Ms. McCormack is concerned that if specialists are shared amongst many buildings, relations with students and communities will be effected. Jeramy Caston of Berwick, came forward to acknowledge that the cost of everything in life has gone up, gasoline, electricity and food. It is unrealistic to believe that school budgets won’t increase. Mr. Caston believes that most parents think the same way. He isn’t sure how to make the budget work and what programs should be cut, but his hope is that the School Board does not cut the Arts and Excel budgets. Mallory Prince of Lebanon, who is a parent and a teacher in the District.

Ms. Lorenzo has been a teacher for 20 years and teachers are now expected to do more with less. She would like to know what parents can do to keep the teachers that MSAD 60 has. Gwen Durodemi, a resident of North Bewick and a parent. Ms Durodemi would like to invite the Board into the schools. If the Board would like a primary source as to how the numbers will effect students and staff directly, please reach out to her. Sharon Taylor, North Berwick resident and District Librarian.

SRRF Grant Discussion and Vote The Superintendent shared with the board an overview of the SRRF Grant Summary. Mr. Tabor made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler to approve and submit the intent to accept the SRRF funding through the state of Maine. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Financial Summary Ms. Van Campen, business manager, shared with the board the updated financial statement. The board asked a few questions regarding electricity rates. SRO Continued Discussion There was further discussion regarding the SRO officer. Ms. Travers asked what an SRO day looks like. Ms. Austin explained that a large piece of the day would be community policing. Making connections with students, discipline issues with students and bullying. School and student safety is the most important function. Ms. Travers has a concern that a police officer being asked to discipline a student, and that if a student gets hurt they will be liable. Ms. Neubert is very supportive of the SRO. In her experience in other schools, the SROs build relations with students and families, get to know the students that needed extra guidance. Those officers are trained for difficult situations. Ms. Whalen asked clarifying questions about the DARE program. Ms. Austin briefly explained that it is a program that runs weekly lessons for approximately 8 weeks.  Ms. Beauvais went on to say that we have used our SROs in the past for custody paperwork that has been submitted to the district and interpretation from a law enforcement perspective. Ms. Stanton asked what does the Lebanon community feel about it and are they going to block payment? Mr. Tabor doesn’t think it is feasible for Lebanon, so he believes only the middle and high school. Ms. Wheeler feels that the bigger issue is the time of response. We have a school, in Lebanon, that does not have a guaranteed response time, along with the other benefits of having an SRO. Ms. Austin suggested a community event that all of Lebanon could participate in and fill out an exit ticket. Employment: Leave Of Absence: Ms. Desiree Labbe, Grade 1 Teacher at Hanson Elementary School, is requesting to take a leave of absence for the 2024-25 school year. Ms. Wheeler  made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to approve the leave of absence for Ms. Labbe. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Superintendent Update The Superintendent shared Amanda McIntire, a math coach, has created a podcast that is on the website and the newsletter called, “Monthly Math Minute”. The Superintendent shared Love the Bus Month and the Berwick Community Media featured 2 of our drivers, Janet and Joelle, and was extremely well done. It can be viewed on our website. There was a question from a Board member regarding the prevalence of vaping at the Middle School. There is an increase in vaping at both the high school and the middle school. When students at the middle school are confirmed as vaping the consequences are suspensions as well as a course with the health coordinator that focuses on the facts, dependency, healthy alternatives and focusing on next steps to avoid vaping. Mr. Archambault reports that the course is pretty well received and has opened students' eyes. There are two levels that are happening. Students who are very dependent on nicotine and its chronic piece and we are very focused on that. Then there are students that try it and get caught and it’s a one off. At the high school we are piloting a vape detector and it has been successful. We will be expanding them in the future. Celebrations Ms. Austin shared that back in December a large group of people came together to talk about the struggles in the community. They broke up into 3 smaller groups. One focuses on mentoring that Mr. Dufort leads. We have high school and middle school students working together. The Berwick Recreation Department is increasing their mentoring program so we are working together to focus on digital safety. Public Input Charlie Galemmo of North Berwick, shared with the board his thoughts about the SRO in Lebanon and deferring the cost to Berwick and North Berwick tax payers when Lebanon decided they did not want a police department. Mr. Mark Rouillard of North Berwick asked a question of the board whether or not we would allow carrying a long gun in the schools. Vaping can not be stopped in the schools, it should be up to our legislatures. Mr. Eustaquio Dones, teacher and Communication Director for MSAD 60, shared his appreciation of the increased attendance at the board meetings. He asked that if you would like to come into the schools, he would like to create the opportunity for the members of the public and for the board to see what an actual day in the schools looks like. He feels the public would be really impressed. Mr. Jon Hall, a teacher at Noble Middle School and parent in North Berwick, shared his concerns regarding education, curriculum and school boards are under attack. People in the audience have been saying things that are appalling, in public records and then have the audacity to question the curriculum of teachers. Teachers don’t feel safe, not about people carrying guns around, but the silent majority of our three towns who believe in the legal system, the democratic system, think service in the military or as a public official, we need to educate the “democratic mob” and create educated citizens who can vote and work together as a community. He fought for public education. Right now he feels like people are fighting against public education. He really hopes that our community members can come out and vote. Adjournment: Ms. Janousek made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Tabor to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 8:13  pm.

