0:09 Stay tuned. Just getting online to the tube.

0:22 All right, everyone. Um, so we’re live streamed on YouTube and I’m going to call or I guess I’ll call us order at 11:04. Um, as I said, I’m gonna try to turn off my camera

0:47 there with Oh, here we go. Okay. So, um with um Kate Schmeck, Pepper, Jen, Chapter, and um we are called to order 11:04.

1:06 Okay. Um, first item is Oh, public comment. All right. Sorry. Gotta go. I’ll go back on camera. Um, so public comment is if anyone is interested in making a comment, please raise your hand.

1:21 Probably Reese is the only non-press person. Okay. I don’t see anybody hand raised. Just double check that. Nope. Okay. So, I’m going to go back off video. And so, no public comment. Um, so the next item is um discuss policy review and updates for 2025 2026. Um, I prepared a spreadsheet » of all of the um these are all of the bulleted policy uh um suggested um changes from MASC » going back um as far as I know going

2:10 back forever. Um so we had not done 23 24 and 24 25. » So that and before that we had done them. So that’s what this is inclusive of. » Um some of these have so the comments on the far right will indicate if we’ve taken action which we have on some of them which we did back in June. » And I don’t think we actually didn’t do any in August » at least according to the minutes. So then these are all of the ones that they have on their bulletins for us to well for all school committees to take action. Um and then you know there’s the discussion of doing the entire you know the entire policy manual. » So I only ask how far back you went because I did the same exercise. Um » do you have more

2:57 » and how many more? I went back to March 23 bulletins back to March. Okay. Um. » Oh, all right. Because I thought I covered all the way back. » There were like six or seven bullets, I think, or eight bullets, I think, or something. » All right, then we’ll have to go back. What? We can add them or we can merge. Did you do a spreadsheet? » I did do a spreadsheet. » Okay. » So, we’ll have to merge » merge them. And I sort of broke them out um into three categories. So, I did minor where where MASC was recommending minor edits. Um and there are truly ones that are like adding or [Music] » um and then where the edits were more substitive. » Okay.

3:42 » And then I might » Did you share that document? » No. Okay. » But I can » Yeah, that would be helpful. » Yeah. » Um and then there’s 13 new policies that MASC has recommended. » Okay. Um, I think it would be » Did you cross references against our policy manual? » I Yes. So, I made a master spreadsheet with all of our policies. Yep. » And then I just made notes about, you know, ones » because there are many there, many that need to be updated, » right? » They weren’t necessarily on the on the bulletins though, » like they could have gone back for they like I just went through the actual bulletins, » but I think there were many that probably go back to 19, 20, 21. I didn’t go back that far. So, I went through I

4:29 went on the MP website, searched for their policy newsletters, and like went through the lists of policies that were on there. » Okay. » Um, so that’s what this is. » Okay. » What I But » I mean, we have to start someplace. So, we can start with the ones that are on » Okay. » your spreadsheet. Okay. » Um, » so, um, as I said, some of them have already been done. » Um, I normally do them by letter category, but we can just go through them. It’s, you know, it’s fine. Um uh the first one is EF civil rights complaint policy for child nutrition programs. That is an adop that we need to adopt. » Yep. Be a new policy. » Um IGA and IGD um are combined, » right? So that we need to basically replace. That’s the curriculum development and adoption.

5:18 » IMGA I think we approve. » IMGA we did approve. So that’s all set. Um to my knowledge, I don’t know that they’ve been uploaded. So that I need I need to go back and check. » Um remove organization of instruction. » Um that’s their recommended. So I think we need to give this to John because he just needs to review this. » Um I think there was a question mark there on whether we want to remove that or not. So I think we probably got to get their opinion on that. » Um curriculum adoption is also suggested to be removed. I think we should also just question that. Um, IH AI occupation education is also suggested to be removed. » Um, homeschooling, we did that. That is

6:04 a dupe, I think. Yeah, we we did that. I have that twice on here. I knew that. » That has been removed. Um, also suggested we remove IBHNA, which we did, right? Remote learning. Yeah, remove and adopt IBH. So, I think they’re asking us to remove IBH-E and adopt IBH.

