Sorry
about
that
I
have
been
filming
all
day,
I,
don't
know
what
happened,
but
at
least
I'm
here
now
so
I
wanted
to
share
with
you.
The
remote
learning
plan
and
I
wanted
to
sort
of
give
you
a
tour
of
how
to
find
it.
In
case
any
of
your
constituents
were
looking
for
it.
So
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
and
show
you
how
you
could
find
it
on
our
website.
G
Okay,
so
if
you
can
see
this,
this
is
the
Chelsea
Public
Schools
website
and
if
you
go
to
about-
and
you
go
to
the
Kovac
19
response
button,
you
end
up
here
and
then
there's
a
remote
learning
plan,
along
with
all
these
other
great
resources
for
folks.
There's
this
remote
learning
plan
piece,
which
is
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
tonight,
remote
landing
page.
You
can
see
the
main
components
of
our
learning
plan.
G
In
a
little
bit
just
to
make
it
easier
to
see,
there's
a
nice
letter
here,
I'm
here
to
start
it
off
I'm
talking
about
the
work,
that's
gone
behind
it,
the
different
phases
and
sort
of
the
history
and
then
there's
the
plan,
and
we
have
some
guiding
principles
around.
What
is
the
most
important
and
I
think
that
you'll
see
that
this
aligns
very
much
to
our
district
vision
and
to
our
district
values,
equity,
self,
safety
and
well-being
of
students,
maintaining
connections
etc.
And
then
we
talk
about
what
Ramona
learning
is
and
I
think.
G
This
is
one
thing
that
is
interesting.
You
know
and
new
to
all
of
us
is
it's
not
the
same
as
online
learning.
It's
not
the
same
as
taking
a
course
online.
It's
a
little
different
right
so,
and
here
are
the
components
that
we
just
talked
about
that
are
on
the
website
and
then
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
requirements
for
that
and
what
they're.
G
But
we
are
asking
them
to
do
and
this
time
with
our
students
there's
a
different,
different
components
of
this
there's
their
requirements
about
connecting
with
students,
and
you
will
see
that
there
are
14
items
here
about
what
expected
connecting
with
colleagues.
This
is
about
meeting
times
and
collaboration,
and
then
there
are
some
suggestions
as
well,
which
is
about
supporting
TOI
leveraging,
interdisciplinary
supporting
students
and
Families
and
structuring
remote
learning,
and
then
there's
just
this
a
little
bit
of
information
here
about
what
to
do
if
someone
is
sick.
G
B
B
G
A
I
will
say:
I
believe
when
the
Commissioner
wrote
his
face
for
of
remote
learning.
He
wrote
it
with
intent,
knowing
that
we
could
possibly
do
a
hybrid
of
remote
learning
in
the
fall
so
I'm,
assuming
that
will
follow
the
lead
of
our
Commissioner
and
if
they
reissue
another
guideline,
then
we
will
update
our
guideline
and
it
seems
that
every
time
they've
rolled
out
a
remote
learning
plan
for
us,
then
we
tweak
your
remote
learning
plan
that
we
have,
and
we
add
a
little
bit
more
I.
A
H
Have
a
question:
I
have
a
comment.
Miscanthus
looks
incredible.
Thank
you
for
putting
all
that
work.
All
the
work
that
you're
putting
into
this
and
so
I
have
so
I
guess
I
do
have
a
question.
Is
this
for
its
on
the
Chelsea
pay?
This
is
recommended
to
be
read
by
faculty
and
families,
just
to
know
kind
of
how
we
are
treating
remote
learning.
G
B
A
A
E
E
I
know
that
a
lot
is
changing
really
fast,
but
you
know
just
hearing
Kelly
also
like
you
know
how
how
we're
communicating
this
with
families
and
that
you
know
these
subcommittees
essentially
are
placed
for
our
discussion
for
us
to
be
able
to
relate
what
we're
hearing
from
the
community
and
feedback
about
those
plans.
So
I
would
love
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
understand
it
and
I
do
come
in.
You
know
all
of
your
work
and
that's
he's
like
sending
these
things
out
and
I
know.
There's
it's
it's
been
tricky,
needless
to
say,
but.
A
B
G
A
G
So
it
doesn't
close
until
next.
Friday
is
the
deadline.
We're
actually
might
be
this
Friday,
but
we're
giving
ourselves
a
little
wiggle
room
to
chase
them
down.
That
might
not
get
it
in
on
time.
So
by
next
Friday.
We'll
know,
I
don't
have
the
count
for
tonight
to
be
honest,
but
we
I'm
hoping
that
it
will
be
a
good
turnout.
G
B
H
H
E
D
A
A
I
Okay
and
I'll
have
Justin
not
join
in
I'll.
Tell
you
right.
Something
happened.
Something
just
happened
to
my
laptop
connection,
so
I'm
on
my
phone,
which
is
awfully
small
but
I
think
we
can
make
do
here.
Can
you
actually
see
me
talking?
Yeah,
okay,
okay,
all
right!
Well,
you
may
remember
back
in
many.
I
It
seems
like
year
ago,
because
so
many
things
have
happened
since
since
Justin
I
met
with
you
in
January,
30th
I
believe
it
was
and
we
I
think
most
projects
have
definitely
have
been
delayed
because
of
the
school
closures
and
all
the
unexpected
issues
that
have
arisen
relating
to
that.
But
I
was
glad
to
hear
that
the
the
the
School
Committee,
and
particularly
the
subcommittee
I,
was
interested
in
moving
forward
with
the
rules
and
regulations
review.