Public Input: Mr. Charles Galemmo of North Berwick, came forward to share his concern regarding the talk of arming staff/teachers in schools. He shared that the training necessary for carrying weapons in a school setting is significant. You have two choices, either determine that the risk isn’t great enough to fund or you spend the funds for a law enforcement officer. Ms. Valerie Higgins of Lebanon Maine shared her concerns regarding her grandson. She feels that there has been threatening bullying and intimidation by the administration regarding his attendance and immunizations.

This data is not for public consumption yet via the Department of Education, but Dr. Swiger is sharing it for the board’s consumption and review. Board-Copies Board members asked some specific questions regarding the presentation and the data. Are we looking to increase our data and to what degree. 85% for our students is the overall goal for students to meet in reading and mathematics. We are showing good growth in reading but math is an area of concern and we have reviewed and revamped our curriculum to address the concerns. The change in curriculum does take a time frame to show the results of the changes. Dr. Swiger also shared contact information for the Maine Department of Education data team leader for the board to reach out to directly if they’d like more specific state information and the psychometrics of the testing protocols. krista.averill@maine.gov Dr. Swiger noted that the assessment at the state level has changed every 2 years over the past ten years and thus the actual trends of data are not easily assessed. However, we are consistently tracking our data within our programs and utilizing the information to inform and improve practice. School Revolving Renovation Fund Grant Update Denise Van Campen, Business Manager shared with the board an overview of the SRRF projects and noted that we were approved for multiple projects.  The board was given overviews of each of the projects and was told that we would review them at a future meeting so that board members could have time to digest the information before making a decision. We need to be poised to have a discussion and potential vote at the Feb. 15th meeting. Noble Community Employer Appreciation Breakfast Update The Assistant Superintendent shared with the board an overview of the Noble Community Appreciation breakfast that took place January 14 at Noble High school. Although the weather was dicey, over 50 people representing 25 employers in our district (and in the surrounding areas) joined the conversation that was orchestrated by our Transition Coordinator and our External Learning Opportunity staff who work with a variety of students in the district. They asked groups of people to answer questions regarding needed skill sets in the employees who are entering their doors and also shared specific needs of employers in the overall job market. An emphasis from all parties was in the area of soft skills: interpersonal skills, communication, leadership, problem solving, etc. This is the first gathering of this group and the team will follow up with another meeting likely in the late spring to encourage more communication. Several board members were in attendance as well. Employment: Leave Of Absence: Cassie Thompson, English Teacher at Noble High School, is requesting to take a leave of absence beginning for the 2024-25 school year.  Ms. Wheeler   made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Travers to approve the leave of absence for Ms. Thompson.

The Superintendent shared an update on student enrollment at Sanford Regional Technical Center where many of our students attend in their junior and senior years. In 2019- 410 students attended SRTC from many sending schools. In  2023- 645 students attended. Each year our applications increase and this year we had 118 students accepted.  Not all of our students are getting into these programs and the future looks to be even more competitive.

Mr. Roger Link, North Berwick, noted that he works for Pratt Whitney, and also noted that Pratt Whitney is looking for employers for their machining programs. He wondered about partnerships and classes to teach machining in our schools. Why can’t we have a program here in the school rather than send them to SRTC? Mr. Chris Whitley, of North Berwick, shared with the board that he has been called back to Pratt to help as there just are not enough skilled workers coming into the workforce.

Public Input:  Mr. Ken Dutch, of North Berwick, shared that one of his customers shared that a 17 year old had witnessed a drug transaction in the bathroom at NHS. Mr. Joe Rafferty, State Senator for District 34, asked to speak. The Chair gave him permission. He wanted to stop in and introduce himself as a potential resource regarding legislation etc. He also wants to commend the board as well as boards  are facing many challenges and he encouraged the board to continue working together with all the constituents involved (staff, parents, students, administrators etc).  Clearly we will not be successful if you’re not all moving in the same direction.

Don Bresnahan Mechanical Services: The Superintendent invited Mr. Don Bresnehan of Mechanical Services to speak to the board regarding some of the capital improvement projects that have been addressed already in various school buildings and discuss future projects. This presentation is also in reference to the School Revolving Renovation Funds grant application that we made in October and the board will have to make a final decision after Feb. 1st when we are notified if we are grant recipients. The projects are those that have been in our capital plan for a lengthy period of time. Replacing HVAC equipment is a difficult task as we balance the other aspects of our budget. Utilizing the funds that are potentially provided through the state funding process makes the most of taxpayer dollars. LD 705 is a state law that requires all school districts to have ventilation air in all of their buildings as it reduces the spread of contagious disease but also provides improved cognitive learning ability. Also as we put in new equipment we are hoping to reduce the cost of utilities and maintenance with more efficient units. In phase 1 we focused on three buildings NMS, Hussey and NHS: heating systems, ventilation systems and lighting which need to be addressed at 20-25 years (end of useful life).  The goal is to take advantage of the state programs that are providing funds for facility improvements. Slide Show Presentation Financial Summary December 2024: Denise Van Campen, Business Manager, shared with the board the updated Financial Summary for the end of December 2023. We are half way through the year and have approximately 50%. We are running on track at this time. SRO Grant Discussion Continuation The Assistant Superintendent shared with the board an overview of the process and the figures associated with the Lebanon Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) potential position. The York County Sheriff’s office wrote a Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant to secure funding for SROs in local schools. They were approved and we are one of the systems that they would like to work with to provide coverage in our Lebanon schools. She shared the overview of the grant as to what it will cover and what the broken down costs for the district would be over the next three years of the grant. The following “overview” is a range of costs for the district. Lebanon SRO Cost share The Assistant Superintendent also shared the results of a parent survey asking if parents support having an SRO in the Lebanon schools. It was a very simple survey. There were 164 responses. 152 answered yes. 10 answered no. And 2 did not respond stating that more information was necessary before responding.

