recognition of our retirees that's all were there days you felt almost that all some of you not all will be here but we will read their names anyway will move on to spinelli requests for beds mr uke now proposed school committee meeting date other matters and at nine twenty approximately we will go into executive session for the discussion of the draft of the collective bargaining agreements for the foxboro custody a workers association foxborough management maintenance workers association and foxboro educational secretaries association and to discuss contract negotiations with non union personnel as an opening meeting may have detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the school committee the school committee will return to open session for an update of collective bargaining agreements and a vote by the com eleanor will not be surprised that she is first twenty five you years of service as the food service manager at the b if we if we have another shelter will you come back to cook because i think the senior citizens are expecting that with all of that because that would be an expectation you have already set and the standard to and she had twenty one point eight years of service in the foxboro school so we think  next step is diane horton who is the teacher extraordinary at the middle school and she has had fifteen years of service in the fa next is cheryl law who has been an elementary teacher most recently and mostly in third grade you cheryl has given eighteen years of service to the foxboro public schools and i will really miss sheryl committee many times the art department had twelve an art teacher at the high school he can't be a tonight but he has given twenty eight years of service facs with public school next but not president judy sherlock who's been an educational assistant for over twenty five years in the foxboro public schools mostly at the elementary level we thank her for many years of service next is mr might know he has been in the possible public schools for fourteen years as a middle school  know about i know as many of you know back in the fall one of our bus drivers kathleen walsh retired with over twenty years of service of the fox schools conference and here tonight we have a wonderful gathering for her and last but not least and we did expect her to be to be here tonight but i just got word this afternoon her mother is quite ill in albany so lori waterman is retiring from the fox public schools as a twenty seven year kindergarten teacher and i know she would be here you may you know maybe appropriate somebody else reading this may not totally realize and you as facts for public schools as one of a few that were chosen as a race to the top school you made forget your i mean this is a great way to be up to here because as you know throughout the here we have started every school you learning highlight which is for those watching home something interesting or exciting or news or just plain words that kids have gotten and as this is our last official meeting in this fiscal year i think this is a great transition because i want to hear you talk to you about the high school summer reading which we're calling they're calling one book one school it started last summer so references and i think it was a valuable text for us particularly our wormholes and i think it if it stayed with a number of the kids i think they the lessons there that they won't forget and we feel just as excited about this year's book the process now is that every one of the faculty can make a suggestion we have a suggestion box and a suggestion entails a rather lengthy sort of description of the book and why it would be good for foxboro and how it appeals to our core values and this year the one that we we voted on as faculty and and thought was the best choice came from marla davis lonergan history teacher her suggestion it's called the last lecture by around randy pausch it's quite a compelling book for me it's so full of life and full of witty little anecdotes and here was a man who really had the world by the tail he was a director of computer science at carnegie carnegie mellon institute in pittsburgh  who was doing groundbreaking work with virtual worlds i'm not an expert on that myself but i was able to glean quite a bit of knowledge of that in this book and his work with visual virtual worlds enabled him to get hired by disney is an imagineer which was one of his life long goals was he grew up admiring to people walt disney and captain kirk and so this was just such a you know a wonderful moment for him and  he met the woman of his dreams he had to fight like crazy the get her to move to pittsburgh to join in with him that those are great chapters in the book they even left their wedding in a hot air balloon which and then  near disaster in landing so that's a very it's still chapter and tragically pausch was diagnosed with terminal cancer was given basically four to five months to live and the irony is that at carnegie mellon they had this last lecture series where it wasn't for terminally ill people was for people who you know if you were it was hypothetical his last lecture but you can see the lecture on youtube and another student for the students out there we recommend that you do watch the lecture and much of what's in the book is in the lecture itself of spirit that he had and he he gave this last lecture not fur his colleagues killed he gave it for his children and this is was the legacy that he wanted to leave with them because they're young kids and they you know probably wouldn't remember much so and now they'll have a lifetime of memories within the lecture itself and the book so we think the kids will love it for a book that would appear to be morbid it's anything but it's everything other otherwise and so and then let's get to the real issue the test is the one that i just made is fifty multiple choice questions i think they're very fair if you basically trace randy's childhood and all the episodes he gives us about that his marriage to j oh by the way i've contacted jay's agent and she's just written a book herself she's quite a stalwart woman mazie woman and i'm number of different ways and put out offer to her to come  this small book as well one of my children is actually really read it she's in college but i think it's it's a great choice and i know last year was a really really great experience so i love the idea that you came up with i'm thinking about think back to the days when they had their required reading less than you know sometimes with pain from th so i'm really happy you mentioned that because i don't want forget to say that when first thanks to jury rule destroyed for setting this up on our website this page also at the bottom of the website there's a link to social