2:04 – 12:16•Speaker 2

Okay, Vice-Chair, Cornell, School Committee members, everyone has a good evening. My name is Tommy Welsh. I am the new superintendent of Salem Public Schools. This is my first school committee meeting with you. I feel that I will be the only new superintendent in the school committee who will be celebrating my first visit through a fire drill. So, we will conduct a fire drill, and this will serve as our official fire safety duty for those online. We would like to inform you that this report will be very short. Next time when I see you, I will give you a more detailed entry plan report. But I would like to say that Selathai was as good as I expected in my first month. There are a lot of people who welcomed and helped me. To ensure my success, they were very kind and open-hearted. I am trying to believe that this month will end soon. But I was able to see each and every one of you in person. I thank you for your time. I was able to see all the principals and visit all the schools. Zed will describe the construction of the school in the report. When we talk about the preparations for the school opening, he will explain it. On the back to school night in Collins, the last week's band camp was able to see the community through its operational and non-operational aspects. I was able to enjoy everything that Salam gave me. That's why I am very happy to be here. I can thank you many times, but today I would like to thank Jamil, Meg, Veronica, Bethan, Mary, Kate, Elizabeth. I would like to especially thank all the members of the school committee. I am grateful for the trust you have shown in this new phase of my leadership. Before I share some important details, I would like to make a few announcements. So, let's get started. Yes, there is a big announcement. The school is starting next week, right? I think you will have all these dates in your calendar. Let me remind you that Sarah Parker Ramond School will be opening for the first time on September 2nd. I have seen many survivors. The rest of the 9th graders from Salem High School will be there. So, the 9th graders from Salem High School and Sarah Parker Ramond Campus will be opening on Wednesday, September 2nd. The rest of the schools that are located near ECC or the Early Childhood Center will be opening on the same day. According to my schedule for those two days, I will take part in the morning welcomes to Colins Middle School and Bentley School. If you are the parents of your children, you can see me in front of the school. Don't hesitate to come and talk to me and get to know me. Many have done this so far. The next thing to be noted is that the smallest children will be coming to school on the next week. So we will be ready for them. The second thing I would like to say right now is that I know this is a big issue. Especially, I have sent some of our rescuers and our bus schedules to the rescuers today. Therefore, it is very difficult for Riavo and Elisabeth, who are our Gathakadha team members, to explain the details of our rescuers, and if there are any problems, it is very difficult to solve them in advance. Our new bus company, Healy Bus Company, was run by Elizabeth and Riavo along with me. They are going to operate 12 of our big buses. That is, it was at the beginning of this week, wasn't it? I think so. Okay, good. Time now feels very strange to me. But it was a great show. Bus monitors, drivers, dispatch team, management, etc. had arrived at Coase Middle School to see our team. I wanted to make it clear what the expectations were. I told them that starting the school year properly is one of the most important things for me. It will be about this that the students are going to talk. So this is a new partnership. I want to work with them. I felt that things had been done very properly in the beginning itself. So we will be in constant contact with them. Then we will hold a meeting with the bus company N.R.T. Umay on the next Thursday. We will be able to see the entire team of Pindunna directly. I am very happy to be able to share with them how important it is for me to see them in person and how important the beginning of the school year is to me. Now I would like to move on to some important things. Some of you may have heard of this. I am a person who believes that a picture is equal to a thousand words. So you may remember some of those pictures. This is from our fifth guest, Bakht School Fairy, which took place last Wednesday at Collins Middle School. Everyone was telling me how great it was. Many did not know how hard it was for Sarah Park to move it from the UMC site due to minor construction problems. We wanted to make sure that our families and children were safe. So, thanks to Laura Sadek and their entire team, everything was ready here. But we changed all the planning and bus schedules to Ashiya Vinamayam. Chris and his team, or his single team, helped Ashiya Vinamayam. Then about 50 people came and helped our families. As many families reached there, things that were in need of many of our friends were over. I would like to say that there were hundreds of people there. I'm not sure, but I think there were a lot of people there. I know that we had to distribute more than 850 backpacks. More than 300 backpacks were distributed. I heard that more than 1000 hot dogs were distributed. Hot dogs and hamburgers are not exactly the same. But the number of backpacks is good. Okay, so 850 backpacks. That's a good thing. Everyone told me that this was the most successful event so far. The next day people said, let's keep it here for the next year. So this was the most successful and my favorite back to school event in Selam. I am here with everyone who participated. You can see some pictures there. I think I mentioned it in my response report. I am not a person who is very interested in social media. But this was my first Instagram post. So, that's it. It was a great experience. So, thank you. Special thanks to Laura and the team. I appreciate it. Let's move on to the next slide. The next thing to mention is the Salem High School Band's camp announcement and activities. Band camp was a big deal. I participated in that with Kate and Elizabeth. Many of you were there. But I was surprised to learn that so many students, students of the past, school-related people, and teachers from Salem Public Schools were there to help. It was like a big celebration, wasn't it? It was awesome. They had games. The kids were there. They were very happy to share their new appearance, Diamonds in the Sky, with us. It wasn't complete. They told us the exact percentage. For example, it was 57% complete. But I felt it was almost complete. Thanks to Salem High School Marching Band Boosters Club. Not only did I donate money to help the organization, but I also had a good meal after the organization. I was able to eat burgers for two days in a row. So it was very good. Everyone had a smile on their face. In total, our 55 students participated in the Band Camp program for two weeks. After this, the association had many opportunities to train. They had marched at the Heritage Parade Fair. They also took part in some other events. So, I think they are doing well now. Seeing the kids and spending time with them was very happy. Finally, one of the important things today is the training for our new teachers. When I went to a room today, there were more than 40 new teachers there. They are new to the school. I saw many professors there. This was their first job. They had just graduated from college. They were very excited. They were just like how I was 20 years ago. Along with that, there were professors who were familiar with the charter programs for a year. They were also very excited. I saw a few people who had changed careers. There were two people who had left Salem and returned. When I heard that, I felt very happy. But there is one person who needs to be mentioned, and that is Myra Avila. Last week, when I walked through the Early Childhood Centre, I saw them. They had changed some things. They were busy with some work. When I brought a box, they said, I'll take it. This year, they have moved from the administrative assistant position to a kindergarten teacher. They shared their experiences with me very eagerly. So, I am waiting to see them in the classroom. I learned that one of our family engagement facilitators is taking on the role of their administrative assistant. They also shared with me that they want to become a teacher. So, this is like a beautiful small home ground pipeline. Look at them celebrating with excitement. But it is an amazing experience to see what we are talking about in reality. So, these are my three highlights for this week or this first school committee. Um, I would like to go back to our school for an update. I can do that. Oh, yes. Yes, please forgive me. I am Steve.

12:17•Speaker 3

Do you have any questions for the committee members? Oh, I am sorry.

12:20•Speaker 2

Yes, do you have any questions? Yes, I have. Oh, yes, here.

12:22•Speaker 4

Let me see if I can answer.

12:24•Speaker 2

Okay. Um, I think this question is for Elizabeth.

12:26 – 13:14•Speaker 4

Because we were talking about buses. And I am wondering if we will be able to ensure that we are getting the services we are expecting. Because I know that we have to make sure that we are getting the services we are expecting in the future. So, so, do you want a certificate? I believe that's what I want. Yes, because I think there are more things in it than our final certificate. Because I know that some things had to be added later. Okay. Thank you. Did I have anything else? Oh, I would like to thank Lora Assad for the wonderful arrangement. Yes, yes, for others too.

13:14•Speaker 2

No other questions?