6:43 But I, if I remember right, I did not find those in our online policy. We probably never had it. » So maybe we never even adopted it. » We probably never did. But they’re asking us to adopt I HBE. That’s what my notes show. » Okay. Which is a remote learning. Yep. Um I is um I is evaluation of instructional programs that I believe we gave to Julia and John and I don’t think we’ve heard back. » Okay.

7:20 Uh where are we? IMA teaching activities and presentations. I thought so I had a question on that. They’re suggesting we remove it » and I was just going to asking whether we should keep it. » He gave this to me. probably didn’t get I’ll see if we got back to » um BEDH which is public comment at school committee meetings » they’re asking us to adopt it » do we not already have that » we have one » yeah but » it’s on my list of ones where they’re the recommended changes were substantive so » so the question is do we want to adopt theirs

8:12 Okay. Um, we approved CHA and CHC. That was approved already in June. » Okay. » Um, IGB is um, student services program. They’re suggesting we replace with, you know, update update to the MSC. I think we probably should ask Lisa Marie, » okay, » to chime in on that.

8:37 Um, parental notification to sex education, IHMA. Um, again, we would need John » to just give his okay on that. » Yep. » Um, student services program, IHBA. Um, also probably have to have Lisa Marie look at it.

9:03 IHBD compensatory education, we already replaced that. IHBF homebound instruction, we replaced that. » IHBG homeschooling, we replaced IHBG-R, we did delete that addendum. We replaced IHBH.

9:33 um, instructional materials we replaced JRJ-R reconsideration of instructional resources that we already let me just confirm. We already dealt with that. Um, I thought with the Oh, no. Maybe we didn’t confirm with John. We did the um um pro the procedure for maybe that’s what this is. Um I think the procedure Yeah. » It was in the wrong place. We put it in the um not in the wrong place. We put it with thought we put it with the library reconsideration of library materials. Let me just ask which I don’t I don’t combine them. » Yeah. No, it was um

10:20 let me go. We’ll have to let me send him an email and ask him what that was. That he was reviewing that » because it was very it was similar to the maybe that’s what it was. It was similar to the rec consideration of library materials, but this is instructional resources. » Okay. » So, we probably just need to Does he want us right does he want us to replace this and keep this procedure? Um, library materials selection and adoption. We need to confirm that with John. Why do I think we did, but Oh, no. It’s the library um reconsideration. We did field trips. Um,

11:06 JA that I had a question on for John. Um the if you if you see the MASC field trip particularly overnight is pretty short. » Okay. » Ours is many pages leng in length which was drafted by our attorney. Okay. » Because we do these international trips which I’m not sure every school district does that and I think it’s pretty robust. » Okay. » So that was the question I had » you know for this you know the committee or for John that or andor our attorney should we keep Should we keep ours? » Right. » I kind of think we should. » Um, IKAB student progress report we approved. Um, graduation requirements. We

12:00 D student submission to educational surveys. We that’s still outstanding, » right? » Um wish you can discuss that. Uh teaching about controversial issues and speakers. We have we approved the replacement » animals in school IMG. We approved competency determination that we need to John needs to weigh in on that, right? And we have till December 31st. » Yeah. Um graduation requirements. I don’t that was a dupe. Sorry. Um um so so now here are these new ones in the latest bulletin. » Yep. » Guess in solicitation by staff which is this issue around raffles, » right? » Um I so I guess we probably should just have John, you know,

12:46 re, you know, just take a look. But I I have no idea whether we do raffles or not, but we might. I don’t know. » We’ll have to ask him because it basically says we » can’t, » right? Um JJ student fundraising activities they’re asking us to um replace with theirs. » Um one thing I will say about that » student fundraising. » Yeah. Okay. » Well, we can I guess we can discuss when we come. There’s a line in there that we have always had and it’s still in there that says it’s strongly discourages strongly discourages door-to-door solicitation. » Okay. » We do door-to-door solicitation. » I’ve never liked the doortodoor solicitation. » Okay. But I think we should at least just, you know, sort of run that by John and see what he has to say about that. » Um,

