Please refer here to learn more Study from car initiative: Many school districts in Maine are providing internet access from the parking lot. School districts have created guests networks that can be accessed from the parking lot. Please refer here to learn more If you are concerned about being able to make internet payments during this pandemic: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued guidance for providers limiting or eliminating service termination, late fees, and other access supports. Read full guidelines here. Network Issues at home? Here are some basic things to try: 1) Reboot your modem and router by unplugging them from power for 30 seconds. 2) Check to see how many devices are on your network. Streaming movies, music, games, and other content can use up your bandwidth fast. 3) How old are your modem and router? If your router is a few years old, it may not be keeping up the technologies your newer devices have access to or the demand of added devices. 4) You can check your speed and compare it to what the speeds you are paying for using a site like https://fast.com/. Keep in mind wireless speeds almost never reach full data speeds. If you are able to plug directly into your modem or router with an ethernet cable, this would be the best way to test the actual speeds you are receiving from your Internet service provider. 1-5 Mbps - Streaming audio (Spotify) or slow web browsing 5-10 Mbps - Normal web browsing, shopping, or social media 10-20Mbps - Streaming Video (Netflix, Youtube, etc) 25-50Mbps - 4K Video streaming or online gaming 50+ Mbps - Large file downloads (all speeds are per person using the network) Example: 3 people streaming 4K Netflix would need a minimum 75Mbps connection. 5) Make sure devices are within proximity of their wireless router or Verizon hotspot and have a good signal. Moving between floors, lots of walls, or poor position can reduce wireless speeds and signal strength.

Agenda March 24, 2020

March 23, 2020 Dear Parents and Guardians of students with Special Education Services, First and foremost I hope that you and your families remain healthy. I suspect that you are feeling the stress of this difficult situation. The commissioner of education sent out a video message where she reminded everyone to BREATHE. I will repeat that message. Take care of yourselves first so that you can take care of your families. And please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you need something that we are not providing. The purpose of this letter is to assure you that we will do all we can to continue to provide your child with the special education services they need to make progress toward meeting their IEP goals. I realize that I am stating the obvious when I say that this will look very different than what was planned during your child’s IEP meeting. Below is a list of some of the issues I have been focusing on and a brief statement of how it is being addressed: Specialized Instruction: we will follow the same virtual learning model as the regular education instruction as much as is possible. Some of the unique learning needs may not be able to be met through this method so packets of materials, phone calls, and video conferencing with teacher & parents may be utilized. Related Services: Our occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapist and social workers have set up Google classrooms of their own and are also collaborating with teachers on their Google classrooms. These providers have also been in touch with many parents to assist them in working with their child in the home setting. Modifications and accommodations: All modifications and accommodations will be in place for your child. If you are finding there is something else they need to be successful, please let their case manager know. Behavioral Assistance: Our BCBAs will continue to be involved in behavioral programming for our students. We suspect there may be some additional behavioral concerns for families, we will assist in any way we can. Reach out if you need our support. IEP meetings: We will hold as many meetings as we can virtually. If you are not comfortable having the meeting virtually, we will reschedule when school is back in session. Each student will be “invited” to the meeting through Google Calendar. Parents can go to this invitation and join the meeting. If you need assistance figuring this out, we will provide that assistance. Annual Reviews: We hope to hold as many annual reviews as possible. Three Year Reevaluations: If we have sufficient information to make an eligibility determination we will hold the meeting. If we don’t have the information we need, we will wait until we return to complete assessments and then have the meeting. New Referrals: If assessments have been completed we will hold the meeting. If assessments are not completed we will reschedule. If a referral came into the office after March 12th, it will be addressed when we return to school. 20 day reviews will be held. Due to limited access to the office, It is likely that paperwork will not be mailed in as timely a manner as usual. If you would like paperwork emailed to you, please email michelle.tache@msad60.org and she will email you the requested documents. Please know that we are doing all that we can to continue to provide services during this difficult time. We recognize that this will look very different than planned and will likely change as we learn more about virtual learning and how it impacts our students. Once we are able to return to school, we will look at the impact the closure had on each of our students and determine what is necessary for each student. By now, you should have heard from your child’s special education teacher (case manager) either by phone, email or video conference. If you have not, please get in touch with me so that I can follow up and make sure that you are contacted. If you have any questions or need anything please do not hesitate to contact me by email (susan.macri@msad60.org). Susan Macri Director of Special Education

