Ms. Sewell shared her concerns as well regarding the time that the students are going to be spending away from their homes.   We will have the bus routes for the board to consider in the near future.  Public Input:  Ms. Whalen, of North Berwick, shared her own personal statement, regarding a certification letter requested by the The U.S. Department of Education to state commissioners and LEAs regarding their legal obligations under Title IX and other civil rights laws, including a request for certification of compliance.  She shared her beliefs about adhering to the current state Maine Human Rights Commission law.    Adjournment:  Ms. Janousek  made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler  to adjourn the meeting.

Superintendent Update:  March 6th Harriman Facilities Study Overview and initial draft budget presentation.    March 8th Budget Workshop at NHS 9 - 2  March 13th Budget workshop  March 20th Policy Committee meeting and regular board meeting (with more focus on the budget) Backpack Donation: The district has received an anonymous donation for $10,000 for the MSAD 60 Backpack Program.  So appreciated! Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Janousek to accept the donation of $10,000 with thanks.  All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Other:   The Superintendent wanted to clarify the process of board members visiting the schools.  She noted that in October as a board we discussed a process whereby a board member should reach out to the Assistant Superintendent to set up tours and/or individual visits to the school. And we asked that timing be taken into consideration.  Ms. Sewell noted that she did recall the conversation but didn’t feel it was a protocol because it had not been voted on by the board. Ms. Wheeler noted that she believed it had been voted on in previous years prior to the current board because there had been some issues with board members showing up at the schools with little notice. Mr. Tabor noted that he felt that school board members have a state mandated obligation to get into the schools and talk with staff and with community members. He read the statute aloud. The board also discussed that the current school board adopted visitor policy KI did have language that gave the approval of setting the protocols up to building administration with the approval of the Superintendent. There was much discussion and the question was tabled for further conversation.  Mr. Tabor and Ms. Sewell were set to go to the Knowlton School and to Noble Middle School the following day.  Mr. Tabor then had several questions for the superintendent:  Does the district currently (this year 24-25) have any biological males playing a female sport? No Does the district allow biological males to access women’s bathrooms, women’s locker room, or women’s showers? We follow district policy and the Maine Human Rights Act  Does the district have any curricula at any grade level in any school that teaches our students that there are more than two sexes/genders? The superintendent shared that she will review this information before she shares it, to be sure that she is answering with full clarity.  Are parents informed if students asked to be called something other than their given name? We do allow students to utilize nicknames in the school.  However, we do not allow them to “change their name” without parent knowledge as this requires legal documentation.  Ms. Basko asked that we consider sending policies ACAA, ACAA-R1 and ACAA-R2. ACAA-R2   back to the policy committee for revision in light of the changes in law.  This is actually already on the docket for the policy committee for March 20th.  Ms. Basko asked about how we will respond should the state lose the federal funding if we are out of compliance with the executive orders. We are waiting from guidance from the state and we will have to handle that as soon as we know what the impact might be.  Ms. Sewell shared her beliefs about our reading program and that we need a different approach. She feels that we are utilizing an outdated program. The Superintendent shared that we are currently in the midst of reviewing the reading data and we will share it with the board when the process is complete.  Ms. Janousek shared that NBES had their 100 days celebration where each class donated items for The Back Pack Program, One Love and the North Berwick Food Pantry.  3676 items were donated. An overwhelming success.  Public Input:  Holly Dupuis   of Berwick shared with the board her belief, as a parent, that the board should call the Central Office to set up their visits.  It provides reasonable checks and balances for a board member to go into a school and ask questions. It gives a reasonable head’s up for admin and staff to organize the visit.  She also noted the positive happy vibe that is happening at the Middle School this year. In a very short period of time, wonderful things are happening and turning  NMS school around and she wanted that to be noted. She shared her positive response to the statistics that Mr. Archambault shared about the upward trends.    Ms. Herlihy of Berwick shared with the board, as a citizen, she wanted to speak directly to the families of our LGBTQ plus students and specifically trans students. She noted that while watching the news they may be feeling frightened and that their very existence is being vilified and their experiences dismissed. Please understand that this school district is better every single day that you are in it. This world is a better place for having you in it. She notes she will stand by our students and their families with love, empathy and compassion, as she would her own children. Continue being brave… to be yourself in a world that is constantly telling you to be someone else.  Ms. Janousek made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Herlihy to go into Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(D)  Labor Contract Negotiations- Teacher. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. In at 9:51 pm.

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICT NO. 60 BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ Meeting March 13, 2025 Noble High School Paul Johnson Library North Berwick, Maine 03906 Workshop 7pm Executive Session 8:30pm AGENDA Call to Order Pledge of Allegiance      Board Budget Workshop Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(D)  Labor Contract Negotiations- Teacher Adjournment

