[Jenny Graham]: Tout moun akeyi. Men nou ye. Nou te fè li. Li vrèman enteresan. Mèsi tout moun ki te vini. Dapre plan aswè a, nou pati a uit è. Nou pati anvan uit è. Mwen pral chanje ajanda a yon ti kras paske Janelle nan KP Law se isit la òganize yon sesyon fòmasyon legal ouvè. Se konsa, nou sote entwodiksyon an pou kounye a. Kidonk Janelle ka fè yon reyinyon ouvè pandan fòmasyon paske li gen yon rezèvasyon pou dezyèm mwatye reyinyon sa a. Se konsa, mwen te vle asire w ke li te gen ase tan fè li. Men, anvan sa, mwen pral fè yon apèl rapid jis pou pou dosye a, nou konnen ki moun ki isit la. Jenny Graham isit la. Majistra Lungo-Cohen?
[Suzanne Galusi]: isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Doktè Edward Benson?
[Suzanne Galusi]: isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Dr Garrusi?
[Suzanne Galusi]: isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Doktè Cushing?
[Unidentified]: isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Margarida Cabral? isit la. Libby Brown? isit la. Marissa Desmond, Maria Dorsey, Brian Hilliard. Li te absan. Tracy Keane ak Emily Lazzaro te absan. Li gen yon reyinyon konsèy aswè a. Nicole Morrell absan. Li te gen yon konfli anvan. Oke, Arawon ap fè yon fèt isit la. Luke Plissner, Larry Brown, Bob Dickinson. Li pa la aswè a. Fiona Maxwell. Joan Bowen, Thomas Dalton, Chad Fallon pral la, e mwen pa kwè Lori Hodgton, Don McLaughlin, Paul Rousseau ak Felipe Santos pral la aswè a. Li te fè yon reyinyon tou. Donk nou gen kowòm. Nan kèk minit sèlman, ou pral konprann poukisa sa a enpòtan. Men map remèt Janelle li touswit. Men, mwen devine premye bagay mwen pral di se ke tout reyinyon nou yo sijè a Open Meetings Act. Avèk kat ane eksperyans nan endistri reyinyon piblik la, sa se yon fason trè sofistike pou fè travay la. Se konsa, mwen jis pral di sa a se eksperyans pèsonèl mwen. Li egziste pou yon rezon. Sa a se absoliman nesesè, men li mande pou nou tout reflechi ak anpil atansyon sou non sèlman sa nou di ak fè nan reyinyon yo, men pi enpòtan an, ki jan nou konpòte nou deyò nan reyinyon yo, paske Ou ka vyole lwa reyinyon ouvè san ou pa reyalize sa. MSB mande pou nou fè tout reyinyon yo an akò ak Open Meetings Act la. Se poutèt sa, nou panse li enpòtan pou tout moun gen kèk fondasyon nan tout aspè sa yo. Ofisyèl eli yo nan sal la te byen klè abitye ak lwa reyinyon ouvè epi yo te kapab bay konsèy pou nenpòt moun ki te gen kesyon. Mwen jis enskri yo pou sa. Mwen ta di edikatè ki prezan yo ke yo anjeneral kominike avèk komite lekòl yo tout tan. An jeneral, ou pa oblije nan lwa reyinyon ouvè a, men nan sal sa a, sou pwoblèm sa a, ou ye. Se konsa, li se jis sou aliman responsablite ou nan fason sa a. Donk mwen pral remèt li bay Janelle. Janelle, si w ta renmen poze kesyon pandan pwosesis sa a oswa si w ta renmen nou kenbe yo jiskaske w fini, tanpri fè nou konnen.
[Austin]: Sure. Thank you so much. Can everyone hear me OK? Yes. Thank you so much for having me this evening. Happy to present on this very important topic of the open meeting law. I will dive into the public records law a little bit to the extent there's a little bit of overlap. I always think it's a good idea to cover these topics. Certainly, I agree in terms of open meeting law compliance. I represent The city of Medford, other communities across the state, and we are seeing a significant uptick in open meeting law compliance. So certainly a good opportunity to provide best practices talk a little bit in terms of what your role is in terms of open meeting law compliance. And I understand that some. Members may be more familiar than others, so I'll try to start with best practices, and I think that's always a good idea. If there are certainly any questions after the training or along the way, I think we can feel free to interject. I'm an informal person, as many of you know, happy to have this be a conversation. If someone feels more comfortable speaking to me after the training, I'm certainly happy to make myself available as well. And the mayor has my contact information, happy to provide that. I would also start by saying certification is really important. So for any member that hasn't already completed their open meeting law certification. I recommend that be done as soon as possible. The new Attorney General has put forth a new updated open meeting law guide last year that's available on the Division of Open Government's website. I'm happy to circulate the link after this, but in my opinion, if any members are due for their open meeting law certification or for any new members, it's a good idea and certainly required under the open meeting law that that be conducted. We are gonna cover best practices tonight where this is a public meeting. I don't wanna go into any specifics, or anything that may invoke the open meeting law in a non-confidential way. Certainly, if there are any questions, happy to follow up afterwards. I think I have the ability to share my screen, so I wanted to go through the slides that I have. Again, if anyone has any particular questions, happy to either interject, I won't take offense, or go from there. Can everyone see the slides okay? Yeah. Great. So we're here tonight to talk about the Open Meeting Law. I'm going to talk about best practices. I'm going to go through the sort of fundamentals of the Open Meeting Law. We certainly start with the premise that The open meeting law, public records, and conflict of interest law throughout the country are really aimed at government transparency and to eliminate secrecy in terms of the work that you all are doing. So we know that under the open meeting law, public bodies such as yourself that are subject to the open meeting law can generally only conduct public business through their public meetings. unless there's a specific exemption applies called an executive session, which would allow you to have a confidential meeting. And we'll cover that a little bit further in the training. But in essence, the open meeting law regulates the process by which public meetings can be held and conducted. And there are really several components to what the open meeting law requires. So one, what types of meetings are subject to the law? What rules need to be followed to hold a meeting? sufficient to give members of the public notice, and what are the common violations and why? And I think this is always a good idea to cover, again, not to scare anyone or detract from any of the important work that you all are doing, but really just so we're all aware of what the Attorney General's Division of Open Government requires in terms of enforcement, and really to make sure everyone's on the same page with respect to the work and in business of the committee. The open meeting law addresses four major issues, so I want to cover those in detail. And apologies if this is, you know, some information that many of the members may have, but I think it's always a good idea to do a refresher. We know that the open meeting law requires notice. Essentially, it requires that postings be conducted no more than 48 weekday hours prior to the meeting. We know that the notice has to be posted in a location accessible 24 hours a day, including the website, and the meeting has to be held in an accessible location under the ADA. If you are meeting virtually or in a hybrid format, we can talk about that. Certainly, information should be available so members of the public know how to log in at home, and any location that you're meeting in person should be accessible as well. We also know that the meeting notice or the agenda should have detailed subject matter items, so we'll talk a little bit about what that means. But it's a detailed list of topics that you will all review so that a member of the public can look at that meeting notice at home and say, yes, I'd like to attend the meeting because I know these topics are going to be covered or no, I'm going to pass on this one and go to the next one. Really, someone should be able to say, I understand what this meeting is about and I want to attend this meeting based on what's on the meeting notice. We're gonna talk a little bit about the nature of the meeting. As I mentioned at the beginning, there's a presumption under the open meeting law because of government transparency issues for an open session. So the meetings conducted as we're meeting tonight in an open session. So members of the public can see in real time what the public body is doing, the votes that are being conducted and the deliberation. And we'll talk about what that means. of the body's business and the public's being conducted. There are certain pretty narrowly tailored reasons for a closed or an executive session, and we'll talk about the procedures if you do end up meeting in executive session. Conduct of the meeting, this is a hot topic in recent years. Essentially, what rules govern public comment? What are the free speech principles that may apply? who gets to speak and when in remote and hybrid meetings. So we'll cover that. And then the fourth major component of the open meeting law is the meeting minutes themselves. Essentially, the content of the meeting, detailed enough, similar to a meeting notice, to allow someone that wasn't present to know what transpired or what took place at the meeting. The timing for drafting and approving those meeting minutes, essentially for an open meeting within three meetings or 30 days, whichever is later, is a standard that the Attorney General's Division of Open Government established. And we'll talk about the process to do that. Most of the public bodies that I work with usually have them approved at an open meeting of the public body for any meeting minutes, but some decide to designate that task to the chair or to another individual. That's a policy decision, but we can talk about that if anyone has any questions on that as well. So we'll go through the overview essentially 48 hours I can tell you how important that is prior to the date of the meeting so certainly to be cognizant of legal holidays vacation schedules, certainly as the summer months. come up and there's various holidays in play, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, as well as July 4th, something to be aware of as you schedule meetings that it's 48 weekday hours, not including holidays or weekends. The meeting notice should list all the topics with specificity. And regardless of whether the meeting was posted correctly, we know that the open meeting law says that a meeting occurs whenever a quorum of your public body discusses matters within its jurisdiction. So we're going to spend a lot of time on email practices and text message practices because I certainly agree with the statement at the beginning of the meeting that in essence, it's just as important what occurs outside of a public body's meeting under the open meeting law as to what occurs during a meeting. So we're going to talk about pitfalls and some things to be careful of relative to your work. And essentially something that I see all the time and to be careful about is that we know that a quorum can be reached regardless of whether an email goes to the entire public body or whether it goes to several members and then it's forwarded to other members. So we're going to talk about that. We call that serial communications and it's something with the explosion and all of us use technology all the time, it's something to be aware of certainly as you serve relative to the open meeting law to not get into a situation where there's deliberation over email or text message or other social media mechanisms. Subcommittees, I don't know if you intend to create any subcommittees, but certainly wanted to review that as well as we provide an overview. A subcommittee is also subject to the open meeting law. The intent to create a subcommittee essentially is not required, and the Attorney General will look to determine whether or not the subcommittee is within government, empowered to act collectively in serving a public purpose. So generally speaking, unless there's an exception, and we'll talk about that, a subcommittee of your committee is essentially subject to the open meeting law, just as the entire complement would be. You know, there are exceptions to that. If the mayor created a subcommittee to advise just herself, or the superintendent did, where they are not individually subject to the open meeting law, a subcommittee created by them wouldn't be. It's a very fact-specific analysis, so we just want to be really careful with respect to the creation of subcommittees or working groups or task forces to determine whether or not they are subject to the open meeting law. Some practical ways, I try to be practical, as many of you know, to avoid violations of the open meeting law. One person reporting back to the public body doesn't create a subcommittee. And if multiple members are using, you know, doing work on behalf of the public body, you would want to post a meeting and comply with the open meeting law. Any questions so far? Okay, I'll continue on. Some tips to stay out of trouble, and this is all things that I've seen in advising municipalities since 2006 on open meeting law and public records issues. So it certainly comes from experience. If you are attending a meeting of another public bodies, school committees, city council, Another, I'm sure you're all very involved in the city of Medford and the work that the city does. You want to avoid creating the appearance, whether that be at another public bodies meeting or a social event or a community event, that you are discussing matters within this public body's jurisdiction. I've handled open meeting law complaints or issues over the years where there's an allegation, well, I saw a quorum of the public body, you know, in this room at a retirement party. or there was a community event, and I think that they were talking about X, Y, and Z. So certainly you want to avoid the appearance that you are discussing municipal business. To the extent you need to meet jointly with the city council or the school committee or another public body, you can post a joint meeting to be held at the same time and place, and then minutes would be prepared just as they would for any other meeting that you may have. If you're doing a site visit, certainly A best practice may be to send a representative to report back, and then that content is included in the next session's meeting minutes. You don't want to be in a position where there's a site visit at a particular location, for instance, that is not accessible. And then we're going to spend a lot of time tonight on email, but I can't reiterate this enough to try to avoid the use of email or text messages or social media. amongst a quorum of your public body. Locations, you're going to want to file your meeting notice with the city clerk and they're online as well. Some best practices with respect to using your or posting your meeting notice. I would recommend not using acronyms or abbreviations. Really someone that just moved to the city of Medford should be able to pick it up and say, I understand what's going on at this meeting. We all that do work with public bodies and public entities understand terms like MSBCA or MSBA, DEP, DEF DESI, but certainly for the first time you may wanna spell it out just so everyone knows what is being discussed. The meeting notice should indicate the date and time of the posting. And if you do revise it, I don't know what the practice is going to be. You're going to want to include both the date that it was originally drafted and then the revised date as well. And that should be done 48 hours, 48 business hours in advance. Regularly occurring items do need some more detail than just these examples that I've used. What we know from recent determinations from the Division of Open Government is that more detail is better than less detail. So we don't really want to use categories such as new business, old business, or departmental report. We really want to specify, for instance, correspondence and list if there's any notable correspondence or you know, budget analysis and list any particular reports, for instance, that are going to be done. So I would recommend erring on the