is. A huge part of it's

731
00:58:21,17 --> 00:58:25,30
a significant portion there's almost there's
barely even ten point six percent left

732
00:58:25,31 --> 00:58:28,03
on the rest of the projects and the O.P.M.

733
00:58:28,04 --> 00:58:34,71
Went through the process of
who is who's been. Which

734
00:58:34,72 --> 00:58:40,25
firms have been already prequalified which
ones are minority and women owned and

735
00:58:41,06 --> 00:58:46,78
it's almost. It's almost impossible get
to the temple at six unless we have one

736
00:58:46,88 --> 00:58:51,72
masonry firm that is awarded the project
so we weren't sure how that was going to

737
00:58:52,04 --> 00:58:56,76
how that was going to shake itself out
so there's a process where the O.P.M.

738
00:58:56,77 --> 00:59:01,19
Can go to the state and and go through
that process and possibly get

739
00:59:01,20 --> 00:59:05,51
a waiver or and let them know that you
know that we're considering it but if it

740
00:59:05,52 --> 00:59:09,27
doesn't happen that we are still OK in the
eyes of the state so I just want to make

741
00:59:09,28 --> 00:59:13,62
you aware that that process is we believe
what we told the PM to to go forward that

742
00:59:13,70 --> 00:59:19,38
requests but other than at. Those are the
those are the three main points today.

743
00:59:20,41 --> 00:59:26,75
And budget wise I said before we.
Construction The estimate the estimate back.

744
00:59:27,99 --> 00:59:32,73
From the initial schematic back in December
was six point six million construction

745
00:59:33,15 --> 00:59:38,99
the estimate that just came in on Friday
was just under six point five So.

746
00:59:40,25 --> 00:59:43,32
And then there's an alternate piece of the
skylight set the speed discussed but.

747
00:59:44,92 --> 00:59:48,52
That's the update and I'm sure will once

748
00:59:48,53 --> 00:59:53,41
a final decision is made on on the timeline
we'll let the committee know we just

749
00:59:53,42 --> 00:59:56,54
found something great so I voted for them
you know we're going to go through your

750
00:59:57,50 --> 01:00:01,48
time on this so I heard about it today
one of the moments so we'll have more

751
01:00:01,49 --> 01:00:08,36
discussions with bridge and Tom
and Brian and Tony. To have any

752
01:00:08,37 --> 01:00:13,96
questions or comments. I just Tom if you
could just tell me kind of in the simplest

753
01:00:13,97 --> 01:00:20,43
one or two sentences. Just for you
reiterate why this. What the major

754
01:00:20,44 --> 01:00:25,84
contributing factors as to why the delay
and I'm not I mean I rightly so with you

755
01:00:25,85 --> 01:00:30,84
that all it's one hundred percent what's
for what I mean but I'd like to know yeah

756
01:00:30,85 --> 01:00:35,41
being for on the side of accountability
here we're countable two are exactly so we

757
01:00:35,64 --> 01:00:40,24
don't know exactly what went wrong and why
we lost those three weeks we understood

758
01:00:40,25 --> 01:00:41,08
from the beginning it was

759
01:00:41,09 --> 01:00:46,44
a tight schedule but I think we were all
very optimistic that we could get this

760
01:00:46,45 --> 01:00:51,85
done under the wire Yes. Daddy's really
really going to dry up and soul Last week

761
01:00:51,86 --> 01:00:56,57
we were we were of that of the mindset
that we were going to get it done is all

762
01:00:56,70 --> 01:01:02,10
right. Again it's the commissioning is
the review of the documents and who does

763
01:01:02,52 --> 01:01:09,32
that is it was resold bar architects
engineers they're assigned by the

764
01:01:09,33 --> 01:01:09,71
M.S.P.

765
01:01:09,72 --> 01:01:16,49
A OK to review the project so I did I did
ask Greg Walsh pm if he was going to say

766
01:01:16,53 --> 01:01:17,47
you know speak to the M.S.P.

