Um<00:12:11.520> you<00:12:11.640> know<00:12:11.680> I<00:12:11.760> found<00:12:11.960> a<00:12:12.000> number<00:12:12.560> a<00:12:12.640> number<00:12:13.080> of Um you know I found a number a number of Um you know I found a number a number of districts<00:12:13.680> that<00:12:13.880> had<00:12:14.440> non-voting<00:12:15.600> METCO

12:16 districts that had non-voting METCO districts that had non-voting METCO representatives<00:12:17.560> on<00:12:17.720> their representatives on their representatives on their committees. committees. committees. Um Um Um and<00:12:22.400> then<00:12:22.960> there's<00:12:23.240> actually<00:12:24.120> pending and then there’s actually pending and then there’s actually pending legislation legislation legislation at<00:12:27.080> the<00:12:27.200> State<00:12:27.480> House.<00:12:27.720> I<00:12:27.760> don't<00:12:27.920> know<00:12:28.000> if at the State House. I don’t know if at the State House. I don’t know if it’ll<00:12:28.280> go<00:12:28.440> anywhere,<00:12:28.880> but<00:12:29.480> um<00:12:29.960> that<00:12:30.120> would it’ll go anywhere, but um that would it’ll go anywhere, but um that would provide<00:12:31.760> non-voting<00:12:32.640> CPAC<00:12:33.240> representatives provide non-voting CPAC representatives provide non-voting CPAC representatives on<00:12:34.040> school<00:12:34.280> committees.<00:12:35.000> So<00:12:35.360> it<00:12:35.520> could<00:12:35.680> be on school committees. So it could be on school committees. So it could be that<00:12:35.960> that's<00:12:36.160> something<00:12:36.480> that<00:12:36.600> sort<00:12:36.760> of<00:12:36.920> ends that that’s something that sort of ends that that’s something that sort of ends up up up you<00:12:38.560> know<00:12:38.680> happening<00:12:39.160> through<00:12:39.400> legislation you know happening through legislation you know happening through legislation anyway.<00:12:41.040> Um<00:12:41.880> obviously<00:12:42.960> doesn't<00:12:43.440> prevent<00:12:43.800> us anyway. Um obviously doesn’t prevent us anyway. Um obviously doesn’t prevent us from from from doing<00:12:45.760> it<00:12:45.880> on<00:12:46.040> our<00:12:46.240> own. doing it on our own. doing it on our own. Um what I found interesting as I was sort what I found interesting as I was sort of<00:12:52.080> poking<00:12:52.520> around of poking around of poking around um um um is<00:12:55.200> sort<00:12:55.400> of<00:12:55.520> the<00:12:55.720> tension<00:12:56.280> between is sort of the tension between is sort of the tension between how<00:12:58.400> to<00:12:58.520> find<00:12:58.760> a<00:12:58.800> way<00:12:59.040> to<00:12:59.480> you<00:12:59.600> know how to find a way to you know how to find a way to you know make<00:13:01.200> sure<00:13:01.440> that<00:13:01.600> you're<00:13:01.760> hearing<00:13:02.240> teacher

13:02 make sure that you’re hearing teacher make sure that you’re hearing teacher perspectives<00:13:03.400> or<00:13:03.520> educator<00:13:04.040> perspectives, perspectives or educator perspectives, perspectives or educator perspectives, but<00:13:05.440> also<00:13:05.839> not<00:13:06.240> interfering<00:13:06.920> with<00:13:07.080> the but also not interfering with the but also not interfering with the collective<00:13:07.600> bargaining<00:13:08.000> relationship collective bargaining relationship collective bargaining relationship between<00:13:09.440> the<00:13:09.520> school<00:13:09.839> committee<00:13:10.680> um<00:13:11.240> and<00:13:11.440> the between the school committee um and the between the school committee um and the union. union. union. And<00:13:13.440> so And so And so I<00:13:15.040> found<00:13:15.320> a<00:13:15.400> couple<00:13:15.920> different<00:13:16.640> ideas. I found a couple different ideas. I found a couple different ideas. There’s<00:13:17.640> some<00:13:18.160> districts<00:13:18.720> that<00:13:18.920> have There’s some districts that have There’s some districts that have policies policies policies um<00:13:22.480> which<00:13:22.680> it<00:13:22.800> does<00:13:23.000> not<00:13:23.280> look<00:13:23.480> to<00:13:23.600> me<00:13:23.720> like<00:13:24.040> we um which it does not look to me like we um which it does not look to me like we have<00:13:26.240> um have um have um specifically<00:13:28.240> about<00:13:28.720> staff<00:13:29.040> involvement<00:13:29.640> in specifically about staff involvement in specifically about staff involvement in decision-making decision-making decision-making and and and they<00:13:33.720> so<00:13:33.840> the<00:13:33.960> policies<00:13:34.520> encourage<00:13:35.160> like<00:13:35.320> the they so the policies encourage like the they so the policies encourage like the creation<00:13:35.800> of<00:13:35.920> advisory<00:13:36.440> committees<00:13:37.000> and<00:13:37.120> task creation of advisory committees and task creation of advisory committees and task forces<00:13:38.200> which<00:13:38.400> we<00:13:38.560> sort<00:13:38.800> of<00:13:39.440> it's<00:13:39.640> stuff<00:13:39.800> that forces which we sort of it’s stuff that forces which we sort of it’s stuff that we<00:13:40.080> do. we do. we do. And<00:13:42.920> then And then And then at<00:13:44.520> least<00:13:44.680> some<00:13:44.840> districts<00:13:45.240> have<00:13:45.480> a<00:13:45.560> specific at least some districts have a specific at least some districts have a specific staff<00:13:46.560> involvement<00:13:47.120> in<00:13:47.200> decision-making