I
Including
and
then
including
little
bubbles,
you
know
bubble
comments
on
the
side
and
many
of
those
changes.
The
school
committee
seemed
to
be
interested
in
in
in
adopting,
and
then
there
were
a
few
issues
that
you
asked
Justin
and
I
to
go
back
and
revisit
think
through
some
alternative
language,
and
so
the
document
you
have
before
you
is
a
combination
of
the
changes
that
were
reflected
on
January,
30th
and.
J
I
The
next
change,
which
again
was
already
discussed,
was
on
page
three
and
it's
simply
a
you
know:
change
in
reference
to
the
Massachusetts
Department
of
elementary
and
secondary
education.
Now
this
is
not.
This
doesn't
have
the
cross-outs
like
the
prior
version
did
because
I
wanted
to
make
this
more
of
a
final.
You
know
final
document
for
you,
you
know
to
read,
but
you
can
always
look
back
in
the
you
know
the
original
markup
to
see
the
original
language
as
it
existed.
I
Things
simply
happened
to
happen
too
fast
and
and
in
some
circumstances,
and
are
simply
minor
in
others,
and
so
adding
some
qualifying
language
in
this
provision.
The
School
Committee
seemed
to
be
amenable
to
when
we
met
in
January
on
the
next
on
the
next
part
page
five,
the
next
blue
change
again
already
discussed,
was
the
cancellation
of
school
committee
meetings.
I
You
might
remember
that
the
cancellation
language
was
extremely
narrow
and
when,
in
fact,
as
a
practical
matter,
school
committee,
they're
canceled
not
all
the
time,
but
certainly
canceled,
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
including
of
course
weather
resolution
of
a
particular
agenda
item.
It
could
be
you
schedule
a
meeting
and
the
matter
is
resolved
before
the
meeting
ever
takes
place.
I
I
The
the
original
language
required
that
the
School
Committee
as
a
whole
approve
any
delegation
again
I
recommended
this
change,
because
it's
it's
impractical
to
think
that
the
school
committee
is
going
to
approve
every
delegation.
If
the
parent
that
your
person
isn't
available
and
needs
to
delegate,
we
can't
wait
for
the
school
committee
to
do
it
to
to
vote
to
do
that.
So
again,
I
think
it
is
very
important
for
the
functioning
and
the
business
of
the
committee
to
have
flexibility
there.
I
Now
the
the
first
new
change,
new
language
that
you
asked
us
to
work
on
has
to
do
with
actually
not
the
entire
committee,
but
instead
subcommittees.
There
was
some
discussion
around
the
chair
person
who
does
serve
as
an
ex
officio
member
and
whether
that
the
chair
could
sir
to
create
a
quorum
when
there
otherwise
would
be
none
at
the
subcommittee
meeting.
I
The
majority
of
a
subcommittee
shall
constitute
a
quorum
of
the
subcommittee
period.
The
chairperson,
who
generally
serves
as
an
ex
officio
member
of
all
subcommittees,
may
substitute
for
an
absent
subcommittee
member.
If
that
substitution
is
necessary
and
sufficient
to
form
a
quorum.
So
you
know
under
this
language,
if
you
had
a
subcommittee
meeting
scheduled
and
five
people
on
the
committee,
but
only
meaning
that
you
would
need
three
for
a
quorum,
but
only
two
arrived.
I
The
chairperson
was
also
there.
In
that
case,
the
chairperson
could
step
in
as
a
sub
and
therefore
create
the
quorum,
that's
necessary
for
the
subcommittee
to
function
on
that
particular
day.
So
that
that's
something
for
you
to
think
about
again.
That
is
a
policy
change,
but
one
that
you
may
wish
to
to
avail
yourselves
of
any
questions
about
that.
A
quick
question.
H
I
I
Section
20
again
is
a
just,
is
a
change
that
we
already
talked
about.
You
may
remember
that
the
original
or
the
current
language
says
that
there
that
it
will
business
will
be
conducted
in
connection
with
or
in
accordance
with,
the
Robert's
Rules
of
Order.
However,
it
has
an
exception
saying
that
they
will.
You
don't
have
to
have
a
second
to
emotion.
That's
that's
kind
of
elimination,
I'm,
an
essential
part
of
Robert's
Rules,
so
that
was
taken
out.
I
Some
of
you
were
surprised
that
it
was
even
in
the
in
your
rules,
because
you
you,
as
a
matter
of
course,
do
second
emotions
and-
and
we
certainly
recommend
that
you
do
so
the
on
to
the
next
page
new
business
again.
This
was
this
was
discussed
before
it's
in
blue.
It
provides
for
a
means
to
present
new
business
to
the
clerk
it
with
sufficient
time
to
allow
a
proper
posting
of
the
agenda.
I
Some
of
you
may
recall
if
you've
been
on
the
School,
Committee
or
other
public
bodies
for
a
while
that
until
about
ten
years
ago,
maybe
less
than
that
the
Open
Meeting
Law
did
not
require
the
posting
of
an
agenda
in
advance.
You
know,
and-
and
so
why
you
had
to
do-
was
to
post
that
you
were
gonna,
have
a
meeting
and
the
public
wouldn't
necessarily
know
what
was
even
going
to
be
discussed
at
that
meeting.
Well,
that
has
changed
significantly
and
school
committees
and
other
public
bodies
are
now
required
to
include
an
anticipated
agenda.
I
The
next
section
is
on
communication.