767
01:01:17,48 --> 01:01:21,41
a About the delay and he said definitely
So he will let them know that know that

768
01:01:21,42 --> 01:01:27,49
scenario. And they cost us three weeks yes
yes and you're comfortable saying that

769
01:01:27,53 --> 01:01:33,52
OK and I totally totally I mean I would
never. Obviously have full faith in

770
01:01:33,53 --> 01:01:34,74
everything you do so that's not

771
01:01:34,75 --> 01:01:37,92
a surprise to me that it's not anything
from the Marshfield side now I'm not going

772
01:01:37,93 --> 01:01:41,73
to lie it's very pretty disappointing
to see something like that happen our

773
01:01:41,74 --> 01:01:42,25
community put

774
01:01:42,26 --> 01:01:45,74
a lot of faith in us to get the project
done in the timeframe that we said it was

775
01:01:45,75 --> 01:01:50,51
going to be done we will continue to make
sure that it is all about the students

776
01:01:50,52 --> 01:01:54,17
and that the students are the least impacted
as possible by this and if that's the

777
01:01:54,18 --> 01:01:58,46
decision that you choose I'll stand by that
and I will totally agree with you that

778
01:01:58,86 --> 01:02:04,05
that's the way to go but I will not mask
my disappointment there and again I would

779
01:02:04,06 --> 01:02:09,30
if you have enough to do with those
responsible for. The for the delay that's

780
01:02:10,02 --> 01:02:16,77
that's unacceptable and it's needs to have
been operated better on their end and I

781
01:02:16,78 --> 01:02:21,26
think I'll speak for this board. And for
the citizens of Marshall when I say I'm

782
01:02:21,27 --> 01:02:25,62
very disappointed. That the Says
been delayed we're we're less than

783
01:02:25,63 --> 01:02:30,07
a third party groups inability to
get their act together for lack of

784
01:02:30,08 --> 01:02:34,86
a better term So thank you for your continued
hard work on that Mr Greer thank you

785
01:02:34,87 --> 01:02:40,40
for staying on top of that I have full faith
in Mr Miller and in your ability to to

786
01:02:40,41 --> 01:02:46,80
represent the school committee in those
decision making processes but. Very very

787
01:02:46,81 --> 01:02:49,49
disappointed in in that thirty.

788
01:02:54,65 --> 01:03:01,49
Years of History in that
yeah yeah. Yeah our kids

789
01:03:01,50 --> 01:03:06,03
will will. Will get the services they
deserve will get the building they deserve

790
01:03:06,04 --> 01:03:11,11
with the roof and that is adequate for the
educational process affirms Park Middle

791
01:03:11,12 --> 01:03:17,94
School. And that's at the end of the
day the ultimate goal here but. It's

792
01:03:18,17 --> 01:03:25,10
it's disappointing to see our time
frame interrupted like that because of

793
01:03:25,11 --> 01:03:29,13
something beyond our control so thank
your continued work sorry to be

794
01:03:29,14 --> 01:03:29,53
a little bit of

795
01:03:29,54 --> 01:03:34,77
a Debbie Downer but I'm absolutely
absolutely disappointed in that outcome so

796
01:03:34,78 --> 01:03:39,03
especially. Having just heard through and
you know Mr Grant you and I are in the

797
01:03:39,04 --> 01:03:44,35
same boat and you just heard it today and
it was yeah yeah that's all around that's

798
01:03:44,36 --> 01:03:50,34
just bad work by our by our third party
there so. Further questions comments.

799
01:03:53,84 --> 01:03:56,77
Move into new business
will go to the M.P.'s D.

800
01:03:56,78 --> 01:04:01,33
Hall of Honor this is a concept that we've
been talking about since at least over

801
01:04:01,34 --> 01:04:07,98
a year ago when Mrs Currie at the time as
the chair brought forward the policy on

802
01:04:07,99 --> 01:04:13,20
naming buildings and recognition so I will
turn it over to Mr Grant you know who I

803
01:04:13,21 --> 01:04:16,65
know has been doing some great work on
this at the committee's request to learn

804
01:04:16,66 --> 01:04:23,58
more about the Hall of Honor. In good
accordance with the dedications that

805
01:04:23,59 --> 01:04:26,98
we followed through with a
couple of months ago this be

806
01:04:26,99 --> 01:04:32,84
a nice follow up to. Continue to integrate
the community into what we do at

807
01:04:32,85 --> 01:04:38,50
Marshall public schools Mr Grant thank
you. One thing I've learned very very

808
01:04:38,51 --> 01:04:42,32
quickly in trying to size up what other
districts are doing is that most districts

809
01:04:42,33 --> 01:04:44,48
don't have what we're
looking to create here

810
01:04:44,89 --> 01:04:49,47
a Hall of Honor that's not just for athletics
or not just for the Performing Arts

811
01:04:49,48 --> 01:04:55,67
This is something that the committee has
talked about creating. An entity that

812
01:04:55,68 --> 01:05:02,21
honors you know past educators. Students
who may have played sports who may have

813
01:05:02,22 --> 01:05:05,35
been in the arts who may have just been you
know tremendous leaders in the building

814
01:05:05,64 --> 01:05:10,10
in what some of these are said to this call
you know friends of education could be