Kindergarten Screening at North Berwick Elementary School, Hussey School and Hanson School will be postponed until further notice. Parents can still register their child online at here.

During this time of school closure, MSAD #60 is offering free breakfast and lunch to all students.

March 18, 2020 Dear NOBLE community, As the COVID-19 picture changes daily, we are also working daily to keep you informed as soon as practical. These changes are undoubtedly causing substantial interruptions to many aspects of our daily lives. This can be especially stressful for our students and community members who are facing disruptions to their normal routines. MSAD 60 will do whatever we can within our means to minimize these issues. The following text is excerpted from Education Commissioner Makin’s recent superintendent communication. As you know, Governor Mills provided a recommendation that Maine schools cease classroom-based instruction as soon as practicable and for the duration of our state of civil emergency (which is for 30 days, but could be re-established for as many times as the situation warrants). Based on this requirement, school closures will be extended through Sunday, April 26, 2020. We will communicate further information as to whether this time will be extended as needed. We will continue to provide updates for families regarding meals for any student 18 years of age or younger, remote learning, free fun opportunities for families (national zoo virtual tour, a district fitness challenge, Discovery Channel), and supports. Any operational procedures will be emailed by individual building Principals and Directors. Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding during this very trying time. It is comforting to know and see how our communities rally together to overcome difficult times. We have no doubt that we will overcome this situation with care, patience and support for one another. Things will be different for a while, but we will get through this together! Be well, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools (a.k.a. The Cat in the Hat)

Hello, Food services will be providing FREE breakfast and lunch to ANY student under the age of 18. We will have 3 pick-up sites where bagged meals containing breakfast and lunch will be available from 11 am-12 pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Students will be eligible to take two days worth of meals at time of pick up (except on Friday). Students must be present in the car at time of pick up. Families will be asked to remain in the car at time of pick up and the meals will be handed off to you. The sites available for pick up include Noble High School, Noble Middle School, and Hanson Elementary School. Those who participate in the backpack program will be able to pick up their backpacks at any of our locations on Fridays. Should your family not have access to reliable transportation to get you to a meal site, please fill out this survey and we can coordinate with the transportation department to have a meal delivered: https://forms.gle/8ZkZ4dYBdErq7MGX8 You may also contact the food services department via email or phone call as well. Contact info: abbey.pelletier@msad60.org or jennifer.allain@msad60.org 207-676-2234 x 5 Meal Site Locations Noble High School 100 Noble Way North Berwick, ME Pick up will occur in the horseshoe located at the front of the school Noble Middle School 46 Cranberry Meadow Road Berwick, ME Pick up will occur on the side of the building where student drop off occurs Hanson Elementary 53 Upper Guinea Road Lebanon, ME Pick up will occur at the front of the school in the horseshoe We would also like to remind families that they are able to submit meal applications at any point during the school year.