This
was
again
discussed
and
provides
for
members
of
the
public
to
address
correspondence
to
the
school
committee
and
then
gives
the
chair
the
responsibility
to
determine
the
steps
necessary
to
address
that
correspondence.
Sometimes
it
would
be,
you
know,
referral
to
the
school
administration.
I
Sometimes
it
would
be
referral
to
a
subcommittee
of
the
school
committee
other
times
it
would
be
placement
of
the
matter
on
the
agenda
of
the
full
school
committee,
and
so
again
these
are
they're
reasonable
and
appropriate
options
that
that
should
be
considered
and
gives
a
way
to
handle
correspondence
reconsideration.
This
is
new
language.
You
asked
us
to
work
on.
I
You
might
remember
that
in
the
current
regulations
it
says
that
that
if
a
school
committee
wishes
to
have
a
vote,
that
has
already
taken
place
be
reconsidered,
that
they
have
to
bring
it
to
the
attention
of
the
clerk
within
a
very
short
timeframe,
and
then
there
has
to
be
another
meeting
within
a
very
short
timeframe
in
order
to
make
this
to
reconsideration
again,
it's
a
practical
matter.
The
time
frame
was
so
short
that
it
would
be,
would
have
been
very
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
to
actually
post
a
meeting
properly
under
the
Open
Meeting
Law.
I
F
I
I
B
I
This
provides
that
if
someone
who
was
on
the
prevailing
side
of
the
vote
believes
that
the
matter
should
be
reconsidered,
then
that
individual
can
bring
it
forward
again
for
reconsideration
and
the
way
to
do
that
is
to
get
it
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
meeting,
and
so
how
do
you?
How
do
you
bring
it
to
the
next
meeting?
It's
it's!
It's
new
business
at
this
point
because
you
already
did
it
once
so
now.
This
is
a
new.
Is
this
in
continuation?
This
is
a
new
item
that
that
is
being
raised
again.
I
That
doesn't
make
sense,
but
we
understand
the
concept
that
it
was
closed.
But
now
it's
new
again
and
so
the
the
prevailing
the
member
who
was
on
the
prevailing
side,
can
go
to
the
clerk.
Ask
to
be
put
on
the
the
agenda
for
the
next
meeting
for
reconsideration
and,
of
course,
the
chair
works
with
a
clerk
and
the
superintendent
to
to
allow
for
that
on
the
agenda.
And
again
you
have
to
go
through
a
second
emotion.
I
I
I
I
I
think
that's
fair
to
say,
I
I
would
I
would
look.
I
would
look
at
the
the
second
line
or
the
second
sentence.
I
I
put
this
little
wiggle
room
in
there.
That
says,
as
a
general
rule,
you
know
when
you,
when
you
when
lawyers
say
that
they
mean
that
there
might
be
some
exceptions
from
time
to
time,
but
because
you
know
you
never
know
what's
going
to
happen,
it
could
be
in
this
case,
for
example,
the
budget.
Every
time
you
get
new
information,
you
may
have
to
give
reconsideration
to
the
budget.
I
I
H
I
Would
have
to
be
a
school
committee
meeting
what's
interesting
is
when
we
get
to
the
role
of
subcommittees.
You'll
see
that
subcommittees
really
are
advisory
in
nature,
so
that-
and
you
may
want
to
carve
out
a
few
exceptions
to
that.
But
in
most
cases,
even
under
your
current
rules
subcommittees
are
advisory
in
nature
and
that
would
would
have
to
come
to
the
full
school
committee.
For
you
know,
you
know
a
vote
on
it
on
a
major
issue
for
sure.
Okay,.
I
If
something
really
does
arise
in
those
last
two
days.
You
know
in
that
48
hours
before
the
subcommittee
meeting.
Excuse
me
the
committee
meeting
the
this,
the
School
Committee
can
take
it
up,
even
though
it's
not
on
the
agenda.
But
again
you
really
discourage
that,
because
the
whole
idea
of
posts
and
the
agenda
is
transparency
to
the
public,
and
so
you
can't
like
just
you
know,
count
on
that.
You,
if
you
know
something
two
weeks
in
advance,
you
can't
wait
until
the
day
before
to
bring
it
up
and
think.
A
Just
I
have
a
question,
so
we
didn't
like
have
subcommittees
for
a
while,
so
some
we,
what
we
ended
up
doing,
is
putting
a
lot
of
business
on
the
first
many
meeting
that
we
had
after
we
kind
of
settled
through
the
crisis.
Yeah
everything
was
on
the
agenda
in
advance.
It's
just
some
of
the
skipped
over
subcommittee,
so
I
did
want
to
like
bring
that
out.
We
were
in
a
crisis
situation
and
we
needed
to
have
a
school
committee
meeting
to
like
do,
budget
transfers
real,
quick
and
things,
but
it
was
on
the
agenda.
A
I
Yeah
I
mean
the
School
Committee
I
mean
there's
two
different
questions.
What
can
this?
What
authorities
the
subcommittee
have
and
what
authority
does
now?
What
authority
rests
in
the
full
school
committee?
You
know
in
most
cases
the
actual
authority
for
decision
making.
It
rests
with
the
full
school
committee,
although
I
think
you
know,
the
school
committee
can't
could
delegate
some
items
to
subcommittees
and
that's
something
to
be
thought
about.
Certainly
not
the
budget
can't
can't
delegate
the
voting
of
the
budget
to
the
Finance
Committee,
for
example.
