Date 10/17/2020 Dear Staff, Students, and Families, During these difficult times where we are seeing the impact of Covid-19 in our communities, we understand the worry and concerns that present themselves. We want to let you know that our staff and students continue to do a tremendous job following the health and safety guidelines. We also are working diligently to provide information to our community as quickly as possible. With that, we also need to provide the appropriate information that is given from the CDC in a rather formal way when we have a positive case. This letter is to share that there has been an individual associated with the Vivian E. Hussey School who has recently been identified with positive Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) case. There is a possibility that other staff or students came in contact with this individual and therefore may be exposed to the virus. We are informing you out of an abundance of caution. Please monitor yourself/your student for signs and symptoms. Call a health care provider if symptoms start. It is important that you call a health care facility before you show up in person. And please, stay home if you are sick. School representatives have contacted those directly who have been identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive. The CDC will also be contacting these families as well as any others who may be identified as close contacts as contact tracing begins. Close contacts will be asked to quarantine for 14 days from last exposure to the positive individual. A negative test result does not release an individual from quarantine. COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that ranges from mild to severe. It can be more severe in adults 60 years and older and in those with underlying conditions. The virus mainly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes and an uninfected person breathes in the virus. Signs and symptoms include: • fever or chills • new loss of taste or smell • cough • sore throat • shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • congestion or runny nose • fatigue • nausea or vomiting • muscle or body aches • diarrhea • headache Please keep in mind that many things can cause respiratory illness, so students and staff should be up-to-date on influenza and routine vaccinations. Maine CDC recommends preventive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These measures include proper handwashing with soap and warm water, which is especially important after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. When soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands and avoid close contact with people who are sick. Cover your cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. For general COVID-19 questions, dial 211 (or 1-866-811-5695). You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211 or email info@211maine.org. Call a health care provider for questions about your symptoms. More information can be found at www.maine.gov/dhhs/coronavirus or www.cdc.gov/coronavirus. Any changes to the current situation will be relayed to our families as quickly as possible. Please understand that our goal is to keep all of our students and staff safe. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

October 16, 2020 Dear Noble Community, Last Friday, Governor Mills’ Administration, along with the Department of Education, updated County colors across the entire state. At that time, York County remained designated as Yellow Status due to the number of identified COVID 19 cases across the towns in the County. Today, Governor Mills’ Administration released an update for York County and three other counties across the state. York County is designated as Green. This color designation shift from Yellow to Green does not impact the hybrid school model we are following right now, but it does have an impact on Noble High School Athletics. When a County is designated as Green, school athletics may occur in a very modified fashion following Health and Safety Guidelines established by the Maine Principals Association and “approved” by the Maine CDC and DOE. Our Athletic Director, Aaron Watson; Assistant Athletic Director, Aaron Moore; or our fall sport-specific coaches will be providing additional information over the next few days but we wanted to provide this timely update today. Please also be aware that although York County is currently designated as Green, we will continue to be evaluated routinely (next Friday is another color designation). If at any point the County is designated as Yellow or Red we will reevaluate our sports plan. This news today is an encouraging start! Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