side of more, not less specificity, which should be helpful to alert members of the public about the exact topics that are going to be discussed. Any questions on any of this? No? Great. Some practical considerations, and this does come up obviously from time to time, scheduling matters or space limitations. Generally, a meeting may not be continued from one night to the next as a matter of course, unless that continuation is posted under the open meeting law. So if you couldn't meet tonight, would have to reschedule this meeting and repost it for the new date and time. And the notice requirement under the open meeting law doesn't substitute or supersede any other notice requirements if you have them under any other legal requirements. So always worth double checking to make sure you're covering any publication notice or anything else that may be required. Emergencies. I can't tell you how many questions I get regarding emergencies, particularly in the winter months with inclement weather. There are very limited instances when a public body can meet without that 48 hours notice that's required. Floor planning doesn't equal an emergency, we know from determinations of the Attorney General's office. So if there was just a mishap with respect to scheduling, and I certainly understand everyone's doing the best they can, You certainly have a lot of schedules to figure out with respect to the public body's business, but generally an emergency is limited to natural disasters, public health matters, and public safety issues. So something to be aware of. We can talk a little bit about if something's unanticipated, that's a little bit different, but hosting is really limited in the emergency context. If you do have an emergency you really need to meet, there's a specific reason why the 48 hours couldn't have been, it couldn't have been posted with the 48 hours. You do want to comply with the open meeting law to the extent you can, and really limit deliberations to just that emergency matter. You're gonna take meeting minutes of that emergency meeting, and then you'd wanna post a follow-up meeting where you basically ratify the action that was taken at the emergency. So let's hope for no emergencies, but just wanted to make sure everyone had that information as well. Conducting meetings. So we're going to move a little bit from the notice piece of this and the agenda piece of the open meeting law to now how those meetings are conducted. These are topics that I often receive a lot of questions about, so I just wanted to make sure everyone had the best practices related to these particular topics of the open meeting law. We know that if the meeting is being recorded, similar to whether it be on Zoom or in person, that there should be a public statement or notification to the public through the technological means that the meeting minute is going to be recorded. And the basis of that is the Massachusetts wiretap statute. We can't secretly record anyone in Massachusetts. If an individual wants to record the meeting on their own, it's not otherwise recorded. So if someone shows up to an in-person meeting, it used to be when I started doing this, it would be the big recording device with a tripod that we had the old VCR tapes for. Now, of course, it's iPhones. The individual must inform the chair of their intent to do the recording, and then the chair would make the required announcement to the public body. members as well as members of the public indicating that the meeting was going to be recorded. In my opinion, the chair can decide to reasonably regulate the recording placement. Obviously, as technology is smaller and smaller, this is less of an issue, but we don't want to block anyone's view, so to speak. And people can be in a position where they're not interrupting or there's no disorderly conduct in the meeting themselves. Any questions on recordings? Nope. Okay, thank you. Email. I would say, I'm going to try to do the math here. 70 to 80% of the open meeting wall complaints that I deal with relate to the use of email, text messages or other social media mechanisms. So I say that again, we all use technology, it's efficient, it's quick, It garners a quick response and certainly I'm sure you all use it in your other lives, professional lives, personal lives, but really the open meeting law does not encourage the use of email or other text messages by members of the public body to conduct their business. Email is explicitly addressed in the open meeting law and it is often the reason I see for a violation to be determined by the Attorney General's office. And what the law requires is that a quorum either collectively so reply all situation. or a group of individuals or one individual forwards it to another who forwards another can constitute an open meeting law violation. So members should really be cautious and a best practice would be not to use email to share ideas, beliefs, opinions, concerns, whether serially or in a single email regarding business. And you can't use another member to, you can't send an email to a non-public body member to then circulate out to the group as well. Some practical approaches, certainly beware to reply all on emails and really limit the use of email to scheduling purposes only and try to avoid using it to undertake business. We should always assume that emails could be forwarded to you know, a local blogger, put on Facebook, sent to the newspaper. I've seen it before. So we really want to be very considerate of the use of email. And this is where there is the overlap with the public records law, because even if you're volunteers, Emails or text messages or social media posts that are made in your official capacity or in relation to your service on this committee really are subject to the public records law as well. And so if you use a Gmail account or a personal cell phone to send an email or a text message, and there is a public records request for that, that certainly would be subject to the public records law, most likely. So just something to be very cognizant of as you begin your service. Is there a question? No, I think we're good. Okay, great. Thank you. Texting and social media, texting and social media, similar, also subject to the open meeting law. Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Reddit, all of those are subject to the public records law and the open meeting law to the extent there is deliberation. If you are a user of social media, certainly in your individual capacity, you have free speech and first amendment considerations. So I'm not going to speak directly to your individual rights, but certainly some practical approaches. If you are posting on your service, you don't want to direct comments to your other members. And if a matter directly involves issues pending, you might want to consider not engaging. Certainly, again, be thoughtful about the comments that are made and consider using separate accounts if you do run for something. Remember that applicants or any individual before you has due process rights, so certainly something to be cognizant of as well. The open meeting law does not mandate, we're going to talk a little bit about the authority of the chair in public comment, does not mandate that any particular person be allowed to speak at a meeting. So that's something we've seen a particular uptick in, both with respect to First Amendment auditors across the state, and also I'll talk a little bit about a case that came out last year that is really important. The open meeting law doesn't require that you even allow public participation or public comment, though I certainly understand that most public bodies do. The open meeting law has made indicates that the chair essentially has the sole discretion as to who may speak and for how long. So comments are directed through the chair, as you know. And while public comment isn't required under the open meeting law, allowing the public to speak during your meeting or restricting any speech other than based on time, place and manner restrictions, and we'll talk about what that means, does have serious constitutional implications. So certainly if you do allow public comment, all of the decisions as to who's going to speak or for how long should be content neutral. So not based on the particular message for a speaker or what that individual says, but just based on the time that's allotted. Some public bodies I work with say 15 minutes of public comment, everyone gets two or three minutes. People are allowed to speak once or twice, depending on how busy the agenda is. And some have adopted public comment policies as well. So certainly something to put out there to all of you to consider. And we'll talk a little bit more about public comment, but the chair does have the authority to regulate it subject to those constitutional restrictions. Public participation, whether or not to allow public participation is a significant policy decision. Here are a couple of factors for all of you to consider. When will the public participation period occur? Is it going to be at the beginning of the meeting? Is it going to be in the middle of the meeting or at the end of the meeting? How long will it be? You know, like I said, 10, 15 minutes is usually what I see, but there are some meetings where warrants particular input from members of the public. And so you all may decide a half an hour or an hour. We just wanna make sure it's equal across the board for anyone that wants to speak. How long will each person be allowed to speak and whether or not each person can speak more than once. So conducting the meeting, policy issues for public comment periods, any rules about public participation must relate to the process for such participation and cannot relate to any speech protected by constitutional principles, any restrictions on an individual's speech. must be narrowly tailored. So again, try to give some practical advice here, items to consider. During a public comment period, you certainly want to avoid a debate to the extent you can. You want to avoid responding before you've had the time or opportunity to discuss it or if the matter is controversial. And it is perfectly fine both under the open meeting law as well as under constitutional considerations to just leave matters raised during public comment unresolved. They're not on the meeting agenda itself. And so it may be something that you decide to put on a future meeting agenda so that members of the public that may be interested in the topic can come to the next meeting and say, okay, this is going to be reviewed. We're going to have an open discussion. We're going to be able to deliberate on it. So some practical items to consider there. Matters not reasonably anticipated by the chair that are going to be discussed by all of you must be added to the agenda after the posting deadline to the extent feasible. And I'll give an example of that. If you are going to designate a staff member or someone else to work on your agenda, you want to make sure that that person understands that it has to be added as soon as possible. And like we had talked about at the beginning with respect to the meeting notice, The updated agenda should show the original date as well as the date that it was changed. Matters not reasonably anticipated by the chair may be discussed and acted upon, but the Attorney General's Office does recommend, unless it requires immediate attention, it really should be put off to a later meeting and included in that meeting posting. So it really is, was this matter so time-sensitive but yet unanticipated that it had to be discussed at this meeting? We updated the meeting agenda and we're going to essentially discuss it, or can we put it off to the next meeting because it isn't time-sensitive and it really could have been anticipated based on the totality of the circumstances. Any questions on any of that? I know it's a lot of content. Anything from any of the members? Looks like we're good so far. Okay, thank you so much. Meeting minutes, I don't know if you've all determined how the meeting minutes will be prepared or created and approved, but wanted to make sure, and I'll make these slides available to anyone that wants them after the meeting. I'll certainly circulate them so you have them as well as some other materials that may be helpful as a little open meeting log guide. The date, time and place of the meeting and members present and absent does need to be included. You know I get this question all the time do we are the meeting minutes a transcript and the answer is no. What we know is it doesn't need to be a verbatim transcript of what transpired. particularly as I would imagine you're gonna have longer meetings from time to time. What the Attorney General's Office has said and what the open meeting law requires is that it has to have a detailed summary of the discussion of each topic so that a member of the public sitting at home that goes to the website and looks at meeting minutes once they're drafted and approved says, okay, I understand what happened at this meeting, right? I understand this was the topic discussed. This is the general nature of the discussion. These were the votes that were taken, here are the next steps. It can't be very cursory, but at the same time, it doesn't need to be a verbatim transcript. We do know that it should have the decisions made, any actions taken, and any votes recorded. You all did proper roll call vote at the beginning. If you are meeting in a remote capacity, you do wanna do a roll call vote, and we'll talk about that in a little bit as well. The meeting minutes should also reference any documents or other exhibits that you use or consider during a meeting. They don't need to be attached to the meeting minutes, but we just want to reference them so that if there is a public records request or a request for those meeting minutes and all materials that you use during the meeting, someone can go back and figure out what was discussed and put the package together to then send to a member of the public. Meeting minutes do need to be approved and drafted in a timely manner. We know that that requires, under the current regulations, that that approval has to transpire within the next three meetings or within 30 days, whichever is later. There are several determinations that talk about, you know, staffing constraints or operational constraints. alone aren't really a good reason for a delay in those approval of the meeting minutes. Certainly things happen. Everyone's busy and people are doing the best they can. My general advice and best practice is to try to stay on top of the drafting and approval of the meeting minutes as best as you can, given your other responsibilities. A question has come up very frequently in the last couple of years, can a public body use Google Docs or another document sharing mechanism to edit the meeting minutes in advance of a meeting to make that a more efficient process? And generally, that is not allowed under the open meeting law because if several members are going into Google Docs and sharing their comments outside of a public meeting, that could constitute a deliberation. Certainly, it can be delegated this task to one individual. It's a matter of policy in terms of how you want to handle it in terms of efficiency. But there are different methods, so if you have any questions on that, feel free to let me know, and I'm happy to walk through it. Meeting minutes are Minutes of open meetings are public records as of the moment of their creation, regardless of whether they've been approved. So draft meeting minutes are subject to the public records law, just as approved meeting minutes are. Certainly personal notes, so if you take, you know, personal notes that are not shared as part of the public body's official files or the school department's files or the city's files, those are personal to you. And I would argue those are exempt under the public records law. But the meeting minutes, even in draft form, would be subject to disclosure. And there is a slightly shorter timeframe for a request for meeting minutes under the open meeting law. It's 10 calendar days. For a public records request response, it's 10 business days. So I just wanted to make sure you had that information as well. Executive session minutes. I don't know how much you all will meet an executive session, but certainly wanted to make sure everyone was aware of what an executive session is and how those meeting minutes differ from open session meeting minutes. The open meeting law allows public bodies to meet an executive or confidential session for specific reasons. Those are all spelled out in Chapter 30A, Section 21, and I have many handouts on this. If anyone wants it, feel free to let me know. Happy to share it with all of you. Basically, if you all meet in executive session, either for litigation or real estate reasons, or there's a particular complaint, those are the most common reasons to go into executive session. There are specific requirements that apply. There must be notice. There need to be roll call votes. And those meeting minutes as opposed to the open session meeting minutes are confidential so long as that executive session purpose applies or there may be another reason to keep them confidential even after they're released under the public records law. Um, essentially executive session meeting minutes can be withheld until that purpose has been met unless they're protected under the public records law. And the most common example of that is. If you were meeting regarding threatened litigation or litigation that you were involved in, I hope that never happens, under Purpose 3 of the Open Meeting Law, and you had counsel advising you at that meeting, the litigation settles, there's no threat of litigation, all of that goes away, but the meeting minutes themselves may be able to be redacted under the attorney-client privilege. So there is a little bit of overlap there with respect to the open meeting law process and the public records process. So just want to make sure everyone knew that. If you do meet an executive session, the open meeting law requires the chair or the chair's designee to review executive session meeting minutes routinely. I usually recommend quarterly just to see, can the meeting minutes be released? Has the purpose expired or not? And so that, to get in the habit of doing that, if you do end up meeting in executive session, I think is very helpful as things progress. Same timeframe in terms of a response, the 10 calendar days as well. Not that you need to release them, but just that a response be provided. Any questions on that so far? We're good. Thank you. I just want to check in every once in a while just to make sure. Executive sessions. If you do meet an executive session, you're going to first convene an open session. This question comes up all the time. Well, we're just having an executive session, Janelle. Like, what do you mean? Well, you have an open session, you start, and then the public sees you vote to go into executive session. That's what the open meeting law requires. You're going to announce the purpose of the executive session without compromising the reason. You know, this comes up more often, I would send you sports for instance, but if you had, if there was a threat of litigation and you didn't want to impact that at all, certainly may decide as a matter of policy, we can't discuss this. So something to be aware of. We're going to take and record a roll call to vote to go into executive session and announce publicly whether or not you're going to return an open session or reconvene at all. Exhibits and documents are going to, again, be stored in reasonable proximity to the minutes so that we understand what the record of the meeting took, what happened at the meeting, what transpired. And really only I can stress this enough discuss the matters that are cited. So, if you do feel as if you have a reason to go into executive session to discuss things secretly and again, they're, they're very narrow for the reasons you can do this. you really only wanna discuss those matters. You don't want the conversation of we are in a different direction that should be discussed in open session because I have dealt with open meeting law complaints alleging that when the minutes are released, everyone can see there was an open discussion of something else. So really be cognizant that you're only talking about what you can talk about in executive session. And again, it's 30A section 21 and the open meeting role guide that I can circulate after this meeting goes through all of that in detail. And there's a very helpful checklist that I have as well that I'm happy to provide to the committee as they conduct, as you all conduct your work. I do get this question quite often, so I wanted to make sure you all knew. If an executive session is anticipated, it does need to be listed in appropriate detail on the meeting notice, again, without compromising your position, and the vote to enter into executive session must also be listed as well. You know, it's often that You have an open meeting and someone will say, well, can we go into executive session now? And the answer is most likely not. The same posting requirements apply unless there's an emergency or unanticipated item. So I wanted to cover, before we go into questions, and I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone has, a little bit of the enforcement process, just so you're all aware of it in case this ever comes up, and I hope it doesn't. You know, step one is if there was an open meeting law complaint that a written complaint be filed, there's a specific form within 30 days that someone found out about the alleged violation. And then from there, the public body would review the complaint, discuss a response and issue a response to the complainant along with any action that was taken. The complainant can essentially be satisfied and not do anything else and say, I'm completely content. with how the committee responded, or alternatively, they can say, I want further review with the Attorney General's Office. And the Attorney General's Office has a specific division, the Division of Open Government, that is charged specifically with enforcement of the open meeting law. There's a director of that division and several attorneys, and they essentially review open meeting law complaints to determine whether or not a violation has occurred. There are a variety of options. If there is a violation that the AG's office has, they can nullify the action that's taken. There are fines that can be imposed for intentional violations. There is also the option to go to court to seek further relief if an individual wants to. And then three registered voters can also bring an action in Superior Court. I think the bottom line here is to really take those best practices and try to employ them to the extent you can. And if there's any questions along the way, better to ask at the beginning than to let it go further than that. Any questions so far? Nope. Nope, I think we're good. Okay, thank you. So I wanted to cover some recent notable court decisions. I've given a long summary here just so everyone has them. I think really the takeaway is the Barron case is a huge case that was recently decided by the SJC, the Supreme Judicial Court, which is the highest state court in the Commonwealth. And that really dealt with public comment periods. And essentially, in summary, the court held that while Municipalities are not required to provide public comments during board and committee meetings. If you are required to do so, they have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. So after this decision in South Borough, and I encourage you to all read it if you're interested, and I have a copy if anyone wants it, in my opinion, care should really be taken that any public comment period, like we talked about a couple of slides back, is limited to these reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions, rather than mandating quote-unquote civility or other content-based restrictions. You know, certainly this was a trend since the court reviewed this Corey Spalding case versus Town of Natick School Committee back in 2018. closely tracked that case and the ACLU was involved in that litigation. That also dealt with public comments during public meetings where there were allegations the committee improperly limited comments made by members of the public, which were critical of the committee, but allowed other individuals to speak. You know, if we look at these cases together, essentially, I think it makes sense to have a public comment policy or consistency across the board with respect to time. But regulation of content is really problematic in light of these decisions. So if there are specific questions of that, as you begin to conduct your business, certainly let me know. I'm happy to analyze that. I've worked on a lot of public comment policies since the Barron decision was decided. So happy to answer any questions that anyone has on that. I think practically speaking, most people do the time restrictions for public comment period and decide where in the meeting they're going to have public comment based on their other business for that meeting. I've included reference to two other cases. The town of Swansea case was about sufficiency of meeting minutes. So I wanted to make sure you all had that as well. And then the Bolter versus Whelan case was really, and I don't know how much this would impact your work, but really dealt with employee evaluation processes. The current state of the open meeting law. So we know that the COVID-19 pandemic era changes are in place until March 31, 2025. They were extended by Governor Healey in a supplemental budget bill that further extended those temporary measures. They were put in place in 2020 and extended several times. I just wanted to alert all of you that there is also significant pending legislation that would either seek to extend this further or make modifications to the open meeting law. I haven't heard it moving quickly at the state level, but certainly we'll keep all of you updated along the way. If there are changes, we would update, certainly update you. But for now, you can meet entirely in person, you can meet entirely remotely, or you can meet in a hybrid format. You know, I think instead of holding meetings in a public place, you can provide adequate alternative means and we'll talk about what that means. Public body members can also participate in members. in meetings remotely as well. The changes are still optional. There are technological considerations. We'll talk about that. But essentially the 2020 changes that were in place remain in effect through at least March 31st, 2025. And I would imagine there'll be further action on those in the next six months. Adequate alternative access, what does that mean? It means that if you are providing, if you are meeting remotely, then you have to provide real-time access. A lag of about 20 seconds or so is deemed acceptable, but if there is a technical problem that prevents the meeting from being accessible, the stream crashes, The meeting should be paused or rescheduled depending on the severity of the technical issue. So there have been multiple determinations that the Attorney General's office has held that continuing a meeting and posting a recording afterwards does not cure a violation if the meeting is fully remote. The public must be able to access the meeting as it happens. And again, this is if there's a remote meeting. If you're meeting entirely in person and you're providing a courtesy link or it's being live streamed as this is on Medford community, then that requirement would not apply in my opinion. Zoom as we're here tonight is the typical means, but it's not required. Any method that allows the public to follow in real time is acceptable in light of the remote meeting requirements. Additional considerations if you are meeting remotely, you have to make a public statement that the meeting is being recorded again under the wiretap requirements. Votes should be taken with a roll call just as we do an executive session. and remote meeting, remote members. So if there are some people in person and there are some people at home, you must introduce yourselves or be introduced at the meeting and the camera should be on to the extent that someone can have their camera on and they're not participating by phone or for medical reasons, they can't participate with their camera on or they've requested an accommodation. When holding an executive session remotely, Members of the public body should state that no other person is present, that no one else can hear them. Again, that goes to the confidential nature of an executive session. And so if we were here tonight, I would say, you know, just so you know, I'm here in a room with the door shut in my office and no one else can hear me. That would be sufficient. Hybrid meetings, many, I would say the majority of public bodies I work with are meeting in a remote or hybrid manner. You can allow your members to meet in person, but members of the public can watch a live stream. And you can also allow direct participants. So if you had a contractor or an engineer, or project manager to attend in person, but the general public could meet remotely. And a member may attend remotely if even if other members attend in person. The bottom line is essentially if live access stops, then the meeting must stop as well. If there is troubleshooting or technical difficulties, you do want to be careful, again, not to deliberate over text or email. If there is an issue with a technical feed, And you can resume the meeting once it's resolved and members of the public are allowed to see the live stream again. Public body must be able to hear and follow the meeting from their remote location. Okay, so that was a little bit of a, I know a lot of information to take in. I'm happy to answer any specific questions that anyone has. As I had mentioned, I'm happy to share both these slides as well as additional resources as a open meeting law training kit with all of you and happy to answer any questions along the way and update you with respect to the legislation on the open meeting law changes that may or may not go into effect by the end of next March.
[Jenny Graham]: Gen yon kesyon pou Janelle? Briyan. Janelle, li ta bon si ou ta voye diapositives sa yo pou nou. Mon ava asire ki sa komite i ganny akse avek zot. Mèsi anpil pou tan ou.
[Austin]: Mèsi tout moun. Mwen pral voye gid enskripsyon reyinyon piblik la, diapositives mwen yo ak kèk lòt materyèl itil, ansanm ak yon rezime desizyon Bayer a, pou tout moun jwenn aksè.
[Jenny Graham]: Ekselan. Mèsi. Mèsi anpil.
[Austin]: Mwen kontan rankontre nou tout. Bon apremidi pou ou. Mwen swete w tout pi bon nan reyinyon k ap vini yo. Mèsi. Mèsi. Mèsi tout moun.
[MCM00000883_SPEAKER_09]: Mèsi.
[Jenny Graham]: Oke, nou jis nan tan. Nou pral tounen nan kèk demonstrasyon. Sa a se yon gwo gwoup. Gen 25 nan nou an total. Nou gen kèk manm ki pa ka la aswè a epi yo fè m konnen davans pou nou ka pale. Men, mwen espere ke nou ka ale nan sal la epi ou ka prezante tèt ou epi pale trè kout sou fason ou wè wòl ou nan komite a epi asire w Si ou gen yon wòl fòmèl nan yon lekòl, tout moun nan sal la vin konnen ou, epi yo ka pa te rankontre ou anvan. Kidonk, Peter, èske ou vle kòmanse? sètènman.
[Unidentified]: Bonswa tout moun. Non mwen se Peter Cushing e mwen se Asistan Sipèentandan Anrichisman, Inovasyon ak Operasyon pou Lekòl Piblik Amerik yo. Restorasyon twati vèt, enstalasyon chodyè a, ak ede redaksyon yon SOI pou yon pwojè ki te kòmanse anviwon de semèn de sa nan West Chester, MA. Se konsa, mwen kontan fè pati ekip sa a epi ede konstwi avni Metro a. Non mwen se John LeBlanc. Mwen se Direktè Bilding ak Lakou. Mwen pral selebre 38 ane k ap travay nan Lekòl Piblik Metro yo. Mwen ap tann li. Mwen te nan laboratwa syans lè nou t ap fè laboratwa syans MSBA nan lekòl segondè. Mwen te travay nan pwogram petwòl nan Medford High School. Lè nou fè sa, se yon lòt pwojè MSBA. Alontèm, mwen espere pote richès eksperyans mwen sou tab la pou ede nou avanse nan nenpòt fason. Bonswa tout moun. Non mwen se Thomas Dalton. Mwen se direktè kominikasyon sòtan pou Depatman Sèvis Imen Metwopoliten an.
[Jenny Graham]: Pous desann.