March 7, 2025 Dear Families of MSAD #60, I hope this message finds you well. The budget season is underway and as we navigate the complexities of this year’s budget process, I want to provide you with an update on the financial landscape and the steps we are proposing to ensure a sustainable future. Before delving into that update I first wanted to highlight a recently completed facilities study conducted by Harriman and Associates. The study not only looked at all of the physical aspects of the buildings but also supplied the district with a ten year enrollment study which corroborates what we have been experiencing- an overall decrease in student enrollment. The study helped the district gain a more thorough understanding of the facilities, including the strengths and areas of concerns, as we look ahead to planning for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.  We are facing unprecedented budgetary challenges that require us to take a significant and strategic approach to balancing financial responsibility to taxpayers while maintaining the high-quality education our students deserve. As we have assessed updated information across all areas of district operations, it has become evident that structural changes are necessary to address both fiscal constraints and some space concerns within our schools. To that end, we are proposing a district-wide grade-level reconfiguration that will allow us to maximize our resources efficiently. The proposed changes include: Hussey, Hanson, and North Berwick Schools  will be for students attending Kindergarten through third grade (all towns will have Pre-Kindergarten). All district fourth-grade students  will attend Knowlton School. All district fifth and sixth-grade students  will attend Noble Middle School. All seventh-grade students  will attend Noble High School. We recognize that these proposed changes may come as a surprise. We fully understand that reconfiguring grade levels is a significant shift that will impact students, families, and staff members. However, we believe this approach allows us to consolidate educators and resources in a way that ensures we continue providing high-quality programming for students while addressing our fiscal constraints. Attached, you will find a presentation detailing our financial challenges, some specific information regarding reductions associated with the reconfiguration, and answers to some initial questions you may have. We encourage you to review this information and remain engaged as we navigate this process together.   The district is committed to ensuring timely and transparent communication throughout this entire process. To keep everyone informed, we will provide regular updates through information sessions, increased district-wide emails, and frequent postings on the district webpage.  Sincerely,  Audra Beauvais, Superintendent MSAD 60 Budget Presentation 3.6.25

There was a presentation to the legislators and all who attended regarding the current issues in our county in meeting the needs of our homeless populations. There was emphasis placed on the need to support the local shelters that are exceedingly utilized by a wide range of people in need. Representatives from Caring Unlimited, The York County Shelter in Alfred, York County Community Action and Fair Tide were there to share their experiences as well as The Superintendent of the Sanford Schools to discuss the impact of homelessness on the schools. Following that discussion, the group moved to a school based discussion that was facilitated by the York County Superintendents Association. Concerns regarding the many mandates that have come out of the legislature were discussed as well as unfunded mandates.  Board Goals Discussion: The Superintendent shared with the board our overall draft goals (See these here).  She also shared copies of a few area district goals as a comparison. Ms. Herlihy noted that the goals from York that contained action steps, timeline and evidence were visually appealing and she’d like to have that with ours as well.  Mr. Tabor had a presentation  regarding goals that he also would like to share.  Prior to the presentation, the board then had a lengthy discussion regarding information that had been shared on social media and following Board Norms as there were some concerns regarding the accuracy of the information/misperceptions regarding the board not having worked on goals for the past several years. As well, as posting these goals on social media before sharing with the board in general first.  The Norm that was noted was “We stand together with our decisions.”  Mr. Josh Tabor shared with the board an overview of his suggestions for goals (see attached). There was discussion about rigorous curriculum, assessments that are criterion referenced and not norm referenced as most of our assessments are a mix of those. (For instance, the state assessment is through the NWEA system and has both criterion referenced as well as norm referenced items). Mr. Tabor and Ms. Sewell felt that solely criterion referenced should be the course. After further discussion regarding goals, Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Herlihy to  adopt the strategic goal plans that the board has been  working on with potential formatting that allows for including evidence.  All members voted in favor except Mr. Tabor, Ms. Basko and Ms. Sewell who opposed and the motion passed.  Nomination of Food Service Director - Chef David Vargas The Superintendent shared the nomination of Chef  David Vargas as School Nutrition Director.  Mr. Tabor made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler to approve the nomination of Mr. David Vargas as MSAD 60 School Nutrition Director.

Ms. Lori Coleman, guidance counselor as well in Lebanon, nominated Mr. Hubbard.  A well deserved honor! . Brenda Cravens is formally leaving the district tomorrow as a retiree after 42 years. We thank her wholeheartedly for her service!  December 5th Principals will come in to do a quick overview of their safety procedures.   Other: Celebration!  Noble’s basketball team is rated as Number one going into the start of the season. Our Noble Football team did an outstanding job in their playoff game. They fell to the Thornton Academy team but had a fabulous season.  Update from the PTOs regarding their cereal drive.  Knowlton School is doing an ornament drive with sponsoring a child for clothing in our district. Suggestion setting up a subcommittee on assessment throughout the year.  How do the NWEA individual tests go out to parents? Within report cards at the elementary level. Others were already mailed at the upper levels.  Our website needs to be more up to date.  That is definitely a constant work in progress.  Ms. Wheeler noted that North Berwick Elementary School had a lovely Veteran’s Day celebration.  Ms. Sewell asked about our prior board goals. Those will be provided.  Public Input: Dr. Joe Forte, North Berwick, noted that the board spent a lot of time last year on the budget rather than goals. He shared his concerns regarding the impact of one size fits all statements. For instance, a one size fits all statement about behavior is not reasonable. He encouraged less anecdotal and hearsay.  Let’s give them more support and staff, Universal Pre K, etc. He asked  How can we improve trends when you undercut the costs… Why aren’t you supporting educators more and students more?  Note: Mr. Tabor did feel that the statements by Dr. Forte were targeting him personally and asked that the chair ask him to stop.  She did note that the attorney had shared that as an elected official, short of very offensive and or abusive language she was not able to stop the public input prior to the three minute cutoff.  Adjournment:  Ms. Janoussek  made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler  to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Adjourned at 8:43 pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais
