Bill Mudge questioned why three media specialists
refused a recall to Davisville Elementary.
Mr. Daly explained that these teachers were on recall
several years ago. We have to go back
for five years and offer them a job when there is an opening. They all declined because all have accepted
other position in other districts.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa to approve item F-14.
Seconded by Barry Martasian.

Motion was
made by Melvoid Benson to approve F-15.
Seconded by Denise Coppa.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
Bill Mudge questioned why some companies bid on a
6-hour day and others an 8-hour day.
Mr. Daly explained that Bayada did not include
transportation in their bid. They have
arrangements with the parents and nurse because of this medically fragile
child. The parents also requested this
company.
Mrs. Benson stated that we have never outsourced this
service before and asked why it was being done now.
Mr. Daly replied that it was because of the unique
situation with this child.
Mr. Mudge asked if this service was in the IEP.
Mr. Daly replied that it was. It was written in by another district and we
took over the IEP when this child enrolled.
Motion was
made by Melvoid Benson to approve item G.
Seconded by Denise Coppa.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
Dr. Coppa stated that immunization requirements need
to be added to the standing orders.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa to approve the standing orders with the immunizations
added that are required by state statues.
Seconded by Barry Martasian.
The cost of required items such as calamine lotions,
etc. was discussed. It was stated that
each school has a budget for these items.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
END OF CONSENT AGENDA
Item M under New Business – Request for Use of HS
Football Field – was moved to this point in the agenda.
Don DeFedele explained that the NK Jaguar Football
Team has requested to use the high school football field for their games.
Erin Keech, President of NK Youth Football, gave a
background of the group. They currently
use McGinn field but feel that it is not in good condition due to overuse. They are requesting to use the high school
field for eighteen games over a three day period. These days are two days after high school
games, so the grass wouldn’t need to be mowed or lines wouldn’t need to be
painted. The coaches are very respectful
of the fields. The group feels that this
would be good for the children and will donate $500 to the School Department and
set up their own concession stand.
Bill Mudge stated that he is in support of the request
but knows what can happen to a field with overuse. We have previously had fields ruined by other
groups. He would like the Athletic
Director to review the request.
Motion was
made by Melvoid Benson that the Athletic Director meet with the
American Youth Football organization and come back to the School Committee with
a recommendation. Seconded by Bill
Mudge.
·
Bucky Brennan
stated that it was important for the Athletic Department to weigh in before a
vote was taken.
·
Don DeFedele agreed
but stated that he did not think it was the Athletic Director’s job to make a
decision. He would like information on
the field use because he realizes that the field needs to rest and the
Committee needs to know the impact on the field. He has seen other communities that allow use
of their high school fields, and the fields are in deplorable condition. He hoped Mrs. Benson would withdraw her
motion and he would recommend that the AD give a report on the impact on the
field.
·
Dr. Coppa agreed
with the chair’s suggestion. She had
concerns about the field. The children
using it would be no less rigorous than others and the field gets torn up. McGinn field was set up specifically for the
Jaguar’s use and she feels it is perfectly adequate.
Mrs. Benson
stated that she would remove her motion.
·
Renee Cockerill
stated that both of her children play with the Jaguars and it is a great
organization. She would like to hear
from the AD and Boosters and possibly come up with a compromise.
·
Dr. Halley stated
that he appreciated what the Jaguars do and what the football league does for
children. There is also soccer,
baseball, cross country, track and basketball within the community and we do
have limited resources. The high school
stadium field is not even used by our own kids for all sports. The JV teams and Freshman teams do not use
the high school field. The old field
became like cement or mud because of overuse and we are trying to prevent that
from happening to this field.
He has studied different turf and grass types to
understand the problems and get optimal use out of the field. It would be great to support all requests, or
use artificial turf, but that is not what the town wanted.
Public Comment:
1. Betsy James
stated that she has gone to other games where they use the high school field
and there is a sense of community. She
sees other fields well kept.
2. Muriel Cammara
noted that there is a policy to think about.
We need to serve kids first who are in our own schools.
3. Julie
McGuire stated that she has played and coached on the old field and it had
become dangerous. We are denying 1300 of
our own students playing on the field and urged the Committee to consider what
an approval of an outside group would be doing to the kids in our own high school. This group is asking to play eighteen
games. She is only allowed to have her
high school team play eight games all season.
Melvoid Benson stated that this would be segregation if
we don’t allow the Jaguars to play and we should let everyone play on the
field.
4.
Niles Krueger is
a taxpayer and also involved with the Booster Club. He objected to Mrs. Benson saying it is
“segregation” and was insulted by that. He wanted facts to be straight. The field on Quonset belongs to the Soccer
Association. Because of overuse, the fields are
destroyed. He tried to get the School
Committee to consider artificial turf
and the
Boosters offered to pay interest four or five years ago. The issue is not segregation, we have a gem
of a facility.
Mr. Krueger
told Mr. Mudge that his facts are wrong.
The RI Inter-Scholastic group pays fees.
Let Mr. Thomas do his
job and make
a recommendation.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa to have the Athletic Director, in conjunction with the
Superintendent, prepare a report on the high school field use for the next
meeting. Seconded by Barry Martasian.
Mr. Mudge asked if the Athletic Director would be able
to present an unbiased evaluation after hearing Dr. Halley’s comments.
Amendment to
the motion was made by Bill Mudge that the Athletic Director submit a
recommendation to Dr. Halley and Dr. Halley can submit it to the
Committee. No second to the motion.
Erin Keech stated that they practice safe rotation to
avoid damage to the field and they will go with the Athletic Director’s
recommendation. They would be happy with
just one game.
Dr. Halley reminded the Committee that they do have a
policy to review about the use of facilities.
Vote on main
motion: unanimous to approve.
Recess taken at 8:46pm
Meeting resumed at 9:02pm
Mr. DeFedele asked Mr. Brennan if he would like his
vote recorded on the high school field use.
Mr. Brennan stated that he would like to vote. He voted in the affirmative.
Item B under Unfinished Business – Food Service Price
Increase – was moved to this point in the agenda.
Betty Prairie, Food Service Supervisor, explained that
due to increasing expenses the food service department suffered a loss this
year. The recommendation is to raise
school lunch prices to help cover future losses this year. The suggestion is for elementary school
lunches to be raised from $1.85 to $2.00 and for secondary school lunches to be
raised from $$2.50 to $3.00.
Dr. Halley stated that we have negotiated with the
union that new employees will not get the same benefits as current employees
which will help with expenses. Also all
vending machines will come under food service and to go along with the Wellness
policy, snacks in schools will be bought from food services, and the Special
Education department will now offer vocational food services through the
cafeteria.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa to accept the lunch price increase as proposed by the
School Department. Seconded by Bill
Mudge.
There was discussion if the raise in prices was too
steep.
Food Service is an enterprise fund that is separate
from the school fund and by law has to be self supporting. This program cannot run in a deficit.
Amendment to
the motion was made by Melvoid Benson to vote on the two increases
separately. Seconded by Renee Cockerill.
Public Comment:
Barbara Elleman asked about portions. They are different - less at the elementary
level. Her children buy lunch from
their allowances. She suggested lunch
passes to avoid staff having to make change.
Vote on
amendment: Don DeFedele No Melvoid Benson Yes
Denise
Coppa No Renee Cockerill Yes

motion: Barry Martasian Yes Renee Cockerill No

William
Brennan Yes
Item C under Unfinished Business – Duty Charge for
Special Education Transportation Committee - was moved to this point in the
agenda.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa to approve the charge for the Special Education
Transportation Sub-Committee. Seconded
by Don DeFedele.
It was clarified that SELAC will appoint one
representative but the committee will still be open to parents of Special
Education children if they choose to volunteer.
This charge guarantees at least one representative.
Amendment to
the motion was made by Melvoid Benson that SELAC would have two representatives
on the sub-committee. Seconded by Barry
Martasian.
Comments were requested from SELAC representatives
that were present.
Sharon Schubert
stated that two representatives would be fine.Vote on amendment: unanimous to
approve.
Vote on main
motion as amended: unanimous to approve.
Item F under Unfinished Business – School Start Times
– was moved to this point in the agenda.
Dr. Halley presented his proposal of school start
times:
Start Dismiss
High
School 7:15 1:45
DMS and WMS 8:15 2:20
Davisville
Elementary 8:00 2:20
FC, FP, QE, SL, HE 9:05 3:25
Dr. Halley stated that this schedule works, students
can get to school in time for breakfast, most students will be home by 4:00pm
with the latest home by 4:30pm. If this
is changed, all schools have to change, not just one school.
As per the Start Time Committee’s recommendation, more
students will be walking out to main bus stops.
Denise Coppa took over as chair at 10:00pm. Don
DeFedele returned as chair at 10:05pm.
Dr. Coppa suggested moving all schools by 15
minutes. The Start Time sub-committee
recommended that the high school start between 7:30am – 8:00am.
Motion was
made by Denise Coppa that the start times be advanced by 15 minutes. Seconded by Barry Martasian.
·
Renee Cockerill
was concerned that if most elementary schools dismissed at the same time,
parents with children at different schools would not be able to pick them up at
the same time. Dr. Halley explained that
we cannot do everything. If parents choose
not to use transportation, they can make other arrangements. He also pointed out that there is a 5 – 10
minute difference between dismissal and when the last bus leaves the school.
·
Barry Martasian
stated that he supports the change. It
would be ideal if we could go by the recommendations of the National Sleep
Foundation but he felt the community is not ready for that yet. This is a good start.
·
Don DeFedele
stated that this would also push the elementary dismissal time by 15 minutes.
·
Bill Mudge
questioned what it would cost to consolidate the schedule more.