[Unidentified]: Men, kounye a li nan dispozisyon ou. Mwen se yon pwofesyonèl kominikasyon k ap travay nan gouvènman leta ak lokal. Men, lè m te toujou rete nan vil mwen an, Stoneham, mwen te sèvi tou kòm manm Komite Lekòl Stoneham. Pandan tan sa a nou te kòmanse travay ak MSBA pou ouvri nouvo Stonewall Middle School nan mwa septanm nan. Espesyalman pwosesis MSBA sa a santi m trè abitye. Pandan tan sa a, mwen te sèvi kòm manm komite lekòl la. Mwen sètènman trè eksite pou tout opòtinite nou genyen pou nou travay ak eta a pou rasanble anpil bon opinyon lokal yo. Li vrèman enteresan. Hey mesye. Non mwen se Pablo Russo. Mwen se yon manm komite manm lekòl la. Sa a se setyèm ane mwen. Mwen dwe di mwen enpresyone.
[Tracy Keene]: Bonswa. Non mwen se Tracy Keane. Mwen te viv nan Medford pou 12 ane. Mwen travay pwofesyonèl kòm yon Senior Teyat ak Enstalasyon Manadjè, sipèvize operasyon yo chak jou nan yon kanpis piblik sant atis pèfòmans. Kounye a mwen fè pati yon ekip k ap bati yon nouvo teyat lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la nan Austin. Premye wòch la te jis mwa, semèn de sa. Se konsa, mwen te pote nan kèk operasyon chak jou, enstalasyon ak jesyon resous. Non mwen se Maria Dorsey. Mwen travay kòm bibliyotekè lekòl nan Meade High School.
[Libby Brown]: Mwen te ale lekòl pou 28 ane. Mwen te viv nan Medford pou 43 ane. Mari m se yon rezidan pou tout lavi. Mwen se yon pati nan li, kidonk mwen santi mwen te toujou nan Medford. Mwen t ap travay la lè nou te deplase soti nan ansyen Bibliyotèk Brooks Hobbs nan nouvo Bibliyotèk McGlynn. Dezan apre mwen te deplase nan nouvo Brooks School Library. An 2010, mwen te transfere nan lekòl segondè orijinal mwen, ki te yon gwo chòk pou mwen. Men, lè nou t ap konstwi lòt lekòl, mwen pa t nan komite a, men mwen te fè kèk vizit gide nan lòt bilding yo. Mwen te gade evènman Jack Buckley chak semèn alè ak nan bidjè. Sa a se enkwayab. Mwen te vrèman kaptive pa tout pwosesis la. Mwen wè wòl mwen kòm yon pati fonksyonèl nan bilding nan, ki jan li pral fonksyone pou elèv yo, pwofesè yo, ak itilizasyon espas pèsonèl mwen. Hey mesye. Mwen se Libby Brown. Mwen se yon achitèk. Mwen te viv nan Medford pou prèske 10 ane. Kounye a ke pitit mwen yo nan lekòl la, mwen vrèman eksite ke sa a se yon pwojè k ap vini nan rezilta ak mwen eksitan yo dwe yon pati nan. Mwen travay prensipalman nan edikasyon, prensipalman edikasyon siperyè, men tou nan edikasyon prive primè ak segondè. Mwen pa te gen eksperyans nan MSBA, men nou te travay nan MSCBA, kidonk nou te gen kèk eksperyans nan edikasyon siperyè. Mwen jis panse sa a se yon gwo opòtinite pou Medford. Mwen travay anpil ak edikatè, bibliyotekè, ak moun ki soti nan pwogram nan konsepsyon konseptyèl ak konstriksyon, espesyalman fè yon anpil nan renovasyon etap ak evalyasyon enstalasyon ki egziste deja, kit se antretyen ak renovasyon, demolisyon, tou de, fè li tout nan yon fwa, oswa nenpòt bagay nan mitan. Se konsa, li se yon pwojè enteresan. Mwen kontan la.
[Richard Orlando]: Mwen se Larry Brown, yon nèg regilye nan kèk blòk lwen. Kidonk, mwen pa konnen egzakteman ki kote mwen anfòm nan tout bagay sa yo, men mwen gen anpil eksperyans nan konstriksyon, planifikasyon ak devlopman nan gwo zòn rezidansyèl ak komèsyal yo. Mwen p ap pale de tout bagay sa yo, men si yon moun vle konnen background mwen an, mwen ka pale plis sou li. Men, mwen panse ke enterè mwen se nan konnen ki jan yo ede w sou wout la paske mwen te fè kalite bagay sa yo nan divès nivo, pa espesyalman pou lekòl men pou lòt kalite pwojè. Kòm ou jis vize deyò, gen yon anpil nan faktè nan jwe isit la. Tout bagay sa yo dwe fèt nan lòd. Nou pa ka jis ale nan fen an. Si mwen ka ede ak pwosesis sa a mwen pral kontan fè sa.
[Jenny Graham]: Larry, ou se yon pwofesè retrete tou nan Medford Vocational High School epi ou te travay isit la de tan zan tan.
[Richard Orlando]: Mwen te nan endistri konstriksyon pou apeprè 38 ane. Anpil bagay diferan.
[Jenny Graham]: Se konsa, pa tonbe kout. Li pi bon pou fè sa.
[Richard Orlando]: Arawon?
[Aaron Olapade]: Bonjou tout moun, non mwen se Aaron Orapade. Mwen se yon manm Komite Lekòl Medford la tou. Ou konnen, sa gen kèk ane, mwen te gradye nan Medford High School, klas 2018, epi mwen jis gradye nan BC College nan mwa me ki sot pase a. Anpil nan travay mwen te fè pandan de ane ki sot pase yo se angajman kominote a, sitou angajman jèn yo. Mwen te pran yon ane konje pou m travay pou Boston City Year epi answit mwen te travay kòm pwofesè nan sistèm lekòl Charleston. Mwen te fè anpil travay kominotè tou pandan kolèj. Depi lè sa a, mwen fèk nonmen kòm nouvo Direktè Pwogram Travay Jèn yo pou Vil Malden. Se konsa, mwen travay nan biwo meri a, ap eseye asire ke timoun yo gen opòtinite jwenn travay. Se konsa, si ou gen nenpòt timoun ki enterese, tanpri fè m 'konnen. Mwen eseye jwenn travay yo pandan ete a ak pandan ane lekòl la. Alor mon ti a kontan la. Mwen panse ke anpil nan sa mwen konsantre sou se angajman jèn yo ak asire w ke elèv nou yo ap aktyèlman jwenn sa yo merite. Mwen panse se sa nou la pou fè. Se konsa, mwen eksite pou nou tout.
[Chad Fallon]: Bonjou, Chad Fallon, direktè ansyen karyè ak edikasyon teknik nan lekòl la. Mwen kòmanse uityèm ane mwen an septanm. Sa a sanble ideyal pou mwen paske mwen travay ak yon gwoup moun ki renmen pran apa, rekonstwi, ak konsepsyon bagay sa yo, epi nou gen 15 pwojè isit la, nan ka ou pa t 'konnen. Se konsa, mwen wè sa a kòm yon opòtinite pou elaji pwogram nou an lè nou ajoute twa a kat pwogram adisyonèl nan meni opsyon nou an. Li se gwo yo dwe isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Mwen se Jenny Graham e mwen se prezidan sa a ki gen 20 moun sou 25 moun, donk mèsi pou ou la. Mwen genyen, mwen gen de timoun nan lekòl la. Mwen te panse ou de ta ka rate pwojè sa a anvan li ale viv. Men, mwen gen anpil angajman lakay mwen, kidonk isit la nou ye. Men, mwen vrèman ap tann li. Nan travay mwen an, mwen posede yon konpayi konsiltasyon jesyon. Mwen te travay anpil nan amelyorasyon pwosesis, konsepsyon ak bay edikasyon pou granmoun, ak jesyon pwojè. Se konsa, mwen se yon manadjè pwojè sètifye, pa nan endistri konstriksyon. Men, mwen konnen ki jan yo mennen yon gwo gwoup moun yo reyalize yon objektif. Se pou sa mwen la. Se konsa, anpil nan bagay Janelle t ap pale sou yo se wòl mwen te oblije pran nan kèk minit. Nou pral diskite sou tout bagay sa yo nan tan apwopriye. Men, mwen kontan ke nou tout isit la. Nou toujou gen anpil travay pou nou fè. Nou aktyèlman te fè anpil travay. Mwen kontan di w sa. Se konsa, nou pral pale sou sa imedyatman apre prezantasyon an.
[Richard Orlando]: Luke Preissner se yon papa twa timoun nan sistèm lekòl la. Pi gran timoun nan se nan setyèm ane nan Andrews, sè li toujou nan Roberts, ak frè li toujou nan Roberts. Mwen devine mwen ta dekri tèt mwen kòm yon paran ki enterese ak motive nan amelyore anviwònman lekòl segondè a pou nou ka evite oblije pran desizyon difisil pita. Mwen panse ke petèt mwen konsantre twòp sou bagay sa yo, se poutèt sa mwen fè anpil rechèch. Cool, mwen pa ta di abitye, men mwen konnen travay konplèks sa yo ka dekole epi pran plis tan pase sa yo ta dwe. Se konsa, pwofesyonèl, mwen se yon enjenyè sistèm. Mwen travay nan endistri ayewospasyal epi mwen abitye ak konpleksite ak konsantre sou pwosesis. nan kou mwen kwè Wòl mwen se jis poze kèk kesyon ki pa nòmal. Mon konnen nou annan bokou dimoun isi ki travay direkteman dan lekol oubyen ki annan en lyen pros avek distrik lekol, alor mon kapab regard en problenm spesifik dan en lot perspektiv e donn ou en lavwa. Petèt li te pwodiktif, petèt li te jis yon moso nan espageti ki glise sou miray la. Men, mwen panse ke se wòl mwen isit la, yon wòl deyò men sètènman motive yo pote yon nouvo lekòl segondè nan Medford. Mèsi.
[SPEAKER_06]: Alo, mwen se Fiona Maxwell, Direktè Acha Vil Medford. Mwen kontan wè anpil non. Mwen jis reyalize mwen pa janm wè figi ou. Men, mwen te travay nan biwo acha vil Medford pandan sèt ane, e sa te yon gwo opòtinite. Gen anpil bon bagay k ap pase nan vil Medford, e mwen pa soti nan Medford, donk mwen kontan ak eksite pou tout pwojè k ap fèt yo. Sa a se yon gwo bagay. Mwen soti tou nan yon kominote kote nou bati yon nouvo lekòl presegondè ak lekòl segondè an 2015. Apre sa, mwen plis oswa mwens nan lòt ekstrèm la. Mwen plis nan yon moun ekstansyon, k ap travay pou vil North Reading, men nan yon kapasite diferan. Mwen ka di se yon gwo pwogram, yon gwo sistèm lekòl, pitit fi mwen an se te premye diplome ak pitit gason m 'gradye la. Mwen reyèlman te vle mennen l 'isit la, Medford vo li.
[Breanna Lungo-Koehn]: Breanna Lungo-Koehn, Majistra Medford. Mwen vle remèsye tout moun paske yo te isit la epi remèsye Jenny pou lidèchip li nan tout travay li fè. Mwen gen twa timoun, de nan lekòl piblik ak youn ki ta ka gen yon ane, de oswa twa ane edikasyon. Men, kèlkeswa, mwen vrèman eksite pou kòmanse pwosesis sa a. Alo, mwen se Marissa Desmond.
[SPEAKER_13]: Mwen se yon achitèk. Mwen travay prensipalman nan anviwònman inivèsite, sitou nan edikasyon siperyè, men tou yon ti kras nan edikasyon primè ak segondè. Mwen sitou konsantre sou pwogramasyon an ak premye pati konsepsyon konsèp nan pwojè a, men mwen menm tou mwen swiv anpil soti nan konsèp nan bati. Mwen gen de timoun piti, twa ak senk, kidonk mwen kontan Pral gen yon nouvo lekòl pou yo alavni. Fè pati nan pwosesis la. Anplis de sa, mwen te anseye matematik pou yon ti tan anvan mwen kòmanse etid mwen ak karyè nan achitekti. Se konsa, pote kèk tou. Mwen trè eksite.