Good Evening, There is a varied forecast across the three towns from this evening into the morning hours. Given the fluctuation of predicted snow accumulation, there will be a 2 hour delay on Monday, January 29, 2024.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF January 4, 2024 Current Board Members- North Berwick-  Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Joshua Tabor Berwick- Travis Doiron, Elva Lovejoy, Peg Wheeler Lebanon- Victoria Travers, Jeridene Basko, Nancy Neubert A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person in North Berwick, Maine on January 4, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. with all members attending except Ms. Neubert. There were 24 in the audience. Mr. Travis Doiron of Berwick read the public input statement. Public Input: Ms. Emily Drummond of Berwick shared her concerns regarding a community matter.  She is concerned about the racism that is going on at Noble Middle School. Mr. Robert Travers, of Lebanon, shared his concerns regarding the agenda and movement of an item. Mr. Mike Barker, of North Berwick, shared his input about the SRO position in Lebanon that was discussed. He feels that the bigger discussion is with the town of Lebanon and the potential of a contract deputy for the town. The two towns that provide a police department are able to provide an SRO for the Middle School and Noble High School. He feels that the district should not necessarily be paying for an officer in Lebanon as there is no police force there.  He feels like we would be extending the school district budget to provide police support to the town of Lebanon.  He feels that’s not the district’s responsibility. He urged the board and the residents of Lebanon to reach out to the select board and encourage them to enter into a contract with the Sheriff’s department for the town rather than have the school district take on that financial obligation. Mr. Mark Cahoon, North Berwick, shared his feelings about the school resource office and the fact that the governor has announced that there is a surplus and we should be accessing that funding rather than the local funds. He feels strongly that the safety of the schools is very important, but that the local taxpayers should not be responsible for the cost. Minutes: Mr. Doiron  made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Tabor to table  the minutes of the December 21, 2023 meeting until the next meeting.  All members voted in favor except Ms. Whalen and the motion passed. Adult Education: Ms. Nichole Ivey, adult education director, gave an overview of the program here with MSAD 60. Adult Education Presentation to School Board Ms. Janousek noted the positive interactions she observed at the Noble Adult and Community Education (NACE) graduation ceremony in June of 2023.  It was heartwarming to see the support of families for their graduates and the care that staff showed toward the NACE students. Project Potential: The board heard from the Superintendent and Business Manager regarding some of the larger ticket items that we need to be thinking about as we look at our capital improvement projects. She shared with the board an overview of various financing options that we have utilized in the past and may want to consider for the future:  Financing Options Also discussed and shared was a preliminary list of projects that will need to be considered over the next few years. These include paving, roofing, playgrounds, etc. Capital Improvement Projects to be Considered There was discussion among the board members regarding debt service, expected and acceptable spending on maintenance and facilities, as well as reasonable debt carry. Mr. Tabor asked several questions in regard to this and Ms. Van Campen shared that we would have further discussions regarding the specifics as well as regulations around percentage allowed for reserve funds, etc. in future budget meetings. At the next meeting, Don Bresnehan, of Mechanical Services, will be in to discuss the School Revolving Renovation Funds and the potential projects that we have on the horizon. Employment: None at this time. Superintendent Update: The board discussed having a workshop prior to an upcoming meeting to have our legal representative go over protocols and processes as we head into the budget season. He will facilitate the conversation, provide reminders and allow board members to ask questions. The board agreed to a workshop prior to an upcoming meeting (Date to be determined) beginning at 5:45 pm. The Superintendent will coordinate with the attorney and set a date where the board could all commit. Noble Community Employer Appreciation Breakfast:  The Assistant Superintendent shared that a group of staff at NHS has reached out to community employers inviting them in to a breakfast at NHS on January 24th at 8:30 am to share their appreciation of the work that they do in our community and discuss what the school can do to support and partner with our local businesses. She shared that the team is looking forward to a discussion regarding teaching skills that are necessary in the current job market, including, but not limited to academic and soft skills. She invited board members to attend if they were able and to please RSVP her if they can make it. Other: The Superintendent then updated the board on the ongoing conversation regarding the sound system  in the board meeting and increasing.  We priced out the necessary equipment for increasing sound capacity in the library (aside from what we’ve already done by placing microphones in front of the board members to have better sound quality for our listeners who review the board meetings via the Youtube videos).  The sound system equipment necessary would be in the ballpark of $4000.  We’ve added a live microphone for the public input component of the night which seems to have increased amplification for board members, but we probably need to shift the podium so that our audience can hear more clearly. We also have looked at other spaces to hold the meetings. The lecture hall is one area that has been used in the past for board meetings but the current sound system in there is no longer necessarily viable and the recording component is not able to easily be set up.  We tried, at this board meeting, to provide a personal amplification device to one of the board members to experiment with that avenue. Mr. Tabor suggested that we need to start meeting in a different space that would be more available. Mr. Tabor: He notes that we have been talking a lot about the SRO for Lebanon. But we are talking about school safety overall. Timing is an issue in a district this large.  How quickly our law enforcement can respond to an active shooter in the schools is in question. Are we going to put an SRO in every school we have? What is the direction that we want to go? He asked that we consider the following:  There is one type of school safety protocol in this nation that has not experienced a school shooting and that is staff concealed carry. It is clearly noted on the schools that “our staff is armed to protect our students and school community.” He then went on to discuss the types of weapons that are available: guns where there is a handprint that it will only work for that one person based on the handprint, instead of bullets, beanbags that can be incredibly debilitating but not deadly.  He asked that this suggestion not be just dismissed but looked into. He shared that he believes that if we’re talking truly about school safety, we need to have this discussion publicly. And he then went on to share a document that is focused on NWEA data. He shared it with board members and with audience members. He explained that this is the current standing of MSAD 60 students using the NWEA through year report and National Assessment of Educational Progress for Maine. He explained the NAEP (an achievement test that is used nationally). The Board Chair did ask Mr. Tabor to consider the fact that this is not the process of adding an agenda item and that “other business” is not necessarily the time to provide this type of information. He felt that we had been talking about data but that it had not yet become a formal item on the agenda and he was concerned about that. The Superintendent noted that our Director of Teaching and Learning, Dr. Shannon Swiger, was currently developing a presentation that also encompassed answers to the many specific questions that Mr. Tabor had sent and that we were preparing a time for a full board discussion at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Tabor accepted that this would be discussed in the near future.  There was brief discussion about the handout that Mr. Tabor had already shared and whether or not to provide more of an explanation this evening regarding the handout and then set the item aside for a future meeting. Ms. Whalen made the motion to table the discussion regarding data to a formal agenda item at a future date with a quick explanation of the information presented by Mr. Tabor and Ms. Janousek seconded the motion. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Ms. Whalen noted that teacher of the year awards are currently being brought forward and she encouraged folks to think about the fine educators in our district Ms. Janousek asked for a comprehensive staff survey regarding Mr. Tabor’s suggestion about staff members carrying weapons. She felt it was vital to have staff input prior to even considering this idea. The Assistant Superintendent also noted the fact that carrying weapons on school grounds is illegal in the state of Maine and that a legislative change to the law would have to take place before it could even be considered.  Title 20-A Education 6552 Ms. Travers asked for increased clarification regarding the SRO grant process, length of the grant etc. The Assistant Superintendent clarified that the Sheriff’s department receives the grant which covers approximately 45% of the cost of the SRO officer. The district would then cover the remaining cost of the officer. The grant is for 3 years and at the end of the grant, the finances would need to be considered as a responsibility of the district and potentially (as is the case for the NB and Berwick SROs) the town. For our NB and Berwick SRO at NHS and NMS the district pays the school year contract for an officer for each and the town pays the remaining portion of their yearly salary and benefits. Public Input: Mr. Mark Cahoon, North Berwick, shared that he appreciates that we are reaching out to the local community employers.  