Virtually present: 21 Public Input… Minutes were tabled at this point There were 20 in the audience. Public Input Questions and responses are here. Audra shared Compiled Data from the District todate. Educational Programming: Review Start of School for Fall 2020 Ms. Schaeffer shared her concerns regarding opening in person (in a hybrid fashion) vs. remote. She also shared her concerns regarding the ability to get tested and how difficult that is. There is a concern that we might not be able to get buy in from all of our families for the protocols. She shared her concerns regarding the hybrid plan and not wanting our district to be a guinea pig. She asked that we allow the district to start in remote and then determine if we can go into the hybrid mode in the future. There was considerable conversation regarding whether or not to go remote on September 8th or start with the hybrid model. Many board members felt that it was important to go forward in a hybrid fashion in order to allow students to attend in person as much as possible. It was clear that all members of the board had given this considerable thought and that there was much emotion regarding both sides of the circumstances that our school system finds itself in. All members were respectful of each other's opinions and thoughts. Mr. Doiron made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Potter that we move forward with the hybrid plan beginning September 8th with orientation and the full blown hybrid beginning on September 14th.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING August 4, 2020 A meeting of the Board of Directors was held virtually on August 4, 2020 at 7:00 pm, with all members present except Travis Doiron and Rebecca Hopper. Ms. Mallett, Berwick Board Member shared the explanatory statements regarding public input. Changed the public input to the end. Questions may be submitted online on a form that can be found on the website- questions will be read to the Board. Public Input: None at this time. Mr. Doiron entered the meeting. Linda Corliss made the motion and was seconded by Nancy Neubert to accept the Minutes of July 16, 2020 as amended. All members voted and the motion was passed. Ms Beauvias spoke about the 3 tiered system being proposed for the 2020-21 school year. On July 17th Governor Mills issued guidelines to School Districts for reopening schools in the fall. The guidelines are based on a three tiered color coded system to designate Covid-19 risk by County in the State of Maine. RED: Categorization as “red” suggests that the county has a high risk of COVID-19 spread and that in-person instruction is not advisable. YELLOW: Categorization as “yellow” suggests that the county has an elevated risk of COVID-19 spread and that schools may consider hybrid instructional models as a way to reduce the number of people in schools and classrooms at any one time. GREEN: Categorization as “green” suggests that the county has a relatively low risk of COVID-19 spread and that schools may consider in-person instruction, as long as they are able to implement the required health and safety measures. Schools in a “green” county may need to use hybrid instruction models if there is insufficient capacity or other factors (facilities, staffing, geography/transportation, etc.) that may impact full implementation of the health and safety requirements. Ms Beauvais presented examples of remote schedules, hybrid schedules, considerations and challenges that are under consideration. Complete presentation may be seen here. Public Input After much discussion, the Board spoke about when they would be able to vote on an opening plan. The Board asked Ms Beauvias that if a remote meeting were to be called on Thursday, would this give the Administration enough time to to “tweak” the plan?

September 4, 2020 Dear Noble Families; This notice is written to relay a quick update. Earlier this afternoon, Governor Mills’ administration designated York County as Yellow status. This is a change from the Green status we previously fell under for the past few weeks. While we are not the Maine CDC or DHHS, this shift in color designation is not surprising due to some recent reports coming out of the county. While our Fall School Task Force and the Administrative Team were working on developing our Red, Yellow, and Green Plans, for the 2020-20201 school year, and following all the Health and Safety Guidelines, our Hybrid Plan was developed clearly to address the times York County designation would shift from Green to Yellow. We are good to go! The week of September 8th is scheduled as Orientation for kindergarten through twelfth grade students. Orientation is planned and developmentally appropriate to each grade level. We are looking forward to welcoming all of our students back to school. Not only will orientation be a great time to see our students faces (whether that be in-person on a school campus or “live” on Google Meets) but it will also be a time to review the Health and Safety requirements of wearing a face mask/covering, practices social distancing, and hand washing hygiene. We have heard from a lot of families that students are excited to start the school year, see school staff, and friends. We are looking forward to that as well. Thank you for your support as we officially kick off the 2020-2021 school year! Sincerely, Audra E. Beauvais

August 20, 2020 Dear Noble Families; This is sent to provide the most current update from MSAD #60. It summarizes current information on our school opening followed by the latest health related guidelines including symptom screening and illness in school. The Board of Directors, at their August 17th meeting, approved school to begin on September 8, 2020 with our hybrid model. It is very important to state that should health and safety conditions change, either from State guidelines or local indicators, we will be prepared to implement “full remote learning” for all kindergarten through grade twelve students. This change would be necessary in order to mitigate the impact if community health metrics indicate a high level of risk. We strongly suggest that all families prepare a “back up” plan should it become necessary for us to have to move quickly to a remote learning option. School will begin the week of September 8th with specific days dedicated to various Student Orientations for kindergarten through grade nine students. Tenth through twelfth grade students will participate in remote orientation. As a District, we felt it was important to transition students back to “in person” instruction slowly. Those students moving to new locations or at transitional grades will be able to become familiar with their new setting and surroundings. Specific detailed information from your child’s school regarding orientations will be forthcoming but for planning here is the schedule for the “in-person” orientation: September 8th- District Kindergarten by appointment, Grade 5 Lebanon students, All Grade 6. September 9th- District Kindergarten, All Grade 7. September 10th- All Grade 1, All Grade 3, Grade 5 Berwick students, All Grade 8. September 11th- All Grade 2, All Grade 4, Grade 5 No. Berwick students, All Grade 9. September 14th- Hybrid Schedule Implementation. . If you registered your child for the Noble Remote Academy option of learning you will be receiving specific grade level information separately from this correspondence. The Noble Remote Academy model takes into account the best practices for each grade level band regarding screen time, direct instruction, practice, and independent work. The remote schedule for a first grade student will look different than that of a sixth grader, etc. as we follow those best practices. During the Public Input phase of the School Board meeting there were a few questions about how can parents/families help prepare students for school. You can help tremendously in the following areas: Face masks/coverings are required. Review the importance of this requirement in the school setting and on the bus. Have your child practice wearing a face mask/covering each and every day. Slowly increase the time your child is wearing the face mask/covering throughout the day. For older children please stress the importance of wearing the face mask and practicing social distancing. These two areas are so significant in allowing us to go forward in keeping our schools open and with additional in-person learning. Work on effective hand washing strategies and how to use hand sanitizer. Both of these will be reviewed in school, but practicing this at home will help establish good routines and efficiency. Please be aware that if you plan to travel, prior to your student’s first day, to locations other than the five states cleared by Governor Mills’ administration (NH, VT, CT, NY, NJ) there is a 14 day quarantine upon return. Please visit: https://www.maine.gov/covid19/ for further information. The next several pages have been compiled by our Head Nurse, Amy Creighton. The information reflects the most up-to-date guidelines established by the Maine CDC, DHHS, and Governor Mills’ administration. We will continue to update you should we receive changes from the above agencies. Again, we thank you for your assistance as we keep the health and safety of our children and staff the forefront of our work. Regards, Audra E. Beauvais