13:47 staff involvement in decision-making staff involvement in decision-making policy. Authorizing the superintendent to Authorizing the superintendent to establish<00:13:53.400> committees<00:13:53.840> to<00:13:53.960> recommend establish committees to recommend establish committees to recommend policies<00:13:55.520> and<00:13:55.720> rules. policies and rules. policies and rules. So<00:13:58.160> I<00:13:58.240> found<00:13:58.560> that<00:13:58.680> that<00:13:58.840> was<00:13:59.000> interesting. So I found that that was interesting. So I found that that was interesting. It<00:14:02.040> seems<00:14:02.520> like<00:14:02.720> the<00:14:02.840> most<00:14:03.120> common<00:14:03.480> approach It seems like the most common approach It seems like the most common approach is<00:14:04.120> to<00:14:04.240> go is to go is to go through<00:14:06.440> the<00:14:06.560> superintendent<00:14:07.520> which<00:14:07.680> is<00:14:07.760> sort through the superintendent which is sort through the superintendent which is sort of<00:14:08.080> part<00:14:08.320> of<00:14:08.400> what<00:14:08.520> we<00:14:08.640> discussed<00:14:09.160> at<00:14:09.760> the<00:14:10.160> you of part of what we discussed at the you of part of what we discussed at the you know<00:14:10.360> full<00:14:10.600> committee<00:14:10.960> as<00:14:11.120> we<00:14:11.200> were<00:14:11.280> putting know full committee as we were putting know full committee as we were putting this<00:14:11.720> goal<00:14:11.920> together<00:14:12.320> is<00:14:12.480> how<00:14:12.680> we<00:14:12.800> could<00:14:12.960> do this goal together is how we could do this goal together is how we could do this<00:14:13.320> without<00:14:13.720> interfering<00:14:14.320> in<00:14:14.440> the this without interfering in the this without interfering in the superintendent’s<00:14:16.320> you<00:14:16.440> know<00:14:16.760> important<00:14:17.400> role superintendent’s you know important role superintendent’s you know important role there. there. there. So<00:14:20.440> that<00:14:20.600> would<00:14:20.760> be<00:14:20.920> one<00:14:21.160> idea<00:14:21.640> would<00:14:21.800> be<00:14:21.920> to So that would be one idea would be to So that would be one idea would be to sort<00:14:22.320> of sort of sort of think<00:14:23.600> about<00:14:23.920> some<00:14:24.240> teacher<00:14:24.760> advisory<00:14:25.320> groups think about some teacher advisory groups think about some teacher advisory groups that<00:14:26.000> the<00:14:26.280> so<00:14:26.520> for<00:14:26.680> example<00:14:27.040> New<00:14:27.200> Bedford that the so for example New Bedford that the so for example New Bedford established<00:14:29.320> two<00:14:29.560> of<00:14:29.720> them. established two of them. established two of them. Really<00:14:32.800> just<00:14:33.040> distinguishing<00:14:33.720> they<00:14:33.839> had<00:14:34.520> have

