newsletter just two days ago outlining a lot of good things that were happening in the von maur public schools over the last few weeks the newsletter goes out almost twice a month but everything from the publisher of student of the ship corp be for the united states who are really excited to support him all the way to the high school hosted a chinese america it's a national economic summit there is a whole lot of stuff going on in the schools and all six of our school system that's wonderful a lot of good so do we have a motion that in accordance with the massachusetts general laws chapter seventy six thousand two hundred and eighteen dollars whether or not the school committee is for educational opportunities for children foster care educational opportunities for military children and foremost sure some sort of brief background of why these policies  our overall curriculum the service delivery so our special education department is working their way through the audit right now and when the state reviews each district that they learn from each district has to go across the commonwealth and  it consistencies of certain policies that may be in place and come up with a standard policies around how certain services should be provided to certain students so example of that is exhibit c is the home student we can even go homeless assistance act this policy in general has been a place that was part of federal law so we should have a policy on this and they feel like this should be some consistency so they asked us to have a policy similar to this which we close exhibit city and they also have to leave policies that they want to put in place in their district which is exhibit a to b which reflects educational opportunities for children the prosecutor and educational opportunities for military children so these are basically model policies that have been generated by the state and their work with the ships across the commonwealth that they are now going to be asking everybody to put in place and the policy we endorse schoolteacher so i should similar so all of the cities and towns are responding to the needs of children in certain circumstances or have policies that are consistent so these three policies represent the in conforming with that expectation  online that we could have more of our practices drove the afternoon yet not have because we have more fields utilized during the day we will have way more students but we would have more students and indeed this is really about wanting to always make sure programs have so i'd like to maybe open up a discussion as to whether or not the school committee because of this was tended to want to sign a resolution a resolution calling for the funding of the foundation budget review commission recommendations in two thousand and nineteen whereas the commonwealth has a constitutional obligation and generational responsibility to provide high quality education every student regardless of income educational background or is there though whereas the massachusetts foundation is your view commission identified at least three areas employee health insurance english language learning and special education where the current massachusetts foundation budget for all significantly understates the true cost of educating students in the commonwealth and has failed to keep pace with rising cost whereas the underfunding means the cost of providing a quality education has increasingly been informed by the local communities most often at the expense of other vital municipal operation whereas investing in education today needs to higher incomes resulting in decrease in costs associated with law enforcement and public benefit programs where state and local economies are most effectively strengthened by investing in education and increasing the number of well educated workers whereas legislation supporting the recommendations of the foundation budget review commission will provide right pool opportunities and meaningful investment for successful and equitable education where is the state legislature has failed passed legislation to enact put to enact legislation to fully fund it and adopt the recommendations of the foundation budget review commission on or before july st two thousand and nineteen and that was just a generally when the legislative session and so hopefully that would be something will be done by that time and so i'll just say some of that text it came from but was presented to us about the from the resolution that we had before the committee voted on and passed and some of that i did look at what other cities and towns have done some just did a very general support of the promise that some of them  a very general partner state legislation and i wanted to try to keep something that was positive and did point out some of the concerns and issues but major groups of folks who work hard to recover the students of the state really believe that you do pushing for funding that kind of calibrates the the different cost drivers that all the ships have in a way that dollars and some of the differences were how they were looking at the funding how they were looking at income their families the service the vehicle they were going to use for determining the for doesn't really seem to be fair and there's a lot of really an equitable challenge there that that that i think that virtually the state set out to minimise or to mitigate a little bit interest is just for  state funding here we have the same characteristics of the same challenges you know special education language english language learners versus ensures that the things that are outlined in that original foundation budget commission other things that we just said we struggled with last week we had to do a very generous offer by the local community we don't want to be able to stretch three years for the overall money for five years but next year will become a challenge and these types of other resources that we can help influence to could bring revenue back to the toughest for our students they were obligated to take interest in and take part in you navigate for because not only students are walking through to get to school and so and then also their siblings are walking to the neighboring schools or you know the the wellington in the burbank in the high school really close to each other and so this really in the in the  coach that works so i think it's going to be a combination of things that these that have been quite frankly but that group has been doing a lot of good work and the time is that it is time with the with a consultant to support the work o times for the teachers at the preschool next year and we spent a lot of time discussing the results of the after care or after school care survey results and we talked around a few ideas a further data analysis that we'd like to do so we're going to follow up and discuss that also other next up to the meeting and the great news from that boat is really the majority of respondents survey were happy with their after school care so that was great it was and it will just look a little bit harder to do the analysis to make sure that all of our subgroups so people are also having their  concerns addressed but we talked a little bit about the school news i'm just old school and what kind of process needs to happen to come up with ideas for that all those things and right now we are we four things from towns i want to move on and that's
