[Paul Donato Jr]: I would like to make a motion to accept the presentation

[Paul Donato Jr]: except supply to anyone.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Is there a second so we can get this over with and then we can finish what we need to do.

[Paul Donato Jr]: just everybody has a chance to look at it this weekend, right Mr. Chair?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Okay.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Weren't we just told that we didn't have any time restraints tonight?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Right.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Now, Mr. Chairman, may I make a motion to have the presentation the way it is so we don't delay anymore.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We can discuss whatever you'd like to discuss afterwards, but we can accept the presentation as it is.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So this way there's no argument or no discussion about eight slides, nine slides.

[Paul Donato Jr]: It's the 20 slides minus the 21, slide 21, and then just...

[Paul Donato Jr]: then we can nitpick through every slide afterwards.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So my motion was seconded, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Okay, so now- We can discuss the slides, but let's just approve the entire process, and then we can go through slide by slide if you'd like, but at least we know that the 20 slides have been approved.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I was at the school committee meeting last night, Mr. Chairman, and I was, you know, disappointed that they said that we were trying to stall the process.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Well, right now is a motion on the floor, not to stall the process any longer.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We can discuss like Brie said, individual slides or individual comments.

[Paul Donato Jr]: but at least we can agree on the 20 slides to go forward.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So now we don't have to worry about a six o'clock deadline.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We don't have to worry about anything because the 20 slides have been approved.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I just don't want the school committee to think that we're stalling the process because I think that we amazingly- This process is our own.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, there are 22 slides.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're going to say because the thank you, after you look, the thank you would be slide number 22.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Slide 22 says thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The one prior to it is 21.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm just asking that if we could delete slide 21 off the whole process,

[Paul Donato Jr]: and keep those other slides, which are 20 slides, with the thank you, end with the thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Just remove slide 21, that's all I'm saying.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And we could say, yes, and now you wanna individually, like Matt, and I agree with you, Matt, we can go through each individual slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: But in case we go past 6.15 or six o'clock, at least we know that these 20 slides are approved.

[Paul Donato Jr]: that we've all looked at and we've had all weekend to look at them.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The school committee thinks that we're stalling the process.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And I don't want that.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We've done such an amazing job on this presentation and it should be seen in its entirety.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And I don't wanna see just eight slides be presented to the school committee.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I think that these 20 slides should be approved.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That's just my opinion.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'll cable it until five 45, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Clippership drive is one word.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Clippership is one word.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So hopefully, um, put in the chat, the, uh, the phone number that he can dial in, but he probably can't see the chat.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I can text him if you'd like.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You could have voted already.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Every resource that I attack says two words as well.

[Paul Donato Jr]: There we go.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We'll rename the street and give you credit.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right, Melissa, I'll leave that up to you then.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I just asked Lisa to put it in the chat if she's available to have the phone number.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I believe Jim is back on.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Agreed.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Anybody else?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yeah, put it to a vote, Ron.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Put it to a vote.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I would leave it the way it is, Ron.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You work really hard on this.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm sorry, my name is Paul.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This is Paul, I second Kathy's comments.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Ron, for allowing us to change the slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I would move on.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thanks again, Ron.

[Paul Donato Jr]: yeah.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I thought we moved on.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chair, can you clarify a yes and no vote, please?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes is remove, a no is stay.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No is a stay.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: How much time was wasted on that, Mr. Chair?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Kristen.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Okay, I'm curious, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Barry Sutherland did start off her career as a special education teacher.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And I believe Kathy Kay can attest to that if I'm not correct.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Japan, which is worldwide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, agreed, move on, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: If I may, it's 5.45 and my original motion from 4 p.m.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Is now back on the floor.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'll give it five more minutes, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, Mr. Chair, we can move on to the next slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, we do.

[Paul Donato Jr]: It's 5.50.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The five minutes are up.

[Paul Donato Jr]: It's time for a vote.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm sorry.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Enough is enough.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You guys wanted to play around, and I said this from the beginning.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The game is over.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I make a motion to move to the next slide, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Motion to move to the next slide, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're all set with this slide, right?