13:31 » Um, » Um, KBE, relations with parent boost organizations, same thing. They’re asking us to review replace. I think that’s also um raffles are in there. » I think that raffles came up in a couple of them. I think it was that one. » So, EA ECAB, which is access to buildings and grounds. I don’t think we had that. It’s a new I think it’s a new policy that they’re recommending, » right? Okay. Yeah, because I looked at I don’t have this. So that they’re looking for us to adopt that. » Visitors to school. They’re asking for us to adopt. » Ki EFBA. Also, this is new school food and nutrition meal modifications, » right? » Um I think we should give this to John. » Um he may have um » John Constantino who’s the food review

14:18 this. I I it does say that like we will modify meals, » right, » for everybody based on dietary. I’m not » I don’t know if we’re doing that or we can do that or I guess we have to it appears » it appears. So I think we should look at that and » um the parent advisory councils um that was also um I think for Lisa Marie. » Okay. » Um or John, whatever. It does say so it references um specifically um um CPAC » which I thought we had but I guess we didn’t have an actual policy but it also says if you have more than 100 » ELLL or multil languages that we have to have an » version of CEX so I don’t know » I don’t know where we are on that right

15:03 yeah so we would need to ask and I mean » you know actually we could probably just adopt it and if we don’t have that » then we don’t have then we don’t it. » So, actually that’s that’s probably a that might be an MASC question. » Um, as well, like if we don’t have it, do should we modify it, adopt it? » Yeah. » Although, I suppose if you’re at like, you know, 95 kids, you » So, that’s all I had. So, where All right. So, where um I’m kind of mixed up with the letters, so I don’t know if you did it by Oh, no. You did it by category. I did it by category, but I did go by, you know, in order. » Um, like » you have it as a spreadsheet order. I have it as a spreadsheet. If you have » Can you um

15:50 um I wonder if I have you email it to Lisa Danny and she can print. » She’s in there and can print it. Lisa.

16:16 Yeah. Do you mind emailing it to um you mind emailing it to Lisa and she’ll print it out? » It’s on it way right now. We probably should merge the two and then we can give it to the one document to John. Yeah.

19:01 I will. I will. Okay. Okay.

19:09 So, that one, that first page. » Yep. Um those are the minor the ones that have really minor edits. » Okay. » Um and I am happy to just sort of like take charge of bringing these forward. Um » well that’s fine I think but it’s hard to like we need to determine how many at a time we’re going to do because it can get a little overwhelming. » Yeah. » Um so um review changes 323. So, was it a bulletin from 323? » Yes. » Okay. Um Oh, I have the bulletin. So, um Well, I can’t see it because it wasn’t working. Okay. Um so, even if I mean, so I because I think it’s sort of um

19:59 helpful for the school committee members to know what like what is it, you know, what’s the change, » right? So, there’s it probably printed on another note. There’s any like on the next page there’s a I had a column where I noted what the change was. Um and I actually um started in what this is. » No.

20:39 you said there’s another So it might be when she printed it. » So this column been making notes of what exactly it is. » No, it’s in print. Um, and I worked with Stephen to get our the PDFs of our policy put into word format. » Okay. » Um, so that we can just redline, you know, so could have a copy of the policy and see exactly what change is being recommended » more than we need to do. Okay. Um because I mean if they’re just simple change like I mean when you say what is it like a punctuation change addition of a comma there’s places where it said parents and now you’d be making it say parent/guardian

21:27 there’s policies where the old version uses children and it’s being changed to student. Um so really not » okay seems like a lot of work. » Okay. » I mean I’m happy to do » that’s fine that piece of the work. » Do you want to do it? Right. » And that goes through. Is that that what this whole document is? » I asked her to print the three different tabs. So I don’t » So there’s there’s 30, I guess. All right. Hold on. Let me

23:13 I was going to ask you if I could have done that.