studies mathematics and science departments have listed extra credit reading assignments they're really cool what projects there are really cool that if the kids want to come and get extra credit right off the bat in the beginning of the school year next year they have a list of titles and it's not you have to read any of them but there are some great texts there are now they've done a wonderful job so there are more books there our summer reading this taking place certainly as well one of the things that the middle school is doing much like the high school has like this one they have two books that are required for students going into fifth sixth seventh and eighth and it is the same base for the one required but and then they're suggested reading lists for the other picks for them to select and those themes are based on treating others with respect to accepting differences and that ties in with our elementary and that the themes through our grades one two three and four are theme days and it can extract caring school community curriculum and that text for grades went into that the miss friendship and fo reinforce cooperation and teamwork so you will see that the connection from the first all the way out through grade twelve it's connecting two same text same experience and that theme what we're going back to what are our core values and it all ties together all of the information is right on the website it connects to the point libraries to as far as suggested list that are there the activities for students to engage in and then great resources for parents whether it's from the very early on activities that are games and reading supplements for them and then other ideas for texts and the middle school had the new england patriots kick off their summer reading with three three of the patriots players in the assembly for there to be there are scenes that work and their playbook and they'll turn their playbooks then after the summer and we'll have the opportunity they've met at least two reading books to be in a raffle to have lunch with one of the players so lots of great the partner because i know it's a team effort and i know that you play the important role having gone through many years where it was a struggle to get numerous boy although there would have been incentive with the lottery it's so great to have something that is you know that ties back into our values into the climate and the fact that then there are still things that they can do in any other subject i just i want to prejudge i think that's fantastic and i you know this is reality based this is a fantastic books outliers was and i think it does also impact it when you cite in your reading and you love to read you do remember when you're starting out fully engaged and i just think this is just a great way to counsel still meet with the student talk about their recommendations but this way it's a lot easier for students and teachers to get the recommendations that's mean if we go down just a little bit of bottom of the  said on the next page page six our e p potential numbers have pretty much increase across the board real quick what if the potential is is for software engineers who take the p s a t's depending on where their scores are we can basically put in a certain bunch of information and we can it's like eighty five percent chance of whether or not they're going to get a certain score so we're three or better for better we put in eighty five percent chances of three or better on the a p exams and sixty seven next year it's for eighty three so we are able to see some differences there and that's kind of expanding our numbers across the board right now given that it gives us an opportunity to kind of challenge some of the other kids to say that you know that well you know it is something we're starting to work on the one i spoke back in september we're talking about how we added the u s history one to the tenth grade we're talking more down the line expanding some of our other possibly doing some of the history haven't and i don't want anyone to write it down and this meeting we there are conversations that have to be had i don't we haven't had them yet so it's encouraging moving in that direction but that's all we can say as of june twenty twelve w g what we've done in the process is we train one of the one of the drawbacks is the training of the jews in order to be able to offer the course and so we're the point where we train and we keep adding we're asking more bad teachers to go to school but the more sections they take on then there are classes that they're not going to be teaching and so we there is not an even swap in other words the numbers are always work out quickly so there are some staffing implications so we have to look at it through the context of the budget as well to make sure that we can and we have additional staffing even if it's a partial additional seven to cover the classes that they're longer teaching so it's a bigger picture than our kids ready it's also are we ready and do we have enough staffing to accompany that so you know we have to look at and make that decision so i don't have a number in my head of the fact that all the numbers be relatively even across the board so i think one point two years ago we had an issue and i think it was the d m brought it up that we had a larger grade ten and eleven classes in english in history that we had to pay attention to and so again we would pay attention to those courses as we continue to build the program so having meetings usually either every week or every other week to talk about a whole range of guidance issues and social motional this year we added a few new components we got our school nurse our school social worker and our special  department head just to kind of get some other possible avenues to go down if we need to go down those roads we've we know it's a pretty significant increase in social emotional needs some are minor some are major so the more we can get percent from two year colleges i think it's exciting that people want to get at least two years do you think part of the economics are striving now right now they can maybe plan a definitely in two  years i think to a certain extent i don't know if it's necessarily all fifteen or thinking about but not just because that's you know from seven to fifteen percent that's that you know that stuff not every day every year we hear students say you know i'm thinking of going to wherever i there is a train starting we're going down with college so overall and you see an increased use of supplemental pay to have the back were those we still have round two to three percent last year it's been for two years in a real three percent into the military but that directly high school to work has been increasing and that may