I
C
I
Yeah
I
mean
that's,
that's
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
delegation,
although
these
rules
are
not
written
in
that
manner,
that's
something
you
may
want
to
consider
just
by
by
practice.
That's
what
you've
done
mm-hmm.
You
know
the
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
practicality,
because,
of
course,
it's
hard
to
get.
I
I
Could
I
think
you
could
submit
it
as
an
email,
okay
and
then,
but
then
the
clerk?
You
know
the
clerk
is
a
ministerial
in
nature.
It's
is
the
chair
of
the
subcommittee
and
the
superintendent
who
are
supposed
to
work
together
to
decide
what's
going
to
go
on
the
agenda.
So
it's
not
it's
not
just
automatic
the
again.
If
you
look
over,
let's
see
it
looks
back
on
page.
I
So
you
know
again,
the
clerk
doesn't
have
control
of
the
agenda.
It's
the
chair
and
the
superintendent
who
has
control
of
the
agenda,
but
the
clerk
acts
as
a
conduit
to
gather
the
information
and
make
sure
that
the
chair
and
the
school
and
the
superintendent
has
all
the
information
they
need
to
form
the
agenda.
I
I
That
resolution
to
be
included
in
your
rules
and
regs
section
32
complaints.
This
is
something
we
we
talked
about
before
so
you've
seen
this
language
before
gives
it
gives
the
school
committee
really
a
directive
to
refer
complaints
to
the
superintendent
for
study
and
possible
solution
and
then
leaving
the
school
committee
as
a
for
lack
of
a
better
word
and
a
sort
of
an
appeal
body.
If
there
continues
to
be
a
dissatisfaction
when
that's
appropriate
I
mean
there
are
some
things
that
the
school
committee
cannot
hear
student
discipline
issues.
I
You
know
the
statute
is
very
clear
about
that
most
personnel
issues,
but
it
again
provides
the
flexibility
to
have
matters
heard
by
the
School
Committee.
When
that
that
is
appropriate.
Of
course,
the
one
big
exception
is
in
the
last
sentence,
which
is
if,
if
the
complaint
about
the
superintendent,
then
the
school
committee
chair
has
to
determine
how
to
proceed
with
that.
I
That
might
be
convening
the
entire
school
committee.
It
might
be
asking
or
directing
someone
to
investigate
the
complaint.
Again,
you
have
to
leave
flexibility
because
you
you,
you
never
know,
what's
going
to
come
up
and
there's
got
if
there
needs
to
be
some
way
to
proceed
quickly
and
expeditiously
when
the
complaint
is
of
a
serious
nature.
So
again,
this
is
long
as
we
discussed
before
in
Section
35.
I
You
do
have
standing
subcommittees,
so
it
seems
to
me
that
that
should
be
that
should
be
set
up
in
the
rules
and
regulations
and
I
named
the
ones
here
that
I
understand
you
have
Human
Resources,
Budget
and
Finance
policies
and
procedures,
curriculum
instruction
and
instruction.
So
having
this
list
is.
This
is
just
the
typical
list,
it
doesn't
mean
you
can't
have
you
can't
decide
to
have
other
subcommittees?
It's
just.
I
B
E
I
I
E
So
I
was
trying
to
type
in
the
chat,
and
forgive
me
if
you
already
answered
this
and
to
take
up
more
time,
but
I
know
that
our
process
as
it
stands
right
now
Rebecca.
You
know
we
just
take
a
vote
in
a
subcommittee
for
that
respective
chair
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
as
I
read
that
that
number
three
read
that
the
chair
would
have
points
I
lose
it
yes.
E
I
Number
three:
that's
the
way
your
regulations
already
read,
but
if
you
want
to
change
that,
you
certainly
could
you
could
have
the
school
committee
chair
appoints
the
subcommittee
and
then
the
subcommittee
elects
its
own
chair
that
that's
another
way
of
doing
it.
But,
right
now
your
regulations
say
that
the
school
committee
chair
appoints
each
member
and
the
chairperson,
the
subcommittee
chair
person
with
the
approval,
the
school
committee.
That's
what
it
currently
says.
So
that
may
be
something
you
want
to
change:
okay,
Thank,
You,
Rebecca,.
H
I
And
you
know
I
suppose
it
does
allow
the
chairperson
to
reject
someone's
first
choice,
but
I
would
I
would
think
that
the
school
committee,
chairperson,
would
generally
go
along
with
people's
first
choice.
I
mean
there
might
be
some
reason.
Particular
reason
like
you
needed
someone
on
a
particular
committee,
even
though
their
interest
lies
in
another
place.
I
You
know
you
could
so
I
could
see
something
like
that
happening,
but
I
think
it
certainly
allows
for
people
to
express
their
interest
and
in
most
cases
because
people
tend
to
you
know,
invest
more
in
things
they're
interested
in
that's
probably
the
way
to
go,
but
I
think
it
does.
Has
some
flexibility
again.
I
H
E
There
was
there's
a
couple
things
to
that,
though
all
subcommittees
were
done
in
that
process
is
what
just
back
to
the
original,
pointing
that
as
it
stands,
I
think
it's
something
that
we
as
a
school
committee
should
review
and
sort
of
come
together
and
figure
out.
If
that
should
stay
as
it
is
or
if
that
means
some
changing
right,
yeah
I.
D
So
right
now
I'm,
you
know
basically
that
entire
process
that
we
have
done
and
did
is
not
in
accordance
with
the
rules.
So
I
guess
you
know
as
a
you
know,
so,
I
guess.