He still feels that we need to still have a program for special needs students. Mr. Mark Rouillard, North Berwick, shared that he applauds Mr. Tabor for the idea of staff carrying weapons in the schools. He thinks that teachers carrying guns would benefit the school. He asked about having a police officer with a dog at the entrance to the school either in the entrance or leaving school. Mr. Mike Barker, North Berwick, thanked Mr. Tabor as well for opening up a larger conversation on school safety etc and noted that EMS has also been able to provide training regarding support for staff and administration. He wanted to reiterate The SRO conversation again and that it should go back to Lebanon and have them address the lack of police presence themselves rather than leave it to the school district to cover it. He feels that the onus should be on the town of Lebanon to address this issue. Mr. Brett Little of North Berwick, asked for us to revisit the fact that there is no computer science teacher at Noble High School and that the high tech opportunities are not available at this time. Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(B) Duties of Officials: Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron  to go into executive session for 1 MRSA §405(6)(A) Duties of Officials, Appointees, Employees.  All members voted in favor and the motion passed. In at 8:32. Out at 8:57. Adjournment: Ms. Travers made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 8:57 pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF December 21, 2023 Current Board Members- North Berwick-  Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Joshua Tabor Berwick- Travis Doiron, Elva Lovejoy, Peg Wheeler Lebanon- Victoria Travers, Jeridene Basko, Nancy Neubert A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person in Berwick, Maine on December 21, 2023 at 7:15 p.m. with all members attending. There were 25 in the audience. Ms. Nancy Neubert, the vice chair read the public input statement. Public Input: Ms. Holly Dupuis shared her support for the School Resource Officer within the Lebanon Schools.  She shared her concern about the statements made regarding citizens coming to the help of the schools with weapons.   She asked that we consider metal detectors in the schools to increase the ability to keep schools safe and show that the school board cares. Mr. Mark Rouillard of North Berwick shared his concerns regarding the “expulsion” of his nephew due to a lack of immunizations.  He feels that this is not an issue for the schools to deal with but for parents to deal with. He then noted that the world has changed greatly and that when he was younger there were no shootings, but that kids brought their rifles to school because they hunted before school. He feels that things HAVE changed.  He stated that the reason that the world has changed is because of the education system and what is being taught. Ms. Desiree Labbe, a teacher at the Hanson School in Lebanon, shared a letter that she wrote addressing her support of the SRO in the Lebanon schools as well as her concerns regarding the discussions from specific board members regarding the SRO. Public Input DL Ms. Amanda  Turner, North Berwick, She stated that she is disgusted with MSAD 60 district due to what’s happening in the schools. She shared that her children state they can’t use the bathrooms in the high school etc. due to vaping etc and she is considering pulling her students out of school. Mr. Mark Cahoon, of North Berwick, shared his belief that mental health is one of the biggest concerns and that we need to provide mental health counselors in the schools so that we can provide the services to decrease issues for our children. He also supported the SRO in Lebanon. He felt that funds in Augusta may be available to support the SRO piece. Minutes: Ms. Janousek made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron  to accept the minutes of the December 7, 2023 as amended.  All members voted in favor except Ms. Whalen who abstained and the motion passed. District Feedback before Legislative Session: Representative Tiffany Roberts, shared that she is asking for input from the area before they head into their legislative session.  She shared that she has been to other area school boards and has received questions regarding staffing, minimum salaries, vaping concerns, bus driver shortages, guidance counselor needs, safety grants etc. She noted that we had worked together in the past and have been able to put into legislation consequences for chronic absenteeism.  The Superintendent shared that we are looking for more information about safety grants, implementation of Pre-K programming and funding, space concerns and staff implementation concerns for Pre K. Mr. Tabor shared that he’s concerned about parents and schools and parent partnerships. He’s worried about empowering schools without the empowerment of parents as well. He feels that Covid is a good example of how state and federal mandates and determinations impacted school and parent partnerships.  Schools and parents need to work together. He also pointed out concerns around behavior and that this is a parent issue.  Ms. Roberts asked a clarifying question so that she understands what he is asking for in terms of actionable items as she heads into the legislative session. Ms. Roberts asked that she be able to meet with Mr. Tabor and Senator Rafferty to meet with him or connect with them virtually to discuss further his concerns and allow her to better delineate concerns to be brought forward around his concern around parent and school partnerships. Mr. Tabor responded that he would definitely like to meet and talk about actionable items and open up a public dialogue. Mr. Tabor also shared that he is really concerned about technology use in our student’s lives. Particularly for ages under 13. He quoted information around anxiety and depression and how technology impacts the higher numbers seen in our society. Ms. Roberts also noted the double edged sword in regards to technology and how it impacts our society in general. Ms. Travers of Lebanon noted the US News and World report regarding the ranking of high schools in the state of Maine.  Noble was ranked  as 47th of 111 schools. That puts us at around average. Ms. Travers noted that it’s not what we should be shooting for “average,” but that we should be going for higher scores academically. She noted that she had read an article that stated that Maine Education Commissioner Makin believes that social emotional needs should be placed above academics at this point. (This article was date stamped March 2023)  Ms. Travers shared that she feels that the education in Maine needs to be put back toward academics rather than the social emotional well being. Ms. Roberts noted she would look into the statements that are being referenced. She also asked that our board members go into classrooms and watch what is happening in real time in order to best make decisions for the students in MSAD 60. Mr. Doiron of Berwick, asked Ms. Roberts to potentially encourage the surplus of funds that has been declared in the Governor’s budget to perhaps be given back to the citizens of the state, particularly to the schools. Ms. Basko of Lebanon  asked specifics regarding the Sweetser social workers that are provided space in our schools. She asked if we provided any funds for that. We provide space only and the organization bills insurance for services provided. Any social work services are provided only with parent permission and consent forms signed. Representative Tom Lavigne of Berwick, gave an overview of the process in Augusta. It’s very unique what we have in Augusta.  He noted that this second part of the legislative session is for emergency bills only, so they will deal with very few “new” items. Representative Jeff Adams shared his role in the legislature and asked that people reach out to all three of them with questions and concerns. Financial Summary: Denise Van Campen, Business Manager, shared with the board the updated Financial Summary for the end of November 2023. We are running on track at this time. Employment: LOA: Ms. Lauren Jones, an Occupational Therapist at Noble Middle and  Knowlton Schools, is requesting to take a leave of absence after her maternity leave. Ms.Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Doiron to approve the leave of absence for Ms. Jones. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Resignation: Glenn Hoag, Special Education Teacher, Mary Hurd Academy. Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Travers to approve the resignation for Mr. Hoag. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Superintendent Update: The Superintendent also acknowledged the high school administration, staff and students for their ongoing diligence and following protocols in a difficult situation. The Superintendent shared with the audience that we will be looking at the metal detector component in the budgets and where they would be placed. Ms. Travers asked about if we would be looking just at the high school and the superintendent noted that when we look at safety we look at the entire district and will share information with the board for decision making. The Superintendent noted that in our tours of the buildings, there were some classrooms that did not have flags displayed and that situation has been rectified. The Superintendent updated the board on the open Excel position at the Knowlton School.  We have filled the opening with a long term substitute who is highly qualified and able to fill in for the rest of the year and he will be starting right after break. The position will be readvertised in the spring. Other: Mr. Doiron asked to follow up with the flag etiquette at each of the schools.  We will follow up with all of the staff who manage the flags and be sure they are up to date on daily requirements regarding flags at half mast etc. A board member asked about the student representative. The superintendent noted that we are still working with the high school administration to find representatives of the student population. Mr. Tabor had shared a request with Ms. Lovejoy regarding NWEAs, etc. Ms. Lovejoy noted that she shared that request with the Superintendent and they will follow up with it. Ms. Travers asked about a follow up with activities and events that occurred in the past couple of weeks: Math Meet, holiday concerts and a movie night with the PTO. Ms. Basko shared her response to public input and the concerns about comments regarding the fact that our citizens in Lebanon would provide safety support to the schools should something occur. She felt that Sheriff King had highlighted weaknesses in the schools in Lebanon regarding isolation and response time and that she felt that was inappropriate and shined a beacon on the schools.  