13:16•Speaker 4

Um, Angam Hofman.

13:17•Speaker 2

AJ, bus company, excuse me. Is the bus company conducting a route inspection before school starts?

13:23 – 14:18•Speaker 4

Yes, yes. And so there is a slide about the return to school update. But if you are surprised, I will tell you. All drivers have run test runs. Not last week, but the week before that, for our in-district regular ed education and in-district special education education. Some of those test runs were done by regular drivers, because our aim was to test the route two weeks ago. But on August 26, all drivers driving on the routes will complete their test runs. Therefore, regular education drivers and NRED drivers who run in-district special ed will complete the route by the end of this week. Is there anything else you would like to ask? Okay, thank you. You may continue.

14:18 – 19:51•Speaker 2

Okay, with this, I will end my superintendent report. We are now moving on to the details of the second topic in our agenda, the opening of the school in 2026. I will introduce this to you. You will hear this from different parts of our executive team. It seems like everyone is here, right? As well as, other important aspects and details of the next week's preparations for the big start will be shared in the Central Office. I know that I have only been here for a month, but I have understood one thing clearly. This is a very hardworking team. Everyone is ready to take me to their office and show me their schools. Only then can I understand what they are doing better than what is in the paper. That's why I've done a lot of things. You will talk to C later. I don't even know how much his team is struggling and where they are right now. That's why I have high hopes for this year. That's why I will allow C. I don't want to take away his opportunity. However, we, as an executive team, are going to continue to focus on the management of the service. Our teachers, school workers, and principals need to know what they need, and we ensure that their time is spent on our students, who are most important to our system. So, there is a lot of information to share. I have spoken to them in person. I have told them that it will take about two minutes. Let's see how it goes. But before Kate left, I have something to tell you. Last week, I spent a lot of time with my executive team. You can see many of them behind me. They are all there, actually. Because they are both here with me. On Friday, we spent more than 5 hours together. It was our first official executive team retreat. Kate, Elizabeth and I had a plan. We had a lot of things planned for the year. After two days, we had a regular executive team meeting. So it was like a double work. This week, we worked together for seven or eight hours. While discussing about new strategies, we focused on where we came from, where we stand now, where we should go, and how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. We focused on how we can improve the relationships in the team. If we want to surprise this team, we need to think about how we can be effective and productive. What you see there is a photo we took in our retreat. We can only see the back of our heads in it. But because Chris is taking a photo, I don't think he can be seen. The characters next to him will be familiar to those in this room. Doctor These are the four pillars that were under Steve Wright and his team in the old-fashioned way. In this, we can see Elevate Educators. We call it Elevate. It is a bit difficult for me to read the word Embower. Yes, I knew it. Embower. Then, Center Belonging and how we operate as a district. When you submit this form, you will be able to hear the official statement of my Entry Plan in the next school committee. You will be able to submit detailed information about the next school committee within the next three years with the next school committee on September 22. In addition, within the next two weeks, I have sent an email to our team about more useful activities to go to schools to see the survivors. Therefore, instead of creating more meetings, I intend to take part in the meetings of the principal during the nights when the school is open and allow people to come to me and help you. In addition, it will allow me to hear from the people about what is going well in our district, what is to be done, and what is to be improved. Thus, I can clearly understand how this year's agenda that we are about to launch will work. It should not only be in one direction, but also in our schools, classrooms, and in the lives of our students. So, that will be my biggest goal. That's all I have to say today. Then, the 100-day report that will be published. I think it will be at the last meeting of this year, which will take place on December 18th. I can tell you exactly where we have to start by taking into account all the things we have learned over the past few months and implementing this method. I can tell you exactly where we have to start by taking into account all the things we have learned over the past few months and implementing this method.

I can tell you exactly where we have to start by taking into account all the things we have learned over the past few months and implementing this method. I am happy to have the opportunity to introduce Kate Carbone to the microphone. She will explain our activities during the venal period. Thank you, Kate.

19:52 – 25:27•Speaker 4

Yes, thank you. Good evening, everyone. I would like to give a few updates on some of the professional learning activities we conducted during the venal period. Most of the people think that the teachers are at a disadvantage throughout the school year. They get time to concentrate on things that they cannot do during the school year. But some of our teams were able to cooperate with the support and professionalism of the teachers during the school year. So, this is what I had to know. As soon as it happened, I thought I had shared some things with the school committee. Our Summer Leadership Institute took place on June 25th and 26th, that is, on Sunday and Friday, when the school year ended. This is a very special time for us. All our leadership team, i.e., all the principals, assistant principals, team chairmen, and all our instructional coaches are with us because we count them as leaders in this district. Also, all the heads of the departments are united in one room. So, we are looking forward to reviewing the two-day plan. So, two days ago, we shared some thoughts about the last year. We focused our attention on celebrating the achievements and goals we achieved during that year. But we focused our attention on the unfulfilled tasks. We have to maintain that basic nature. Even if we have done good things together, even if we have been able to achieve many of our goals this year, there are some things that we have to do in the coming year. So we focused our attention on that. Certainly, we conducted a lot of fun and team building activities as usual. There is a picture, you may not be able to see it clearly, but you can see it on the online screen. One of our plans was to run a relay race for the pit crew. So you can see those statues and other things. I don't know why Leanne Smith didn't wear shoes. We'll find out later. I am happy to know that no one has failed. We ran a relay race. This is the winning team. They were given small trophies. They were all smiling. We did a lot of great things while learning such good things. I think Sonia will talk more about what's inside through her update. Then, as you know, Sarah Parker Remond School started operating on July 1. Therefore, before the opening of the leadership team school led by Principal Beth Allison and Associate Principal Lauren Weaver, they thought it was important to bring the team together. Thus, they planned a multi-day retreat in August. They spent a whole day in Salem State. They wanted to do some activities for the team building. They thought there was some kind of rope course. But it was a lot of work. That's why they couldn't do it. But the teachers and staff at Salem State were with them. They were able to do a lot of things for the team building. That was very important. It was a very important day for them to unite as a team building. They ended it with a pistol engine. The next two days they were in school. There they conducted some formal invitations about the opening day playbook. They are teachers who know the ways of schools and they are now uniting with everyone. From the first day onwards, the teachers were aware of how important it was for the children to be able to walk around the school on a regular basis, because we know how important the first day is. So they worked hard on it. Finally, there was a lot of opportunity to run mini-clinics on topics that the teams were interested in. For example, the teachers took classes on how to do a restorative circle and how to do it. This was a good experience. The study and the interesting things were all at the same time. In addition, two dual language schools conducted retreats. The Bentley retreat was about teaching them how to study because they are entering the 6th year. As the 5th grade class is completed, they will completely turn into a dual language school. That is very exciting. She focused her attention on establishing language-based relationships and respecting children's knowledge. I spoke to her politely. She was a very happy woman. She also had a good experience with the students. The Collins dual language team also joined as a retreat. Their style was a little more practical. This is the first year of their activity. They are now starting the dual language program. Therefore, the attention was on the basic things from the beginning, such as time management, studying, and understanding the singing style. The two teams also did things that were appropriate for their growth as dual language teachers. There was also a lot of positive energy and encouragement there. Let me move on to the next question.

25:29 – 31:31•Speaker 3

Sonia, greetings to everyone. I am happy to know what the academic department has done during this pandemic. We were very busy. As Kate pointed out, we ran the summer leadership institute for two days when the school was closed. So people were tired, but very excited. I think that relay helped a lot. However, we are very excited to announce our academic vision this year. It is based on the three principles of awareness, discipline, and resistance. We believe that if these classes are held every day in one class, the children will learn a lot. Therefore, Ullukkollal is based on inclusive methods. I feel that you understand what Prasati does in the class, and this increases the international awareness. Then, the idea of ​​exercising and responding. Use a lot of opportunities to reach the goal of the lesson and respond often. Another thing that we have announced at the Summer Leadership Institute is an idea about Dayanand's academic circle. This is about how to make the subject practical for the students. Therefore, it must be ensured that what they do before preparing the lesson is appropriate for the students of that day. Then, what do they do when they study? Which data do they test? What is the most sustainable activity they participate in? How do they respond to it? After continuing to study, how do they evaluate that activity? What do they get from it? Then, what are they going to do about it tomorrow? So, we are eager to make it happen this year. We started it at the Summer Leadership Institute. But this was done with the help of various partners. People are ready. They are eager to do this work. Another thing that we have been trying to do for a long time last year is this K-5 Rating Toolkit. We know that Rating is a big focus for our districts. We have helped many to develop this toolkit. It was carried out by the principals of this district to implement it. They are the ones who manage the changes in their schools' teaching methods. We wanted to make sure that they have a strong foundation in what this is. You may have heard about the academic team's $800,000 loan through PRISM. So we are very excited. We are proud to be the primary witness of the PRISM grant. In addition, we have donated $200,000 to the ELA-ELA school in Middle School. So we are very excited about this. We are happy to receive this in the spring. This is an exciting thing. So this is what we are doing. Okay, let's talk a little about special education. Let's talk about what we did during this pandemic. One of the important things we did during this pandemic was to create a multi-module program for the refugees who want to become para-professionals in our community. Last week, our first class took place. We had 10 participants. This week, more people are coming. We spent a lot of time rethinking how our skill classes should be in order to strengthen our academic facilities in the secondary level and to demonstrate our executive activities. We also worked to test our teaching methods for students with developmental disabilities. It has been updated according to the new standards. We developed a flexible partner classroom for students who spend more time on general education than on sub-separate programs. Finally, we spent a lot of time on a new IEP, IEP platform for data migration. We are doing this in a modern way, so that the students can access their IEPs more easily and know more about their children's plans. This is a great help for the students. It will also help them to develop plans and track their activities. If we talk about the education of the students, they were also working to strengthen the programming in the school year when Taylor 500 and many other students were conducting summer programs. In this, the programming after day time and school time and the programming in Tamil match each other. In addition, we are trying to strengthen the internship program after school to prepare a plan to include the opinions of the students and students of the youth department in the school days. We aim to combine this with our path to education. This year, we have gained a lot of data regarding the Hajar. We have also managed to reduce the number of people who have left without running. Therefore, we will focus on the schools and grade levels that need more attention and regulate our district Hajar plans. Therefore, we have included all this in our planned plans for this year. I'm not sure if the committee knows that our nursing staff has made a small change in our nursing services this year. Sarah P. This is to provide more support to the big elementary schools called Redmond-Witchraft Heights. So, our itinerant nurse Jade Bachman moved to that place, and Sarah P. is outside for the full-time residents there. They provide services in two schools called Redmond-Witchraft Heights. Finally, we are ready to help schools to implement the new rules of timeout and unification, which were proposed by the Department a week ago, for the education of students. In order for you to understand what those rules are, how they are implemented in our schools, and how we implement them in this matter, you will need an introduction with 10 slides of 10 minutes in the next few days. Finally, Sarah P. Lise Yoder spent a lot of time with Ms. Jellison and Ms. Weaver in Redmond for a successful start for the children and families this year. Therefore, we will make sure that the school leaders have the necessary resources to help the children and families.

31:45 – 34:52•Speaker 2

Good evening to everyone. Now, let's talk about Instructional Technology. We were very busy during the summer. We had a lot of opportunities to do a lot of things that we couldn't do during school. We are bringing new methods such as Red Rover for data, application, payroll and other requests, Lillipad for Special Ed Department, and LingQ for food services. Therefore, we are working on making sure that data communication is correct, that people can login, and making rosters. Following the guidance of our Data and Applications Manager, Jen Garapi, we were able to appoint a Data Analysis and Research Director. Dr. Sara Foudy is their name. You will be reminded of their contribution to the recovery process. We encourage schools and central offices to do data analysis, to prepare reports, and to support our culture in making data-based decisions. We, Aspen, have launched a mobile site. This is a great opportunity for families to complete school forms and registration through the phone. In the first year without Jen, who was the data manager for the past 6 years, we were able to roll over the system. This was completed 10 days earlier than the previous year. In terms of hardware, regular updates are now happening every year. This year's Cycle Kindergarten, 1st class Chromebooks, as well as new Chromebooks for those who reach 6th and 9th class. New interactive displays will arrive at Sarawood Park and Bentley School by the end of this week. In the K-8 classes that were not brought home in the olden days, we have done all the inventory and other work for all the Chromebooks. We are now part of the new phone system made by CET. So we get new phones in all the classrooms and all the places. It is the Zoom phones app that provides this service. We are in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a situation where we are stuck in a In our digital learning curriculum, we are trying to implement it properly in K-8 grades in libraries. In addition, we have started to develop a new tool that helps to monitor the screen time of schools. We are happy to announce that the average screen time of students in the state is only about 18 minutes per day. So, we will continue to monitor this. We will give instructions to the students on what is the best and worst screen time, how long to use the screen, and how much time is appropriate. That's all. Thank you.

35:11 – 43:33•Speaker 3

Thank you. Greetings to everyone. I am happy to be able to come here. I will talk about the Human Resource Office. First of all, I would like to express my special thanks to our HR HR team. Because, despite the unexpected difficulties, this year was very busy. However, everyone worked together and helped us to overcome it. Therefore, at the beginning of the first year, we are happy to announce that all classrooms will be able to have teachers. That is a great news. All in all, the number of lives lost this year compared to the number of deaths in the past few years was a turnover. Retention figures will be beneficial for the numbers in our state when this goes into effect. You can see the numbers here. I don't have to read all of this. I don't think we have gained much political power. I think there is a possibility of a further increase. But if that happens, we are ready to take action. Then, the Supreme Court announced a resumption. A lot of people who used to work here and then decided to return have returned this year. So it is a good sign that people like to work here and that this news came out. When we examine our strategic goals, we see that 4 out of 4 new people are in the employment sector. Even now, we still have the same status that we have been following for the past few years. Adhyapanathil e kulla vazhigal I was very happy to hear my co-workers talking about how these paths to education, from special education to other departments where students started, are being spread. Because that is actually the love of this. The aim of this is to grow teachers in Bavi from our community itself. We are fortunate to have received numerous grants that help us to do this work in the best possible way last year. It is the largest registered teacher apprenticeship program. We are now entering the second year. In the first year, our three associations continued, and we are trying to recruit a total of four people. They are expected to be regulated in Sarah P. Redmond School and Witchcraft. That's why there are more details to come. Yes, we have appointed a full-time coordinator to help us with that and to guide our professors who are trying for licensing. This is a great achievement. That's a great thing. Transforming Diverse Educator Pathways Grant has really helped us to build our cultural diversity. Therefore, this year, a new academic group recruited from the Dominican Republic has joined. They were at the New Higher Institute today, and they will be there tomorrow. So now we have three people who came here for this J-1 program. You might have heard about the Parent2Para Professional program. This is all about making it really useful. We have a lot of opportunities in the ways of education, but we have to bring more awareness and develop a more sophisticated method. So that's why we're working together as a steering committee. I believe you will have received all the information about our Teaching Community Summit this Wednesday. This will take place from 12am to 4pm in Collins Middle School at Mary Maninga Learning Commons. Many people in this room will talk in this. Mun Supprandum Nileville Vidyabhyasa Sekretary Maya Dr. Wright will conduct the main speech here and share his thoughts on this movement. So that's the active movement this week. I would like to talk more about it. I feel I took more time than I was allowed. So I apologize. Do you have any questions? Thank you. Greetings to all. I am Silvakopam, the co-owner of Welcome Centre, who is responsible for our enrollment activities. For the updates of the DEI, DEI and Engagement Office, we are doing our best to contribute to the development of the BALOMING, which is the aim of our strategic plan, and certainly to help with the rest of the school fairs. It is a good opportunity to connect families with other services that we can provide directly or not directly, and to provide more hope in those partnerships and to connect families with other services that we can provide directly or not directly. H is working with our offices to find staff members, community members, affinity groups and other opportunities that can be a part of the great activities taking place from H-R offices. So, let's see if we know the families who are looking for employment opportunities. Sometimes, the family members who come to add children are looking for opportunities within the district. Thus, we are finding families and well-off people in that way. In the case of language learning, we are examining the opportunities to speak English in school committee meetings. Whether it is live or virtual, we are examining these options to get more opportunities for families and public. Thus, they will be able to participate in all the updates that we provide here. In addition, we are trying to include the opinions of families and students through panorama, videos, school site councils, and general community bodies. As part of the construction of basic facilities on the right, the Family Welcome Centre has not been just a registration office, but has been a family welcome centre for a full year. We are moving into the second year. Through those community partnerships, we were able to serve our families more properly. Moreover, not only the organizations represented here, but also the school leadership and the leadership of other organizations were able to operate more closely. That is, we are reviewing our enrollment procedures. We are making sure that the school committee rules are properly followed, and we are doing everything we can to make sure that students from other districts or states can start their first day of school from the time they arrive at the welcome centre. We are also trying to promote the idea of Parent Child Plus. Even though these small children have not registered through the Welcome Centre, we are trying to ensure that the children who receive the certificate at home can easily move to school and that they get the services by encouraging the teachers. We have to check how things will be when they are accepted in pre-school and pre-K. To do this, we have to cooperate with our academic team. I'm going to give you more details about the Welcome Center tomorrow. Good evening everyone.

43:33 – 47:37•Speaker 4

So, I'm going to talk about some important things last year. Since this is the first year, a lot of things have happened in our Welcome Center. That is, we are now a 100% paperless registration office. Also, our lotteries are held without paper. Everything is online. During the last school year, we had a lot of things to do. We had 26 on-site enrolment opportunities for families. We have also given training opportunities for families. We had ESL training opportunities for students for 8 weeks. We had workshops in English and Spanish. We are posting the recordings of the book on our website. We have a new family book in English, Spanish and Portuguese. In this booklet, there are details about the new community resources available to families in Salem Public Schools. This is a good solution for everyone who wants to know how to use our systems and community. We are also helping with community organizations to provide family services in the office. We have implemented our internal activities to provide education and educational services to students. Therefore, what is on the right side of those pictures is an opportunity for our ESL volunteers. At the top is the attendance workshop we run. In the middle is the booklet of the Welcome Centre. You may not be able to click on the links, but if you scan the QR code, you will get a booklet with all the details. On the right are the places we visited. We helped families register there for the next semester. Now, if we talk about the endowment, these are our current figures for the past three years. Our monthly income is 3830. If we do this for the past three years, you can see that our new school, Sarah Parker Ramond, is more than Salton Stanley. The reason for this is that we are not enrolling in certain grades of Sarah Parker Remond. You can see that because of the increase in the numbers of Wichraft, Holzman and Bates. The total number of enrolments for the past three years is more than that. This is all about admissions. Pre-K, Preschool and Anywhere admissions are complete. Preschool has 22 students and Pre-K has 35 students on the waiting list. Since the grades are incomplete, there are 118 admissions requests to be made. We are going to investigate them. That's all. Endowment and the Welcome Centre will end here. Thank you. Thank you.

47:37 – 51:19•Speaker 2

Greetings to all. I will tell you the statistics of the events in the past. In the past, 150 rooms have been changed. From New Liberty to New Liberty Salem Prep, to Carlton, and then from Carlton to Seer Park and Vermont. Along with this, about 50 changes have been made to other sites throughout the district. Of the work orders related to activities, 390 work orders have been completed by Friday. According to the figures two hours ago, about 442 work orders have been completed. We think that by the time the school opens, this amount will be around 500. In the projects completed during this rainy season, a painting by Bentley, ECC, Seer Park and Vermont NV is included. Bentley, Isisi, Ulveshath and all the other doors were completely painted. In Seer Park and Vermont, we painted the 2nd floor's classrooms and bedrooms, the basement's classrooms and bedrooms, the 1st floor's bedrooms and all the big rooms in the building. Bentley and Isisi moved to the lighting LED. The rooms are now completely open. They are very spacious. All the light fixtures that were left on the floor have been removed. Through this change, we expect a profit of about $12,000 a year. There will also be a profit in energy. Since the lights on the windows are self-made, it can be used for medical purposes. We repaired the parking lots at Bentley, ECC, Seer Park and Vermont. HVAC and HVAC did the work in the past. The activities at Bates continue this week. Two weeks ago, Horace Mann repaired the chiller at Salem High School. Fire and sprinklers were conducted throughout the district. According to the government's instructions, the fire hydrants and sprinklers were tested in all buildings as part of a five-year survey. Safety measures were carried out throughout the district. Locations were updated in Bentley and ICC units. There are now push-button locations in all internal locations. The teachers will not have to say the key to the underground facilities. We updated the security vestibule in Bentley. In Collins, we installed Staircase Cameras, New Libertay, Salem Prep, Access Controls, and Vape Detectors. What is happening is still incomplete. We are aiming to complete the Horace Mann Pre-K Playground this evening. This week, we are working together with the school admin staff and PDO. There are three vendors with four different options, but before we move forward, we would like to know everyone's opinion. Sarah Parker & Romand Auditorium's new ceiling, last week we replaced the carpet in Sarah Parker & Romand. At the end of the curfew, we are planning to change the sound system, stage lighting, and curtains. Sarah Parker and Romand's Salem Street Rebaving At the back of Salem Street, at Sarah Parker, the streets and roads of the town hall were demolished. At the beginning of the rainy season, the roads were covered with rocks. It was a big mess. Everyone was angry. A few days ago, the roads were repaired. They haven't demolished the roads. That's good for us. Now we think we can leave a dark cloud in the middle of the road. This will be safe for the residents on the day the school opens. Do you have any questions? That's all I have to say.

51:19 – 51:54•Speaker 3

Yes, Amber, stop. Thank you. Sarah P. Thank you for talking about the rock room. It was definitely my pleasure. Selam P. I am coming back to what I said earlier about the opening of the rock room. Drop-off in new schools and their new programs will be more helpful during pick-up times. Or do we feel that their new pick-up and dismissal procedures are safe? I will give an answer to that.

51:54 – 53:36•Speaker 4

During this pandemic, Beth Ann, Elizabeth, me, C, the city officer, David Ecker, who was in the police station in the past, have started discussions about this with a number of people. Charlene Sanoi also joined us. We have required a crossing guard there. I don't know if that's a decision, but we've already announced it through Rega. That is, the superintendent, Welsh, has joined us at that time. I think this will be the first meeting in his office. To talk about all traffic methods. Beth Angelison strongly believes that there are people who need to move forward and backward. But it would be good to have two crossing guards to assist them in their crossing. We realized that crossing guards do not control traffic. That was a new understanding for me. But when I heard that, I now understand. Their real job is to help students to safely cross the road. Therefore, we have asked David Tucker for some help to deal with the officers there. It is a shortcut. Not only the rescuers are coming there. Other people are using it as a shortcut to avoid Lafayette Street. So, it would be helpful if that happens. So, we have put those needs forward. That is... Thank you.