Greetings, During the August 4, 2020 MSAD #60 Board of Directors Meeting, District Administration presented a Fall Reopening Draft Proposal. That meeting was streamed live. It is currently available to be viewed on BC/TV . At the conclusion of the presentation, Board Members and District Administrators fielded over seventy questions all of which are included in the above recordings. We strongly encourage you to view the meeting if you are able to do so. Included with this correspondence is the presentation from the meeting itself. It explains not only the strict requirements and guidelines school district’s need to adhere to per Governor Mills’ administration, the Maine CDC and Department of Education, but also explains the MSAD #60 Fall Reopening Plan proposal. The last pages of the presentation lists some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) we received last evening. Thank you, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

July 31, 2020 Dear Noble Families, Earlier today, Governor Mills released updated guidance to assist school communities in making their decisions about how to resume instruction this fall in the face of COVID-19. This guidance includes a color coded Health Advisory System that classifies counties’ relative risk as well as updated requirements for schools to safely reopen. The Health Advisory System categorizations are defined as follows: RED: Categorization as “red” suggests that the county has a high risk of COVID-19 spread and that in-person instruction is not advisable. YELLOW: Categorization as “yellow” suggests that the county has an elevated risk of COVID-19 spread and that schools may consider hybrid instructional models as a way to reduce the number of people in schools and classrooms at any one time. GREEN: Categorization as “green” suggests that the county has a relatively low risk of COVID-19 spread and that schools may consider in-person instruction, as long as they are able to implement the required health and safety measures. Schools in a “green” county may need to use hybrid instruction models if there is insufficient capacity or other factors (facilities, staffing, geography/transportation, etc.) that may impact full implementation of the health and safety requirements. Governor Mills has categorized York County as Green. As stated above, schools in a “Green” county may need to use a hybrid model (a combination of in-person and remote) if there is insufficient capacity or other factors listed above. Within the next few days you will be receiving detailed information regarding the start of school in MSAD #60. Our Fall School Task Force and Administrative Team have been working since May with constantly changing information to create safe and viable plans. The models take into account all the Health and Safety Requirements and the most updated information from the State of Maine, Maine Department of Education, Health and Human Services, and The Center for Disease Control and Prevention. We very much understand the desire and necessity for families to have concrete information from MSAD #60 as soon as possible. It is our goal as a school administrative unit to safely bring as many students as possible back to school. I thank you for your patience during this unpresented time as we continue to respond to the most up-to-date information. Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

July 7, 2020 Dear NOBLE Families; I hope everyone has been able to enjoy the warmer weather and had opportunities to get outside each day. This is my first official communication since assuming the role of Superintendent of Schools July 1st. I wanted to provide a brief update from our district-wide Fall School Task Force. The Task Force has a wide range of representation from Kindergarten through Grade Twelve and includes not only administrators, teachers and building staff, but also Transportation, Food Service, Maintenance, Athletics, and Health Specialists. The Task Force has been working for weeks on different plans taking into account initial staff, family, and student surveys and in collaboration with regional and state leaders. At this time there are a few things we would like you to know: Over the next few days please expect to see a survey come out from the school district. That survey is a follow up from the survey many of you competed during remote learning. Your input is invaluable to the Task Force moving ahead so we thank you in advance for taking a few minutes to complete the survey. We will use your feedback to assist us as we build a safe model for our students and staff. Very soon, the Maine CDC and Maine Department of Education are expected to provide more guidelines and recommendations which will help us solidify the best action plan come September. Please note that we will work diligently once we have the latest recommendations. We are well aware of how important it is for everyone in the community to know what school will look like in the fall. Finally, there are many, many factors coming into play as we work to create a plan. Flexibility is going to be key because once we have identified the plan itself the work continues. This is a fluid situation and we will need to continue to monitor the latest information from the Maine CDC and Maine Department of Education and potentially adjust the plan should heath factors change. We will communicate in a timely manner as we work though this unprecedented time. We are committed to do the best for our students. Thank you for your patience and support. Sincerely, Audra E. Beauvais