also be economics but that's something that i think may drive schools or career in some other things there are a piece of students that are deciding you know college w more power to them because i give them a lot of credit for trying to figure out really what they want to do well one of the things in life i think you're right we've never really funded everything we want to do for school to get a partnership so again it'll come down to there should be at some growing you know population do we stay in touch with them like me so that we you know how many students how many folks for high school graduates have actually graduated from college or graduated from community college or these other when your programs one percent go to the one year program do we keep track we don't know we don't know oh i think what most kids really have to be mindful of when they're going to some of those two year colleges you if they have a real goal in mind and they're  choose the other interesting thing anecdotally some of the kids whether they're here or children of other people you know one of them that there's a lot more to talk about from the kids level of both being more conscious of their parents ability to pay for college and what that's going to themselves forward unless they show what they want to do or wait a bit so i know i've heard that from some young people saying that you know i don't know exactly what i want to do and i'm not so sure i want to waste a semester if i figured out so i think there's a lot of it at play and you think it's not just the parents  go up and down all your sort of growth of the specific number and some are severe weather hospitalized and some just have a hard time staying in their math class for a week or it really is such a major range as hard to really give a specific answer you know i would i would say based on crazy but i do think that's you know that is something that you know the percent of the population it's tutored the percentage of the population that is at risk because she did have a number last year and we know it's increasing it just would be helpful to you know keep track of them number i think what you do is outstanding i think this report is outstanding but i think sometimes it's knowing the numbers are very helpful to us from a bunch of perspective i would say based on our mental health team our program and one is on mental health team so somewhere along the way we catch them at some point and then try to set up a plan to support the best we can eight there in the knees and permit range they're put on the p p what that means for the student is they're required to take a fourth year of that subject either math or english we as guidance counselors were teachers to monitor their progress make sure the roles in the rec classes make sure we have the right documentation as far as the midterms and finals and currently we have forty students and now thirty two for english to a total of seventy two the you know we have before selection within a few days weeks later they're a little more prepared of what's coming and we have our conversation to understand when he's all about so whether it was a really great success and where it really happy about it could potentially every student news and rolled it into a feast you know for the upcoming year and we had each individual teacher meet with those students and parents to describe every specific instance of what's going on in the year so everyone's involved they know what the syllabus is they know what right direction i'm really happy with with our progress and i think it could be a lot easier for the teachers next year moving on to power schools new things but that there's talk of trying to do this next year we have to see how the points go but i think one of things we're students and parents were really excited about that also another great thing is a teacher printings apprentice at the i go school what's really happening next year is we have a handful of students right now we're going to be going down i go to school and working with elementary school children a couple times a week so it's going to be a piece of semester that two to four students from the work with them basically being the one i want to mentor and the classroom teacher will still be there in  the class will still be with them just kind of a little one i want to mention for some of the younger students it's great for young students to have an older high school room or hope that the same time it's great for the high school students who forget that their life experience  workforce and a little bit of a higher number there what we're doing guidance along with our own goals really is we're trying to expand what steven caulker communities are as far as careers and jobs so we're interested so we want people to be successful after high school it's not just be successful in the walls of fox where i want them to be successful forever so we want to kind of give them a little opportunity to see what's out there eat anything kind of peaks are interested in then and move forward that way so we're very excited about the future opportunit we package deal together and send it  so the end of the year report next page is very similar we're talking about the gap with the tribulation very similar as well with the breakdown of two thousand time eleven twelve where everyone's going as far as their everything got there on time everything got there where it was supposed to go so we're we're very very pleased about that real quick coming up on the next page which just really does the breakdown of where everyone is going for n it might be a little bit harder for us you don't want them to take it personally if they didn't get in but you know we don't have a good track record with them that we don't have a good track record sure so you know why would they look favorable on your students but i mean kids leave for different reasons to  effort and i remembered my first year the push the guidance made to work to get it back so it's a mutual relationship and all good has come of it certainly so thank you we've done an awful lot fox for a school and because i think our collective idea was to have an update on stage on the strategic plan to get its first year which is now at the same time create a district report card based on that plan and when we went to do this and we're talking about it last couple of weeks we're going to do that we realized that the timing of the district report card which is a nice summary of everything that's you know what the district is in the picture it really isn't possible unless you want to include everything but academic achievement because the  cast results are needed so that you know once i think in future years when we get a faster turn around when they are when their national exams