53:45 – 54:18•Speaker 3

Secondly, I fully support the need for a crossing guard. But to control the traffic, the police's presence there is 100% necessary. If we can support it more, it would be good to get one more day for testing before the other schools open. However, I think it will take at least a week to get used to how the rescuers, scientists, and survivors behave. But I am very happy to hear that the walkways are complete, because I did not believe it so much.

54:20 – 54:36•Speaker 4

Beth has told us to get the details in a good way. Of course, we will also be there. But they are the ones who are walking with Lauren to the top of that place. They will tell us how things are going for the first week. If there are any obstacles, we will not be able to overcome them. Okay, thank you.

54:43 – 55:13•Speaker 3

Let me say one more thing, even though I only spoke about the Saara Parkman School, in general, everyone should pay attention to God while opening schools in all our schools, and drive slowly. Our children and parents are eager to reach school at the right time, and that is a great support. Therefore, we are grateful to Nandi for any extra support from other departments in the city, from our families, and from the government. Good. Number 13.

55:13 – 55:26•Speaker 2

I have a question about the crossing guards. Three crossing guards who didn't know if they were at school stopped me. So, are we the ones who are making the crossing guards? No. So, it's Dave Tucker.

55:26 – 55:54•Speaker 4

So, it's us. When we saw him in his office two weeks ago, he couldn't come on the first day of the meeting. He wanted to postpone the meeting because he had called all the crossing guards to the meeting. Then it seemed that the legal proceedings were also taking place. Some of the evictions were to be lifted, but they were regulated by the Salem Police Department.

55:56•Speaker 2

Then you did a good job in the Bentley parking lot. It looks good. Thank you.

56:01•Speaker 4

In fact, all schools are good to see. I went to Khorachannam and checked. So it's a great achievement. Okay. Stopped at another end.

56:07 – 56:20•Speaker 3

Pardon me. I have a small question. The photographer on the side asked. Then you removed the name Saltonstall with a new name for the wedding. I didn't go there to look at that. Then that's good. That's great. Thank you.

56:20•Speaker 2

That's just a major sign board. But all the boards have been changed. Great.

56:26•Speaker 4

Good morning.

56:27 – 56:42•Speaker 2

I have a doubt about crossing guards. Is there a way to use them elsewhere? For example, if we don't need them. I was thinking about Carlton. We don't use him, do we? Then why don't we use him for something else?

56:52•Speaker 3

Yes, I don't know.

56:54 – 59:22•Speaker 4

Are you coming back? Just tell me. Sarah B. on Lafayette Street, in front of Carlton. I know that Redmond will be in front of us. It is a great relief for the school to see a familiar face when the children arrive. When we spoke to Deputy Superintendent Carboni in the Salem Police Department, they were conducting a law on excesses. Therefore, I believe that they would have used all the survivors they brought back. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions? I don't know who to ask this question to, but Sara P. I know that there were discussions about turning Redmond's back street into a one-way street for a few hours a day. I think members were also involved in it. Why can't the city allow us to do that? So when I write a strong letter, I know what to include in it. I can accept that. There were a lot of suggestions about it. Some of the family members and survivors at the school, this is a matter of May this year, but in the last school year Lydia King, the CET counsellor of that region, held a community meeting there. Therefore, I think they wanted to see how it would go to accept the consequences of the problems that arose. Lollipop cones are lollipop cones. I put a double stripe in the middle of the street and wanted to see how it would go. In the area of feedback from the school, especially from Beth and Anil, more signs will be accepted. Done. Okay. Thank you. I am still going to write a strong letter. If anyone in the city is listening to this, I think you should accept the most serious sign when you are outside a school. Thank you, sister. Okay, understood. Thank you.

59:30 – 1:02:33•Speaker 3

Hello, Good Evening to all of you from Food and Nutrition Service. First, I would like to tell you a little story about our school year. From 2026 to 2027, we will talk about some important changes in the school year. First, we had a very successful school year. We opened on the 39th day of the school year. We started on the first day after our school leadership institute. Last Friday was the last day. Until last Friday, we distributed 30,886 food parcels. Until last Friday, we distributed more than 31,000 food parcels. This was a collaboration between the students and the students. This is sold on 20 meal sites including 11 open meal sites. Open meal site means that you can come directly without ID or registration. We serve food to children from Linh, Peabody, and Beverley. They just want to be on sale. But if they are there at that time, they will get food safely. From 2026 to 2027, we are bringing a new point of sale initiative. This is called Ling. Through this platform, families will be able to see menus, nutritional information, allergy-causing items in their favorite language. This will explain everything in detail in the menu. Login is not required. This is a very important thing, because last year this was a problem. We immediately start the online ordering system for classrooms and field trips. This will help our food service teams to inform about food needs quickly. In addition, the online ordering system is also available for adults and high school children for Grab and Go food. We are in the process of starting these activities. This can wait for a while. We are promoting vegetarian and gluten-free food for all children from pre-K to 12 years old. This will be useful for more children. We continue our commitment to provide 50% of the food that is available locally in our school gardens. We will ensure this in the months of September-October and April-June, when the prices are high. We are confident that we will provide 25% of the food that is available locally in the remaining first year. We will increase the amount of food that we share with the district and avoid illicit food. We are doing this for the health of the children in general, in order to maintain the USDA DEC guidelines, reduce sodium and sugar levels. Finally, we ensure that all students from pre-K to 8th class will get two useful experiences in accordance with the curriculum we have developed in the past year. That is, through school gardens, they will get information about food. That's all about food, nutrition, and nutrition. Thank you.