815
01:05:10,11 --> 01:05:13,92
passed between members could be passed you
know officials in town could be families

816
01:05:13,93 --> 01:05:20,10
who've done something remarkable for the
school and. To be up to that is there's

817
01:05:20,11 --> 01:05:24,78
a couple communities at Amesbury national
and were to those that responded back and

818
01:05:25,03 --> 01:05:31,07
they have created. Similar solar and to
be in I know when this committee was

819
01:05:31,08 --> 01:05:35,11
talking about you know rather than going
through the process that can get touchy

820
01:05:35,12 --> 01:05:38,27
sometimes and sometimes you run out of
space but mean you're hauling in your room

821
01:05:38,28 --> 01:05:38,57
and naming

822
01:05:38,58 --> 01:05:42,88
a wing in that specific building you
sometimes run out of spaces you know in is

823
01:05:42,89 --> 01:05:46,42
sometimes competing interests
for some of those spaces so

824
01:05:46,76 --> 01:05:52,73
a Hall of Honor more. However you folks
would want to know about the noting this

825
01:05:52,81 --> 01:05:55,29
this group. Is

826
01:05:55,30 --> 01:06:01,02
a chance to on an annual basis recognize
one or two or three or four or five you

827
01:06:01,03 --> 01:06:04,27
know individuals who have done something
great for the Marshall public schools over

828
01:06:04,28 --> 01:06:09,33
the years and while we haven't worked out
the details of what I mean look like if

829
01:06:09,34 --> 01:06:13,96
you were to have small plaques or plaques
in general for these folks and be able to

830
01:06:13,97 --> 01:06:18,74
put them on display say at our.
Canteen brain high school anymore but

831
01:06:18,75 --> 01:06:21,62
a three year old high
school that has you know

832
01:06:21,66 --> 01:06:26,16
a lot of wonderful space that we may be
able to show off some of these folks who

833
01:06:26,17 --> 01:06:29,30
are being recognized and actually believes
in is very they did something similar

834
01:06:29,31 --> 01:06:29,67
and they had

835
01:06:29,68 --> 01:06:36,31
a new high school and they were using
that new venue to help show off. The.

836
01:06:37,81 --> 01:06:43,41
Participant to them sipping some of those
who have been honored so I think that

837
01:06:43,85 --> 01:06:44,09
there was

838
01:06:44,10 --> 01:06:47,58
a number of districts that while they don't
have one also expressed an interest in

839
01:06:47,59 --> 01:06:53,48
going down this road and I think what the
committee you know we've looked at that

840
01:06:53,49 --> 01:06:57,34
and we're not in any position to right now
say we can do it tomorrow but I think

841
01:06:57,35 --> 01:07:01,14
there's things that we need to look at
as far as you know the criteria for

842
01:07:01,15 --> 01:07:04,76
membership you know five years after
they've graduated five years after they

843
01:07:04,77 --> 01:07:07,35
retired or five years after they were on

844
01:07:07,36 --> 01:07:13,70
a committee those types of things in.
Whatever reason review committee will look at

845
01:07:13,71 --> 01:07:19,51
the the the. Nominees you know
on an annual basis and I think.

846
01:07:22,38 --> 01:07:26,65
One of the schools actually I believe has
no principal or two teacher to community

847
01:07:26,66 --> 01:07:29,99
members to school committee members that
make up the subcommittee that will look at

848
01:07:30,43 --> 01:07:33,91
people that might have been nominated
again by somebody in the community and if

849
01:07:33,92 --> 01:07:39,04
they meet the the the minimum requirements
in the superintendent there I think

850
01:07:39,05 --> 01:07:45,10
verifies that all the crimes have been
met then that's up to me can look at who

851
01:07:45,24 --> 01:07:51,50
they want to recognize for that year in
they can vote and. Then you know. How the

852
01:07:51,51 --> 01:07:55,45
ceremony works and how the the the plaque
and all that kind of recognition works is

853
01:07:55,46 --> 01:08:01,15
something that you know that some can look
at lay out for the for the community but

854
01:08:01,16 --> 01:08:04,38
I just I think that it is something
actually one of them Ashleigh and put it in

855
01:08:04,39 --> 01:08:09,85
their their policy manual which is something.
We may want to do down the road as

856
01:08:09,86 --> 01:08:12,14
well and we can always add to our polls me

857
01:08:12,31 --> 01:08:17,16
a lot easier now than could
before. So I think it's

858
01:08:17,17 --> 01:08:19,91
a think it's something
that would be great for

859
01:08:19,92 --> 01:08:22,61
a time like Marshall I think there's been
so many people that have done such great