called the park assessments that are coming in a few years we expected a quicker turnaround we might have that data by the end of the year but when we work collecting this for the queen and this was these were my thoughts as you sure i've already read that to update you on the progress on the plan itself we just had an update a few months ago update and so being that this is a multi year plan at the end of year one most everything under objective one which is to continue to offer a curriculum that's rigorous and dynamic and promotes high levels of achievement for all students all of those three your goals and the strategies to support them are still in progress which is just to continue to strengthen school culture ensuring that students staff and all stakeholders feel valued safe to have a voice we didn't complete the first year goal as we mentioned to you three months ago where we established a system for collecting perception data about school cultur climate those were the cultural climate surveys that went out to staff parents and students in grades students only six to twelve and we have all that baseline data that we have collected and our next goal is to look at that data to establish three year goals related to school culture so that's the one change you see august two thousand and twelve and grey because our ministry of team has discussed it and as of the last minister to meeting which was only two weeks ago we also have new information coming as i just put on the cover memo from the mass tell survey mess tells the massachusetts teaching learning and leading survey that teachers are invited to participate and the state encourages fifty percent or more participation  teachers and just or so we're trying to get that fifty percent mark then we did if we get to the fifty percent mark you get the results back to civic to your district or your school so i think four of the five schools got to the fifty percent mark so we will actually get the data back from that so we just got the data back from that in the last two weeks so the ministry of team in discussing that we've got the disadvantage of the four to five schools what we would prefer to do is to look at both of those data sources the culture of climate survey and the mass tells which has some parallels to a lot of parallels and some different questions and each and to really get into that rather than come up with some goals based on one and then we look at the mess tell you see what's if you little bit contradictory maybe we need to dig in a little bit but we'd like to look at both of those data sources to come up with a three year goals relieved cultural climate and we think that a good time to do that is that our administrative retreat in august and certainly if you would like to look at some of the early data at our school committee retreat we can do so and you can identify some areas that you'd like to see a set goals around that wouldn't foremost better for our august meeting so that's a recommendation from our whole team that we wait to be able to consider all of the data that we have from both sources but certainly up to the school committee about what the timing is of the development of those goals in there and in the report card itself so you can see the strategies under objectives to him that we've achieved we've completed the first two strategies we have not yet started some strategies so for example piloting various surveys at different levels this is through our key twelve and so i account to get a pretty information hits two way communication and want to do that but we're not sure what we're about it's our communities that care youth survey which perceptions and actual use of drugs and alcohol and other controlled substances so we they actually are middle high school students are three surveys over the course of all to say  spring so it isn't that we aren't getting information we have a lot of information is getting it back and making it real and invaluable so we haven't piloted any additional surveys because we're not sure what we want to survey about yet  we do plan to integrate in current issues into future creature surveys have to requote we haven't had any new controversial issues this year but if we if we do we would certainly incorporate that so those are not yes but we have two more years at least for this pla objective three just from the point is to prepare students with skills for the twenty first century and those are communication collaboration of critical thinking and creativity and usually creativity is as it applies to problem solving  and we have begun to implement the new technology skills curriculum k through eight and we were really up in the n t with that in september this is the first year that we've started with that with this test we have not yet integrated those twenty first century is we are going to roll that into our district technology plan so we have a technology plan that has need a little bit of work we've started working on that as a central office team and we will continue to work on that with the administrative team and actually have a report here sometime in the next we are but what is our technology play and how can we explain where we're trying to go and how we plan to get there so that is part of fact so rather than doing something in isolation which i think is what we tend to do we try to roll a plan for there's we judge it's all incorporated into our district knology plan which we've been working on the last couple of months with probability and very quickly some of objective four is to maintain strong support public always be i have to say that i don't want to give many thanks to the town which we've done since the meeting we have a lot we continue to have strong public education support here in the town and very grateful for that the strip the fourth go develop strategy for promoting the fox more schools is part of that district report card that i'm sure we talk about a few minutes and the strategy support those four goals are either ongoing in progress the only thing that hasn't happened yet is the district report card which will know a direction where you go and it's very helpful and they have spoken with you and certainly i'm supportive of your plan and your timeframe and i think it makes sense to work on the report card over the summer and pretentiously review with even in line at the same time we review your evaluation  because i think they would go hand in hand so to me that makes perfect sense just one question if i can my own speaking some of these things that we marked in progress would be your plan to give us a little more detail as to how we're progressing and one example would be the the under objective three very soon for twenty first century where you talked about getting access to