23:30 Um, I have no idea. Maybe I screwed it up. I have no idea. Let me see if Stephen can help me get into my laptop. I have my I know you have to. Here’s my Here’s my noted on my face. So, when I do it probably I might have ch I have no idea. Maybe I changed it. I’ve tried my » Okay. » And my email address. » Okay. You do it to from here or from » um

24:12 » second. Yeah, that password. I think it has changed. » Oh, can you see it? » No, because it’s the same one that does the Zoom meetings. » I tried that which is here. Try it again. This one right here. Let me double check. Try both of them.

24:51 I mustn’t have um did an S instead of a dollar. Looks like Okay. So that Zoom and the laptop are the same. » Yeah. » Got it. Okay. Thank you. » Appreciate. All right. So, did you you emailed it to me? » I can share. It’s a Google spreadsheet. So if I share it with you Google so in your email you should get a notification that I shared a document with you.

26:02 » okay. » okay. » Okay. Um, so if you look on the bottom, there’s four tabs. » Okay. So, » master list every policy we have. » Yeah. » My internet sub. » Wait, master list is every policy. » I just made a list of every policy that we had in our policy manual. Okay. So, um, and then minor edits and you can see in column H, those are the ones I’ve looked at and my notes of what » and there were some that the MESC bulletin called a minor edit that I moved off of this page and on to substantive edits either because I

26:47 thought they were edits that merited discussion before we moved forward with them » or because there were notable differences between our policy and the MASC policy and so um and then substantive I haven’t done much in the way of looking at the policies. It’s just a list of what they’re recommending changes to. » Okay. So the minor edits most were from 323 which I’m » Yeah. Okay. mostly 323 um and then a handful from » okay » September of that year » and then new policies um so those are

27:32 the ones that their policy newsletters recommend school » which we’ve done some of them » we’ve maybe done some I I don’t think I updated this one okay » you know looking at back at past agendas to see what we had

27:51 looking at 3. Oh, yeah. 323. Yeah. Civil rights. Okay. Okay. So, um I think for the minor edits » um we

28:10 Are you sure we didn’t update somebody? If we did, they did not get nothing. » Nothing’s been posted. Um Um Yeah, we did do several of these, right? We did the reconsideration. We did the um controversial speakers. We did student activity accounts. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to go back and check. Um so I’ll go I can go back and check that based I’ll have to go back against the minutes. I did that with some of them, but I think we did also earlier last year we did some. Um, so maybe the minor ones we can do in one badge. » Yeah, it mean it’s a lot if people are going to actually go through it, but it’s a

28:56 lot, but I think I mean I’ve been redlining the documents as I’ve gone through. So that should make it okay easier for people. You don’t have to compare two documents. you can, you know, just look through and see what, » okay, » the changes are, » okay? » Um, and I’m happy to go ahead and do the ones that » I hadn’t gotten to September yet, but I’m happy to go ahead and do those, » okay, » as well. » Okay. » And then, you know, if you want, we can bring them back to our next policy subcommittee meeting or we could just put them on an agenda. » I don’t think that’s a big deal. » Okay. » Um, and then the subst substitive changes. Did we? » Okay. » So, these will include the ones that we just talked about. » Yeah. » Um and then other others as well. » These we probably need to review. These

29:41 are going to need to get reviewed by John. » Mhm. » Um before we can go forward with them.

29:56 » Yeah. Okay. » So, I don’t know how we want to do that. we want to give it to him in batches. Um that would be up to him.

30:08 » So we probably should one we’re going to um redline all minor changes.

30:22 » Um and then um put on whatever agenda you decide to put it on.

30:29 I’m going to suggest that you give um school committee more than two or three days. I would put it give it to them and then like two weeks later do it as a vote so they come to review. It’s a lot to review. You’re going to go through everyone. » Secondly, we need to send John a list of substantive changes

31:00 Um, and I suggest that we like we’re never going to be able to do this in one meeting. » No. Um, so maybe we So,

31:11 » um, if you look on that page in H, I kind of like broke down, it’s not exact math, but how many policies there were under each. Well, what I’m suggesting is maybe we just ask for like, you know, one meeting we review the A’s and the B’s » and the next meeting we could do the C’s, » G’s and E’s. Then G’s going to be alone. » H and I is a lot. J should be alone and then K. » Yep. » So, it may take us, you know, like six months or so, right? It take us the year. Um, » so we’ll break it out. um um letter.

