Don DeFedele referred to a list of ground rules for the Committee to approve and abide by at the meeting.
Motion to approve the Ground Rules was made by Renee Cockerill. Seconded by Denise Coppa.
Vote: to approve 5 to 0 with Bill Mudge abstaining.
E. Presentations:
A Special Education Update was given by Dr. Daniel McGregor, Director of Pupil Personnel Services. (Appendix A) Dr. McGregor announced that no special education programs had been moved this year. He referred to staff changes and an out-of-district tuition projection in the report. Initiatives were reviewed and the final Response-To-Intervention brochure was shown to the Committee. Dr. McGregor complimented SELAC for their involvement with the brochure. All students will be assessed using the curriculum based assessment. Students not meeting the standard will be identified and possibly be given a Personal Literacy Plan or a Response-To-Intervention which is a working plan with parent input to be looked at over time for student improvement. The final step would be a referral to Special Education services if necessary.
A math lab
will be instituted at
Dr. Coppa asked why the math lab will only be instituted at WMS. Dr. McGregor replied that this is a test year, it is grant funded and it would cost another teacher and materials to implement at DMS. Wickford was chosen because test scores revealed that it was in danger of not meeting the standards.
Mr. DeFedele asked about the appendix of teachers in his report that state “To be determined”. Dr. McGregor stated that most have now been placed with the exception of Speech, OT and PT teachers who need to determine their schedule at the beginning of the year.
Mr. Mudge asked about the cost and training requirements to implement this new program. Dr. McGregor responded that there would be training by in-house staff. We could also utilize RIDE consultants or money might be used in grants for consultants that may be needed. There is not any money budgeted at this time for the program to be used at DMS.
Mr. Mudge felt that the School Committee should have been advised before this was done.
Dr. Halley explained that the RTI program has been discussed in the past, money has been allocated, and this has been an initiative for the last two years.
Mr. Mudge stated that he was questioning the process. He believes that the Town Council has not approved grant money or the CRP.
Dr.
DeFrances pointed out the Response To Intervention program is a federal
mandate.
early. The math lab at
support.
Motion was made by
Denise Coppa to accept the Special Education Report. Seconded by Renee Cockerill.
Vote to accept 5 to 1
with Bill Mudge voting no.
Presentation:
Sharon Schubert presented a SELAC end of the year report. (Appendix B)
Mrs. Schubert stated that she will send an updated report, as the report that was submitted omitted one member. SELAC had approved this report at their meeting last night.
The group worked on the new IDEA changes and is still working on the Special Education Survey. The report states that the results of the survey are attached, but in fact they are not attached at this time. Mrs. Schubert expects that they will be complete by the end of September.
SELAC also helped coordinate the RTI brochure and met with Special Education staff at the high school.
Issues of concern are special needs busing and keeping the School Committee advised of programs. Special Education was a goal of the School Committee and SELAC feels it was not addressed.
Mr. DeFedele disagreed and stated that the School Committee took the initiative by requesting quarterly reports, etc. The School Committee is not in the dark concerning Special Education needs and will continue to work on this subject.
A lack of high school parent involvement in Special Education was discussed.
Mr. DeFedele asked if the issue of special needs busing was included in the survey.
Mrs. Schubert answered that it was not included and in hindsight, it should have been.
Dr. Halley asked Mrs. Schubert to
review which schools were represented by the voting members of SELAC.
Dr. McGregor will supply that information to the Committee.
II. Citizen’s Comments on Agenda Items
1. Paula Yole asked about #4 in the Health and Wellness Administrative Regulation that states that foods for intercultural days can be made available through food services.
Dr. Coppa explained that the wording was it can be made available, not that it was mandatory.
Ms. Yole also asked about #5 that refers to food in Advisory periods, and felt that Advisory was not part of the curriculum.
Dr. Coppa stated that sometimes food is involved in Advisory and now food service will be providing it.
Dr. Halley added that Advisory is a time when teachers and students get to know each other and that the purpose of #5 is that there is quality control over what foods are provided.
Mrs. Yole felt that Advisory is not part of the curriculum and is just like homeroom.
Don DeFedele stated that this is not true – we have to have Advisory periods.
There was discussion that students or teachers could not bring in food for Advisory period for others to share unless it was bought through food service.
2. Peggy Deluge asked who adapts the curriculum for special needs students.
Dr. McGregor replied that it is the special needs teacher and the regular classroom teacher.
Ms. Deluge stated that the federal government says that we educate all students with disabilities and the RI law is until age twenty-one, and asked about the criteria for disabilities.
Dr. McGregor replied that the determination is made by the IEP team.
Ms. Deluge questioned the graduation criteria for students with disabilities.
Dr. Halley explained that the criteria is based on the special need of that student and what that student can reasonably accomplish. The criteria is made by the IEP team and the parents. If the parents disagree, there is an appeal process to follow.
Mr. DeFedele explained that the parent can first notify the Superintendent and if not satisfied, can request an appeal with the School Committee and then request a hearing with RI Department of Education. He stated that this did not happen in this case, Ms. Deluge went directly to the Board of Education.
3.
Larry Ceresi stated that at IEP meetings he has attended, there are
procedural safeguards that are given to parents that state if the IEP team
cannot come to an agreement, parents can go to mediation and then to RIDE. Parents are not notified that they can
request a School Committee hearing.
III. Routine Items
A. Correspondence
Mr. Mudge requested to submit a $30.00 expense for reimbursement by the School Committee and asked to be put on the agenda for discussion.
Mr. DeFedele denied adding the item to an agenda and advised Mr. Mudge to ask the Committee’s opinion.
Motion was made by Bill Mudge to add his application for reimbursement
to the next agenda.
Motion received no second.
Mr. Mudge asked Mr. DeFedele to submit his request for reimbursement to the Superintendent. Mr. DeFedele instructed Mr. Mudge to submit his request directly to the Superintendent.
B. Disclosure of Executive Session Votes
Dr. Halley stated that there was an executive session held tonight for a parent appeal of the kindergarten age requirement.
There was a motion to approve the parent request which was defeated by a 2 to 2 vote.
Mr. DeFedele and Mrs. Cockerill voted yes; Mr. Martasian and Dr. Coppa voted no.
Mr. DeFedele noted that this disclosure was a result of the executive session that was scheduled at 6:30pm. There was a
parental appeal scheduled at 6:00pm in which the parents did not appear.
Bucky Brennan asked about the policy of the School Committee concerning accepting letters without a signature of who
sent the letter. He felt the School Committee should not even receive those letters.
Mr. DeFedele agreed.