innovative technology tools and you say yes we're doing that some progress yet i don't want to create a lot of work for you in naming the staff but i think you'd be helpful for us discussion that that evening was very helpful to me because we kind of all understood where we are and where our attention needs to focus so the next step after that entry point and finding instances where the findings so it is it was my job as a new superintendent and with the department of bed and intensive solution joint program is to develop strategies as a result of those findings so in our conversations at in my cohort th always a little bit of a rub with the district already has a strategically and if they don't have a strategic plan if they have one that's out of date coverage so some people like me where there was one that was just newly adopted within you know less than a year and that would be us there are other people who had one very old and was out of date could make nord there were other people who were in the middle of it or almost at the end of it which is even more awkward to be honest with you and there's some people didn't have one at all so what are charge was is to keep the strategically i'm sitting next to it but not necessarily to develop my superintendent strategy strictly around a strategic plan develop when i wasn't the superintendent so the goal is to try to have them belong to each other or relate to each other without being identical thing so the whole idea is to take all of those complex findings and distill them into a few key priorities and they literally say two to four priorities so the phrase that's often used is that we're trying to get from great to greater most people talking district improvement more generalized so the question is where do we really think that if we really place not to use language like that but where it's really where you can place that's what do you really focus your energy on and say i bet that if we really do this with more energy with more focus with more rigor that it will make a difference so these are the three things that we have  identified under leadership growth and development provide opportunities for shared leadership growth and development of faculty in a ministry professional learning communities collaborative inquiry data coaching looking at student work administrative professional development and other structures for professional collaboration to impacts didn't achievement across all grade levels and content areas and as you know this directly links to that first objective in the street play and about improving academic achievement so what this really says is if we we do all these things now or we've begun the work in all of those things previously mentioned but we can't say we do them all to the nth degree or with hundred percent fidelity four hundred percent of effort so if we in the answer those structures for teachers in mysteries to collaborate but it's really the meat and potatoes of what we plan to do about the second strategic objective we had unified under advance warning is to create more opportunities for advanced learning to differentiate instruction in richmond challenge cheered curriculum and extra curricular clubs and activities to inspire students to find their niche pursue their passions and meet their interests this also breaks that same objective wanted in the strategic plan because if you can inspire kids to try more things to follow their passions to pique their interest that's the idea is that that would lead to better student achievement so we've talked a lot here about richmond challenge and opportunities for advanced learning and when i did the entry plan findings it kind of came through loud and clear that while there are more things that we can do for students who are struggling or need intervention or remediation we have a lot of those programs in place and while there are everything else in the in the findings are not something we're letting go we are trying to do it all so nothing gets dropped but where we're putting the most effort is here so i think as a community we felt that we do a fairly good job with kids who need remediation or intervention or who need to you know improve to the grade level standards and there are still a few things we want to do better but we really need to put our efforts is what about the students who are capable of learning so you can see the strategic initiatives underneath that that we plan to work a little bit harder on to provide the opportunities twenty first century skills is the third area to meet the needs of twenty first century learners by clearly defining twenty first century skills so those foresees we use it all our communication collaboration creativity critical thinking but we don't know if we've really defined it for faculty for students even older instructor on their own learning we have to make sure we clearly define those things we need to embed those skills into regular classroom instruction expanding collaboration among students and staff providing technology based professional development in communicating the district's technology play into the public we've talked a lot about that especially since bill arrived and that's something we don't feel we don't vary so that is linked to all of that and you can see some of the initiatives that we plan to work on to achieve that objective so those three things together and so are the three pieces that speak to our theory of actions where theory of action is that if we provide opportunities and supports for professional embed twenty first century skills effectively it's not just about using technology for me from myself and embed twenty first century skills effectively then we will ensure that students have a well rounded educational experience that prepares them for college career and global so should we have a bed this into our future plan to reduce these are the action items or focus areas that support her strategic plan because we're at the beginning as we're going through this so this gets confusing and i want to get it i don't want to give our no but it's sort of the plan around it that's ideally very few districts are following the ideal timeline so the the tricky thing is how do one bed this was something that was just a year ago before we really collected all the details findings i mean we collected as much as we could but not to the format that was required of me as a new superintendent so it's two very helpful processes that somehow have to come together so you can either look at this as embedded behind it which i think is fine if you voted to be attached to the street plan i think that's fine or we could wait and as we go forward you can have a go around where you physically embed this in in the future i don't think it matters because