1:02:33 – 1:08:02•Speaker 4

I am speaking in the place of Javoy because I am sure that he is in the process of sending bus routes to the lower levels. As the superintendent said, all families have been informed about their bus routes today. This includes students travelling in 12 large regular education buses. The route is for a total of 1,296 students. This includes 271 special education students who receive in-district transportation. Let me remind you that there has been an increase in our special ed transportation in the last year. We expect that by 1582 students will be able to travel. We expect that when more students arrive, there will be an increase in this number. So, as you know, Healy is a new servant of our traditional education department. Since they won the tournament, we have been conducting meetings with them. Our career with NRTU ended at the beginning or end of the spring season, so we called for a new tournament. Healy won the tournament. We regularly conduct meetings with them, so they feel they are ready. As I mentioned earlier, all of their drivers will complete the routes they have to take on August 26th. I have also listened to the Supreme Court's decision to appoint a former N.R.T. resident who knows about the sale. So we have as much confidence as we can. We can say that we are in good faith with Jagriya. We have a meeting with the drivers on Sunday on the matter of NRT. This is a virtual experiment that we conduct to make them understand and make them understand us. We are conducting a de-escalation experiment for the NRT people who take our special education students. All the drivers operating on the Salem routes are known as Salem drivers. So they have completed their test runs. Even though the Wayfinder app is new to us, I don't think we have been able to fully utilize it in the past few years. This is an app where families can log in and see where their students' buses are. It works successfully. Last year, it was successfully used. Also, it helps us to reduce the number of people on the bus. So, students can stop their bus passes when they get on and off the bus. This is a new process. We are going to implement it. We are not implementing it on the first day of school because bus passes are not mandatory for the first two weeks. It will take time to understand what the expectations of schools are and we will slowly bring it to the students. We think this is very important for families. Because when they track their GPS Wayfinder app in the bus, they can be sure that their student is in that bus. It is important for us to know how many people are actually using the bus and if all the seats are filled in the bus. So, we have installed Wi-Fi and GPS in all the big buses. Last year, a large number of our tablets lost internet access. So, we have bought new tablets that use cellular data to prevent Wi-Fi. Bus passes will be available in schools on the first day of school. But we expect that students will not have to use these buses until the second week. When students travel by bus, the bus pass has English and Spanish information on the back of the bus pass. Through this, students will be able to understand their answers. Kindergarten and first-class students' bus passes will be on our side on the first day of school. They will be treated differently from others, and their bus stop name will also be marked on the pass. As you know, we will not let kindergarten and first-class students go without safety. This will help drivers to recognize their children easily. The details about the bus routes I mentioned earlier have been announced today. If the bus is more than 15 minutes late, we don't want that to happen. Sometimes that happens in October. Then we request the transportation office to call. Do you think everyone knows this number? 978-744-1244. The operators inside me will be there to help. After that, we will contact Healy or NRD. There is a radio system to contact the two companies in our transportation office. We intend to inform families through the Wayfinder app. Finally, the bus passes of Salem High School students can be used as ID cards for the second year. This should be topped when you get on and off the bus like other students. You can also use this to take library books and have lunch. When they reach high school, they can use this pass to sign in, especially for those who reach late in the evening. This pass will also help you to take books from the library and make time for lunch. That's all I have to share about the Gathagatha system.

1:08:14 – 1:13:18•Speaker 1

Lastly, since security is very important, let's talk about security updates. The most important activity that has not been discussed so far is the security meeting. On August 6, our 4th security meeting was held. More than 65 representatives from the district took part in it. Representatives from all schools took part. It made it possible to schedule our security drills. We are very proud of the progress of the last year. By September 30, we were able to complete our first fire drill, our first security drill, and our Aaliyah drill together with the Army and Police. Last year, it was 100% completed. This year, we will continue to do so. We tried to make sure that there were no violations in the schedule. We had a lot of sessions to test the response to the current security conditions. We discussed the things that happened in the previous system for 2 to 3 minutes. So, what are you going to do? Who are you going to call? How will we respond? That was the security meeting. Security drills have been scheduled. They will be scheduled within a year. This is the second year that the Raptor Visitor Management System is running this system, and we have to change the licenses along with the changes. We will be 100% paper-free, and we will be able to screen with each device and iPad. This ensures more security. All the teachers and examiners give them a badge that they don't have to give immediately to the school. The teachers and examiners are now more careful. They ask, who are you? What are you doing here? Because the schools have built vestibules, those who come to give lunch or shoes can take it without entering the school. Finally, Sandy Hooker, Say Something, and the reporting system. This is the second year that this system is being implemented. All students from 4th to 12th grade will be given training. Last year, we received 83 safety instructions. Of those, 55 were life-saving. 28 were life-saving. This system, which can be used to report to students and provide the necessary assistance, has been successful. That was the security update. Let's move on to the next one. The second update is the MSBA update. We want to remind people that projects are taking place in Pinnani. If you want, you can go to the next slide. First of all, this is one of our priorities. We are now in the design development phase. When I joined this job, things were in a very important phase. Now we have started doing things very properly. There have been a number of design development meetings. I know that the Margaret School Committee has come to see you. So I'm not ignoring it. But we are on the right track. The schedule for our furniture prices is going well. We held a weekly meeting on June 18th. We held a weekly meeting on July 23rd. Our next meeting is on September 17th. It will be held here. The meeting will be online in October due to the pandemic. That's a big thing. I was surprised. That's why I was at the school fair. I got a lot of good feedback. People, especially children, counted their years with their children and said, Oh God, you can study here. I heard that. So I got a lot of good responses and good questions. Then two more, sorry. Next one. This is the end of this video. I promise. There are more projects in two stages. We have to complete these projects. Some school committee members may remember you. We need your permission to complete them. So don't think that we forgot about Bates and Melkoury. It is still going on. We are moving forward according to the schedule. We are submitting design development documents. It is also in the design development phase in September. We are sure that it will start construction in the spring of 2027. The next project is to replace the new heat pump in Horace Mann Laboratory School. It is currently underway. We have gone a little further in this regard. We are in the development phase of the scheme, and we are also thinking of signing a contract with the project manager and designer of Udamey. You will be able to see it. It is available in your documents. The aim of that project is to start construction in the year 2028. Okay.

1:13:27 – 1:13:38•Speaker 4

Thank you all very much. Do you have any questions from the audience? I know that there was a question for the members, but I forgot it. Did you have anything to ask Elizabeth about Gathagatha? It's gone. No, I got it. Do you want it? Oh, you got it. Yes, do you want it? No, I'm sure. Oh, I wanted to ask you something.

1:13:38 – 1:14:25•Speaker 2

Okay, I... That is, um, I wanted to ask that person something, who, um, gave that description, um, I feel that, I feel that, right, that was before. Um, they said, oh, it was you. You said something, no. Um, you said something, that person, um, has to keep hands and legs. Is it a new change or do we always do it? I thought we were doing it differently. I don't know how old that law is. But it's not new this year. We've been doing it since I came here.

1:14:25•Speaker 4

So I don't know how it was before that. I just asked. But if you want, I can research it.

1:14:40 – 1:16:20•Speaker 3

Angam nirthuka. Nanni. Umm, enikku parayaan ulladha ithaan enide komediyele aadhiy vasham aana. Athinaal enide aadhiy vasham skooli laekku madangunadhu poley aana. Ithu valara mighichadha aayrunnu. Ithu eru state of the union poley ellaavarum nadathiyadha aayrunnu. Ithu valara, umm, ulkaachi ulladha aayrunnu. Kalinye oru manikuran ullil enikku orubadu kaaryangal padikan kalinyu ennu thonannu. Certainly, there are some things that I would like to hear more about. I am not going to ask questions about it now. But, Umm, there are three things that attracted me. Even if it is through an email, it is enough. Umm, but it is a very big thing for me to introduce IEP, IEP software. I still look through my Gmail to find IEP regulations. So, if there is any educational method that we and our families can learn, I would like to know more about it. When we started SPR, SPR, we talked about the review and regulation. So, that's another topic for tonight. But it's another thing that needs to be discussed for 10 minutes. I think it would be very helpful to learn about it. Then there were a lot of things in the ID department. I had a lot of opinions, and I think it is a topic that we can discuss specifically about the use of chrome. I would like to know more about the 18-minute screen time that you just showed me. I have a lot of questions about that. So, again, yes. It was very helpful and I am grateful for the time spent on this. I have a lot of questions now. But I think this will be a great start for the year. I am very excited about this. So, thank you. Yes, and that family welcome booklet was also very good. Yes.

1:16:20 – 1:17:34•Speaker 4

Do you have any other questions or comments? Umm, that family welcome book was also very good. I wanted to say one more thing. Umm, I have one thing to say to the executive team. When we conduct retreats, we have to list the things that have happened till the end of the year in advance. Then when you come to know things, you will not have to worry. It reminded me of the opinion about the difference in technology. The reason, Mark, is what we all thought when you came to the end. Okay. When we get more information about the use, Doctor. Fauci would be good to come here and help explain that information. We have to decide when to start investigating these things, but only then can we do it with the help of families. As the rest of the people said, this is very helpful. I am surprised that you are doing so much work in the venal period. Anything else? Do you have anything else to add? Doctor? Welch?