31:57 Okay. And also it helps to do that because there are different people you may need to bring in » right » based on the letter number letter category because it could be financial, it could be it, it could be teaching and learning, » right? » Um okay. » And then new policies would be ones that are not. So yeah, we probably should also have him review like he has to make sure he can operationalize » right » all these new policies. » Um service animals in the school I don’t know if you want to update this the I I’m in that one. So like or I can go through it too. So some we’ve already adopted.

32:42 » I didn’t check this page against past agendas or minutes. So » yeah. Um » um and I know you did a lot of work in the eyes. » Yeah, IGA we did um we adopted that.

33:04 JICK I thought we also did but I’ll go back and check that but we could just give it to him also for him to review. Um and okay the adoption

33:20 um that in theory could be its own agenda item » meeting » or its own agenda item once it’s done like that I mean because

33:34 11 new policies um because a new policy you don’t have to you know you’re not review comparing it to an old policy you just you know and and John hopefully can speak to it Right. » Um particularly on the technology stuff, you know, um we don’t know. Um yeah, the competency determination that might be want to pull that out. » I think that should maybe be a separate » and the um

34:03 and the uh I forget what the um letter is, but the graduation plan, right?

34:14 That could be both zone. » Okay. » And those have a separate specific deadline. So, um, » from Desi, we’re supposed to have have it in place by then. » All end of the year. So, » okay. All right. So, I can put together an email to John about that. Um, okay. » Okay. What else? » Oh, ILD. » Yes. was also on our agenda, » right? » Um, so we adopted the handbook policy, which I personally believe is not um, well, I don’t know how I don’t I guess I don’t understand if if a parent does not want to consent to all of the surveys and then they don’t sign the handbook

34:59 what that if there’s any repercussions to that. I have been told anecdotally at the high school there are teachers that are requiring it for points that you are deducted points if your parent doesn’t sign the handbook. » Okay. » So I’m not sure how that works. » If you don’t want to consent to that, » right? » So that I mean I think that’s a question for John. » Yeah. Um, so the IL itself I so he’s he he gave us I at least that’s my record show which is the same one that the MASC like that’s what he » but that’s what he’s recommending that we » um which is fine but I just I don’t I’m not sure if it’s actually properly

35:45 operationalized in the book which is not a policy subcommittee responsibility » right » but I think it’s a legit legitimate question, right? Because it’s like a parent may inspect upon request a survey created by a third party before the survey is administered, » but if you’ve already consented like I don’t know like you know. » So my understanding is that what policy is addressing is this federal statute which » you know has certain requirements. » I don’t know if that is around surveys. it it’s specific to surveys that address those eight topics that are listed out. Um, and so I think that whether we’re properly operationalizing it, you know,

36:32 John would have to have to speak to » that statute requires consent if a student is under 18 before » and also requires that you that the district notify parents by email or US mail before administering the survey. give them an opportunity to consent to opt out and or review. » So it says the district will directly notify parents guardians annually at the beginning of the school year and during the school year when surveys are anticipated they shall have the opportunity to opt their child out of the participation and in survey analysis evaluation. » It’s kind of weird. Um you could you could » it is but that’s the way the statute » yeah is set up. So, um, so we just need

37:20 to make sure that, um, one, how do parents not consent? Like, it’s weird, you know, that you’re required to consent. » Um, and then um, yeah, I guess that’s the question. So, how does this operationalize? But I still think we should probably adopt this. » I would agree. I mean, it’s not a significant change, if a change at all, over what our current version of the polic » I thought the current version was um not prior consent. » No, the pol the version that’s in the handbook right now does require » in the handbook, but I don’t think in our policy manual. » No, no, I mean in the policy manual, not in the handbook. Um the version in there right now requires consent.