March 16, 2020 Dear NOBLE Community, We are working to ensure school communication with families will be helpful during the shutdown. Examples of communication that will be coming out soon: Technology resources and tips, Sample student “school schedules,” Meal programs and learning packets (parking lot pick up, or other options), Opportunities for a family member to schedule a time to come in to collect items from schools that may be needed at home, Updates on cancellations /postponements, and Staff Youtube book readings and saying hello to students to keep the personal connection going. Schools and departments will be sending out specific information applicable to your child(ren) and will be available via phone or email. (“Office hours” will be posted.) Please be looking for their communications. Administrators, teachers, and educational technicians have been working on remote learning plans over the past few days /weeks. Most of the work is ready for dissemination. All systems should be up and running by Thursday morning. In the meantime, I offer the following suggestions: Forty minutes reading per day (shared reads with mom or dad are great fun). Checking out some of the built in apps on the iPads that our youngest students have brought home. Try Lexia. What a great resource! One hour of physical activity per day (outdoors when possible). Searching for links to free resources that are opening up during the COVID-19 outbreak (Discovery Education Experience [coming soon], ORIGO Education math videos and fluency builders, and nytimes.com that has, What’s going on in this picture? Film Club Documentaries and daily writing prompts. We are in uncharted territory. We are working hard to do the best for each family, student, and employee that we possibly can. Once again, We thank you for your support and patience. Personally, I want to thank the many citizens and staff who have sent communications expressing positive support for our efforts. Your kind words are appreciated. Regards, Steve Connolly

March 15, 2020 Dear Noble Community, After careful consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic that has now reached Maine, I am notifying all families that MSAD 60 schools will be closed for a two-week period, March 16 through 27. All school activities are suspended. Additionally, all outside facility uses will be suspended during this time. While we have no presumed or confirmed cases in our district or close proximity (false Facebook rumor), MSAD 60 will be doing our part to disrupt the potential exponential growth of COVID-19 cases in Southern Maine. I know this decision creates significant hardship for some families, but the alternative would likely be far worse. All employees will report to their schools/departments at 8:00 AM on Monday, March 16, as previously planned. Staff will work that day to complete long-term preparation for remote and off-site learning as well as to continue cleaning of facilities and transportation. The district's Central Office along with each school's Principal's offices will post hours of operation and will operate with essential staff but will be closed to the public unless otherwise notified. Beginning Wednesday, March 18, we intend to ensure that students will stay on track toward graduation, and younger students will continue to receive most services and as seamless as possible learning; however, we need your support to make that happen. Please work with your child(ren) to set “schoolwork” hours and work expectations. Individual building principals will be sharing each school’s plan for remote/online learning with students and families. Also on March 18, we plan on food delivery to anyone who qualifies for free or reduced meals (almost 900 students). We will coordinate delivery with the Transportation Department - a “knock and drop” that will be announced via School Messenger. If you are not receiving School Messenger communications, please contact your child’s school. There are many pieces to this incredible dilemma that still need to be considered. Please bear with us as we work toward making the best decisions in a most difficult situation. It is possible that this closure will extend beyond the current projected timeline. It is important that all families practice and enforce strict social distancing during this time. If we want to prevent the need to keep our schools closed for a more prolonged period of time, it will be incumbent upon us all to make the sacrifices required to contain the spread of the Coronavirus. School leaders will continue to share updated information regularly, so please watch for these. Additionally, both the national CDC site and the state of Maine CDC have a wealth of information to assist families in staying up to date and continuing to learn more about the virus. One article that might be helpful more immediately on social distancing is LINKED HERE. Please be safe. We will continue to communicate regularly with our families during this closure. Thank you in advance for your support. Regards, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools

March 13, 2020 Dear MSAD 60 Families, We have been in regular contact with the CDC and other health representatives regarding COVID-19. As you may be aware, Governor Mills has requested suspension of gatherings of 250 or more. During the press conference Governor Mills told us that this case of COVID-19 does not necessitate the closure of Maine schools at this time; however, local condition is a factor each district will need to consider. Today was less than an easy day in our schools. While student attendance throughout the district ranged from 86 to 90%, there were 66 absent staff members across most departments - teachers, food service, custodial, drivers - for various reasons. March usually ranks as the highest absentee month each year (typical colds, strep, and flus), but we are experiencing an unusual spike in adult absenteeism right now. Those adults may be sick themselves with the typical winter illnesses, but additionally, some staff have compromised immune systems. Others may have college-age students who have been sent home from those institutions. Many of those returning college students who attend out of state schools are coming home with directives to self quarantine. This has caused several staff members additional home issues with which they must grapple. Due to several factors, I have decided that Monday, March 16 will be a “Teacher Workshop Day”. Teachers and educational technicians will report to schools /departments to complete their plans for distance learning in the event of any extended school closure. This is not an overreaction, this an opportunity to be fully prepared. Other staffs will report to their departments to begin a more indepth cleaning protocol. As soon as we have any different information that affects MSAD 60’s operation we will send out a communication to you through the School Messenger system. If we close schools I will send you information about our plans and a timeline for closure. Your school principals will also provide information about learning details. Please continue to prevent the spread of illness. Wash your hands, cough into your sleeve, stay home if you are sick, consult with your health care provider and monitor information available through the CDC https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/. If you have questions about COVID-19, please call 211. If you have questions about your personal health, please call your healthcare professional. Thank you in advance for helping us follow through with our Strategic Plan Focus Area Four: Healthy and Safe Schools Support Success. We are all doing our part to keep students and staff healthy. If you have questions, I would ask that you contact your child’s principal by school phone or email. I will also be available at the Central Office. Below, please find suggested technology guidelines for K-5 students from Technology Director Chris Russo. Best regards, Steve Connolly Superintendent of Schools Dear MSAD 60 Parents of K-5 Students, In the event of a future extended school closure we will begin sending home your child's school-issued computer/iPad and the charger starting today. We realize that this is likely the first time your child will be responsible for transporting a computer to and from school each day. These are extraordinary circumstances. Here are some guidelines that will help you and your student with this new responsibility. iPads - Kindergarten & 1st Grade Students: 1. We will ask that the iPad goes back and forth to school with your child each day. 2. In order to protect the screen, please “sandwich” the student iPad between the additional books which are also being sent home. The cases which we use do not have screen protection, as this was not originally intended to be a take home device. 3. Charging cords - please keep the charging cord at home until further notice. 4. Charging - please charge the device overnight. The devices will hold enough charge to get students through the school day. 5. Please establish a location for your child to use the device at home. While in school, students use their desks as their workstation. At home, a table, counter space, etc. could be designated as the workstation. The purpose of designating a space is to limit damage to the device and to help your student “work from home” if needed. 6.There is a filtering system on the device. No filter is 100% effective, and students should only use the devices in a supervised, common area. In addition, the iPads do not have a web browser on them. By design, student use is limited to approved Apps only. Your child is already familiar with the apps he/she may access (i.e. Lexia, Epic, and Google apps). 7.If the device is damaged or you need technical support please email the Technology Help Desk at Techsupport@msad60.org Chromebooks - 2nd Grade through 5th Grade 1.We will ask that the Chromebook goes back and forth to school with your child each day. 2.We realize that the Chromebooks do not have cases. Please do your best to help your child protect the Chromebook while it is in transit. 3.Your child should carry the Chromebook in his/her backpack. 4.Charging cords- Please keep the charging cord at home until further notice. 5.Charging- Please charge the device overnight. The devices will hold enough charge to get students through the school day. 6.Please establish a location for your student to use the device at home. While in school, students use their desks as their workstation. At home, a table, counter space, etc. could be designated as the workstation. The purpose of designating a space is to limit damage to the device and to help your student “work from home” if needed. 7.There is a filtering application on the computer. It filters content based on category and is on at all times. No filter is 100% effective and students should only use the devices in a supervised, common area. 8.If the device is damaged or you need technical support please email the Technology Help Desk at Techsupport@msad60.org As a district, we have been sending devices home with students in grade 6-12 for many years. Inevitably, some devices may be damaged in the process of transporting them or using them at home. We will address damage through the tech HelpDesk on a case by case basis. Please notify us as soon as possible about any damage. We just ask that students use the devices for educational purposes only and treat them carefully. Families would only be charged for device repair/replacement in the event of willful damage or loss of the device. In advance, we thank you for your help and support during this situation. Sincerely, Chris Russo Director of Technology Techsupport@msad60.org