14:34 Really just distinguishing they had have Really just distinguishing they had have one<00:14:35.040> for<00:14:35.200> elementary<00:14:35.720> and<00:14:35.800> middle<00:14:36.000> school<00:14:36.400> and one for elementary and middle school and one for elementary and middle school and then<00:14:36.680> another<00:14:37.040> for<00:14:37.160> high<00:14:37.320> school. then another for high school. then another for high school. And<00:14:39.720> it<00:14:40.160> sort<00:14:40.360> of<00:14:40.520> just<00:14:40.800> provides<00:14:41.240> regular And it sort of just provides regular And it sort of just provides regular opportunities<00:14:42.200> for<00:14:42.360> teachers<00:14:42.920> to<00:14:43.040> meet<00:14:43.240> with opportunities for teachers to meet with opportunities for teachers to meet with the<00:14:43.440> superintendent<00:14:44.240> and<00:14:44.360> discuss<00:14:44.760> district the superintendent and discuss district the superintendent and discuss district decision-making<00:14:46.200> and<00:14:46.320> then<00:14:46.480> the decision-making and then the decision-making and then the superintendent<00:14:47.520> has<00:14:47.760> the<00:14:47.839> responsibility<00:14:48.520> to superintendent has the responsibility to superintendent has the responsibility to bring<00:14:48.960> that<00:14:49.200> input<00:14:50.360> you<00:14:50.480> know<00:14:50.600> to<00:14:50.720> the bring that input you know to the bring that input you know to the committee<00:14:51.200> when<00:14:51.400> there's<00:14:51.720> decisions<00:14:52.600> being committee when there’s decisions being committee when there’s decisions being made. made. made. Um Um Um And<00:14:57.400> then<00:14:57.800> another<00:14:58.160> idea<00:14:58.600> would<00:14:58.800> be And then another idea would be And then another idea would be DESE<00:15:01.720> has<00:15:02.839> this<00:15:03.080> model<00:15:03.640> of DESE has this model of DESE has this model of teacher<00:15:05.280> and<00:15:05.400> principal<00:15:05.880> advisory<00:15:06.680> cabinets. teacher and principal advisory cabinets. teacher and principal advisory cabinets. So<00:15:08.320> you<00:15:08.440> could<00:15:08.640> sort<00:15:08.839> of So you could sort of So you could sort of take<00:15:11.160> that<00:15:11.600> what<00:15:11.760> they<00:15:11.880> do<00:15:12.000> at<00:15:12.120> the<00:15:12.200> state take that what they do at the state take that what they do at the state level<00:15:12.880> and<00:15:13.040> recreate<00:15:13.600> it<00:15:14.240> at<00:15:14.360> the<00:15:14.440> school level and recreate it at the school level and recreate it at the school committee<00:15:15.040> level. committee level. committee level. So<00:15:16.880> you<00:15:16.960> have<00:15:17.120> a<00:15:17.160> more<00:15:17.360> structured<00:15:17.920> body So you have a more structured body So you have a more structured body that’s<00:15:18.560> giving<00:15:19.720> input<00:15:20.160> to<00:15:20.280> the<00:15:20.360> committee

15:21 that’s giving input to the committee that’s giving input to the committee um<00:15:22.000> but<00:15:22.160> doesn't<00:15:22.480> have<00:15:22.960> voting<00:15:23.320> authority. um but doesn’t have voting authority. um but doesn’t have voting authority.

15:54 it could be a way to address some of the it could be a way to address some of the collective<00:15:54.560> bargaining<00:15:55.040> issues<00:15:55.480> around collective bargaining issues around collective bargaining issues around getting<00:15:56.680> teacher<00:15:57.600> input,<00:15:58.160> but<00:15:58.360> I<00:15:58.440> actually getting teacher input, but I actually getting teacher input, but I actually think think think to<00:16:01.280> me,<00:16:02.160> the<00:16:02.360> idea<00:16:02.800> of<00:16:02.920> a<00:16:02.960> superintendent to me, the idea of a superintendent to me, the idea of a superintendent advisory<00:16:04.200> group<00:16:04.520> was<00:16:04.720> the<00:16:04.840> one<00:16:05.120> that<00:16:05.360> really advisory group was the one that really advisory group was the one that really resonated<00:16:07.200> the<00:16:07.280> most<00:16:07.640> with<00:16:07.800> me<00:16:08.280> of,<00:16:08.760> you<00:16:08.840> know, resonated the most with me of, you know, resonated the most with me of, you know, I<00:16:09.040> think<00:16:09.240> that<00:16:09.360> that's<00:16:09.560> a<00:16:09.600> really<00:16:09.880> important I think that that’s a really important I think that that’s a really important role<00:16:12.400> that<00:16:12.680> the<00:16:12.760> superintendent<00:16:13.480> has<00:16:13.840> in<00:16:13.920> the role that the superintendent has in the role that the superintendent has in the district<00:16:15.200> and<00:16:15.320> it's<00:16:15.480> a<00:16:15.600> way<00:16:16.120> to district and it’s a way to district and it’s a way to put<00:16:18.120> a<00:16:18.160> little<00:16:18.360> more<00:16:18.520> structure<00:16:19.240> around put a little more structure around put a little more structure around making<00:16:20.160> sure<00:16:20.440> that<00:16:20.640> we<00:16:20.840> are making sure that we are making sure that we are getting<00:16:22.560> educator<00:16:23.200> input<00:16:23.560> and<00:16:23.680> feedback<00:16:24.120> on getting educator input and feedback on getting educator input and feedback on things,<00:16:24.720> but<00:16:24.839> without<00:16:25.280> the<00:16:25.400> school<00:16:25.720> committee things, but without the school committee things, but without the school committee intruding intruding intruding um<00:16:27.839> in<00:16:27.960> the<00:16:28.080> superintendent's<00:16:28.960> role<00:16:29.280> there. um in the superintendent’s role there. um in the superintendent’s role there.