860
01:08:22,62 --> 01:08:26,24
things for our district over the years and
know that it's been recognized here by

861
01:08:26,25 --> 01:08:30,71
the committee and present members and past
members alike feel that we should have

862
01:08:30,72 --> 01:08:34,02
something place and I think it is great
because one of the things that we've been

863
01:08:34,27 --> 01:08:38,68
you know focusing on so much is that you
know it's the it's the town school and

864
01:08:38,69 --> 01:08:44,41
it's the school's time and chance to
recognize people that have done so much for

865
01:08:44,42 --> 01:08:46,84
the school and so much for the town is

866
01:08:46,85 --> 01:08:53,21
a great way to. Continue that that that
that relationship that's so strong between

867
01:08:53,22 --> 01:08:58,87
the school and the town and again our staff
our teachers our aides our parents our

868
01:08:58,88 --> 01:09:04,76
Or you know athletes in musicians in and
folks like you think government me this so

869
01:09:04,77 --> 01:09:09,72
many different you know graduates who could
probably fall into this criteria that

870
01:09:09,73 --> 01:09:12,93
it would be a nice way
to kind of you know have

871
01:09:12,94 --> 01:09:17,36
a not just single on one one focus of
the school community but all of layers

872
01:09:17,45 --> 01:09:24,36
students staff in community members and
I want to just you know bring this

873
01:09:24,37 --> 01:09:28,61
forward tonight for more discussion and you
get to get some insight from you folks

874
01:09:28,62 --> 01:09:34,44
as far as what you would like to see me
do as far as trying to get more more

875
01:09:35,34 --> 01:09:36,93
info again there's not

876
01:09:36,94 --> 01:09:40,63
a lot out there to ask to be actually there
are super tennis conferences coming up

877
01:09:40,64 --> 01:09:40,69
in

878
01:09:40,70 --> 01:09:44,14
a week Demick eight one of the things I was
going to talk about with some members down

879
01:09:44,15 --> 01:09:49,61
there that I will see at various workshops
and try to get names here. Again only

880
01:09:49,62 --> 01:09:53,89
few responded back as far as they're
already doing this and I think there is no

881
01:09:53,90 --> 01:09:59,22
reason why we can't get something like this
in place pretty time factions. Open up

882
01:09:59,23 --> 01:10:05,42
to you folks to share your thoughts and
fears and things might want. To sign it

883
01:10:05,74 --> 01:10:11,98
more. With Thank you turn it over to the.
Committee I would just like to note that

884
01:10:12,63 --> 01:10:15,94
this is something probably within the
next month or so that the policies of

885
01:10:15,95 --> 01:10:20,14
committee will be discussing with Mr Green
Athena as well but I certainly want your

886
01:10:20,15 --> 01:10:26,22
direction and your input before we do so
so questions or comments Mr if you went.

887
01:10:28,88 --> 01:10:29,05
To.

888
01:10:45,89 --> 01:10:49,01
The only question I had and I apologize
for not knowing this I haven't had

889
01:10:49,02 --> 01:10:52,46
a student go through the high school yet
what do we aready have in place as far as

890
01:10:52,47 --> 01:10:59,43
recognition for athletes or scholars or
music or drama Do we have any areas does it

891
01:10:59,44 --> 01:11:04,52
needed already for that and would we be
pulling it all together is this all new

892
01:11:04,90 --> 01:11:05,20
There is

893
01:11:05,21 --> 01:11:11,22
a Hall of Fame for the athletics that
is is run by an independent group of.

894
01:11:12,47 --> 01:11:16,48
People who are invested in that I'm not
sure they do something every year or not I

895
01:11:16,49 --> 01:11:21,98
So I truly do not know that looking for.
OK so that at least in the last three

896
01:11:21,99 --> 01:11:27,08
years they haven't. Been as active as
I think they were in years past it's

897
01:11:27,09 --> 01:11:31,02
certainly not something sponsored by
the school and it's not something as

898
01:11:31,03 --> 01:11:34,54
consistent as I'm sure they would have
wanted it to be and that's understandable

899
01:11:34,55 --> 01:11:38,82
people have you know lots of things that
they have to do so which is why I'm

900
01:11:38,83 --> 01:11:43,38
totally in favor of having the schools
sponsor something like this to make sure

901
01:11:43,39 --> 01:11:48,07
that we continue to integrate the community
in terms of academics. There are

902
01:11:48,08 --> 01:11:53,58
various. Certain scholarships and plaques
around the school on display I don't

903
01:11:53,59 --> 01:11:57,71
think nearly as many are on display in
the new high school I believe there are