Hello, This coming Thursday, March 12th, we will have a Superintendent Candidate Night at the Hanson School in Lebanon beginning at 6:00 pm. The candidates will be sharing (one at a time!) a short overview regarding their experience and why they are interested in being Superintendent here in MSAD 60. After this initial overview, we will open up the floor to questions from the community. Each candidate will have a total of a half hour of time and there will be exit tickets available for folks to provide feedback to our school board hiring committee.  The approximate times of presentations will be as follows (I pulled the three candidates names out of a hat in this order! 6:00 Robert Kahler 6:40 Audra Beauvais 7:30 Scott Reuning Please join us for this unique opportunity to meet the candidates for our next Superintendent! Susan Austin Assistant Superintendent MSAD #60

March 9, 2020 Dear Parent/Guardian: We understand that the Novel Coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, is causing much anxiety in our community, country and the world. MSAD 60 is working to provide you with the most up to date information on this rapidly evolving situation. Following is a brief overview of the current situation. For more information and FAQ’s, we recommend you visit https://www.maine.gov/doe/covid-19 What is Known · The virus causing COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified and causes a respiratory illness ranging from a mild cold-like illness to severe pneumonia. · Most (81%) of people diagnosed with COVID-19 in China had mild disease, including most children. · Similar to influenza, the people who are most likely to have severe disease and complications from COVID-19 are older individuals (>60 years old) and those with other medical conditions like heart and lung disease or diabetes. · There is no vaccine or treatment currently available for COVID-19 but the National Institutes of Health is evaluating treatments and developing a vaccine already. · Currently, there is NO confirmed community spread of COVID-19 in Maine, meaning the virus is not being spread from person-to-person. However, experts predict there will eventually be community spread. Our schools are preparing for when/if this happens. How The Virus Spreads · COVID-19 is believed to spread primarily the same way the common cold or flu spreads—through respiratory droplets that are produced when someone coughs or sneezes. · People who are most at risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 are those who have been in close contact (within about 6 feet) with someone who has the disease. · People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest). · Some spread of the virus might be possible before a person has symptoms; there have been reports of this with COVID-19, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. What You Can Do Now · Keep children home when they are sick. o Students (and parents/guardians) who are ill, especially with acute respiratory symptoms (not allergies or chronic conditions), should stay home. · Teach your children to always cover their cough and sneezes with a tissue or elbow. · Remind them to wash their hands with soap and water (or use hand sanitizer) after they touch their face, use the restroom and before they eat. · Tell children to avoid touching their mouth and nose since that is how germs get into the body. · Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects (everyday household disinfectants are fine) o Enhance cleaning of high touch surfaces like door knobs, toilet handles, and sink handles. · Plan for when community spread occurs. o Ensure you have a plan to designate a caregiver, such as a family member or neighbor, for a sick child(ren) if you can’t stay home. o Know your child’s school plan to communicate with you when needed, such as robocalls, email or checking their website. Because most people with COVID-19 have mild disease, the likelihood that we will be closing schools is very low, but not zero. In the highly unlikely chance that a decision to close school due to a COVID-19 outbreak is made, it is important for parents/guardians to have a plan for who could take care of your child. We are receiving updates as The Maine Department of Education is working directly with Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor this evolving situation. We will continue to provide new information to the community as things change. Sincerely, Steve Connolly

