for approval kevin s so at that time you'll bring it up and ok and the other modifications anything with the agenda this is the time to do it ok all right so our first   and i just want to mention when we get going with this with the agenda discussion and stuff there's been a lot of great thoughts questions and stuff coming from various board members how we're setting up the agenda and whether it's sikh what c s u what's triple m what's both and all that and more like you know that i appreciate all that to address that in a future board meeting we are going to put the agenda out there as a topic of discussion just so hopefully by the time of july first we have just wanted to make sure everybody got to leave your letter that this was approved i haven't received anything from of the agency of education officially but i did last time i checked we didn't have the minutes but  it was approved i did get an e mail and this allows us to utilize the by laws that were approved thank you for all six that we discussed talked about it and it specifies the pieces i will also i'll send you a copy of the bylaws tomorrow just to make sure that you have them and i did learn also we don't need to approve the bylaws that are in your meeting but if we do need to amend them then we'll need to warn those in it specified in the bylaws if we want to make amendments we have to warn forty five minute forty five days in advance and then we have to tell people about why were revised so that would mean that the triple m board in the huntington school district everybody clear on that question you know anything else you just wanted to say favorite any questions right ok item three policy committee membership have you had any responses so far said he's going to join us i'm just going to come to the meeting tomorrow just wanted to say that at this point it's really unclear as to how frequently this committee is going to need to meet and a lot of that may change also with our governance model so joining into this committee doesn't tie anybody up in any specific way like like you might think like a monthly meeting at this point we do not have a good sense of where we need to go we've got one policy that we're working on now for the graduation requirements that will affect classes moving forward with the new e q s but we don't have a whole lot of work schedule so i wouldn't anticipate there'd be any meetings until the fall i'm hoping again that we would community doing the work but i don't forsee like it so there's a lot of action at this point he said states he's on that stacey is and it would be great if there was an alternative for her so that we can always have represent comment made by i think one of the richmond area board members who came to a recent board meeting and said he would be willing to serve on some committees and we think that as  this board and the triple m board are dealing with setting up the governance model and also dealing with the issue of communication consider some sort of possible way to tap into former board member of the retiring boards and perhaps create some sort of framework  lack of a better word saw before it members who would be available to serve on subcommittee since i'm making a point of discussion as an idea that might address the need to have more members who wouldn't be full time board members but who might be available to serve on a committee under some sort of legal framework that would be under this board by yes whatever we call it know my bridge that chasm between losing a lot of board members and having so many board members too many biases you know we would use people in a way but there were that they could be useful without overwhelming administrative people who can't deal with too many yeah and i would be interested in and revisiting that after we decide on our governance model and structure and see if that need still exists in the same way there are boards much smaller than us doing policy governance five member boards covering you know twelve hundred students who are doing policy in very different ways and i mean while i have thanks andy for joining us for an hour we have one policy we're working on like i said that we should be stopping for the summer market that i think is taking magazine idea i'm going to have a little bit more broadly one of the things that i was really pleased by and struck by throughout the merger conversation that the lead up to the merger vote was i think we did a good job of reaching out to various stakeholders within our respective communities and engaging them teaching them and asking them to support their effort and looking forward i think our borders are going to be facing challenges trying to implement innovative educational systems thinking about reform and some of those times will require active communication to our communities more active than we normally do you will  and so when i hear max's idea about continuing to keep former board members involved i think it would be also be both the first clue about how we want to people who are involved throughout the we did warn for discussion several policies that needed to be rescinded we gave some background about it we talked about a few of them i think just briefly left it open for anyone to review these policies on their own and ask me any questions if they were not clear about it should be on the policy development website part of our web page and so this is the official warning for these policies to be rescinded and we would be doing them all in one motion so the policies do begin people have there the agenda in front of them correct so at this point we can make a motion to rescind all the policies as listed and then have a discussion or i can ok now discussion where there been any questions about these lovely policies that were either outdated redundant has been already replaced supplanted by other laws and guidelines  there's a notation that you know can can provide some clarity around because it was pretty good on the grid but it actually had i think we had one that just had the policies to be rescinded so i think we can do that dealing with the fall off school calendar and had discussed that we as a board we're not going to move to change that but that we as a board with communication committee u governing board meeting it's not really business but john you were saying you were going to send out a copy of the bylaws the new guidelines and i think that now would be great because the ones we had last had all across ounce and everything in it so it me so community comment under the triple m school board meeting hearing and seeing none we're going to move right into the student representatives report really supported the process with middle level principals but he has really gone at it of in a very