Maureen Buck explained that we would be closing the books on September 1st and until then, accounts
receivables are still coming in. The June 30th, July and August reports will be distributed in September.
Mrs. Buck has been in contact with the Town, as this is their report, and this cannot be done until the year is

They are not ready at the Town and it has not been reported to RIDE.
Motion was made by Denise
Coppa to approve item E-3. Seconded by
Renee Cockerill.

Mr. Mudge lobbed a personal attack against Mr. Martasian.
Mr. Martasian stated that he did not appreciate Mr. Mudge’s bullying and that it was against the ground rules.

Mr. Mudge asked if these services had been advertised and awarded.
Mrs. Buck explained that it will be awarded when the School Committee approves them tonight. They have not been
awarded yet.
Dr. Coppa stated that she has looked at the resumes of the Physician and Dentist, and approves of both. She
recommended that the school nurses receive the names of both services.
Mr. Mudge felt this expense was not in the budget. The line item number will be forwarded to Mr. Mudge.
Motion was made by
Denise Coppa to approve item F-1.
Seconded by Barry Martasian.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
2.
Snowplowing**
There was a discussion if the school department should again ask the Town to bid on snowplowing services.
Recess was taken at
8:30pm
Meeting resumed at
8:45pm
Motion was made by Bill
Mudge to send a request to the Town to accommodate our snowplowing needs.
Seconded by Don
DeFedele.
Amendment to the motion
was made by Don DeFedele that the bid needs to be the same cost or better
and
provide service on a
regular basis, and approve the submitted bid on the contingency of the Town’s
reply.
Seconded by Bill Mudge.
Dr. Halley was concerned that this is a three year bid and the contractor might go somewhere else.
Don DeFedele stated that we should have an official approval or denial from the Town.
Mr. Martasian clarified that the requirements should be the same – a three year bid with a 5% increase.
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to end
debate. Seconded by Barry Martasian.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
Vote on amendment to the
motion: 5 to 1 with Denise Coppa voting
no.
Vote on main motion: 5 to 1 with Denise Coppa voting no.
Dr. Halley clarified that if the Town replies in the negative, this submitted contract goes into effect.
The Town will be given a two week timeframe to reply.
3.
Change Order for ISDS Systems for WMS, DES, FP**
Mr. Mudge stated that these projects are funded through bonds and the School Committee has no authority over this.
These are Town Council projects.
Mrs. Buck explained that the Town does this as a courtesy to the School Committee. They do not approve school bond
expenditures until the School Committee approves.
Mr. Mudge was concerned that the School Committee will be held responsible.
Dr. Halley stated that the policy says that the Town approves bond issues. It makes sense that the Town wants
concurrence on school projects.
Motion was made by Don DeFedele to
approve item F-3 with the change that the wording say “concurrence”.
Seconded by
Bill Mudge.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
4.

needed at this time.