[Marta Cabral]: Marta Cabral, Direktè MedStar Chi High School. Mwen te konn se yon pwofesè. Mwen se yon AP tou. Se tou premye wòl dirijan mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen santi mwen gen chans pou m kapab ede konstwi yon nouvo lekòl pou elèv nou yo pandan premye ane mwen isit la, paske yo vrèman merite li. Mwen pa gen eksperyans nan konstriksyon oswa travay konstriksyon tankou nenpòt nan nou genyen. Men, sa mwen ka fè se imajine ki kalite espas elèv nou yo, pwofesè, ak anplwaye nou yo ta bezwen nan Medford High School. Mwen vrèman kontan fè sa paske mwen panse ke nou ka vrèman Avanse ansèyman ak aprantisaj lè w kreye espas pou kolaborasyon ak inovasyon.
[MCM00000883_SPEAKER_09]: Mwen byen kontan la, mèsi. Mwen se Lori Hodgdon. Mwen se direktè lekòl Curtis Stubbs, ki se pwobableman bilding ki pi ansyen an. sètènman. Mwen renmen ansyen achitekti, mwen renmen Curtis Stubbs, men mwen konnen li pa fèt pou etidyan 21yèm syèk la. Se poutèt sa mwen te tèlman eksite pou m te vin yon pwofesè lekòl segondè, yon direktè nan Vermont, yon direktè nan Western Massachusetts, North Shore, epi answit yon lekòl endepandan. Lè m 'te yon etidyan nan Middlebury, Vermont, mwen te toujou nan etap final yo nan yon pwojè bilding, gade sa a rive. Nou tou de te mete bòt ak frè m 'te kapab jwi benefis ki genyen nan bilding nan. Mwen santi mwen toujou nan eta orijinal la. oswa nan fen yon bagay. Mwen panse ke sa vrèman enteresan. Mwen panse ke se pa tout vil ki gen kapasite pou konstwi nouvo bilding lekòl epi reflechi sou lavni an, espesyalman elèv m ap travay avèk yo kounye a, pou bay elèv nou yo aksè a ekite, kapital, ak resous kiltirèl, sa mwen panse ki pral vrèman enpòtan. Mwen renmen sa Jenny te di, kèk ko-lokal, oswa nenpòt moun ki te vini ak li, mwen renmen sa, panse ke elèv aktyèl nou yo aktyèlman pral fè pati nan twal la nan bilding sa a nan lavni. Yo merite li.
[SPEAKER_07]: Alo, non mwen se Jill Bowen. Mwen se Direktè Sèvis Elèv pou Lekòl Piblik Bedford. Mwen se yon rezidan pou tout lavi ak anplwaye. Sa a se 31yèm ane mwen nan Bedford. Mwen te ale nan divès pozisyon kòm pwofesè, lidè ekip evalyasyon, koòdonatè, e kounye a nan pozisyon sa a. Mwen gen tou de timoun ki gradye nan Medford Public Schools. Youn pran chemen kolèj, lòt la pran chemen karyè. Kidonk, mwen vrèman kontan pou m wè vizyon pou nouvo lekòl segondè sa a ak sa li ka pote pou Medford ak elèv nou yo, men tou pou m konstwi sou sa Laurie te di konsènan bay tout elèv nou yo ekite ak aksè.
[Suzanne Galusi]: Bonjou, non mwen se Susan Carucci. Sa a se 27yèm ane mwen. Se konsa, mwen te fèt tou ak leve soti vivan nan twazyèm mwa a nan lekòl la. Mwen pa rete isit la ankò, men mwen te isit la tout karyè mwen. Mwen te kòmanse kòm yon pwofesè, asistan direktè, lidè lekòl, asistan direktè elemantè, e kounye a, asistan direktè nan Depatman Afè Akademik ak Konstriksyon nan Brooks School. Menm jan ak atik Marta a, mwen kontan travay avèk nou tout nan domèn ansèyman lekòl la. Mwen panse ke moun ki te ale nan Maria te pale sou sa. Se konsa, ou konnen, papa m 'te manadjè pwojè pou Buildings K jiska 8. Se konsa, mwen santi mwen te fè eksperyans yon ti kras nan tou de, men mwen te gen chans ase Kòm yon pwofesè nan nouvo lekòl McGlynn nan ane 2001, mwen te renmen gade pwosesis la ap dewoule kòm yon edikatè ak kòm yon pati nan nouvo lekòl la. Se konsa, mwen panse ke wòl enpòtan ke nou tout jwe nan gwo desizyon sa yo ki pral gen enpak sou edikatè nou yo, elèv nou yo, fanmi nou yo, kominote nou yo trè enpòtan pou mwen. Pran sa trè seryezman. Mwen santi mwen privilejye pou m fè pati ekip la e pou m kapab travay ak tout moun.
[Unidentified]: Mèsi. Bonswa, Marissa Parkinson. Mwen te fèt tou nan menm lari a nan Lawrence. Fanmi m ak manman m toujou isit la, nan lari West Medford. Mwen te kòmanse etidye nan Medford. Mwen te kòmanse nan Harvey School. Mwen te pran yon lòt chemen. Mwen te fini nan S. Ray ak Kathy. Mwen se yon Katolik devwe, men ou konnen, mwen te travay nan Johnny's Food Master nan Westlake. Duggar Park se pak lokal mwen an. Ou konnen, mwen renmen lekòl. Mwen renmen timoun yo. Mwen renmen edikasyon. Mwen ap travay nan edikasyon pou 30 ane. Li te trè pè paske mwen te sou 29 ane fin vye granmoun nan epòk la. Sa a se repons pi renmen mwen an. Se konsa, mwen devine mwen dwe fè ajisteman. Men, mwen trè kontan sou sa sa vle di: bati yon nouvo lekòl segondè pou Medford. Mwen konnen lè bilding sa a te bati, li te tankou, ou konnen, pwobableman tankou Taj Mahal la. Se te yon bèl lekòl. Men, ou konnen, 50-plis ane pita, nou bezwen yon bagay nouvo. Mwen panse ke elèv nou yo merite li. Nou gen yon gwo pwogram karyè. Nou gen bèl pwogram akademik, men nan yon bilding trè ansyen. Nou gen yon bèl pwojè Curtis House ki sitiye nan yon etablisman diferan. Nou ofri bèl pwogram edikasyon pou timoun piti ak pwogram preskolè pou anplwaye nou yo isit la. Nou gen chans genyen bagay sa yo nan Medford. Mwen panse ke Medford se yon ti bijou. Gen yon nouvo lekòl segondè prensipal pral fè anpil pou elèv nou yo, kominote nou an ak avni kominote nou an (kominote a an jeneral). Mwen te vle fè pati pwosesis la ak travay ak tout moun la epi ale nan diferan eksperyans mwen yo. Ajoute vwa mwen nan tout vwa ki deja isit la. Pou Majistra ak Konsèy Graham, k ap antre nan panèl 25 moun sa a, gen anpil kandida trè kalifye, tankou yon lòt enjenyè, yon lòt enjenyè, yon lòt achitèk. Men, pou rive jwenn gwoup moun sa a, Gwo moun e mwen tèlman rekonesan. Mwen vle remèsye Luke, ki te kòmanse pwosesis sa a avèk nou de ane de sa e, mwen panse, ou konnen, te rete avèk li e li te rete nan kontwòl. Alor mon tann sa prosesis e mon vreman swete ki nou reste pozitiv e optimis lo sa ki pou arive. Manm Ramjani, mwen mande si ou ta vle pataje enfòmasyon sou filtè avèk yo. Ki sa ou te kenbe ak ki jan enteresan li te. Li pral menm plis enteresan pou rès ekip la gen yon eksperyans menm jan an.
[Jenny Graham]: sètènman. Mèsi tout moun... Mo emosyonèl. Mwen vle fè yon bagay ant kounye a ak 8pm. Mwen pwomèt nou pral ale nan uit è. Men, pou yon chèk rapid, gen de bagay enpòtan. Youn nan se mwen vle ou konprann sa k ap pase. Jiskaprezan ak kote nou ye. Se konsa, mwen pral pale sou sa a yon ti kras. Ann fè yon demonstrasyon rapid pou fè sa. E apre sa avan nou sorti aswar, nou pou form serten soukomite pou nou kapab byen vit fer enpe bann travay ki nou bezwen fer. Nou pral diskite sa pita. Men, Pyè, li t ap bon si w te ka pale m sou diskou sa a. OK Ou ka sote sèten paj. Kwoke la pou yon lòt. isit la nou ale. Nou te kòmanse nan mwa fevriye epi answit nan mwa desanm MSBA te envite nou patisipe nan peryòd kalifikasyon an. Nou pral diskite sou sa peryòd kalifikasyon an vle di nan kèk minit. Men envitasyon an di: Nou envite w patisipe nan pwosesis sa a ki kòmanse 1ye me. Se konsa, ann kòmanse demen. Sepandan, komite a nonmen mwen kòm prezidan sa a nan komite bilding an Fevriye e anpil te fèt jiska prezan. Youn nan bagay nou dwe fè se jwenn yo tout, pa vre? Donk nan kontèks pou nou eseye eksprime sa nou kòm komite lekòl nou vle ke komite bilding sa a fè, nou mete ansanm yon lis objektif. Gen anpil, anpil lòt objektif, men mwen vle poze fondasyon pou sa, Sa nou gen pou nou fè apre. Senk a sèt ane. Premye a se yon plan konplè pou tout pwogram ki kounye a nan kanpis Medford High School, ki gen ladan 9-12 edikasyon pwofesyonèl ak non-pwofesyonèl, 9-12 atletis, Medford Family Network, Medford Community Schools pwogram, edikasyon timoun piti, ki gen ladan men pa limite a Medford Early Education Program (ke nou rele MEAP), ak Children's Corner. Kidonk, gen anpil plis pase nan bilding sa a pase nou imajine nan lekòl segondè. Se konsa, sa a se yon bagay ou tout bezwen kòmanse reflechi sou. Dezyèmman, ki sa sa ye? Èske mwen ka jwenn li? Mèsi. Oh wi, mwen ka pataje glisad yo. Non, non, mwen ka pataje glisad yo. Wi, mwen ka pataje tout glisad yo avèk ou pita. Dezyèm lan se pou konsidere si lokalize Curtis-Tafts High School sou lakou lekòl la Medford pral bay pi gwo opòtinite edikasyon pou elèv Curtis-Tafts. Twazyèmman, asire opinyon piblik solid ak fidbak moun ki konsène yo nan etap enpòtan ki apwopriye pandan tout pwojè a epi respekte direktiv MSBA ak konsèy Medford School Board. Tande edikatè ak administratè yo konsènan pi bon pratik pou elèv Medford yo ak avni pwogram edikasyonèl yo. Sa vle di nou pran swen pwofondman sou fonctionnalités. Donk nou vle konnen si espas sa yo apwopriye pou etidyan ak pwofesè ki nan bilding lan. Sa vrèman enpòtan. Oke, senkyèm, devlope plan pou bilding lan, avanse apwòch la, objektif klima yo ak reyalize tout objektif yo, ak dirije sètifikasyon an nan senkyèm edisyon an reyalize objektif yo nan akò klima Pari a nan 2030 ak 2050 ak ranpli pwosesis konstriksyon an avèk efikasite ak efektivman, asire ke elèv yo ka aprann nan nouvo bilding lan pi vit posib. Lè sa a Sa a se yon travay difisil. Vitès ki pi rapid yo toujou mezire nan ane olye ke mwa. Me dan konteks kreasyon sa komite, pli vit ki mon ti ganny apwente chair, nou ti lans en call for applications, nou ti komans kolekte laplikasyon, e zot tou la. Sepandan, toujou gen anpil travay pou fè nan faz kalifikasyon ke nou kòmanse. Nou pral diskite sa pita. Men, ou ka ale nan pwochen glise a. Trè pòv grafik epi yo pa byen eksplore sou sit la. Men, lè nou ap pale sou tout pwosesis la, nou toujou gen yon lòt sis èdtan nan unboxing. Sou 1ye me, nou pral antre nan peryòd kalifikasyon sa a nan bwat la. Nan chak etap nan pwosesis la, MSBA dwe apwouve nou pou nou satisfè tout kondisyon pou faz sa a. Fòk gen yon konsèy administrasyon ki ka vote pou envite nou nan pwochen etap la. Kidonk, nan nenpòt ki pwen nan pwosesis la, MSBA a te kapab di li pa pare pou avanse pou pi devan. Yo ka di tou: Nou pa renmen sa w ap fè. Yo ta ka di tou, bliye li. Donk travay nou se asire w ke bagay sa yo pa rive. Travay nou se egalite teren an, devlope atravè tablo a, epi avanse pi vit ke posib. Bon, ann bay MSBA yon chans paske nou pral pare pou yo.