If
the
chair
is
there
and
she
approves,
then
it's
I
guess
fine,
because
it
it
will
have
been
appointed
by
the
chairperson.
But
maybe
the
rule
should
actually
just
say
say
that
the
subcommittee
will
vote
on
there
and
on
its
own
chair.
A
So
Rebecca
what
happened
like
tonight,
we
voted
on
the
subcommittee
chair
for
this
scrubb
committee.
Yeah
Kelly
started
it
open
and
then
we
did
a
first
nominations
for
a
second
and
then
whomever
you
know
came
forward
and
then
a
vote
so
each
school
at
the
beginning
of
each
term.
If
you
will
we,
we
switch
over
basically
our
chairs
for
subcommittees
and
that's
the
vote
of
the
subcommittee,
so
we
can
call
it
by
and
the
section
that
would
be
very
easy
to
do
and.
D
B
So
I
wanted
to
add,
because
in
my
experience
as
chair,
I
I've
had
to
appoint
members
because
we
had
years
that
people
didn't
want
to
enjoy
it.
So
at
that
point,
as
chair
I
did
have
to
appoint
somebody.
You
know
when
you're
rewriting
it
would
say.
You
know
that
the
chair
will
still
appoint
someone
if
nobody
is
willing
to
that's.
Do
it
because
I've
been
in
both
positions,
I've
had
to
look
yeah
and
also
I've
had
people
that
are
that
wanted
to
do
it.
Yeah.
H
That's
a
good
catch,
miss
Velez,
I,
even
wonder
even
further
and
Claire,
you
know,
on
what
basis
will
we
be
appointing?
Will
we
be
appointing
the
you
know
the
the
senior
of
the
subcommittee
or
the
you
know
the
first
year
or
you
know
on
what
you
know?
What
basis
are
we
to
appointing
the
chair
of
the
subcommittee.
E
Involve
a
whole
nother
process,
it
sounds
like
in
and
of
itself
I
think
I
think
this.
This
particular
box
is
saying
just
to
clarify
that
maybe
we
add
language
and
Rebekah's.
Obviously
the
expert
here
on
you
know
proposed
language,
but
maybe
it's
like
in
the
absence
of
no
action
by
the
subcommittee
to
select
their
own
chair,
the
school
committee
chair,
/,
the
chairperson
or
the
school
committee
chair.
E
H
I
I
D
A
D
I
Yeah
right,
I
think,
and
there
probably
doesn't
need
to
go
in
the
rules
and
regulations.
That's
I
mean
the
subcommittee's
could
work
out
amongst
themselves.
I
guess
the
division
of
labor
so
to
speak.
I
I
do
agree,
it's
very
to
share
a
meeting
and
take
the
notes.
I
I,
just
even
though
I
know.
That
often
happens,
but
at
least
have
you
know
a
supplemental
note-taker.
So
you
you
make
sure
that
you
have.
I
You
know
an
accurate
record
so
but
I
I
think
that's
something.
That's
the
subcommittee's
could
work
out
amongst
themselves.
So
it's
okay
with
you,
I'm
gonna,
go
ahead
and
add
this
flexibility
for
the
chair
and
then
let
each
subcommittee
figure
out
how
to
you
know
what's
most
effective
for
them,
for
them
is
that
does
that
make
sense,
yeah
all
right
number,
four,
only
members
of
the
School
Committee
serve
as
members
of
subcommittees
all
right,
but
I
wondered.
I
I
So
I
just
I
just
wondered
I.
We
don't
have
to
put
it
in
there
if
you're
going,
but
you
know
it
does
make
sense,
I
think
for
the
superintendent
to
be
there
and
if
you're
just
gonna
go
then,
but
but
but
we
would
not
you're
right.
We
would
never
want
this,
the
superintendent
to
vote.
That
would
make
no
sense
at
all.
No
all
right.
I
So
number
five
is
again
about
the
school
committee
chair
attending
meetings
and
and-
and
this
specifically
says
in
the
second
sentence,
as
an
ex
officio
member,
the
chairperson
may
not
vote
unless
necessary
to
break
a
tie
of
a
quorum
or
number
two
serving
as
a
substitute
in
order
to
make
the
quorum
so
I
reflect.
It
goes
back
to
the
quorum
language
back
in
Section,
17.
I
Okay,
all
right,
that's
that's!
That's
good
done
so
the
next
section
that
has
anything
in
it
is
is
section
37,
because
advisory
committees
to
the
subcommittee
advisory
committees
are
different
than
standing
subcommittees
because
they
they
can
include
both
school
committee
members,
members
of
the
community.
You
know
a
task
force
of
some
kind
and
they're
usually
about
you,
know
a
specific
topic:
we're
gonna,
do
a
study
on
school
start
times
or
we're
gonna.
I
I
I
I
I
They
are
the
language
that
I
hadn't
prepared
for
you
that
we
have
prepared
for
you
and
presented
to
the
whole
school
committee
on
January
30th
and
they
are,
and
so
they've
already
been
discussed
with
the
school
committee
as
a
whole
and
my
impression,
although
there
was
not
a
formal
vote
on
anything
at
that
time,
my
impression
was
the
school
committee
was
amenable
to
those
changes
and
the
green
are
our
pieces
that
the
School
Committee
during
the
January
30th
review
asked
Justin
and
I
to
go
back
and
craft.
Some
language
look
like,
for
example,
reconsideration.
I
I
You
know
practical
ways
for
the
school
committee
to
function
and
I
think
reflect
what
you've
been
doing.