38:07 » Prior consent. » Okay. Um, and we had discussed at that first meeting in July a version that would not require prior consent and they’re going back to the » consent because that’s what the statute requires.

38:29 » Okay. Um, okay. So, that’s just a quick So, we should um um do we uh request to put this on the agenda? Do we want to wait? I mean for September 4th or » I’m ready to move it forward on the 4th but you know assuming you have an opportunity to have your questions answered. » Y okay. » Well I don’t it it voting for this is not the the how the operational is is separate » a separate issue » but I think he needs to be able to speak to it » for sure. » So we can put that on the agenda for » and then also um how he’s gonna how they um do they actually send the surveys? I have no idea. » I know I’ve gotten emails notifying me that there would be

39:14 a survey and what to do if you wanted to opt out. I don’t remember

39:22 » specifically beyond that, but I do » have a recordction of receiving that kind of a communication last year. » Okay. » Um » All right. So, that would be the fourth. Um we will uh send so you’re going to redline all the minor changes and put on an an agenda for I don’t know when » I’ll try and put them on for the fourth for discussion and then we can vote them then you know » we can vote the update. We don’t have to do a reading unless the members don’t » but I just mean if we I’ll try and have the materials in the folder for the fourth. » Why wouldn’t we vote it? » Well, you said more than two days to review it. » Depending on when you get it in. I mean, if you can get them in, um, yeah, it’s probably it’s late might by tomorrow. Yeah. So, maybe we should just vote him on the » whatever the meeting is after that. » Um, we’re going to send him a list of

40:08 the substantive changes for him to review and give feedback broken out by category. Um, same with new policies. Um, specifically asking him to uh or we will pull out separately IKF’s competency determination and graduation requirements as it own agenda item. again at a future meeting and we will ask the committee to adopt the updated IL um with John to speak to how the operation is. » Okay. » What else is that it? » I think that’s um an ambitious plan. Yeah. » Um yeah. Well, I don’t know um whether we are going to um

40:54 um are we going to try to get then start going through the entire manual or you’re saying your your is inclusive of everything? » My thought was if we » because this isn’t just the bulletin like there’s other I think there are other » there. Okay. I mean we could either do it » I don’t think it was done for years. Yeah. » Yeah. I mean, we could do it that, you know, if we’re doing A and B at our next meeting, we’re looking at the ones that they’re MASC is recommending and you have others in those categories that you think we should be looking at. We could just make it part of that process. It’s a lot. » Okay. Or we just work on getting everything up to date with the M. That’s what we should do and then » and then we can go back and start Yeah. trying to go through, you know, everything because

41:40 » they go back everything was done in 2018. » Yes. » So 18 to say 23. I’m not sure how much was updated in there. » So and so I because I think I mean just in developing this spreadsheet I saw stuff that was like it wasn’t in bullet in one of these bulletins but it doesn’t match MC’s. So I was thinking it would be helpful either in the where right now in the policies there’s the footer that says the 2018 date that they were adopted » either in there or in the index if there’s somewhere that we are noting the date of review you know so if we note that a policy was reviewed in October of 2025 then theoretically that tells a future

42:25 committee any changes MASC recommended before October 2025 the committee has looked at and talked about and if it doesn’t match. » So you mean a review if we’re not changing » even if we’re not changing it that we’re noting that it was reviewed. » Okay.

42:44 » And then certainly noting when we update policies. » Well, we have to right because that would be at the bottom, » right? Exactly. » Um the date would be at the bottom. Um the other thing that is also possible is that um policies may have been updated and they were never actually loaded onto the website which is also quite possible. » Um and there’s no way to I’m not going back and looking at a minutes. There’s no way we can do that. » So no I think if we just refine that process going forward so that that’s happening. The other thing is um I think I had said something if you go back if you look at our website um like the MASC one has where you can click on it’s a hyperlink from the letter to the document we don’t have that you have to toggle back and forth right