VW Settlement Funds/State Bus Subsidy - Mr. Connolly shared the Maine DOT’s decision to replace one of the two buses that we submitted for consideration under the VW Settlement Funds application. Click here to review the letter from the State of Maine. Mr. Connolly notified the Board that the NBES PTO donated $329 to the Backpack program. Each month North Berwick Elementary chooses a word of the month. Empathy was December’s word. The PTO held a holiday family event that asked families to make monetary or food donations for the Backpack program as an entry fee to the event. The Board thanked North Berwick Elementary School and PTO. Ms. Schaeffer shared an update on the Superintendent Search. Interviews took place on February 26, 2020. Six candidates were interviewed by 20 people consisting of Board members, staff, community members and students. The 20 interviewers met prior to the interview date to finalize the questions to be asked during the interview. The next steps are: 1) Each of the three finalists will tour the schools in the district and participate in question and answer community event, 2) The Board will meet on March 19, 2020 to review questions they will ask during the final interviews, 3) Final interviews will be held the week of April 6, 2020, 4) The Board will vote to approve the final candidate on April 16, 2020. Mr. Connolly presented the building committee update. He and Mr. Moore met with CHA to review spacing, insuring square footage and population studies. The census data for Lebanon and North Berwick seemed reasonable. The census data for Berwick posed a problem indicating that the student population would only increase by seven between now and 2029, this seems unrealistic given the growth Berwick has seen to date. Ms. Mallett asked what information is being used to compile the data. Mr. Connolly answered that the census determination is based on live births, permits, economy and property being built. The other factors for Berwick are the 55+ community (only 1 member of the household has to be over 55) slated to go in across the street from Hussey School and the Prime Tanning renovation which includes apartments. The current plan for the district: 1) First floor wing at NBES connecting to current building, 2) Relocate district wide services from Hussey to NBES. The District does not want to be in the middle of a 20 year bond and have to increase the building again. The decision to put the referendum on the major construction in the district on September 15, 2020 was due to not being ready for the June vote and the November vote would be too late to book contractors. The District will be on the hook for $329,000 in fees if the bond does not pass, if it does pass the fees are rolled into the project cost. Mr. Connolly shared the results of the School Revolving Renovation Fund. There are 4 projects for a cost of $1.8 million of which the state will cover $1 million. Leaving a $730,000 bond that will go out for vote in June. Bill Stockmeyer, Drummond Woodsum attorney, will share sample language to assist in writing the bond for vote. Mr. Doiron inquired about the projects we received through RRF. Sprinklers will need to be installed. The asbestos abatement at NMS is planned for this summer. A grant was received to help complete Phase 3 at NMS. Updates to the music, cafe, chorus, locker administrative area and library at NMS are planned for summer 2021. All attempts will be made to reduce the cost to the towns for any projects that absolutely need to be done. Mr. Connolly presented the 2020-2021 Calendar for Board approval. Our calendar is six days out of sync with SRTC because of the election day on November 3, 2021. The district will seek an exemption for being over the five day maximum. The teacher association has reviewed the proposed calendar. Mr. Doiron commented that several parents have complained to him about the Thursday schedule. He inquired if there has been consideration for Teacher workshop days once per month. Mr. Connolly responded that the current State language for teachers accountability to scores and curriculum work warrant the weekly work. It also always teachers the opportunity to meet with colleagues weekly to make current updates to instruction and develop consistent plans district wide. In addition a once per month workshop day would impact the budget substantially due to an increase in teacher paid days to 185 per year instead of 181 and extend the student calendar. 2020-2021 School Calendar Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by and Ms. Corliss 2nd, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly shared MSAD 60’s Guidelines regarding ED 1684- Food Shaming Bill ED 1684- Food Shaming Bill MSAD 60 Guidelines Students who may owe a balance are eligible to receive the regular meal offered. Food Service does not have to provide a la carte items as those are not reimbursed unlike the regular meal. Mr. Doiron inquired how much debt is incurred for unpaid balances. Ms. Van Campen responded that $7,627 was transferred last year to cover the outstanding balance. Green Truck Farm has donated $2,500 to assist with outstanding balances. The District budgets $25,000 towards food service needs, i.e. equipment needing to be replaced and covering outstanding balances. Ms. Mallett asked if there is a mechanism in place to encourage families to apply for the Free and Reduced Lunch program. Mr. Connolly responded that efforts were made in the past to contact families, but this did not seem to increase the number of applications received. The food service department is currently seeing record a higher number of applications than in the past. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of the retirement of physical education teacher Rebecca Good after 36 years of dedicated service at Noble Middle School. We wish her the best. With much regret Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to accept Ms. Good’s retirement, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of physical education teacher David Sprague after 38 years of dedicated service at Noble Middle School. We wish him the best. With much regret Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Corliss to accept Mr. Sprague’s retirement, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval of the leave of absence for the remainder of the school year of teacher Kristine Rickard at Lebanon Elementary. Ms. Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to accept Ms. Rickard’s leave of absence, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly asked for Board approval to hire Sarah McGonigle to teach second grade at Hussey School. Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by and Ms. Corliss 2nd to approve Ms. McGonigle’s employment, Vote 7-0. Mr. Connolly shared NMS word of the week. Students talked to him about how they have a word each week they learn and are challenged to use. These seemingly small things make a big difference for student literacy. Ms. Deb Butler elaborated (recent NMS word of the week) that there is a contest for students to hear staff use the word during the week. Ms. Mallett shared an update from her recent Berwick Comprehensive Planning Committee Meeting. A regional economic development group has been hired to gather census data such as where are people working, tax revenue, what kind of jobs are available. This data will be used as the Prime Tanning development begins. The plan stands to offer a lot of retail space and some residential. There is concern with the disconnect of the data gathered and actual growth. In the fall a meeting will take place to discuss the future growth and development of the District towns. Ms. Mallett and Mr. Doiron commented on the Costa Rica trip and what a great experience it was for the students and the outstanding efforts by the teachers who organized and attended. Ms. Schaeffer made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to adjourn. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 9:54 pm. Respectfully Submitted, Steve Connolly Secretary of the Board