904
01:11:57,75 --> 01:12:01,29
they're still housed in the
building. But there are

905
01:12:01,50 --> 01:12:07,69
a few select scholarships that are
displayed around the school but certainly

906
01:12:07,70 --> 01:12:14,34
nothing along these lines. Correct me if
I'm wrong I know exactly right there are

907
01:12:14,35 --> 01:12:18,56
some some academic awards that
go out and I mean that added to

908
01:12:18,57 --> 01:12:25,41
a an ongoing plaque but there's nothing
of this nature writes instance right. Mr

909
01:12:25,42 --> 01:12:32,11
Did you have questions comments. Policy
Subcommittee to get that same way like

910
01:12:32,26 --> 01:12:38,71
anybody else. And so I left if I D.M.

911
01:12:39,08 --> 01:12:45,88
With this then take away the option
of. A room or third space building

912
01:12:46,05 --> 01:12:50,81
being named after them I don't think so no
but just provide them that they're right

913
01:12:51,30 --> 01:12:54,47
and that their options right and
simply because somebody has

914
01:12:54,48 --> 01:12:58,17
a room named after them already doesn't
mean that they can't go into the whole

915
01:12:58,18 --> 01:13:01,77
famed or Hall of Honor doesn't mean that
they will automatically go in right away.

916
01:13:03,01 --> 01:13:07,05
You know my vision or at least when we
started talking about this and when we

917
01:13:07,06 --> 01:13:09,40
brought it up Jeff you and
I brought it up again

918
01:13:10,15 --> 01:13:14,27
a couple months ago was that maybe
our first class or two would be

919
01:13:14,28 --> 01:13:17,70
a little bigger than what they typically
would be just to kind of let it gain

920
01:13:17,71 --> 01:13:19,47
legitimacy so we don't have

921
01:13:19,48 --> 01:13:23,35
a year go by and there's only three people
in it but again that's something that

922
01:13:23,36 --> 01:13:28,24
the committee can discuss going forward the
sub committee will discuss. As of right

923
01:13:28,25 --> 01:13:29,94
now I think I think this is

924
01:13:29,95 --> 01:13:36,49
a great start. For the
questions comments. So maybe

925
01:13:36,86 --> 01:13:41,82
in August we can point you know to be
Policy Subcommittee and look at some of the

926
01:13:41,83 --> 01:13:43,37
languages that are out there there's not

927
01:13:43,38 --> 01:13:47,33
a lot then have it but we can know absent
actions done it would be injuries done

928
01:13:47,34 --> 01:13:51,45
and there seems to be things from. Both
that we can pull in and ideas of our own

929
01:13:51,46 --> 01:13:55,83
that we have to make it a little Marshfield
centric as it should be but this is

930
01:13:55,84 --> 01:13:59,49
a great start so thank you for your research
and thanks for asking me to do this

931
01:13:59,50 --> 01:14:05,10
and again and anything we can celebrate
academic success and the success of our

932
01:14:05,44 --> 01:14:09,14
community that's what
we should be. A great.

933
01:14:12,73 --> 01:14:19,50
Yeah. That's that's an excellent
suggestion I will do that. OK

934
01:14:20,19 --> 01:14:24,62
Moving forward we will go to the minutes
from June twentieth two thousand and

935
01:14:24,63 --> 01:14:31,12
seventeen. When I read through these
I did not have anything noted.

936
01:14:32,78 --> 01:14:35,46

01:16:26,86 --> 01:16:30,10
very in-depth in everything that you cover
with the schools you've written great

955
01:16:30,11 --> 01:16:34,55
articles over your last year at the
Marshfield Mer and we want to thank you for

956
01:16:34,56 --> 01:16:38,54
everything that you've done I certainly
hope I'm not breaking any walls that should

957
01:16:38,55 --> 01:16:42,89
exist between the press and the committee
by saying this but but sincerely you have

958
01:16:42,90 --> 01:16:46,51
kept our community up to date on what we're
doing you've been very fair throughout

959
01:16:46,52 --> 01:16:49,68
all of it we want to thank you for that
we want to wish you the very best of luck

960
01:16:49,69 --> 01:16:55,04
as you explore your new
employment. You know.

961
01:17:03,21 --> 01:17:04,58
That being said the chair will entertain

962
01:17:04,59 --> 01:17:09,48
a motion to enter executive session not
to return to open session this would be

963
01:17:10,12 --> 01:17:12,44
a roll call vote move by
Mr Greer is there a second

964
01:17:13,46 --> 01:17:20,40
a second for Mrs Church Mrs desperate
you could call the roll. Yes Yes

965
01:17:20,93 --> 01:17:21,67