She felt that it was important for people who are listening or watching the video to know that the town would be supported by armed citizens if necessary so that it was known that the schools are not as vulnerable as was being portrayed.  She felt the need to defend her town. Public Input: Mr. Mark Rouillard, shared his belief that we should look at veterans who are highly skilled and can be supportive of an SRO in a building.  He also noted that Sheriff King should not be bringing out the information regarding the isolation of the Lebanon schools. He noted again his belief around the issues around education and the world at large. Ms. Holly Dupuis felt that Sheriff’s King's statements were appropriate and already public knowledge. She noted that she was glad that Ms. Basko made her statements so that she understood clearly where the Lebanon board member stood. Ms. Kelley Rouillard, noted that she was here for the school board meeting and she didn’t feel that Ms. Basko’s comments were inappropriate. Ms Rouillard asked about the ten Educational Techs needed. Specifically, she wanted to know how many of those were not for behavioral health. The Superintendent noted five were for behavioral health and five for academic. Ms. Rouillard noted that she did not see any advertisements for academic positions. Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(D) Labor Contract Negotiations- Administrators: Ms. Neubert  made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Travers  to go into executive session for Executive Session 1 MRSA §405(6)(D) Labor Contract Negotiations- Administrators.  All members voted in favor and the motion passed.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF December 7, 2023 Current Board Members- North Berwick-  Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Joshua Tabor Berwick- Travis Doiron, Elva Lovejoy, Peg Wheeler Lebanon- Victoria Travers, Jeridene Basko, Nancy Neubert A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person in North Berwick, Maine on December 7, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. with all members attending except Ms. Whalen. There were 14 in the audience. Ms. Nancy Neubert, the vice chair read the public input statement. Public Input: Mr. Jeremy Kasten of Berwick shared his concern regarding the open position of the Excel teacher at the Knowlton School. He shared his support of Ms. Sahaigian who is filling in temporarily and encouraged the board to fill the position as soon as possible. Mr. Kenneth Dutch of North Berwick, shared his concerns regarding his grandson and how he and his daughter in law are being treated.  He feels that the school and administration are threatening when they make statements about the law regarding truancy and implying that they will enlist the North Berwick police to visit the home. He was very unhappy with the whole situation. Minutes: Ms. Wheeler  made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Neubert to accept the minutes of the November 16, 2023 meeting as amended.  All members voted in favor except Ms. Travers and Mr. Doiron who abstained and the motion passed. The Superintendent shared a donation from the Friends of Knights Lacrosse of $11,747.36 to the district 6-12 Lacrosse program. Mr. Tabor asked if a donation such as this is typical, it was noted that this happens occasionally to support programs and is greatly appreciated. Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Janousek to approve the donation. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. The board heard from Sheriff Bill King and Officer Robert Pellerin regarding the potential of a SRO in the Lebanon Elementary School. Sheriff King and Officer Pellerin gave an overview of the benefits through the delivery of a powerpoint.   sro.pptx The board asked some questions regarding the funding and what the ongoing costs would be beyond the 3 years of the grant funding. They also asked about the costs of the current SROs that are in place for Berwick and North Berwick. We will provide that information as we move through the budget process. The board then asked several questions about the call volume in Lebanon at this time and how those calls relate to the schools. One of our Lebanon members noted that there are many well armed residents in Lebanon and would be willing to support the schools in a crisis.  Another board member expressed concern about armed citizens being relied upon for safety in our schools. Heather LaFrance Principal at the Lebanon Schools spoke to her belief that an officer to support the Lebanon schools would be incredibly helpful for a multitude of reasons. Ms. Janousek noted that with the situation that occurred in Sanford last year, it would have been beneficial to have had a police presence in Lebanon for overall peace of mind.  Ms. Basko, shared her opinion that the citizens, who are well armed and many of whom listen to scanners, would be pulling out their guns to support the schools, that Lebanon is not as isolated as people believe.  Other board members spoke to the fact that they wouldn’t want our residents to be relied upon to provide a safe environment for our students if something were to happen. Ms. Lovejoy asked about a survey for families regarding the importance of an SRO in Lebanon. Ms. Lafrance said that she could do that and provide some feedback at a future meeting for the board to reflect upon. The board held a straw poll to determine who feels comfortable moving forward with getting more information regarding an SRO in Lebanon.  Board members indicated that they would like to gather more information. Funding is always a concern and there needs to be consideration for what will be removed from the budget if we determine that an SRO is necessary in Lebanon. Presentation: Mr. Eustaquio Dones shared the work that he has been doing on the website over this semester.   He’s been standardizing the site across the many different pages, updating all of the staff information, etc. He’s added buttons to make it easier to navigate some of the most utilized aspects of the site. He’s simplified the ability to find the most vital information.  Still some pieces to refine and finalize, but a definite upgrade. Check it out for yourself: www.rsu60.org The board thanked Mr. Dones for his hard work. Budget Timeline Update: The Superintendent shared an updated budget timeline with the board for planning purposes. Employment: Ms. Kristen McKenzie, teacher at the Knowlton School, is requesting to take a leave of absence after her maternity leave. Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Janousek to approve the leave of absence for Ms. McKenzie. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Superintendent Update: Transportation update… still down two drivers but have a couple of potential employees in the pipeline. If someone out there is interested, please reach out to our transportation director, Brenda Cravens at (207) 676- 2856. The Superintendent shared with the board that illnesses are upticking among staff and students. We will keep an eye on things as they go along. Parent conferences were well attended in all of our schools.  The next round of parent conferences is in March, 2024. Fall athletics ended and Winter athletics is underway.  Our Rocket League, the E-sports team for Noble, has earned the title of Maine State Champions for E-Sports for their second year in a row. Little Shop of Horrors was presented by the theater department. Well received and a fun play. Other: The Assistant Superintendent shared an overview of the meeting that took place Wednesday which was a community forum with approximately 25. We discussed the community issues that are flaring up in the community and on social media. We have one group that will be working on community awareness focusing on ways to support families in our community. We have one group working on mentoring programs to provide and build positive relationships.  The third group is going to focus more on the intense situations that are taking up quite a lot of resources to address how we can as a community work together. Board members shared their thoughts and ideas about how it is important to bring the community on board and for the district to take this positive focus on the majority of students. Public Input: Lauren Janousek shared that the PTOs have collected over 500 boxes of cereals for the MSAD 60 Backpack Program. The cereal boxes are earmarked to be sent out prior to lengthy vacation weeks. North Berwick and Berwick parades were fun and well attended by our board members and administration. Mr. Cahoon of North Berwick, shared that he feels that we should value the life of the children first. If you have an incident in school, it would be wise to have an SRO. He noted that our governor, Janet Mills, has excess funding and we should reach out to her for funding. He also noted that he feels that the MSAD 60 administration is bullying others at these meetings. Mr. Travers, of Lebanon, shared the US News and World Report that Noble was ranked 47th out of 111 schools. That puts us just above average. He shared the statistics… NHS 94% of students. Science 56% Reading 54% and Mathematics 34%.  These are all above the state average however that means that many students are well below. Mr. Dutch, of North Berwick, shared again his concerns about his grandson. Ms. Berger of Lebanon shared her thanks for the follow up with the SRO. She shared her statistics that the response time in Lebanon can be between 20 and 40 minutes which is can be scary when facing difficult situations.  She noted that she asked Sheriff King to come in to do a  threat assessment of Lebanon and he noted that there were some safety concerns that are being addressed. Ms. Rouillard of North Berwick shared that her belief in the SRO as a good but she’s concerned for the taxpayers and the bottom line. She asked that we keep in mind those considerations as we make decisions going forward. Adjournment: Ms. Janousek  made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Wheeler to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Adjourned at 8:46 pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais

November 4, 2023 Dear Noble Families and Staff, This correspondence is being sent to update you on a situation that the Noble High School Administration in conjunction with the Berwick and North Berwick Police Departments addressed today, Saturday, November 4, 2023. It is important that kindergarten through twelfth grade families have facts as rumors will likely filter into and through social media. High School administrators were notified of a threat made by a Noble High School student toward at least one other student. Upon learning of the threat, school administration immediately contacted both the Berwick and North Berwick Police Departments. It is important to reiterate that while this is an ongoing investigation there are details that can’t be released but we can say that both Police Departments have interviewed and spoken with all involved parties. Administrators and law enforcement are working through policies and procedures to ensure that all students, staff and families remain safe in the buildings and communities. Based on all available information we do not foresee any disruption to MSAD #60 daily operations. This situation was handled swiftly and appropriately by all parties involved. We appreciate the strong and positive working relationship with our local law enforcement. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais

October 26, 2023 Dear Noble Community, We want to take a moment to acknowledge the recent senseless act of violence that occurred in Lewiston last evening. It is devastating on so many levels. We will continue to provide updates as the situation unfolds if it relates to school.

It is all of our responsibility to help children feel supported during these challenging times. Here are some guidelines: Open Communication-Encourage open, honest, and developmentally appropriate discussions with your child. Create a safe space for them to express feelings. Tailor conversations to your student’s age and maturity level. Younger children will likely need simpler explanations while older children may require more detail. Maintain Routine- Consistency and routine can provide a sense of stability during uncertain times. Make sure your student’s routine remains intact as much as possible. Monitor Media Exposure-Limit your child’s exposure to media coverage of the incident. It is important to control the information they consume and ensure it is age-appropriate. Validate Feelings- Acknowledge your child’s feelings and let them know it is normal to feel scared, sad, and confused. Reassure that you are there to support them. School Resources- Our school district has resources and support systems in place to help children cope with traumatic and unsettling events. Our school counselors are available to provide assistance and guidance to students and further resources to parents or families. To further assist you in discussing this incident with your child, here is a compiled list of helpful resources: How to Talk to Kids about Tragedies in the Media (Child Development Institute) Talking to Children about Violence (National Association of School Psychologists) Age-Related Reactions to a Traumatic Event (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network) Assisting Parents/Caregivers in Coping with Collective Traumas (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network) Creating Supportive Environments When Scary Things Happen (Center for Resilience & Well-Being in Schools How To Talk To Your Kids About Difficult World Events How to Talk to Your Child About the News - Kids Health Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers (NASP) Helping Your Children Manage Distress in the Aftermath of a Shooting (American Psychological Association) Tips for Parents on Media Coverage (National Traumatic Stress Network) Please know that you are not alone in navigating this difficult situation.