[Unidentified]: nou pral wè.
[Jenny Graham]: 但这个资格期限持续 270 天。 因此，到一月份我们必须完成资格阶段。 我将谈谈这个阶段发生的事情。 简而言之，除了资格阶段之外，当我们谈论建立项目团队时，这意味着引入我们所有者的项目经理。 然后我们继续进行可行性研究。 当人们想到我们在这个委员会所做的事情时，他们认为我们现在正在进行可行性研究。 你认为我们正在做决定，我们正在建设吗？ 我们要更新吗？ 我们在哪里建设？ 你在场上吗？ 你在停车场吗？ 这将如何运作？ 我们还没有达到那个程度。 所以告诉你所有的朋友，我们将到达那里并与专业人士合作。 帮助我们对这座大楼需要做的事情进行评估。 然后我们将继续进行方案设计，为项目融资。 这就是我们作为社区投票资助该项目的地方。 我无法强调它的重要性，但在实现这一目标之前我们还有很多工作要做。 当这种情况发生时，我们将进入详细设计。 所以我们把铲子放在地上。 然后，在未来的某个时候，我们将完成该项目。 所以这有点像坚果汤。 我的目标是让我们一步步前进。 我们将采取一切必要措施来满足资格期限。 然后我们将继续前进。 当我们接近下一阶段时，我们将开始讨论如何加快工作速度。 但目前，我们的重点是资格。 如果您可以翻到下一页， 资格流程有自己的图表，您无法查看。 因此，请继续观看下一张幻灯片。 出色地。 所以这个阶段需要做五件事。 一是初步合规认证。 这是一项法律协议，要求该市遵守 MSBA 流程。 该协议已签署并交付给 MSBA。 我们提前一天，我会承认这一点。 谢谢市长和警长。 我们正在路上。 第二，我们必须组建建筑委员会。 你们都在这里。 学校委员会原定于 5 月 1 日开会，但现在是 4 月 30 日。 我们做到了。 该表格将很快发送至 MSBA。 所以我们正在努力，并将很快发货。 显然这是最简单的部分。 这是文书工作。 整个资格阶段涉及大量文书工作，但这是最简单的，我们会做并完成它。 MSBA 必须批准我们的委员会。 我们满足所有要求，因此 MSBA 对我们委员会的成员提出了各种各样的要求。 我们与大家一起满足所有这些要求。 现在让我们深入实际工作。 还有三件事需要发生。 其中之一就是所谓的教育背景。 这是一份示范文件，它要求我们说：今天这座建筑里发生了什么？ 有多少间教室？ 有多少间数学教室？ 有多少临时空间？ 你们的剧院有多大？ 所有这些，对吗？ 这就是为什么他要求你描述这座大楼里目前正在发生的事情。 它还要求您描述您对这座建筑未来的设想。 因此，这就是关于柯蒂斯·塔夫茨的这些对话，这些关于幼儿期的对话变得非常非常重要。 因为在我们的利益申报和资格阶段之间，教育背景将为所有建筑专业人员如何实际完成工作定下基调。 因此，这将确定实现此构建所需的工作范围。 所以在这个过程中现在已经做了很多工作。 自二月份以来，我一直在与管理团队会面。 我们每周见几次面。 他们已经厌倦了我。 他会厌倦我的。 但我们开始做的一件事是：我们可以消除什么？ 这就是为什么该文件在以下方面写得很好： 我们在这座大楼里做什么？ 所有教室都被统计在内。 所有计划均已概述。 就今天发生的事情而言，政府还有更多工作要做，才能准确描述这一点。 另一件显然要复杂得多的事情是谈论我们将来要在这座大楼里做什么。 因此，在这次谈话中，我们再次进行了非常广泛的谈话。 我们一直在利用大脑的战略规划部分来提出重大问题。 我将借用柯蒂斯·塔夫茨一分钟。 我们已经讨论过我们的教育工作者是否认为这是我们应该考虑的事情，答案是肯定的，他们说是的，我们应该考虑一下。 然后我们开始说：“好吧，那会是什么样子？” 要求是。 所以我们开始了这次对话，但这次对话超出了该委员会可以分析的范围，因为它有点涉及学校委员会的职责。 因此，昨晚我提出了一项决议，要求我们的特殊教育和行为健康小组委员会（实际上由卢梭成员担任主席）在非常紧张的时间内举行会议，以收集意见和评论。 关于这个非常有限的话题。 柯蒂斯-塔夫茨大学位于该校区对就读于柯蒂斯-塔夫茨大学的学生的教育成果是否有任何好处？ 昨晚还有另一位梅德福居民发表了讲话。 他在萨默维尔开展了一个非常类似的项目。 他谈到了萨默维尔刚刚发生的这一转变以及它如何导致人口爆炸。 对于那些需要另类环境的学生来说，它改变了游戏规则，让他们可以参加运动队等活动，在我们的例子中，是职业项目。 所以这是一个巨大的机会，但是 我们希望确保社区和委员会有机会思考他们可以贡献的一切并向该委员会提供建议。 昨晚，这一情况已正式传达给特殊教育小组委员会。 他们会见面的。 他们将邀请现任员工、现任学生、校友、 社区成员等，以及来自萨默维尔的 Jack Hevery 进行讨论并解决这个问题，并提出建议，让他们步入正轨并在 6 月中旬回来，这样他们还有很多工作要做，但这将帮助我们了解情况。 我们对这所学校的想象的那一部分的写作。 因为我们可能需要的不仅仅是大楼某处的几间教室。 柯蒂斯·塔夫茨大学的成功部分在于其环境与拥有 1,200 名学生的庞大校园有很大不同。 因此，我们必须仔细考虑如何将其组合在一起，但我们希望小组委员会所做的工作能够回到我们身边并得到传达。 玛塔和查德将参加未来几周即将举行的学校委员会会议，玛塔将谈论她对替代方案的一些想法，以及这一切可能会是什么样子，即使是在短期内。 这是必须纳入的内容。 琼、苏珊娜、保罗和我昨天谈论了幼儿教育。 我们的小学已经人满为患。 我们将不得不在某个时候处理这个问题。 MEEP 曾经在这里举办。 我们将探讨一个案例，该案例表明 MEAP 应该回到这里，这可能是也可能不是我们着陆的地方，但这是我们正在探索的事情，因为现在是时候了。 我们还谈论了很多关于没有接受过学前教育的学生以及他们何时进入我们公立学校的问题。 对于这些学生来说，入学是多么具有挑战性。 我们还讨论诸如等待名单有多大之类的问题？ 有多少来到我们这里的学生从未接触过任何类型的学前环境？ 我们需要什么样的能力来从这座大楼提供更广泛、更全面的幼儿教育项目？ 因为所有这些都必须包含在本文档中。 所以，我们正在努力解决这个问题。 因此，在这些事情发生的同时，到目前为止，在这个教育概况上已经做了很多工作。 我们尚未涉及的教育概况的重要部分是沟通策略。 我稍后会讨论这个问题。 但在教育方面，我们的教育工作者必须做很多工作才能准备这份文件。 我只是想让每个人都知道一切都在进行中。 当我们进入下一次会议时，我们将展示这些文件，以便我们可以开始更广泛地阅读这些文件，寻求建议，并确保我们真正从各个角度考虑我们需要描述的内容。 这就是我认为你们都发挥着非常重要作用的地方： 我认为有必要根据我所知道的或基于我们对艺术项目或职业项目等的愿景，稍微不同地描述我们在这里所做的事情。 这就是我们在教育概况中所处的位置。 柯蒂斯·塔夫茨 (Curtis Tufts) 担任小组委员会成员。 另一个重大的、创新的、不断变化的主题是 MEAP。 MSBA 描述的社区中经常发生延误的原因是，他们必须做出有助于施工过程的非常重要的决定。 我们可以合并两所学校吗？ 这显然有它自己的能量和它自己的一套要求，这使得它很难实现 快点行动吧。 因此，我们试图从大处着眼，因为这是一个独特的机会，可以以非常全面的方式思考该学区的真正需求，同时也可以尽快向前推进。 因此，所有这些工作都正在进行中，并尽快向前推进。 彼得，你可以转到下一张幻灯片吗？ 在专业方面也非常类似，因为我们有一个非常活跃的专业学校，所以我们还有另一个文件需要完成，那就是生存能力的第74章。 第七十四章是专业设置条例的一章吧？ 出色地。 这篇文章正在进行中。 我们必须告诉他们，这是我们的计划。 这是这些程序的功能。 这是我们当前的注册和信息，例如我们的等候名单。 我们还有机会描述这些计划的扩展计划。 查德和彼得将在学校委员会中讨论扩张的潜力。 这是学校委员会的问题，因为扩大的项目需要的不仅仅是一座建筑。 需要设备。 需要工作人员。 因此，学校委员会必须对此进行评估。 因此，该报告将于 5 月 20 日提交给学校委员会，并将有助于第 70 章表格的最终确定。 这个小组也会仔细阅读并做好准备。 本周晚些时候，市长、总监和我将与 MSBA 讨论这一难题，这实际上是城市规划信息。 然后我们可以开始将信息输入到他们所谓的登记研究中。 这有助于确定建筑物的大小。 您可能已经听说过很多关于这座大楼是如何为 4,000 名学生建造的，但现在只有 1,200 名学生。 4000到底是不是这个数字我不知道，但确实数字不一样。 因此，MSBA 在资格阶段要做的事情之一就是，让我们为这么多学生建造一座大楼。 这通常与今天大楼里发生的事情类似。 然而，如果该市计划在开发中的住房方面进行重大扩张，他们会想知道所有这些。 所以他们可以调整建筑物的大小，因为他们不希望我们建造一座立即耗尽容量的建筑物。 他们也不希望我们建造一座永远不会住满的建筑。 好的。 所以，这是那里正在进行的工作的一部分。 第四件事，维修文件。 我们必须填写一份调查问卷，概述我们在整个地区的所有维护实践。 所以这就像：他被重新投入使用了吗？ 你们的团队是如何训练的？ 大约有20个变量。 该文件也处于起草阶段，正在尽快推进。 我们可能会稍后在六月份讨论这个问题。 考虑到我们已完成资格，我们需要做的最后一件事是确定可行性研究的资金，该资金可能在二十五万到二百五十万美元之间。 我们还没有准备好，但我们正在制定计划。 市长和我正在从财务工作组的角度制定该计划，以便能够根据需要尽快核算和管理这笔资金。 对流程有疑问吗？
[Richard Orlando]: Natirèlman li nan nimewo senk, kidonk lè li di manda lokal, sa vle di elektè yo pa vote? Non. Èske ou vle majorite nan finansman an oswa èske sa vle di vil la te deja idantifye finansman konplè? Kòrèk. Y ap ranbouse yon pòsyon, men mwen panse otorizasyon an dwe pou tout kantite lajan an. Moun ki kòrèk la ap di ou ki ranbousman ou pral ye selon sitiyasyon nou an.