43:29 » so um I don’t know » what’s involved in doing that it might be a lot because we have over like 300 policies but it would be nice to have the index and then just the hyperlink » yes I had thought we could create one but If you’d use a hyperlink because the PDFs are all stored in a because of the way they’re in the Google Drive, if you link to the policy, it just takes you to that folder in the drive, it doesn’t take you to the specific PDF, » right? » Um John had talked to Stephen about it and Stephen I think had some ideas that we could try. So, » well, that’s his Yeah. issue. Okay. So, let’s just bring that up to John as well. » Otherwise, somebody’s going to have to actually

44:15 » do this, like load them up, right, and make the money. » I think we should because I think I mean, the other option is we actually do it at MASC, but there’s a cost associated. » Um, » I’m not sure that it’s, you know, necessarily worth it because I don’t they don’t monitor it. They just » you know, so I don’t not sure, but they do it in that form. I think if there’s an solution that they have inhouse and it’s just a matter of accomplishing it, we should, you know, consider that and if that’s » not feasible, then we could discuss whether MASC hosting it makes sense. But » okay, » you know, I do think » making a linkable index will make the policy manual more usable, » much more usable for everyone. » Yeah. The other thing too is that when

45:01 you go to the actual list of the documents, they’re truncated. So, it’s not, you know, like you’d want to be able to see the whole to find the one you’re looking for. » Yeah. » And they sort weirdly sometimes they’re alphabetical and sometimes Yeah. » they’re reverse or I don’t know what’s going on, but » yeah. Yeah. We want to make sure that they’re properly alphabetized, too. So, um Okay, sounds good. » Okay. » Is there anything Do we have any other um outstanding policy? I don’t think so. » I don’t think so. I think everything was the only one from the July meeting that we needed to come back to. So, » um, do we want to select a date for the end of September because I know you were going to be around. » Um, um, yes. um, yes. Um,

45:48 Um, Um, » I can do um, let’s see. Um, that’s a crazy week. Yeah, that’s um that week is out. » Okay. We could do » the first week of October, too. I mean, » well, we could also do because we So, we’re on October 23rd, right? » Right. » Um, we could do September 29th or September 30th. » My calendar went to October. I think either one of those is fine. » You want to do Tuesday the 30th? » Sure. » That is technically we’re still in September. So, policy And on a that’s a Tuesday. I can do any I can do like I can do 8 8:30. » Um I just have school drop off so anything after that. » Want to do 8:30?

46:35 » Fine. Tuesday the 30th at 8:30. » Yep. » Yeah. » Okay. » Great. And then we have the other ones just Oh, you know what I was going to ask you to do? I So go through this. We have October 23rd. » Yes. » Um so the it’s Thanksgiving, right? Um, so do you want to do the 20th, the week before? » That’s fine. We have a school committee meeting that night, which is fine with me as long as it’s » Yeah. Okay. » Um, so Thursday » um I Yeah, I need to do 11. » 11’s good.

47:13 » And then we also have um the same problem in December, right? So, um, I mean, I could do the week before. It’s a little crazy, » but I could do the 18th.

47:31 » That I can do the 18th. » Again, I have to do it like after 10:30, like 11. » 11. And if if that ends up being just too crazy of a time of year, we can always um and then let’s see while we’re at it, let’s do one, two, three, four. So I saw January 22nd. » Yes. » 11

47:59 and then 1 2 3 4 which is no it’s not vacation. So the 26th. » Yes. » February. » Uh March will be away, but I can zoom in. One, two, three, four. The 26th. » Okay.

48:23 is probably is probably school vacation week, » I think. So when’s Patriots Day? » Patriots Day is the 20th. » Yeah. So that’s a holiday. » So do you want to pump it out another » 30th? Yeah

48:43 would be May 28th. That works for me. And then we’re done. There’s an election. I don’t know.

48:53 Um, so should we plan for the third that we’re going to do sections A and B um for the minor edits or » no for the for the substantive efforts edits? Uh, sure. Wait a minute. Hang on. A B.

49:20 we probably could do C. Is that too much? Yeah, we can just do A and B. Okay, there’s only a few in C, but A A and B equals. So we’ll tell John right