Ms. Denise Van Campen introduced Ms. Amy Chasse from RKO, Runyon Kersteen Ouellette, our accounting firm, who then shared with the board the audit that was conducted and a financial overview of the district. (insert the powerpoint here) She shared with the board the general process of what an audit looks for and noted that the district had no findings which means that all information presented to the board is accurate. There are some internal control comments that will be shared and modifications may be made going forward in a few areas in relation to activity accounts. Ms. Chasse then walked through the documents and took questions. Ms. Jen England shared with the board a presentation regarding the Multiple Pathways program at Noble High School that she directs. She gave a history of the program, described the students who thrive there as well as the wonderful staff who support the students. The board asked many questions regarding the programming and shared the positive feedback that they have received over the course of time regarding MP. The board then reviewed the second reading of Policies. ADC(r)-Use and Possession of Tobacco Products and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems. As well as the Procedure. The board discussed the policy and procedure. Ms Potter made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Beal to approve policy ADC(r). All members voted in favor and the motion passed.

The assistant superintendent will be connecting again with Ms. Dudley in the next week if they can make a connection and will share information at a future board meeting. Ms. Beal asked about the potential of Blizzard Bags for the District and/or state of Maine. At this point we are aware some districts have opted to pilot Blizzard Bags, but we have not heard any updates on that. The major holdup that we recall is the requirement that teachers be readily accessible for students if we are able to count those days. Ms. Beal also asked about the potential referendum vote focused on construction in September of this year and wanted to understand the reasoning why we were voting separate from the November national election. Ms. Beal shared that she was speaking on behalf of several citizens who brought this concern to her attention. Ms. Potter noted that she and Mr. Connolly had explained the reasoning behind this at a Lebanon Selectmen’s meeting. Mr. Connolly shared that the logic behind this is to be sure that the citizens have a clear understanding of the expenditures in regards to the elementary school renovations, etc. and have the ability to vote on it singly. Also, the timeline for summer scheduling of work requires an earlier start than a November referendum. Second Public input: Ms. Terry Wright shared with the board an update regarding top ten videos that were provided… in the top five was our Dec. 19th 2019 school board meeting. She shared some statistics regarding the data. Ms. Beal made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Neubert to adjourn. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 8:49 pm.