Frankly,
based
on
the
discussion,
because
you
know
you,
these
rules
have
not
been
reviewed
and
it
looks
to
me.
You
know
in
great
detail
for
quite
a
while,
and
the
functioning
of
the
school
committee
has
changed,
and
so
it
makes
I
think
it
makes
sense
for
the
rules
to
match
the
practice
you.
So
you
could
change
the
practice
or
change
the
rules
and
I.
You
know
I
think
it's
working
well,
so
that's
the
basis
I'm.
E
I
D
I
Well,
you
know
I
I
know,
districts
are
doing
that
I
I
I.
Think.
Another
way
to
do
it
is
is
to
you
know
put
so
maybe
yes,
if
he/she
they
are,
you
know
intended
to
be
exclusive,
etc.
My
my
problem,
maybe
it's
just
me
being
the
old
grammarian,
but
when
you
start
putting
a
plural
pronoun
in
legal
language,
it
can
get
a
little
confusing
because
you
know
the
reference
were
originally
designed
for.
I
C
E
I
Just
for
you
know
the
last
month,
or
so
with
providing
questions
and
answers
that
have
come
up.
So
essentially
we
are
just
sharing
it
with
you.
It's
not.
You
know
it's
not
designed
for
a
policy
but
we're
all
again
learning
and
and
struggling
with.
How
do
you
conduct
an
open
meeting
under
the
you
know
the
remote
provisions,
and
so
this
is
some
some
questions
and
answers
that
you
might
find
an
interest.
I
don't
know
Amy.
Did
you
want
to
talk
about
anything
in
particular,
I.
A
Just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everybody
saw
these
because
they
have
been
updated
very
recently
and
my
democracies
and
we're
functioning
in
a
new
and
a
different
way
and
what
I'm
finding
because
I'm
also
sharing
my
screen
and
participating
in
the
meetings
and
then
there's
the
chat
box
and
then
I
get
text
so
I
for
someone
like
me,
who's
answering
questions
too
from
the
School
Committee,
it's
difficult.
If
I'm
now
responsible
to
will
get
chats
check
my
texting
and
then
pay
attention
to
the
questions
in
front
of
me
and
share
screen
and
move
everything
down.
A
C
A
I
Actually
have
a
question:
a
Q
&
A
on
that
very
piece,
because
of
course,
when
you're
sitting
at
a
meeting-
and
you
know
everybody's
watching
you
having
a
using
the
chat
function-
is
like
writing
on
a
piece
of
paper
and
passing
it
to
your
neighbor
and
and
I.
You
know
it
you
and
yet
the
you
know
it's
it's
also
visible
by
a
number
of
other.
I
You
know,
depending
how
you
set
the
platform
up
using
the
chat
means
it
becomes
visible
to
others,
but
not
necessarily
the
public
and
in
an
open
meeting
it's
the
public.
You
really
have
to
worry
about,
because
the
idea
of
the
you
know
open
government.
You
know
the
sunshine
laws
is
we
you
know
call
them.
Is
that
during
open
meetings,
these
the
public
should
be
able
to
observe
and
understand
the
deliberations
and
when
you
start
sending
private,
chats
or
even
paper
notes.
That's
you
know
that
becomes
problematic.
So,
on
page
three,
we
even
I.
I
Even
you
know,
we
even
have
a
Q&A
that
these
would
very
likely
to
be
found
to
violate
the
Open
Meeting
Law
and
in
fact,
the
eternal.
The
Attorney
General's
guidance
on
remote
participation,
specifically
States
and
I,
took
this
out
of
I
took
this
out
of
the
you
know:
AG's,
provisions
on
remote
participation
that
text
messages,
instant
messages,
emails
and
web
chats
chats
without
audio
are
not
acceptable,
means
of
remote
participation
and
that's
right
at
her
her
provision.
I
So
you
know
I
think
you
do
have
to
be
very
cautious
that
you
know
what
what
would
seem
like
a
convenience
can
really
cause
you
some
some
issues.
So
that's
just
one
of
the
pieces
in
here
I've
also
got
a
provision
about
recording
meetings.
You
know
you,
you
can
record
open
meetings.
If
you
want,
you
should
announce
that
you're
doing
so,
but
generally
executive
sessions,
I
will
say,
should
not
be
recorded.
I
Usually
the
and
I'm
on
page
three
again
right
under
the
group
chats
and
that
you
know
III
said
well,
some
executive
sessions
are
not
well-suited
for
recording,
I
might
add.
Most
executive
sessions
are
not
well
suited
for
recording.
You
know,
because
there's
a
confidentiality
issue
that
that,
once
you
have
the
tape,
what
are
you
gonna
do
with
it?
Well,
someone
is
going
to
have
access
to
it
at
some
point,
so
so
it's
just
better
better
not
to
not
to
record
particularly
executive
sessions.
Open
sessions
well
they're
open
anyway.
A
Committee
I
just
subcommittee,
you
want
to
review
our
next
steps
for
this,
so
I'm,
assuming
our
next
steps
would
be
Rebecca.
You
would
send
us
another
draft
and
I,
don't
know
where
does
it
you
want
to
review
it
another
draft,
or
do
we
just
want
to
take
it
to
the
whole?
So
that's
up
to
you
subcommittee.
H
C
E
D
Have
a
question
about
the
process
itself:
I
know
that
we
had
talked
about
this
in
the
last
meeting
under
our
current
rules
and
destiny
that
it
needs
to
sit
for
30
days.
So
I'm
curious.