positive way looking at how it can be a real opportunity to expand services for students programming for students and meet the needs of students over the next several years so i think thanks mike we would not be where we are right now if it wasn't for his efforts and leadership  student parent guardian in the school records so at that these are the middle schools or the high school all the teachers counselors and most of the ministers will be advisers know all t different a different name for the sensually working with a small group of students through the p r p process now not all these people are counselors not always people are career experts but what we're hoping to do is to help the student discover the questions they need to ask and then help them find the person they need to have that question not be the guidance counselor up in the high school into looking for an internship so it's a it's someone that perhaps pushes the student a little bit to think about five years down the team by the legislation a team needs to meet once a year and has to happen before november thirtieth of each year trying to help the student become we're going to maybe trying to find what they're interested in the subject why what what what what subject is their interest were as an eleventh grader you might be looking at multiple surveys  you might look at internships they've been on you might look at other things this week that they help the student figure out where they're going in what direction do what they're going to be going to and you know all the teams months when the when they leave the high school  t process because the state gave us a loose outline but they really didn't give us you know a straight road map they let us designer on which is great we designed it where knowledge the skills to make positive contributions to ever changing local and global communities so we started there to try to work backwards what you can see now and that is how we did this is th move through this in ages led by a teacher by her utilizing this to reflect reflection on the students complete a task that taps maybe a personality inventory of maybe a career career interest survey and maybe they work on their core values they do to complete their work they get their results they share that with their advisor they also that did you take it seriously kind of one of the first questions we had but also what led to the can we can we can drill deeper into the sob story to see why and all these are one of the great things about technology now is when you look at all the makes you know this is why we do it why why does the school focus on healthy watches why does our community value recycling the kids that are looking at there are values that shape decisions and also just a real product explanation exploration of a career field if grade drawled up a little deeper into personality traits and really starts to focus on what are your academic strengths that you're going to need to be successful high school of part of the legislation they they do say that we need to have a transition plan from each green tonight and what that transition plan should speak to is have the the structure to do it and what we're saying is we're going to spend two or three days there are really they're focused on us in some ways we're in a better shape that a lot of schools don't have the structure you are right now not only having to talk about this but also the struct ok so what happens is that the student take it we get the results and the students are going to email it to the parents the result of e mail we have to peer at the parents are going to give me a suggestion questions to answer and hopefully they will feeling our courage in education or forward but there are so if you were to look at my video which is almost ready to show people those are those are my those are my three core values so when i am when i'm thinking about making a decision i go to feeling i go do you know if am i making my making a courageous decision or i mean he decisions and is this decision helping me learn more so you know if i'm going through the process through students were piloting it this year with five advisories and we're having all the night through twelfth graders do it we're having this we're we're doing this with some some different levels of success play and to leave high school what am i doing next what steps are they taking it will be where am i going to go and they're going up hopefully if this goes the way we're thinking in may well have some sort of demonstration day and then you where students will be in front of their advisory invite people who are important to come in here and there their presentation as we get further down the road and we start to do the switch whole school learning expectation i just didn't have enough room to fit well there are at and then you currently there are four learning expectations that all students are expected to table and problem solve it and think it through and then be the ones who explained it to their their colleagues it had more we did it gets us they get us further out of that start right off the question related directly to john it sounds like mike's really taking the lead in doing the great job and developing appeal for you for the triple m c issue group has is our triple in communications subcommittee able pack on x y and z to win it's amazing and it's usually in a very different way than something that we would have done too but i'm i'm always amazed at how many people say that they're at the top of the heap throughout the state when you're talking about the capstone and i think you know i'm glad mike that you guys are looking at things like that the whole idea of personal learning plans is that doing something one way doesn't work for everybody so that capstone thing that someone might embrace might put another person into anxiety fits or they have to see the nurse every day so you know it's great that we can have options and i really like one of the things you were talking about where you i think you were talking about the core values project and that it really wasn't working as well in the tenth graders but you said the eleventh graders were all over it and that's one of those developmental things and one of those things you figure out and so it's great that we're just doing the boundaries and adjusting the ideas of you know training and you know we don't want to be moving programs or initiatives for forward that we're not doing well and to do that well you need some time to prepare ten the i r s really changed the rules for schools and basically you had to be a lot more organized you have to prepare plainly a third party had to agree to if they were going to participate in a four all three d all the boards in jim in