[Jenny Graham]: Kòrèk. Konsènan posibilite, finansman sa a dwe kouvri tout depans etid posibilite a, pa tout pwojè a, jis etid posibilite a, ki ekivalan a de a de milyon edmi milyon dola. Vil la pral peye pou tout etid la fezabilite davans. Lè sa a, yon fwa MSBA sètifye pousantaj ranbousman pwojè nou an epi nou gen siksè pandan tout pwosesis la, yo pral ranbouse rapò etid posibilite a nan pwopòsyon ak pousantaj alokasyon yo ba nou. Se konsa, wi, yo pral sèvi ak menm fòmil la epi mande pou yon etid posibilite epi ranbouse vil la. Men, vil la gen pou fè fas ak lajan an. Se konsa, sa ki dwe rive isit la se, Nou gen yon plan finansman pou sa. Oke, nou ta dwe bèl. Donk nou ap fè yon bon travay ak sa, epi li mande yon vòt City Council pou otorize fon sa yo epi mete yo nan yon kote nou ka itilize yo. Men Kòm mwen mansyone, tout bagay sa yo ta dwe fini nan mwa janvye. Chak gen yon dat limit espesifik ki asosye ak li. Mwen ta di yo anpil agresif ke mwen vle fè tout bagay sa yo anvan lekòl kòmanse ane pwochèn. Lè sa posib, mwen ta renmen bagay sa yo fini anvan 30 jen. Se poutèt sa nou kontinye vini ansanm, travay di, ak pouse. Mwen panse ke li enpòtan pou lonje tèt ou. Se konsa, ann detire epi prepare. MSBA gen travay pou fè an tèm de akreditasyon etid pre-kolèj ak tout lòt bagay. Men, mwen espere nou ka ba yo tout sa yo bezwen pou nou ka ale nan pwochen faz la pi vit posib. Gen kesyon sou orè? Briyan. Se konsa, nou gen sèlman 20 minit kite. Pou sa, nou mete yon seri reyinyon soukomite k ap vini yo nan fen ajanda a. Gen de bagay mwen espere ke nou konsidere ak priyorite pandan n ap avanse nan premye faz sa a. Youn nan sa yo se Komite Kominikasyon ak Angajman Kominotè. Mwen ta renmen gen kèk kalite soukomite, pa plis pase sèt manm vòt, men yon gwoup ki enterese ki reyini kòm yon soukomite pou vrèman kapab dekri ak dekri pwosesis angajman kominote nou an. Mwen panse ke nou tout ap wè enkyetid eksprime moun nan kominote a: Èske Medford pral vise sa a? Èske sa ap travay? Èske sa pral rive? Se konsa, ou bezwen fè anpil kontak nan kominote a. Plis nou kòmanse pi bonè, plis n ap reyisi nan fen. Me mon krwar i en konversasyon pli larz akoz dan mon lopinyon nou osi nou annan plizyer board e komite. Anpil nan yo enterese nan pwojè sa a. Kidonk, li nesesè pou nou fè kèk kontak pou nou konprann ki lè ak ki jan yo angaje yo pou nou ka enkòpore li nan plan prensipal lavni. Dezyèm gwoup mwen vle fòme aswè a se Rules and Corporations Committee. Jan Janelle te di, nou bezwen gen kèk règ sou fason sa a fonksyone, espesyalman nan patisipasyon piblik la, men jis jeneralman. Mwen espere ke komite sa a pral limite nan tan. Mwen espere ke ou ka reyini ansanm yon fwa epi pote yon bouyon nan gwoup sa a ak Lè sa a, nou ka adopte règ yo ak jere apati de la. Apre sa, Twazyèm Komite a pa pral rankontre byento, men li pral rankontre, Ou konnen, pral gen yon soukomite finans nan fen mwa Jen an, kidonk li pral yon komite permanent ki pral reyini pandan tout lavi pwojè a epi kontinye. Li enpòtan sonje ke lè lè a rive, kominote a ap gen pou vote. Komite sa a se pa kote pou fè travay sa a. Donk, si nou ap pale de esklizyon dèt ki finalman bezwen pou finanse pwojè a, li pa ta dwe nan komite sa a pou apwouve esklizyon dèt yo. An reyalite, sa pa ka rive isit la. Li dwe rive andeyò gwoup sa a. Se konsa, sa a komite finans, mwen panse ke li nan opinyon ak insight nan bagay sa yo tankou Akizisyon, akizisyon nan men responsab pwojè pwopriyetè nou yo, achitèk nou yo, bagay konsa. Epi tou ede nou konprann ki sa nou bezwen reyalize viabilite? Èske gen lòt depans nou ta dwe konsidere? Kidonk, gen kèk travay finansye pou yo fè, byenke mwen pa atann reyinyon gwoup la rive nan fen mwa me. Se konsa, nou pral pale plis sou Règ Robert yo nan lòd ak tout lòt bagay nan pwochen reyinyon an. Mwen konnen tout moun ap gade m tankou tanpri sispann di sa. Se konsa, mwen devine sa mwen enterese nan se si yon moun te tande sou sijè sa yo epi li te di mwen aktyèlman vle patisipe. Èske w ka rekonèt youn nan soukomite sa yo? Mwen ta tou politès konseye administratè lekòl yo pou yo peye anpil atansyon, jan ou gen travay ou fèt pou ou prepare tèt ou pou rès sa nou sot dekri a. Ou se 100% akeyi. Patisipe, men nou pral bezwen ou ale nan komite lekòl la. Nou bezwen John ak Peter ede nou ak plan antretyen sa yo ak sou sa. Donk, si yon moun enterese nan nenpòt lòt sijè, komite a pa kapab gwo jan li bezwen, men li kapab gwo jan nou panse li bezwen pou kapab fè travay la. Donk mwen mete soukomite sa yo sou kalandriye mwen. Sware sa yo nou pral rankontre antyèman atravè Zoom, jis pou fè bagay yo yon ti kras pi fasil. Chak pral gen yon rezilta trè konkrè yo bay nan pwochen reyinyon an sou 13 me, ki se soumèt yon pwopozisyon bouyon. Èske gen volontè?
[Breanna Lungo-Koehn]: Wi. pou lòt 2. Konbyen yo espesifye? Èske li enpòtan?
[Jenny Graham]: Mwen panse ke li ta ka nenpòt ki kantite moun. Kantite manm ki gen pou vote pa dwe depase sèt. Men, mwen panse si nou te elimine tout anplwaye lekòl la, mwen pa twò enkyete ke nou ta nan yon sitiyasyon konsa. Men, mwen plis enterese nan moun ki fè bagay yo santi yo apwopriye pou travay yo fè a, pou travay yo renmen an. Mèsi. Maria. Kominikasyon. Mèsi. Tracy. estanda. Briyan. kominikasyon. Marisa. Ekselan.
[Libby Brown]: Mwen vle di, mwen te kapab mete de nan la epi wè si sa a ase. Mwen ta konsantre sou kominikasyon oswa finans. OK
[Jenny Graham]: Briyan. Mwen pral mete ou nan finans. Ki jan li son? Sanble byen. OK
[Unidentified]: OK
[Jenny Graham]: Kote Fiona? finans. Èske nou ka aplike tou pou finansman nan men Bob? Ekselan. Wi, wi, absoliman wi. Èske gen lòt moun ki enterese nan komite sa yo?
[Richard Orlando]: Si ou pa ka jwenn ase finansman, mwen pral rele ou. Tout se byen.
[Jenny Graham]: Mwen pral mete ou sou lis la.
[Richard Orlando]: Panse de mwen kòm yon financier.
[Jenny Graham]: Règ ak entegrasyon gen de moun. se vre. Mwen te planifye pou m chita nan tout komite, men sa a se bon bagay pou m fè. Petèt nou ta ka mande Emily Lazzaro pou l chita nan Soukomite Règ ak Enkòporasyon an. Lè sa a, mwen pral konsilte li. Mwen fè Nicole Morel rantre nan Soukomite Kominikasyon an tou. Se konsa, ann pale ak yo. Men, èske nenpòt lòt moun santi fòtman sou sa a? Ki kote ou vle ale?
[Aaron Olapade]: Mwen ka fè kominikasyon.
[Jenny Graham]: Oke, gwo.
[Aaron Olapade]: Bon, mwen te pral di finans, men mwen reyèlman pa gen anpil eksperyans nan domèn sa a.
[Jenny Graham]: Mwen panse ke nou bon. Jan? Non, ou toujou gen travay pou fè. Oh, absoliman. Mwen panse ke pou tout antrenè yo reyèl nan ekip la Anvan nou fouye nan pwoblèm sa a, pral gen yon gwoup travay ki gen pou mete ansanm yon demann pou pwopozisyon pou responsab pwojè pwopriyetè a. Sa a se pa eksperyans mwen. Se pa pou sa mwen la. Se konsa, sou tan, nou pral konte sou tout moun fòme sou-komite diferan. Soti nan yon pèspektiv pèsonèl, sa a se kote mwen panse ke nou ta dwe kòmanse. Èske sa fè sans? Èske nenpòt moun gen nenpòt lòt sijesyon pou yon bagay ki bezwen rive ASAP?
[Richard Orlando]: Mwen gen yon kesyon. sètènman. Ou te mansyone ke Curtis te kapab vin isit la ak tout itilizasyon diferan sa yo pou etablisman an. Ki moun ki ap eksplore opsyon sa yo? Tankou edikasyon kominotè, petèt travay nan yon kolèj kominotè, kou aswè, tankou mwen espere fè nan AGC General Contractors Association ki bay edikasyon pou granmoun. Èske gen moun ki renmen li? Vini ak yon anpil nan opsyon ke ou ta renmen konsidere oswa ki lide ou yo?
[Jenny Graham]: Wi, plis oswa mwens, plis oswa mwens non, men pa byen. Nou poko la. Se konsa, mwen te panse ke li ta ka fè sans pou nou ajoute sa a yon fwa nou jwenn sou ront inisyal la nan Chapit 74. Kidonk, pandan n ap kòmanse li dokiman sa yo, mwen panse li lè pou m di: Ki lòt moun nou dwe fè atansyon?
[Richard Orlando]: Paske tout kalite bagay sa yo gen yon enpak Aksesiblite, pwoksimite, gwosè etablisman an parapò ak lòt enstalasyon, espas depo, pakin, ou konnen.
[Jenny Graham]: Briyan. Wi, mwen panse ke li se yon bon lide. Mwen pral mete l sou lis la. Wi.
[Unidentified]: An reyalite, nou limite pa vil la. Yo ye. Si tout moun nan sal la te di: Bedford Leisure Center ta dwe la.
[Jenny Graham]: Men, lekòl kominotè yo.
[Unidentified]: Wi.
[Richard Orlando]: Briyan. Wi, mwen vle mande, ki moun ki pral bay kèk kalite enfrastrikti dijital pou komite sa a? Se konsa, mwen pral refere a SOI. Gen SOI. Gen etid kap gade Fed.SOI. Ka gen yon seri antye nan lòt dokiman piblik ki pa aktyèlman disponib pou piblik la, men yo ta dwe. Ou konnen, Soukomite Kominikasyon Angajman Kominotè sa a pral responsab: Li posib pou kominike menm bagay la ak anpil moun, ki pi efikasman fè atravè yon sit entènèt (petèt atravè yon depo pataje), ak kominikasyon ekstèn se sètènman posib. Pou egzanp, sou yon pòtal, tankou yon sit entènèt, tankou chak lekòl ki gen pwojè sa yo, ak Lè sa a, yon kalite depo backend kote Sheldon ka gade SOI la. Manm ki sou lis aksè a ka itilize li nenpòt ki lè. sètènman. Tout sa li pran yo se resous. Mwen ka ba ou yon aktyalizasyon.
[Jenny Graham]: Nou genyen sa. Se konsa, nou te resevwa yon URL inik nan men konsèy la, ki se buildingmhs.org. se konsa? Briyan. Se poutèt sa, URL la egziste. Paj sa a egziste. An reyalite, Thomas ap etidye estrikti debaz resous kominote sa a. Rezon ki fè nou ap mande tout moun pou bay yon biyo ak yon foto se paske yo tout pral pibliye sou sit entènèt la, kidonk li ap travay sou tout sa nan kapasite li kòm direktè kominikasyon. Tom te dakò ke, byenke li se Direktè Kominikasyon sòtan an, li pral kontinye konsantre sou pwojè sa a jiskaske nou anboche siksesè li. Se konsa, Thomas ak kèk nan elèv edikasyon pwofesyonèl nou yo ap bati sit entènèt sa a, mwen panse ke anba pedagojik Lisa Miller. E ap gen yon eleman dokimantasyon kote tout dokiman sa yo ap disponib pou piblik la pou lè yon moun mande, kote sa a? Nou ka rekòmande yon kote pou ou. Tout minit reyinyon nou yo ap ale la. Tout ajanda reyinyon nou yo ap la. Se konsa, nou te gen yon estrikti antye an plas pou eseye fè sa. Nou poko pare, men mwen espere ke nou ka ba ou yon vizit nan pwochen reyinyon nou an. sit entènèt.
[Richard Orlando]: Oke, kidonk pwochen etap la se montre pòt la deyò. Kòman do nou ye?