[Paul Donato Jr]: No.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This was not the slide we were talking about.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The motion to move to the next slide, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Correct, at this time we were gonna vote- I'll accept the slide 21, yes, that's the original motion at 4.05 PM.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I can stay here till 11.59.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We can stay here all night if we have to, but we made a commitment

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Sure, we can stall some more, according to the school committee.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That's not the word he used.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This is Paul through the chair, Patrick.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Absolutely.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'll agree to that, Patrick.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Matt.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This slide is fine.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I agree with it.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This is where I have issues, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I believe this is not in our scope.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you very much.

[Paul Donato Jr]: It's all I asked for at 4.05 PM.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Hey, thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you very much.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chair, I would like to make a motion to accept the presentation as is right now, like we tried at 4.05, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Please.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Kathy.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Subcommittee of the subcommittee on this presentation.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Motion adjourned.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Oh, okay.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm rushing.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I volunteer Ron.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I nominate Ron.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I would like to- Ron and Dr. Grace are the two, besides you, Mr. Chairman, are the two most trusted people on the, not trusted- Can I just make, so I have a list here of every slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Does Peter have his hand up?

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'll take the one that says thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Now.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Can I speak motion to adjourn?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Can I get a second?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Second.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All those in favor.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aye.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chair, can a motion be made to see Ron's presentation in its entirety?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Sure.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I second that motion.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I would second that amendment, Kathy.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Kristen has her hand up.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chair, I'm against that.

[Paul Donato Jr]: With the submissions, with the submissions was the agreement.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yeah, there was a motion before Matt's.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: What's the point of showing the 18 names if it doesn't show what the community input was?

[Paul Donato Jr]: We know that there was 18 names because that's what the community voted on.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Submitted, submitted.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm sorry, I apologize.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Submitted, submitted.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right, we're gonna- Submissions.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Maybe we should put it, instead of alphabetically, put it in with the number of submissions, put it in that order.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Would we agree for that?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Agree with the order that the amount of submissions were made.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So we know the order of the submissions with the 18 names.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Anyone?

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Why do we have to use the word votes anyways?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Why can't we just get rid of the 12 votes and just say that the first round of voting, we got Belinda Sutton, Jean Barry Sutherland, and Ms.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Sutton.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Why do we have to use the word votes?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Those are our top three.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're gonna give votes to either one of them.

[Paul Donato Jr]: 12 years back in 2019.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'd vote for that.

[Paul Donato Jr]: For the chair, I agree.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I agree with you, Grace.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'd second that.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Very well said.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Do you mind repeating that for her so she can write it?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I make a motion to move on to the next slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm sorry, I pass.

[Paul Donato Jr]: A motion's on the floor to accept the slide and it was seconded.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Sure, and Gene Barry Sutherland got 423 submissions.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You want to get rid of that, but you don't want to get rid of this.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And a motion was made.

[Paul Donato Jr]: All right.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We move this now?

[Paul Donato Jr]: I will drop my motion if we just move on to the next slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No, my motion's still on the floor.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Motion to move to the next slide, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, if we moved on to the next slide, leave it the way it is right now currently and move on to the next slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And then I'll add an amendment to add that there's 423 votes were made for submissions were made for Jean Barry Sutherland.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I mean, we can go on.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I understand that, so that's why I'm saying.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You're not going to be able to be presenters to the school committee next Tuesday.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Keep the slide the way it is presently, because I'm the one that made the motion.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Keep the motion.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Keep the slide the way it is.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Right now, move on to the next slide as we were just informed that there's another meeting coming up and we'll never finish this.

[Paul Donato Jr]: As Ron said, we have five, six hours more left to work to go.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're gonna have to go to the school committee and ask for another week to delay this.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So let's just move on to the next slide, please.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I think it's great.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Motion to accept this slide.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The Underground Railroad, there's lots of things that you learn about at the Royal House.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I would love to take you on a tour.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I second Ron's wording.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That's a friendly amendment.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I second Ron's amendment.

[Paul Donato Jr]: My question.

[Paul Donato Jr]: to remove that line.

[Paul Donato Jr]: What were your words again, Ron, please?

[Paul Donato Jr]: No, but not your words.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm talking about the way you said a legacy of.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Should we move on to the next slide, Mr. Chairman?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Motion?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Everybody happy with the slide?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Mr. Chairman, are we going to have to go to the school committee and ask for another week?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Because as we only have 10 minutes left and we haven't even finished.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We have another meeting this week.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Friday.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Ron's original, Ron's original.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That's why originally Ron did ask for two weeks.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And unfortunately we voted for only given one week to June 7th.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And we should have listened to Ron from the beginning and went with the two weeks because this is the problem that we're having.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're not going to finish.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Matt.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I agree with you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You need to ask for an extension, please.