we're going to keep looking a comments and i think it's as an attachment i don't have a problem with it i think that's probably a good way to go yet just as an attachment i do like all three of the areas i think they're great and i wondered if under leadership growth and development if it the first time i read that i was thinking that was and we've we started all of these things collaborative increase data coaching as you know we took the course last summer several of us took that many of us took a course last summer so we're doing all these things what we're saying is if we work on our professional development as a this would be a great framework for the report card going forward it's all going to eventually come together nicely i don't i don't think with this next version or the first version the report card you probably shouldn't comment too deeply on this but we others track how we do in these three area don't want people think going to happen i think is just really gives you a real progress going you can point to something else and bring it into focus on a few media items and try to do well so we had several go arounds at the superintendent's table where people sort of suggested some of their perhaps objectives and there's a lot of discussion about don't make them we make the media make them meaningful and i really think working with our team that we did this was our first this is our first three had to get out we didn't change anything we just said if those those are meeting those will be effective and we're going to only go there services to electrical service was correct is there any i know that's not yes i'm sorry richard brothers also did on the electrical service but work harder i just noticed the coincidence that they're on two of them is there any value or and just a discussion if i can certainly so it's a lot of money obviously into the selectric award but you've done the research bill the feel comfortable when you knew that you mentioned just now that you were expecting somewhere around a quarter of a million  operate we currently have very old mechanical systems that are not the electronics tight controls that you currently have and there is a concern with that we also have some of the lighting fixtures themselves in the wiring to that  months but in april if you remember just a few months ago it was we had the meeting right after they were vacation week and then because of tell meeting was really more than a month before we met again it seemed like a long time so instead of coming back to monday right after it will be cation good so that's really the only difference other than that i think we like to use standard operating procedure for the timing of your meetings and unless you have other thoughts of something that didn't work or you'd like to see different scene by school while shooting and now you' into yes of although of course we always have five snow days built in so i guess i'd like to take every opportunity starting when it's hot out to tell people if you're a faculty member watching you know those five days count the terms of the whole school calendar people need to plan their lives with the addition of five snow days because there are better dental school calendar and they are available for school so we don't want people to be planning vacations starting on the nineteenth because you have to build in the five snow days so as you can see here did there they hold their own information sessions two on two different days actively when same thursday one of the elementary school where the high school and did their whole information session for their membership and then came back the following monday which was a week ago and the membership ratified so i'm very proud to be working there with teachers who really embrace something new especially something new as large as that is so it's a great place to be foxworth was a great place to be and we work with wonderful educators who are ready to take on probably the biggest challenge we've had and to do it together so we're it's at this point i just really want to offer them all congratulations and who knows they're fabulous to work with and at this everybody all the time and i think we should take probably one more walk through before we give back one penny to anybody and i think we should go and see the things that we wanted to make sure that we included and see if there's anything else that we need to pay attention to because i'm walking through it the first time and i know i'll take my kids from everybody in town knows but this is a project we were given the authority to make sure that we bring th will talk about what we still have to deal with because i do not want to come back here next year with a giant c r p item and saying oh by the way we should have done this we should have included it i think it would be foolhardy about parts so i really think we need to cate i just want to say with this is my last meeting it has been an honor to sit on the school committee martha it has been a wondrous nine years i'm looking forward to sit in the audience so i'm not going away and i will be here at every school committee meeting and i look forward to seeing you on july twenty third thank you i just before i call for the motion to go into executive session my roll call since we last met we had a very successful class night for seniors with so much to happen when almost three hours we had an extremely successful underclassman night several underclassmen freshman through juniors were honored and there were some people went away with as many as three awards yes they have pushed themselves and excelled themselves so much as successful graduation and i was very excited to see that our new i got principal mr stanton took part in the founders  on the i don't flow he was invited and was thrilled to be there and this is part two on her own initiative and nobody knew she was coming came to foxborough high school graduation which i thought was wonderful and she made an meeting on the weekend and if what if anybody signs up i it's a good savings by july i think fifteenth plan the middle of july what we can do i know several of us at least go for one day or more i'd like to recommend that we've reserved at least one we'll see for the full time because school on different days it well it is transferable great so with that i i would like  but i've been blessed because i had good superintendents and i had good teachers i had good play i had a good manager in the school committee and i had good chairs and you were one of those martha you were one of the best with franken when i go and  this for now as an opening as an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on bargaining position of the school we will be returning to open session for an update of the collective