Is
it
30
days
from
when
it
is
brought
up
to
the
school
committee
to
the
full
school
committee,
or
is
it
30
days
from
today
just
to
make
sure
that
when
we
vote
on
it
we're
actually
in
compliance
yeah.
I
I
F
I
I
That's
why
that's
what
people
object
but
I
think
you
could.
You
know
I
I,
do
not
think
that
presentation
to
the
subcommittee
counts
if
we
had
if
we
had
if
we
had
not
had
that
full
school
committee
meeting
January
30th,
there's
no
question
that
you
would
have
to
look.
You'd
have
to
do
an
initial
presentation
and
then
have
30
days
to
vote,
but
I
think
that
January
30th
meet
could
reasonably
be
counted.
Even
though
there
are
a
new
couple
of
new
sections.
I
Even
those
you
directed
us
that
those
new
section
came
out
of
the
school
committee's
input,
so
I
it's
not
entirely
new.
So
maybe
the
subcommittee
should
just
decide.
You
know
how
much
of
your
rush
are
you
number
one
and
what's
the
reality
of
school
committee
meetings,
it
sure
as
heck
would
be
nice
to
have
this
in
place
for
the
new
school
year.
So
I
don't
know
how
many
meetings
are
gonna
have
over
the
summer.
I
A
You
could
bring
it
to
the
whole
on
the
4th
and
then
on
the
25th.
You
can
vote
to
accept
it,
but
we
also
have
a
description
later
on
tonight
about
two
meetings
in
the
summer,
because
we
don't
know
if
we're
gonna
win,
we're
gonna
receive
our
budget,
the
final
budget
so
we're
putting
in
a
meeting
in
July
and
one
in
August,
just
in
case
placeholders,
so
that
was
gonna
be
a
later
discussion.
C
B
I
B
E
Yeah
I
like
that
which
I
like
that
I
like
that
a
lot
Rebecca
because
it
doesn't
require
you
like
I,
hear
you
on
the
parts
of
like
wanting,
said
the
legal,
the
legal
language
and
where
that
could
get
a
little
tricky
for
clarity
and
I,
really
appreciated
having
something
at
the
beginning,
just
showing
like
intent.
It's
meant
to
be
inclusive
and
that
felt
like
a
good,
medium.
Okay,.
C
I
B
E
I
agree:
I
just
want
entertain
what
miss
Davila
said
on
your
motion
to
accept
the
revisions
and
all
this,
but
I
also
feel
I.
Just
questioned
before
we
say
fall.
I
know
that
I'll
mean
you
want
to
talk,
but
our
beta
wants
to
talk
about
the
dates.
Upcoming
meetings
and
I
also
would
love
to
hear
from
our
chairwoman.
E
If
there's
any,
if
you
have
any
reservations,
as
you
know,
voting
in
the
fall
or
if
this
could
happen
sooner
for
a
discussion
and
also
the
third
potential
would
be
and
I
don't
think
any
of
us
want
that,
but
it
would
be
like
the
need
to
schedule
a
special
meeting
just
to
review
them
and
approve
them
so
I
just
want
to.
Maybe
we
could
pause
and
in
here
dr.
beta's,
you
know
what
the
with
the
schedule
calendar
meetings
look
like
and
if
it
makes
sense,
yeah.
A
I
A
It's
imported
beer
meeting
based
on
if
we
receive
if
we
get
notice
of
what
our
funding
will
be
from
the
state
so
I,
that
is
in
there
as
a
placeholder
right
now.
So
I
wanted
to
just
go
over
that
and
then
everything
else
is
pretty
much
the
norm.
We
have
another
meeting
at
the
end
of
August,
which
we
normally
do
and
and
then
everything
else
follows
the
same
schedule
as
we
have
in
previous
years
with
the
subcommittee
meetings
and
then
the
school
committee
meetings.
H
A
H
E
Just
brought
my
heart,
forgive
me
with
the
background.
Yeah
yeah
I
I
feel
good.
Well,
thank
you
for
providing
this
and
I
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
school
part
in
summertime,
and
all
of
this
I'm
just
wondering
there's
two
things
that
come
up
around
wanting
to
have
some
sensitive
dates.
One
is
you
know,
as
you
mentioned
legislature,
budget
appropriations
that
could
be
coming
and
second
is
with
the
the
changes
around.
E
You
know
a
lot
of
this
virtual
learning
planning
and
the
discussions
that
are
happening
it
you
know
not
to
add
more,
but
it
looks
like
we
would
just
have
two
meetings
before
September.
We
would
have
one
in
July
and
then
attempted
of
one
I'm,
sorry,
the
part
it's
tentative
in
July
and
then
the
next
one
would
be
in
August,
but
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
seeing
any
other
subcommittee
meetings
till
September,
yeah,
correct.
A
Me
if
I'm
wrong,
those
who
have
been
on
the
school
committee
longer
than
I've
been
superintendent,
we
normally
the
the
subcommittees
or
the
school
committee
does
not
me
in
the
month
of
July
at
all.
These
are
placeholders
for
budget
reasons,
and
also
because
of
this
crisis
we
felt
like
if
we
needed
to
get
some
information
or
something
to
vote
on,
then
we
would
do
this
if
there
there
are
really,
in
light
of
everything
going
so
quickly,
because
things
do
change
day
to
day
and
we
may
not
have
opportunities.
A
C
Yeah
we
don't
meet,
we've
had
emergency
school
committee
meetings
because
of
the
budget.