Rescind Window Bid for FC, FP, DE, WMS**
Motion was made
by Don DeFedele to rescind the vote taken on the window bid for FC, FP, DE and
WMS.
Seconded by Denise Coppa.
Vote: 5 to 0 to approve with Bill Mudge abstaining.
It was suggested that item H-l be moved to this point in the agenda. Dr. Coppa joked that we actually wanted to talk about
an agenda item. It was requested that this be put in the minutes as a derogatory remark.
Item H-1 (Wellness Policy Regulations) was moved to this point in the
agenda. (Appendix C)
There was discussion concerning limiting food at celebrations or activities in the schools. This policy came from a state law because obesity in children is a health problem and the schools should set the stage for learning by modeling. How restrictive they want to be is decided by the schools. The principals agree with these regulations. Monitoring food in advisories allows control over what is served in school, but we will not control what an individual student brings in from home.
Motion was made by Bill Mudge to revise #5 in the Wellness Regulations
to say that all foods provided to students as a part of Advisory periods must
adhere to the guidelines in #3.
Vote: to approve 5 to 1 with Denise Coppa voting no.
This policy is only in effect during the school day. After school, activities such as Boosters can decide what items that they want to sell. They can work with food services and they do offer healthy choices.
Items 8 – 20 commits us to developing programs and physical activities and it was discussed where the resources are coming from.
Electives are only run if there is enough student interest to run them. We will offer more electives that deal with physical activity but will only have them if there are enough students who sign up.
Motion was made by Barry Martasian to change #18 to state that any
student can develop a personal physical activity program to include in his/her
portfolio in order to earn additional credit towards graduation. Seconded by Renee Cockerill.
Amendment to the motion was made by Renee Cockerill to state that any student
can develop a personal physical activity or wellness activity program to
include in his/her portfolio in order to earn additional credit towards
graduation. Seconded by Don DeFedele.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
Vote on main motion: unanimous to
approve.
There was a discussion on #10 of the Wellness Regulations. There was concern that we would be precluding the advertising of healthy products.
Motion was made by Don DeFedele to put a period after the word “intake”
in #10 and remove the rest of the sentence.
Seconded by Renee Cockerill.
Vote: 5 to 1 to approve with Denise Coppa voting no.
Motion was made by Don DeFedele to strike the word “only” in #1 of the
Wellness Regulations. Seconded by Barry
Martasian.
There was discussion that items such as Gatorade, soda and Powerade will be eliminated in vending machines.
Vote: unanimous to approve.
Item #4 of the Wellness Regulations was discussed as possibly too much of a restriction and it was suggested that food not be prohibited, but only healthy choices be offered.
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to accept #4 of the Wellness
Regulations as written. Seconded by Don
DeFedele.
It was discussed that celebrations are out of hand at the elementary schools. This regulation is not prohibiting celebrations, just food. This has been discussed with the principals and they have agreed with this language.
Amendment to the motion was made by Bill Mudge to strike the words “is
prohibited”.
Don DeFedele did not allow the amendment as it changes the motion.
Amendment to the motion was made by Janice DeFrances to strike “These
foods can be made available through the school district food services
department”. Seconded by Bill Mudge.
Vote to approve 5 to 1 with Denise Coppa voting no.

amended:
Janice DeFrances Yes Bill

Item IV-A (Request for use of the high school football field) was moved
to this point in the agenda.
Aaron Thomas, Director of Athletics/Student Activities, reviewed the history of the past and present high school football field. There was a study done in 1995-96 in which 141 games were played on the field and it became extremely dangerous. There was a proposal that the new field be Astroturf if that many games were to be played. That was not done and the current field is sand based which is good for approximately 50-60 games. If there are more than that played on the field it would have to sit unused for 6-12 months.
We now have 47 games scheduled on the field, not including playoffs, which could increase it to 53.
Mr. Thomas stated that we
do not allow our Freshman or JV teams to play on the field and to allow outside
teams to play would be upsetting to them.
These are also not just kids from
The games are now set up so that we can maintain the field.
As an alternative, Mr. Thomas suggested hosting an American Youth Football night in which they would be recognized with a special halftime ceremony.
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to accept Mr. Thomas’ report. Seconded by Barry Martasian.
Bill Mudge would like to allow the team to play for at least one day, which would be six games.
Mr. Thomas noted that if you open the field for one group, you open it for all groups.
Mrs. Cockerill thought the host night was a wonderful suggestion and asked if the kids could make a few play at halftime.
Mr. Thomas replied that they allow the cheerleaders to perform during that time and there is a time limit to halftime.
Don DeFedele commented that the Jaguars are a great organization, but he could not vote in favor of them using the field. We don’t allow all high school kids to use the field, and the Jaguars have a facility to play on. He was concerned with overuse of our field and wants to keep a great high school field.
Bucky Brennan stated that he thinks the taxpayers would be upset if the field was overused and it couldn’t be used at all.
Vote to accept Mr. Thomas’ report:
unanimous to approve.
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to deny the request for use of the high
school football field by the Jaguars.
Seconded by Don DeFedele.
Vote to approve 5 to 1 with Bill Mudge voting no.
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to approve the remainder of the consent
agenda with the exception of item H-2.
Seconded by Janice DeFrances.
Bill Mudge questioned item G-2 and asked when we implemented a kindergarten transition program.
Mr. Daly explained that we have had this program for 2 – 3 years and it is grant funded.
Mr. Mudge stated that we did not do this last year and did not use the CSR funds.
Mr. Daly disagreed and told Mr. Mudge that we did have this program last year.
Don DeFedele stated that this program is not on the agenda. This is an appointment of people only.
Mr. Mudge submitted a spreadsheet that he had compiled. (Appendix D)
Motion was made by Denise Coppa to end debate. Seconded by Barry Martasian.