1:17:34 – 1:18:47•Speaker 2

No, this is a start for me to understand how Selam works. As I said earlier, a week later I said, this team is struggling a lot. The CEO has just left. He took me to four schools in the afternoon. He said, we are doing all this. I couldn't believe the amount of work he does. He only does one or two or two or three jobs in very few schools. I told Veronica, look, the next jobs are going to take place here in the Venal period. So I understand how things are organized. Other people have told me history about the palaces. So I think everyone is paying attention to this principle. I also want to see that long-term plan. People can tell me all that. But I want to see where it is going. Only then I can explain it to our rescuers. But I am very grateful to the working teams. I asked Bethany, hey, should I go home after this report? I asked the team. They said they were not going home. But I said, you can go home if you want. Right? I tried to invite you to go home early. That's why we had a calendar of things. And you all continued. So, it would have been great if you could go home. Okay, I can go now.

1:18:48•Speaker 4

You can't go home. You kicked me out.

1:18:52•Speaker 4

Um. Okay, next we have subcommittee reports. Um, Angam Miranda.

1:18:59 – 1:19:21•Speaker 3

Pardon me. I thought I would bring this to another issue. But I would like to show one of the 38 pages of the packet that the public has received. I think there is a small letter on the cover there. I think there might have been a prayer left behind there.

1:19:22•Speaker 4

Um. Which one? Page 38. The part about the Salem High incident.

1:19:33•Speaker 2

Yes. It has been left behind there.

1:19:35 – 1:19:50•Speaker 3

Please take care of that. I also have some subcommittee reports. Um. Forgive me. Do you want me to wait until you call about the land and property? If you want, I can wait.

1:19:50•Speaker 4

I can wait until you give me permission.

1:19:53 – 1:22:53•Speaker 3

I don't know if the personal department wants to report about the land and property or the finance. So... Okay. Sheddy. Policies. Do you want to wait? Policies are also there. Yes. Sheddy. Sheddy. Good. So, we had a meeting about the buildings and places in this Venalkala. We got a lot of updates about the high school buildings, the traffic, the traffic in Sarah Parkhurst Elementary, and the projects in Venalkala. It was very good. But one thing I would like to say is that what we talked about at Bendley School is that we want to inform the community members, the survivors and the people. We talked about how we can be as safe as possible for students and the people. It was very hot at times in this building. I am happy to report that the AC will be available in all the classrooms of Bentley and Issysee from the assistant superintendent poll I received from the assistant superintendent poll. We are working hard to implement some of the measures that will help to increase our purchase decisions in this period. That's all I have to say about the contracts and arrangements. Subcommittee of Curriculum joined the meeting at a very short time to announce the rest of the books and documents. This is just an operational program. It was a very fast-paced meeting. But we heard good news from Principal Bains and Deputy Superintendent Carboni, and we voted unanimously to announce it. Finally, I would like to say that the curriculum subcommittee members were also participants in the Supreme Court process. Therefore, unfortunately, some of the topics that we had intended to discuss over the past few months and some of the updates that had to be obtained had been suspended temporarily. That's why, as the Chairperson of the Curriculum Subcommittee, I returned the report about the buildings and grounds only now. Because I was Chair before, not now. I made a mistake when I said that. I'm sorry, Emily. Ah! This is a surprise. Anyway, let's return to the Curriculum Subcommittee. Starting from the beginning of the same year, we will try to get the yoga done by the end of September and the end of October. The yoga will be online. Definitely. That's all. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Okay. Would you like to say something? Me?

1:22:53•Speaker 2

Would you like to say something?

1:22:56•Speaker 3

Okay. Member Hoffman, do you have anything to say?

1:23:02 – 1:23:16•Speaker 4

I don't remember who is the chair now. I don't know. Members Quote. Thank you. I will give a small update of the policy subcommittee. At the end of today's agenda, there are a few suggestions from that committee. We had a few meetings during the venal period. We think the mask policy test is ongoing.

1:23:22 – 1:24:25•Speaker 3

Mask, MASD, Policy Cleanup. We completed Section B and it will be conducted for investigation tonight. We remind you that we are doing our utmost to agree with our policy. We are now conducting the first hearing. Until the school committee completes all the new parts, it will be postponed for a while. At that time, we will come back and pass the second and third, so it will become our new book. Because we can't include anything else in one in the way of tracking our current rules. So we are going to clean up that and keep everything aside. So there is a delay in the section book. The aim is to complete it within the next 12 months, hoping that it will go a little faster. Before the beginning of the school year, we talked about some of the rules that need to be followed. We talked about the rules that need to be followed. We talked about the rules that need to be followed. We talked about the rules that need to be followed. We talked about the rules that need to be followed. We talked about the rules that need to be followed.

1:24:25 – 1:26:23•Speaker 4

We talked about the rules that need to be followed. So now we have a lot of decisions to make. So I'm going to go on a trip as soon as I can. I accept a promise from the Cummings Foundation to accept an event. It's a promise to accept. I beg you. I beg you. Talk. Can you explain that to me? That is, this is a great thing. Yes, I am happy to give a little information. Every year, the Cummings Foundation and its Board of Trustees and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights and the Directorate of Human Rights The pre-K family had a wonderful experience. They had a strong connection with Salem Public Schools. So, they agreed to this school as a school of liberal arts. So, it was a surprise to us. It was a very happy one. But in the message sent to the principal, they talked about the experience of Salem Public Schools and Bates. The principal's leadership, the great classroom, the enrichment teachers, the special specialists in the room, the support staff, the student services teams, etc. were especially praised by them. They also thought that it was a great start for their students to enter the school, and they are grateful for the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Therefore, it is a unique honor to be recognized as one of the great activities of Bates Elementary School. This is something that is not regulated. Can you tell me how much this is? Yes. This is a $20,000 reward. Very good. That is, you have passed the Hoffman Award. You have passed the Stott Award. Are all of you happy?

1:26:23 – 1:26:41•Speaker 3

Does anyone have any objections? The award has been passed. The award for accepting a school physician's degree from 2026 to 2028.

The award for accepting a school physician's degree from 2026 to 2028. The award for accepting Shady. Shady. Angam Viran's proposal was announced. Angam Vyas voted. Are all of you in favor? Any opposition? The proposal passed the New Liberty Innovation School, Salem Prep High School, New Liberty Innovation School, and Salem Prep High School calendars from 2026 to 2027. I can announce a proposal, but it has been discussed.

1:27:41•Speaker 2

Okay, I will vote. I will vote. Discuss. I was trying to figure out what the difference was.

1:27:49 – 1:28:30•Speaker 4

After she accepted in the winter period, on May 19, we understood that the second day was the second day of the MCAS exam. So, that day was not needed. So, she moved to Salem High School and Salem Prep on April 7. It was moved to 7th April. In New Liberty, Jamal said that they don't have to change it because they have the right to go out on all Wednesdays or on the day before. That's why he said that it can be avoided. That's the reason for it. Thank you. Okay.

1:28:30 – 1:29:00•Speaker 3

Angam is expressing his love to Stuart. Angam is waving a Miranda. Is everyone okay? Is there any objection? The love has been passed. I hereby declare that the proposed physical restraint policy is in effect by 5,416. I hereby declare that the proposed physical restraint policy is in effect by 5,416.

I hereby declare that the proposed physical restraint policy is in effect by 5,416. I hereby declare that the proposed physical restraint policy is in effect by 5,416.