Emergency Plans The Superintendent shared with the board an overview of our district and school level emergency preparedness plans. The school administrators submit their plans to the superintendent’s office with signatures from our local fire departments and police departments to ensure that they meet the local standards as well as the school standards. Mr. Tabor asked if we had input from the county EMS teams and we shared that we do work with Director Art Cleves of the York County Emergency Management Agency. Delegate Assembly The Superintendent then shared with the board that the Maine School Board Association sends out a call for delegates from each school board to participate in a review of resolutions and have conversations about those resolutions. Typically each board nominates and elects a representative to participate. We are asking for nominations for this year’s delegate. Mr. Tabor shared his thoughts on the MSBA organization and that he is not necessarily in favor of allowing them to reflect his own thinking. This is a volunteer participation activity so if we have no one interested in attending, we do not need to force it. Ultimately, MSBA does currently represent school boards at the state level. It proposes resolutions to be brought to the state level and potentially to legislation. It might be good to have a voice in those resolutions. Anyone interested in participating should reach out to Ms. Jennifer Flewelling, our administrative assistant. Strategic Plan Overview and Update The Assistant Superintendent shared a brief overview of the 2023-2030 Strategic Plan. She went through the following handouts and discussed the process that was undertaken to solicit feedback and determine goals and indicators of success. She shared the overarching goals for the strategic plan and then gave an example from the Community Engagement goal and how we have already implemented activities to increase our connections. We will continue to work with our schools and community going forward and have reviews of the strategic plan on a yearly basis.