June 30, 2020 Good day NOBLE Nation, As the last stretch of my superintendent leadership role comes to a close, I want to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to, appreciation for, and well wishes to each of you. The last eight years provided me with an educational home that exceeded my hopes when I joined the district in 2012. I found so many kind and friendly people, hard workers, and just plain good folks that I could not have imagined ending my career elsewhere. Over four decades in Maine Schools… I’ve learned during some of my experiences with some educational leaders how to lead. My mentor Alan Hawkins, who recently passed away, is certainly the number one person I wish to thank. Alan was all about relationship building, as he knew everything else would fall into place. I also learned from some of my past experiences how not to lead, and those lessons were equally as valuable. When I first considered administration 25 years ago, I had guidelines I promised myself I would follow: Greet everyone you pass by, and treat everyone with respect and dignity. Show people you genuinely care about them. Be willing to do the hard things. Afterall, anyone can do the easy things. Exemplify a strong work ethic, one aimed at continuous improvement. Remember… It’s about the kids, stupid! (Referring to myself) COVID-19 has thrown a significant obstacle into all of our paths. None of us wanted the school year to end as it did, and I never could have imagined this would be how my career would end. Please remember, if you have a lemon, make a lemonade! (Carnegie) As I listen to regional superintendent stories about the last twelve weeks, I am proud to have been in NOBLE where things seemed to go a little bit better for most people. In closing, thank you all for the opportunity to get to know you. I wish you well and hope our paths will cross again. I am so pleased to leave you in the good hands of Ms. Audra Beauvais. STAY NOBLE! Best wishes, Steve Connolly Soon-To-Be Retired MSAD #60 Superintendent

June 25, 2020 Good day NOBLE Nation, It is our hope that this letter finds you well. We share this message to provide you with up-to-date information regarding district summer athletics plans. York County Superintendents recently agreed that there will be no face-to-face athletic work with students, including skills training no earlier than at least Monday, August 3rd. This also includes non-athletic student activities. It is also important to note that this date is subject to change. A few other important notes: (1) We will not be alone in this decision; other counties are close to making the same determinations. (2) It is possible you will see the Maine Principals’ Association release guidelines for a July 6th start date for face-to-face, non-sport specific physical conditioning. The guidelines restricting face-to-face activities no earlier than at least Monday, August 3rd by the York County Superintendents supersedes the MPA guidelines. (3) While we cannot meet face-to-face, coaches from ANY season are allowed to communicate with students virtually. Coaches can send workouts to students; however, they cannot encourage or require students to do any activities together, rather, only activities that can be conducted individually or with family members. (4) Prior to August 3, organized practices are not allowed for district athletics or activities. Non-school clubs will also follow the current restrictions concerning organized activities, if those activities are scheduled to occur on school grounds. We understand that you are all eager to get started. We are confident coaches are working hard to provide you with the best guidance during this difficult situation. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual student-athlete to do his /her part. Encourage each other, check-up on your teammates, make sure they are working hard but also that they are doing well; it’s important that we take care of each other during this time. Stay safe, work hard, and STAY NOBLE! MSAD #60 Administration

OTHER LOCAL TAX REVENUES FOR THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL BUDGET ARTICLE 13: The School Board recommends that the District raise and appropriate $5,740,421.00 in additional local funds, which exceeds the State’s Essential Programs and Services allocation model by $5,740,421.00 as required to fund the budget recommended by the School Board. The School Board gives the following reasons for exceeding the State’s Essential Programs and Services funding model by $5,740,421.00: Some curriculum decisions that the Board of Directors has made and our communities have supported, such as full time nurses and guidance counselors in each schools, as well as reasonable class sizes. Fundamentally, however, the primary reason is that the EPS formula does not fully recognize all of the costs necessary to maintain school programs and services. State Mandated Explanation: The additional local funds are those locally raised funds over and above the District’s local contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act and local amounts raised for the annual payment on non-state funded debt service that will help achieve the District budget for educational programs.