[Paul Donato Jr]: And Mr. Chair, if I say Lisa said that we had a 15 minute presentation when we need a half hour.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So we need to put on the agenda that we need a half hour to 45 minutes for our presentation.

[Paul Donato Jr]: One minute extension, please.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Paul Donato Jr.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Paul Donato Jr.

[Paul Donato Jr]: For the clarifications to the chair brief, did you say that there was no persons of color in the city of Medford have anything named after them?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Is that what you said?

[Paul Donato Jr]: But in that quote, you did say that there was nothing named after anyone's a person of color.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Did you not say that?

[Paul Donato Jr]: There is a public building.

[Paul Donato Jr]: You're incorrect there.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Madeline Dugger Andrews is a person of color who a middle school is named after.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That's what this is a fact finding information about the city of Medford.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: First of all, I'd like to thank Beth Fuller for talking so hotly about Miriam Morrissey.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I knew her very well.

[Paul Donato Jr]: She was actually one of my babysitters.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I knew a lot of the people on the list personally, Ray Marano, Pauline Walker, and Jean Barry Sutherland.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I just would...

[Paul Donato Jr]: like you to consider Jean as one of your top choices.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Teachers are arguably the most important members of our society and often are undervalued.

[Paul Donato Jr]: They give children purpose, set them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire them to drive to do well and succeed in life.

[Paul Donato Jr]: On top of that, not only do they educate, but they help parent and mentor our children during the day.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and teachers are that critical point that makes a child ready for their future.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I think past three years opened the eyes of many parents as to how much our children depend on their teachers.

[Paul Donato Jr]: With that being said, what better way to honor an educator who dedicated her life to children, the city of Medford, and fighting for equality than to name the Columbus School after Jean Barry, who just so happens to be a former principal of the school.

[Paul Donato Jr]: This also is our chance as a city to stand with all educators and let them know how much we appreciate them and support them, especially after this difficult year.

[Paul Donato Jr]: In addition, Jean has met all four of the criteria rubric with almost a perfect score.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We have given the city a chance to vote and the number of votes Jean has

[Paul Donato Jr]: received speaks volumes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I hope you strongly consider Jean Barry as your choice.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Dean Barry Sutherland.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Dean Barry Sutherland.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Can a motion be made, Mr. Chair, that we just move on with the three names?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Just asking.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Can we- We want to make a motion.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Is that a possible set so we can move on?

[Paul Donato Jr]: We can get this done?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Three names?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Zach, we'll look at the floor.

[Paul Donato Jr]: May I, Mr. Chairman?

[Paul Donato Jr]: I believe that we've spoken as a group.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We picked three names, 21 votes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We're on a time restraint.

[Paul Donato Jr]: The school committee is looking for a name.

[Paul Donato Jr]: We just came up with three.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I mean, we have 30 minutes left.

[Paul Donato Jr]: What do you think?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Is this something we can agree on?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Finally, please.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yeah.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yeah.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I also didn't have access through the chair and she did fix it though.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I second Ron's amendment.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Aldonado Junior, lifelong Method resident.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I was born here, 1966.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I graduated in Method High in 1984.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I have two children who already graduated, and I have two children currently in the Medford school system.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I'm a food concessionaire in the summertime, and I do snow removal in the wintertime.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Thank you.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Roll call vote.

[Paul Donato Jr]: No.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: My suggestion through you, it'd be each member pick three names off of this list, submit it to the chair.

[Paul Donato Jr]: So this way we can have some sort of list and start from there.

[Paul Donato Jr]: That'll narrow it down.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Yes.

[Paul Donato Jr]: Correct.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I believe he said at the beginning, it had to be public, right, Elisa?

[Paul Donato Jr]: This had to be done in public?

[Paul Donato Jr]: Extremely small.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I didn't receive an updated list today.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I make a motion to extend one week, Mr. Chairman.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I agree the way we're going right now.

[Paul Donato Jr]: I don't think we'll make two weeks.

[Paul Donato Jr]: When was our next meeting, Mr. Chairman?