[Jenny Graham]: So i en keksoz konplike akoz i vreman pa fini pou nou anba lalwa open meetings. Yon fwa yo pibliye yon orè, tout dokiman li yo pral tounen yon pati nan dosye piblik la. Si nou fè sa, bagay ki difisil la se, si nou ap travay dèyè sèn nan, gen yon bon chans nou ap vyole lwa reyinyon ouvè. Se poutèt sa, administratè yo gen yon kopi travay dokiman yo ap travay sou li a epi yo pa reprezante yon kowòm epi yo ka kontinye fè sa. Yon fwa dokiman yo rive isit la, yo pral mete yo sou yon kondwi ki disponib pou piblik la. Lè nou pale sou koreksyon dokiman, pa gen okenn koreksyon offline sou tablo sa a. Lalwa pa pèmèt reyinyon piblik yo. Malerezman, nou chita isit la pou edite yon dokiman ansanm. Sa a se vrèman youn nan pati ki pi douloure nan jere pwosesis sa a ou tout te enskri pou, padon. Men, wi, li trè douloure, men offline, ki kalite koreksyon offline ki travay tèlman byen nenpòt lòt kote nan mond lan, se pa yon opsyon isit la.
[Richard Orlando]: Oke, donk pa gen Google Drive oswa dokiman pataje. Bagay yo pral lage. Yo pral parèt sou sit entènèt la lè yo pibliye yo. Lè yo parèt sou sit entènèt la, yo se esansyèlman kontwòl konfigirasyon epi yo pa ka chanje san yo pa ranvèse chanjman sa yo isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Kòrèk. Oke, wi, li terib. Wi. Sa a se absoliman terib. Nou jwenn fason pou fè sa. Pa tankou pè, men, ou konnen, malerezman, li pa sa ki pè ankò. Sa a se asire w jwenn kominote a nan pwoblèm an tèm de fason dokiman an modifye. Apre sa, pral gen, lè nou fè sa, mwen pral jwenn ke reyinyon sa yo pi efikas sou Zoom. Ou ka chita kote ou vle ak tout moun ka wè ki jan dokiman an te modifye epi pa ka gen okenn fòm Lide pou koreksyon dokiman an san yo pa divilge ke sa k ap pase. Se konsa, nou dwe pran anpil prekosyon nan sans sa a. Men wi, se yon pwosesis. Etranj ki jan sa ap travay pou GraphDoc. Mwen ka wè sa ap travay pou pibliye dokiman.
[Unidentified]: Non. Sa a se pa yon GraphDoc. Nou konprann ke anpil nan nou ap travay. Nou ap diskite. Nou se yon kolektif komen, jèn, pataje. Wi.
[Breanna Lungo-Koehn]: Sa a se reflechi. Wi, wi.
[Unidentified]: Mwen te pale ak chak nan yo nan biwo a otòn pase a. Se te peryòd la. Se konsa, nou te gen yon long apèl nan telefòn. Gen 40 manm nan total. Yon manm te di: Simon jis mansyone sa a nan dokiman an epi li kòmantè nou yo la. An reyalite, nou mete yo ansanm. Repons lan se non. Lè sa a, ou ka ekri revizyon ou. Mwen reponn ou gen sètan. Yo te di, oke, admèt li.
[Unidentified]: Nou jis santi li. Se tankou nou tout dakò ke sa a ta ka danjere.
[Breanna Lungo-Koehn]: Wi. Mèsi ankò paske ou isit la. Mwen enterese tou nan pati kominikasyon an e byenke mwen pa travay aswè sa yo, mwen toujou kontan pran kèk apèl. Yo pral tounen isit la.
[Jenny Graham]: Tout mizajou sa yo ap tounen isit la. Èske gen nenpòt lòt kesyon ou ka reponn sou soukomite a oswa sou ajanda a?
[Tracy Keene]: Mwen gen yon kesyon sou vote. Wi lè nou vote wi nou pa nan yon eta mwen pa janm konprann : pouvwa gen dwa.
[Jenny Graham]: Non. Non, li pa. Èske otorite yo pèmèt nan reyinyon yo? Non, ou pa kapab bay vòt ou a yon lòt moun. Lè nou fini, ann pratike vote paske nou dwe vote pou nou fini. Tipikman, sa rive nan sa yo rele yon vòt vwa, kote tout moun di "wi" ak Lè sa a, nou ale. Ann pratike woule paske se Ankò, etranj ak etranj, kidonk nou pral fini li tankou sa a. Men, nenpòt lòt kesyon anvan nou fini?
[Unidentified]: Mwen fè atansyon.
[Jenny Graham]: Men, mwen panse yon lòt bagay ki merite dekri se ke gen yon pakèt manm ki pa gen dwa vote nan komite sa a. Rezon pou sa a se pa paske nou pa vle tande pale de ou. Ou la paske nou vle tande pale de ou. Lè nou vote, yo p ap rele non w epi w p ap vote. Men, pi lwen pase sa, ou se yon manm konplè nan komite sa a. yo te avèti m Lè gen anpil manm vòt, fè biznis vin trè difisil paske yon kowòm nan komite a oblije rankontre ak fè biznis. Li tout vin trè, trè konplike. Alor sa ki nou pe sey dir se: nou anvi annan en gran komite, me nou bezwen osi kapab avanse avek efikasite e efektivman eksetera. Sa a se rezon ki fè dèyè li. Kisa nou te fè la. Mwen panse ke gwosè a nan komisyon an pral sètènman chanje pandan lavi li.
[Tracy Keene]: Kidonk 25?
[Jenny Graham]: Wi, gen 15 manm vòt nan komite a, ki toujou yon bon kantite manm vòt. Nou pral pratike vote byento. Men, nenpòt lòt kesyon pou pwochen reyinyon an? Règ, règ ak fizyone sou 7 me. Kominote a angaje nan dat 8 me epi li pral pote rezilta yo bay gwoup la nan dat 13 me. Se poutèt sa, nan reyinyon nou an 13 me, yon gwo majorite pral gade rekòmandasyon sa yo ak dakò sou plan sa yo. Nou nan mòd demaraj ankò. Apre sa, nou pral antre nan vyann ak pòmdetè nan kèk nan dokiman yo ke gouvènman an te travay sou yo epi yo kòmanse li yo epi diskite sou sa ki nan yo. Jan de bagay sa yo, men ann kontinye ak li. Nou kreye ajanda reyinyon yo. Jis pou rezon rezonab nou pral rankontre an pèsòn nan emisyon an si sa posib, pri a se RMB 89. Depi koulye a jouk nan fen mwa Jen an. Mwen pwomèt nou pral tounen nan lendi swa nan kòmansman ane lekòl kap vini an, men ant kounye a ak fen mwa jen, ant reyinyon komite lekòl la ak jou ferye yo, li konplètman enposib kenbe orè sa a. Nou pral rankontre sèlman atravè Zoom pandan ete a, epi nou pral aktyèlman deplase reyinyon nou yo nan Mèkredi. Lè nou konsidere se lendi ak vandredi nan sezon lete an, li vrèman difisil pou jwenn yon kowòm pou fè yon bagay. Nou swete ke nou ka fè sa, men mwen eseye kenbe orè reyinyon an limyè. Mwen panse ke pral gen plis sou-komite nan fen mwa Out, men sa a se jis kòmansman moun yo ap eseye òganize lavi okipe yo.
[Unidentified]: Wi. Se konsa, de bagay. Sepandan, sa a se yon kesyon endirèk. Si ou pa ka fè sa, OK, tanpri pataje vwa w tou lè w voye yon imèl ba nou panse w ak kòmantè w yo.
[Richard Orlando]: Aktyèlman sa a se yon pwoblèm teknik. Yon mesye ki pa ka rive nan reyinyon an ap voye ba ou yon imèl ki montre lide li ak sijesyon li yo, petèt menm yon desizyon. Précédemment, nou te tande ke imel se yon move lide pou prèske tout bagay eksepte anviwònman ajanda. Sa a son tankou yon zòn gri. M ap mande si ou rate yon reyinyon piblik kote de bagay sa yo te konfli. Ki jan li travay?
[Jenny Graham]: Donk mwen ka di w, mwen panse nenpòt avoka ap di w pa janm mete anyen alekri. Sa a se kote nou kòmanse. Pa janm mete anyen alekri. Sa te di, si ou pral ekri yon bagay, Tankou nan ka sa a, wi, li se yon zòn gri. Sa ou ta dwe fè se kontakte yon moun epi di, hey, mwen ka voye lide mwen an ba ou? Èske w te pale de bagay sa yo ak nenpòt lòt moun oswa èske w planifye? Ou ka rezonab sèten ke ou gen yon bouk fèmen, dwa? Se sa ou te di m ', èske mwen ka voye w opinyon mwen an? Mwen di wi. Mwen te di, mwen pa pral pale ak pèsonn lòt bagay sou pwoblèm sa yo, kidonk nou pral byen. Sa i vin en problenm selman si ou konekte avek serten dimoun ki reprezant mazorite komite. Pa egzanp, si ou di: Mwen vle di de moun paske mwen pa sèten ki moun ki pral nan reyinyon an, sa se oke paske ou poko uit. Apre ou fin pale ak tèt ou, ki gen ladan uit moun, ou nan pwoblèm. Lè sa a, w ap vyole Open Meetings Act. Pati ki difisil la se ke tout moun ki enplike yo dwe gen menm konpreyansyon ak moun ki patisipe nan konvèsasyon sa a. Kisa mwen manke?
[Unidentified]: Mwen rate sa nan pòs la sou bwat la. Ou ka trè entansyonèl. Mwen jis di ou, jis ale, haha. Si ou te fè menm bagay la, nou tout t ap vyole lalwa, kèlkeswa sa nou fè pou evite vyole lalwa. Se konsa, mwen panse ke sa ale pou tout sitwayen ki respekte lalwa. Deliberasyon seri pa okipe anyen, pa sou kontni, pa sou planifikasyon, pa sou asirans. Se jis nou de, pa vre? Ou ale epi vyole li. Mwen vyole anpil lwa. Menm si mwen pa konnen, OK, OK. Ebyen wi, se pwoblèm mwen.
[Jenny Graham]: N ap bay tout moun yon adrès imel Lekòl Piblik Medford, e mwen rekòmande pou ou pa sèvi ak imel pèsonèl ou pou okenn biznis ki gen rapò ak MSBA nan okenn sikonstans. Yon fwa imèl sa yo mete kanpe, nou pral konvèti tout bagay. Men, mwen konseye w pa sèvi ak imel pèsonèl ou pou okenn rezon.
[Unidentified]: Sa fè li pi fasil pou respekte dosye piblik yo. Mwen se ofisye aksè a dosye pou distri lekòl la. Eksepte nòt pèsonèl ou yo, nenpòt dokiman ofisyèl ki soti nan lekòl la se dosye piblik epi yo ta dwe disponib otomatikman oswa omwen kapab revize sou demann. Se konsa, fè tout sa yo nan adrès imel Medford Public Schools, Medford Public Schools Google Pack kote ou ka pran nòt ak bagay sa yo vrèman itil pou mete tout bagay nan espas sa a. Pa pataje l ak lòt moun. Pa voye imèl bouyon ou a. Sa a se pa kote yo ekri nòt pèsonèl. OK Nou pa mete pèsonn nan sans sa. Vreman vre. OK
[Jenny Graham]: Nenpòt kesyon final? Li nan 8.03 kounye a. Ann ranvwaye rankont sa daprè règ Robert yo. Èske gen yon mosyon pou adjourn? Manm Orapade te fè yon mosyon pou fèmen, epi Manm Russo te segonde li. Mèsi. Oh, ou pa kapab. Doktè Edward-Vincent te vote. Oke, mwen nan telefòn nan. Majistra Lungo-Cohen te absan. Maris Edward Vincent isit la. Wi. Wi. Suzanne Gallusi, wi. Peter Cushing, wi. Marta Cabral, wi. Libby Brown, wi. Marissa Desmond, wi. Maria Dorsey? Wi. Brian Hilliard? Absan. Tracy Keane? Wi. Emily Lazaro? Absan. Nicole Morel? Absan. Arawon Olapade?
[Unidentified]: Wi.
[Jenny Graham]: Lucas Presner? Wi. 10 afime, 0 refize, ak 5 pa t egziste. Yo te ranvwaye reyinyon an.