1:29:10 – 1:29:55•Speaker 2

Thank you. Yes, to make it more clear, I had already spoken about the new constitution this evening. Miss, Wingard can give more details about this. But before the school year starts, this will help us to implement the constitution. So, before the school year starts, we would like to change our rule to read it three times before it comes into effect. Yes, especially if there are any questions, I will answer them. The policy committee has asked questions about whether the new rules are in place and how the reporting will be done. To be clear, the first rule will be to stop the laws temporarily and then we will have a second rule to accept the law.

1:29:55 – 1:30:19•Speaker 4

Those who are in favour of the rule that was passed by Angam Miranda and Angam Hoffman Pindangyadu. Those who are against it. The rule has been passed. The law 516 of the Vedakati Shariirika Niyantrananayam is to allow for the adoption of a child. That is what we are doing. What are you saying?

1:30:19•Speaker 2

What are you saying? Thank you.

1:30:22 – 1:30:47•Speaker 3

Those who have approved the adoption of Angam and Viran and those who have approved the adoption of Angam and Maningu, Opponents? The bill has been passed. Okay. A bill that was passed on May 17, 2011, by the Ministry of Health and Welfare has been passed. That's how it's done. What about Pindang? The bill that was passed by Mr. Miranda and Mr. Hoffman Pindang is being discussed.

1:30:47 – 1:31:25•Speaker 2

Thank you. I have some more information. Nursing and Health Services Director Ms. Marcy has joined us. Currently, there are a number of measures that have been implemented to prevent this virus, including medicines, physical activity, nutrition, food allergies, and social and economic health. These measures will help improve general information about the measures that are being implemented to prevent this virus. So, we are updating this as a strict wellness rule for everyone who has read it three times. Other questions?

1:31:25 – 1:31:42•Speaker 3

Angam Vaisa? No. Okay. Those who have approved Angam Varahona and those who have approved Angam Hofman Pindangayathu, those who have opposed, the rule has been passed. The rule of the medicines that have been prescribed is the rule that was first adopted in 1709.

1:31:45•Speaker 2

This is a token of my appreciation. I need a pintangal.

1:31:48•Speaker 3

Pintangal. I'll submit it to the church.

1:31:53 – 1:32:26•Speaker 2

Thank you. Again, Miss. Morris has given some details about this. The wellness we have updated with the new facilities is also included in this. Most importantly, asthma inhalers, insulin, and EpiPens, and the use of their own medicine, and the fact that they are available in schools, and the fact that school nurses are given the opportunity to use them, are made clear in this. We have made it clear that even though we are not giving experiments to the SROs, if they are in place, they will be able to use them.

1:32:27 – 1:32:43•Speaker 3

Okay, this is a promise made by Angam Hofman and Angam Stahl Pindangi. Those who agree, those who oppose, the promise has been passed. Finally, I declare the promise that the policy manual will be passed and that the full policy manual will be completed by the first of May.

1:32:49•Speaker 4

Angam Hofman has made it clear. I will explain it again and again. Yes. Can you tell me one more thing?

1:32:56 – 1:33:33•Speaker 3

Please forgive me. I will definitely tell you about the backup documentation that you are doing. Even if we don't make it complete, I think we can do it within the next month. We are preparing a list of the programs that we would like to accept from the government. For example, what I have in my mind now is the general opinion presentation of the programs. We are looking to accept only those from MASC. This is equivalent to the length of the institution. That is, the things that are allowed to talk to each and every one of the programs for only three minutes. So if anyone wants to comment, I would like to remind them that we have made a video in which we can discuss more after he leaves.

1:33:38 – 1:35:08•Speaker 4

Let me add one more thing. This is a very good procedure for us. Especially when I was a policy chair before this, things weren't that clear. So I thank Sherlick and Megan. Because they can take things properly. I can't do that. Okay, who is the one who approves of what Angam Hoffman said and what Angam Stahli said? Opponents have passed. Let's move on to the newsletters and topics. First of all, I apologize. Some of you may have noticed that I have not been able to prepare the last news about the reason. I did not get time for it because of a personal problem. I apologize for not being able to do it at the end of the year. In August, we will only have these details because of our one and only promise. There are retreats and retreats to come with the school committee for updates. Dr. I think that the data of the Ministry of Education is waiting for those details. An update on the Educator Pathways. Let's see what comes next. In fact, I can't tell you the next things now. Because we still don't know what our schedule will be in September. So it will be just a retreat. Important votes. I included the issue of the coming center event in it. Because it's a big deal. Then I have included the issue of retreat in the calendar. There is a link to the calendar in it. Is there anything else important to be mentioned in the news?

1:35:08•Speaker 2

Do you think that the Bishop's family wants their name to be in everything? I don't think that's in the coming center.

1:35:18•Speaker 4

Is there anything in your side?

1:35:22•Speaker 2

Yes. Yes. It's public.

1:35:23•Speaker 4

That's why. Yes. Yes. Right. Yes.

1:35:30•Speaker 3

Okay, there are no other connections. Let's end this. Do you have any information? I have a few things to say.

1:35:34 – 1:38:14•Speaker 2

Firstly, at the end of last year, Mr. Benz and Mrs. Hussain came and said that they are getting financial help from all our senior students and that they are taking care of everyone. I would like to ask about that. I want to know how it was for our CTE and CTE group. I was wondering how it was because they said that they would accept continuous lessons through phone calls and messages. I wanted to know if there was any chance that students would not respond to them. I want to know how it was all. I don't want to forget it when I start school. Secondly, I think we can talk about these bikes and think about what they do at school. Many rescuers have asked questions about this. Last year, I saw high school students going in the wrong direction on this bike. They are usually on auto-mobiles. They are moving at a speed of 20 miles per hour. Children should not wear ordinary helmets to protect their heads. They should wear real helmets. If this cannot be managed by the state or the city, it can be managed by the schools. Anyway, we need to talk about this. I don't want to see the kids getting into trouble. Like new drivers, this is a big threat. If they are not aware of the responsibilities, it is dangerous. I am putting this forward as something to be considered. Then, I am getting a lot of questions about rainbow crosswalks. Therefore, I would like to say one thing to all of you. We are working with Ward RCT councillor, DPW, DPW. We are trying to get the facilities. Rainbow Crosswalk will be available in all schools. We would like to make it a practice in every school. More details are yet to come, but no need to exaggerate. It is about to happen. There are some schools that have not been renovated this year because of construction and painting. I don't want to spoil our plans. Finally, please forgive me when I go to school. Especially Horace Mann High School, there is a huge crowd there. There are also buses. Thank you.

1:38:45 – 1:40:06•Speaker 3

I would like to remind the public that our school committee retreat will take place next week. I don't know if you intended to say this, so I apologize for what I said. I am very interested in participating in retreats with the CET Council. A lot of things are achieved from such retreats. The school committee's work is also the same. From 5 to 8 pm on September 3, it will be held in the chamber of Collins Middle School. Everyone wants to participate. Then, Salem Alliance for the Environment, SAFE, Salem Public Schools, and the City's Sustainability Department have installed air quality monitors. Excuse me, North Shore CDC is a part of this. They are also present in many of our schools. When there were problems related to forest fires, this was very helpful. I encourage them. Some school committee members have also participated in the installations. If you want to know more about the climate change in your area, you can visit purpler.com.

1:40:10 – 1:40:22•Speaker 4

Thank you. We were able to go to the top of the mountain. It was very nice. Okay. I'll take the last motion. Motion to break the yoke.

1:40:22•Speaker 2

Second. I'll fall. Is everyone okay?

1:40:24•Speaker 3

What do I have to say? The yoke is broken. Go.