east her offering these plans we have a plan that has to be updated from time to time when that happens i bring it back to the poor road and they discuss it talk about it and it's all done we facilitate the plans and the agreements and we send a fortune of their check to the company that they are participating with it's the same system but because we have six other districts that are combining and these other district dissolving we need to have a resolution so that we can offer these job of communicating with the town as well to make this a seamless and easy as possible i'll give you a little bit of background and you please and i can type in order of sharing anything that you and the property that's utilized by smiling now and that is what is owned by the town bolton school district has an agreement to lease the property with an option to transferring assets and liabilities to triple land we need to reassign the lease and the option to buy into the mt mansfield modified board so the lease assignment agreement that you received was prepared by tim used this of gravelle and shea and basically what it says is that the language that is in the lease and the option to buy will be transferred to the triple land so in moving forward a couple things that we've done one we have a survey that we're going to do this summer and i will bring that information back to the town on long with some feedback from andrew around well what it look like if we want to purchase this property it's about three point five acres and probably a quarter of an acre is once utilized by the smiley memorial school so  we would need to prove this lease assignment and then the bolton town of bolton would have to his well and the vote and school district test as well so tomorrow night  wednesday night we're meeting with the bolton school board and we're going to present the same document to them and ask them to approve  know it's intil two thousand and twenty eight we need to be there you know there would be and indeed to be purchased or another lease agreement agreed to but the terms of the lease are in the assignment and getting ahead of ourselves here a little bit are there specific terms for the option to buy yes it's in the it is for the three point five acres there is there is an option to purchase  pretty detailed about what those terms would be however and i don't mean to speak korean drew i mean we're going to need to do some negotiating very dangerous i've met  select board a few months ago because the use of that property has changed since the original lease was signed yeah so one of the things that has been added is fire department water access they're able to get into joint of rock to drop water so there's sort of a natural division between the small portion that would make sense for the schools because part of the building  is on top of this mine and my town and the remainder of the three and a half acres which the school really wouldn't have any interest in so i went to the town and said you know we've got this lease by the way we've been town i didn't get the feeling from the slot where they were looking to make any sort of the huge profit off this portion of land but you know just to clean things up that way the school district the three of district with them actually school by c s u triple m or there's only one and there's one thing peace we need to check out which is you ideally says to the library to the other way around don't we leasing from anyone else as opposed to us leasing our property out you know or releasing for any other schools it's only just this one little corner of the building but we will need to address now we don't but we are there you know there's some to reporter the three yeah it's probably a really silly one but i was looking at the governing board annual meeting and just looking at what was on the schedule and i just wanted to be clear  but just you know i'm so used to doing it nine years and just kind of i wanted to be clear that i was good but we had made that decision just fine because we're trying to save some little bit of money them is from orange pretty amazing on the changes that have happened but one of the things that they do i know you were asking me the about how you do it as you and i guess because they did policy governance first and then they found out that merging i mean they're really close to making arrests now is actually a secondary was an outcome of shifting to policy governance but what they talked about is that they have their supervisory union meeting from six to six thirty in one location all the other boards like carousel are all there and then maybe afterwards and what she said forth so the bulk of their work is being done and they're asked you meeting and she said the high school one last a little bit longer so i've gotten some other information and she's going to be happy to talk to us further right now i'm just having conversations if there's  particular question that people want to ask i can but she also give a really good example of policy governance where teachers had wanted to come before the four related to its dappy changes and the board looked at their request and said this isn't our purview and actually turfed back and said when you have an actual policy that you want to lobby for change then then come before us but otherwise this belongs in the realm of our c e o who belongs in the realm of our principles because they are in acting our policy of class sizes and staffing adjustments and i found that very fascinating because it really does change the conversation changers the kind of work that the boards  do so as we hear from the superintendents and that is we're able to hear from some of the board members think that you know some of those questions we can ask more even more about how that really changes your work to have any other questions you want me to ask these people i'm happy to do that also they don't have a policy committee of six and their policies have been so streamlined that they don't need to do much work in terms of like a policy committee at all they'll be tougher you that were her i'd say ninety nine percent done with getting everything in place to switch tax collection over to the town offices in jericho to undergo so we're going to start engaging the town offices more with  that director from the state and then communications will be going out to tell those affected taxpayers that are some major shift in how they're going to be paying their taxes so that will likely be happening in the next  tax collection shift is the common level of appraisal is being dissolved as well and merged into the full talents so there's a slight a very you know point zero zero not be curriculum which i'm an other point was on the upcoming meetings in case people