·
Maureen Buck explained
that we would have to add a layer of buses – approximately ten – and they would
be unused for the rest of the day. This
would not be practical at $55,000 - $60,000 per bus.
The Committee discussed other options of switching
school times.
·
Mrs. Benson was
concerned with the decrease in the number of bus stops and students walking out
to the main road.
·
Bucky Brennan did
not feel that there was a significant amount of time that students would have
to be walking in the dark, especially with the older kids. He felt we should leave it to the
transportation department to make the stops as they see fit.
Staff would still be available to supervise
children. Schedules are staggered now to
accommodate supervision.
Bus stops are certified by the police department as
safe, just as they are now.
·
Don DeFedele
stated that we have had complaints by parents concerning the late elementary
start time currently. Now we are going
later. This is a hardship for parents
getting to work.
·
Dr. Coppa stated
that there would be issues no matter what is implemented. She feels that the high school students don’t
have advocates for them.
Public Comment:
1. Janice
Tetreault has a high school student and asked if the Committee would want their
child getting on a bus at 5:50am. The
early start affected the whole family.
The PTSO survey showed that kids need to sleep longer. She supports the 7:30am start as a step in
the right direction.
2. Tony Vinchi
asked about an overlap of the high school and middle schools. Dr. Halley responded that an attempt was made
to combine WMS and the high school but it was not possible.
3. Brenda
Glover asked the Committee to think about the dismissal time of elementary
students. At the beginning of the year
it can take 17 minutes to get all kids on the bus. At best, they won’t be leaving school until
3:50pm.
4. Terri Ohs
feels the high school start time should be changed. The elementary kids will be
in high school some day. She feels this
would spread the burden to all.
5. Doug Roth
stated that we need to strike a balance.
He was concerned with adding 20 minutes to the elementary day and moving
the start times another 15 minutes.
Dismissal could be running into rush hour. At 4:30pm, Rt. 1 traffic starts to pile
up. He asked the Committee to consider
changing by 5 minutes.
Motion was
made by Barry Martasian to end debate on start times. Seconded by Denise Coppa.
6. Paul Dion
questioned the equity of burden.
Quidnessett and
Dr. Halley responded that this is
not true.
Mr. Dion agreed that the
high school does start too early. He
supports the Superintendent’s proposal.
7.
Teri Ohs stated that elementary moms will be at the bus stops when kids
get off the bus.
8.
Barbara Elleman stated that it doesn’t matter how safe the bus stop is
declared – it’s the walk to the stop.
She felt that
the 9:20am is too late for the
elementary schools to start.
9. Gerry Foley, Principal of the high school,
stated that they would take any later time.
7:30 would be ideal for 85% of
the kids.
Vote to end debate: unanimous to approve.
Vote of main motion to add 15 minutes to
the recommended start times:
Bill Mudge Yes Don
DeFedele No
Renee Cockerill Yes Melvoid Benson No
Denise Coppa Yes
Barry Martasian Yes
William Brennan Yes
Motion was
made by Don DeFedele to adjourn after comments.
Seconded by Barry Martasian.
Vote: to approve 5 to 1 with Bill Mudge voting no.
Public Comment:
1. Muriel Cammara stated that she tried to send
an e-mail to the Committee but it came back undeliverable. She is disappointed in the personnel items
and will send her comments to the newspapers.
Dr. Halley explained that the network server has just
been changed and e-mails have been delayed.
He suggested that Mrs. Cammara could drop off her message and we will
make sure it is delivered.
2. Teri Ohs
stated that she agreed with Mr. Dion that the problem is because of
pairing. It goes back to Fishing
Cove. Then there was no problem.
3. Jim McGinn
stated that the district should have a whistleblower policy. He has confidence in the School Department
and is proud of the school system, but feels the Committee is losing
confidence. A whistleblower policy would
help and he submitted suggestions to review.
He has reviewed items on the suggested policy
“Standards of Employee Conduct” and felt items 3, 4, and 5 go against common
practice. Mr. Almonte’s letter of the 25th
to the Town Council was very serious and he agreed with the suggestion of an
audit committee.
Mr. DeFedele replied that we take that very seriously
and he was proud that there was no fraud found.
Mr. McGinn said he was relieved that no fraud was
found and he boasts about our school system.
He was concerned with the retribution issues.
Mr. DeFedele stated that the Auditor General reported
that the interviewees stated that there was no retribution.
4. Dr. Halley
stated that the Standards of Employee Conduct Policy is the one that the Town
has adopted and recommended by our auditors.
It comes from another auditor who might have a different opinion than
Mr. McGinn.
The Auditor General’s letter of the 25th
was written to the Town. The Town does
not have policies on procurement, they have procedures that are followed and
the School Department uses the exact same procedures. Both the Town and the School Department need
to adopt policies. Dr. Halley disagreed
that employees are afraid of retribution.
Meeting adjourned at 11:02pm.
Respectfully
Submitted,