I
think
in
the
past,
in
August,
yeah
superintendent
would
calling
you
say:
I
need
a
an
emergency
school
committee.
That's
the
only
reason
we
would
have
one,
but
I
mean
you
know
it
would
be
up
to
a
me
if
she
needs
us.
E
To
meet
we'll
meet
with
her
yeah
I
think
my
only
my
only
reason
for
asking
this
is
that
you
know
I
know
that
personally,
when
we
discuss
all
these
the
the
first
time
I
was
hearing
about
like
the
grading
policy
that
was
coming
down
the
pipe.
You
know
we
really
very
quickly.
He
talked
about
summer
programming
and
it
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
discussion
and
it
felt
like
in
the
past.
A
My
soul,
to
clarify
normally
we're
not
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
so
that's
right,
we're
not
in
the
middle
of
a
major
crisis
so
and
then
the
grading
policy
and
the
policy
that
we
share
with
you.
We
share
because
we
want
you
to
know
what's
going
on,
but
that
is
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
It's
not
just
school
committee's
purview,
but
we're
sharing
the
information.
So
those
are
not
things
that
would
not.
A
There
are
not
voted
on
school
committee
of
the
whole,
so
cool
so
just
know
that,
because
we
were
in
the
middle
of
a
crisis
and
I
was
trying
to
hold
bulk
of
many
meanings
and
trying
to
hold
subcommittee
means
but
told
not
to
so.
That
was
a
very
unusual
circumstance
that
I
don't
anticipate
happening
again.
I
mean
it
could
but
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
world
pandemic.
So
we
trying
I,
don't
I
mean
we.
We
were
really.
We
followed
our
schedule
to
a
tee
this
year
or
until
March,
and
then
themes
happens.
E
Right
and
I,
and
that's
why
and
I?
Forgive
me
guys,
but
this
is
why
I
keep
bringing
it
out
that,
like
I'm
I'm
only
asking,
because
we
are
still
in
the
middle
of
a
public
health
crisis
that
we
have
those
spaces
there.
You
know
but
understanding.
Also
your
clarification
around
like
what
is
under
the
school
committee's
purview,
of
course,
and
where
that
differentiates
between
you
know
the
superintendent,
your
role
and
the
administration
and
all
that
but
I'm.
E
Just
saying,
I've
want
to
be
clear
that
if
we
agree
to
that
that
you
know
the
folks
understand
you
know
like
this
is
basically
like.
Some
committee
has
like
a
role
of
course
in
decisions
and
that
doesn't
sort
of
touch
school
committee
votes
and
all
of
that,
but
I
I,
guess
that
was
where
I
was
coming
from
that
as
opposed
to
having
those
phases
established.
You
know
those
conversations
didn't.
Oh.
A
A
A
A
soft
very,
very
soft,
reopen
on
June
1st,
and
so
they
are
reopening
the
school
department
personnel,
as
I've
talked
talked
to
the
deputy
city
manager.
Ned
I
did
share
with
him
that
we're
still
will
and
we
won't
come
in
until
they
get
situated
and
we
probably
are
looking
at
end
of
June
and
even
in
that
it'll
be
rotating.
A
E
H
C
A
People
might
be
on
vacation.
That's
why
I
asked
okay.
Thank
you.
It
will
work
for
advantage.
Actually,
I
would
imagine
that
even
maybe
the
August
27
would
be
virtual
as
well,
and
maybe
some
of
our
September
meeting
is
depending
on
you
know,
on
how
things
are,
depending
on
on
how
we
see
things
going.
C
It's
a
good
idea
if
you
have
to
have
vacation
plans
and
you
don't
let
the
chair
know
before
we.
The
next
meetings
come
up.
If
you
have
something
planned,
I
know:
something's
gonna
come
up,
you
know
some
people
say:
oh
I
didn't
get
my
vacation
but
I'm
going
to
take
it
this
week,
but
just
let
the
chairperson
know
when
we're
gonna
have
our
vacations,
so
we
can
plan
meetings.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
one
more
item
on
our
agenda
and
it's
the
school,
the
actual
school
calendar
for
school
year
next
school
year,
twenty
twenty.
Twenty-One
we
had
to
make
it
lunch
of
the
crisis.
We
had
to
make
one
change
and
that
change
was
added
as
Marathon
Monday
for
September
14th,
that's
Norman
your
holiday,
and
so
you
can
see
here
on
September
14th.
We
have
added
Marathon
Monday
of
the
holiday,
and
so
then
what
that
did
with
our
calendars.
A
E
A
What
we've
been
told
the
Department
of
Ed
is
that
it
is
a
local
school
board
decision,
it's
a
local
decision,
and
so,
if,
let's
say
the
recommend
date,
what
they
will
make
a
recommendation
on.
If
anything
is,
if
it's
closed
and
it's
closed,
and
then
we
would
have
to
adjust
our
calendars
accordingly,
if
they
say
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
caution
or
they're
supposed
to
be
giving
us
guidelines,
then
it
could
either
be
remote
or
it
could
be
face
to
face
I.
Don't
anticipate
and
I
I
say
this
very
strongly
that
we
will
have.
A
We
anticipate
because
of
social
distancing
and
safety
that
we
may
have
half
of
the
students
coming
and
those
are
the
things
we
have
to
work
out.
Okay
into
them.
He
will
give
you
information
on
what
that's
going
to
look
like
as
we
get
it
and
what
I
am
still
waiting
for
guidance
from
the
Department
of
Ed
on
what
reopening
our
schools
looks
like.