are going to be attending the last guy on there it's actually the finance committees are not the first so forth thursday so it sorry could you give it to me again please have it in the agenda in the upcoming meeting section that triple as finance committee when you say says may twenty first it's hard the great figure with all those are all right welcome everyone now been enjoying this beautiful summer weather we had out there today i see dave has come out and appropriately dressed the celebrating the weather so at that time you'll bring it up in ok any other modifications anything with the agenda this is the time to do it ok all right so our first  em under the see if you governing board meeting is community comment to address that in a future board meeting we are going to put the agenda out there as a topic of discussion just so hopefully by the time of july first we have just wanted to make sure everybody got to we were letter that this was approved i haven't received anything from of the agency of education officials but i did last time i checked it didn't have the minutes but  it was approved i did get an e mail and this allows us to utilize the by laws that were approved thank you proles six that we discussed talked about it and it specifies the pieces i will also i'll send you a copy of the bylaws tomorrow just to make sure that you have them and i did learn also we don't need to approve the bylaws that are in your meeting but if we do need to amend them then we'll need to warn those in it specified in the bylaws if we want to make amendments we have to warn forty five minute forty five days in advance and then we have to tell people about why were revising it so that would mean that the triple on board in the huntington school district item three policy committee membership have you had any responses so far said he's going to join us and she's going to come to the meeting tomorrow just wanted to say that at this point it's really unclear as to how frequently this committee is going to need to meet and a lot of that may change also with our governance model so joining into this committee doesn't tie anybody up in any specific way like like you might think like a monthly meeting at this point we do not have a good sense of where we need to go we've got one policy that we're working on now for the graduation requirements that will affect classes moving forward with the new e q s but we don't have a whole lot of work schedule so i wouldn't anticipate there'd be any meetings until the fall i'm hoping again that we would community doing the work but i don't feel like it's there but there's a lot of action at this point he said states he's on that stacey is and it would be great if there was an alternate for her so that we could always have representation comment made by i think one of the richmond area board members who came to a recent board meeting and said he would be willing to serve on some committees and we think that as  this board and the curriculum for our dealing with setting up the governance model and also dealing with the issue of communication consider some sort of possible way to tap into former board member of the retiring forwards and perhaps create some sort of framework  for lack of a better word saw before it members who would be available to serve on subcommittees and i'm making a point of discussion as an idea that might address the need to have more members who wouldn't be full time board members but who might be available to serve on a committee under some sort of legal framework that would be under this board by yes whatever we call it now my bridge that chasm between losing a lot of board members and having so many board members too many viruses you know we would use people in a way but there was that they could be useful without overwhelming administrative people who can't deal with too many yeah and i would be interested in revisiting that after we decide on our governance model and structure and see if that needs still exist in the same way there are boards much smaller than us doing policy governance five member boards covering you know twelve hundred students who are doing policy in very different ways and i mean while i don't think cindy for joining us for an hour we have one policy we're working on like i said that we should be stopping for the summer because taking matters idea and looking a little bit more broadly one of the things that i was really pleased by and struck by throughout the merger conversation that the lead up to the merger vote was i think we did a good job of reaching out to various stakeholders within our respective communities and engaging them teaching them and asking them to support their efforts and looking forward i think our board it's going to be facing challenges trying to implement innovative educational systems thinking about reform and some of those times will require active communication to our communities more active than we normally do  world so when i hear max's idea of continuing to keep former board members involved i think it would be also be both the first thing about how we want to keep people who are involved throughout the we did more and for discussion several policies that needed to be rescinded we gave some background about it we talked about a few of them i think just briefly left it open for anyone to review these policies on their own and ask me any questions if they were not clear about it should be all on the policy development website part of our web page and so this is the official warning for these policies to be rescinded and we would be doing them all in one motion so the policies do begin people have there the are no agenda in front of them correct so at this point we can make a motion to rescind all the policies as listed and then have a discussion or i can ok now discussion where there been any questions about these lovely policies that were either outdated free dundon has been already replaced supplanted by other laws and with stephanie and gender and our policy committee we're meeting tomorrow and just make sure that there's a notation that you know can can provide some clarity around that because it was pretty good on the grid but it actually had i think we had one that just had the policies to be rescinded so i think we can do that the other business and the other c s u governing board meeting and it's not really business be john you were saying you were going to send out a copy of the bylaws to new guidelines and i think that now would be great because the ones we had last had all the cross out so everything in it so it felt very drafty at that time so to be great to see a finished product and you know just take a look at it that way now that we've got the waiver and it will be good i'll send it o