The 2021 and 2022 data is from the NWEA MAP testing (this is the North West Educational Assessment which is a nation wide normed test measuring growth in math and reading).

The data from the 2023 school year will not be released until the end of this calendar year.

Summary of Opening Day/Week Attendance… our student attendance has been between 97-99%. 2898 students noted which is 11 students higher than last year at this time. We needed to add an additional kindergarten classroom at NBES due to high enrollments. Other than the heat, we have had a very smooth opening. We are currently down about 6 ed. Tech positions throughout the district which is much better than last year. We are still down just one driver in transportation. The ongoing excessive traffic at the Hussey School at dismissal continues to be problematic and we will be working with the police department, the town and will likely need to develop a plan to address the situation. We will continue to research options and will bring information forward to the board in the future.

September 7, 2023 Good Afternoon, Tomorrow, concludes a very successful opening to the 2023-2024 school year despite the heat and humidity. I would like to relay the following information regarding the forecast and how it relates to school on Friday: School administrators and custodial staff have been monitoring temperatures in classrooms and common areas throughout the schools. This has occurred on a daily basis. As you would expect, temperatures in some rooms are warmer than other rooms, just as some schools are overall warmer than others. Teachers and staff have addressed the increasing temperatures through the use of fans, frequent hydration, low lighting, moving to cooler locations in the buildings, and providing low impact activities so that students do not get overly hot. All this has been helpful as we manage “the dog days of summer” temperatures but we are going to make a change for Friday, September 8, 2023. Due to the fact that some buildings are experiencing a build up of heat from the past few days and haven’t been able to fully cool down, school hours will be modified for Friday. We will be running on a “half day” schedule with the plan to vacate the buildings for the hottest part of the day. Middle school and high school students will be dismissed at 11:15 and elementary students will be dismissed at 12:30. Lunch will be provided prior to student dismissal. Please note that as we navigate the weather and temperatures currently, and heading into the winter months, you as parents/guardians always have the ability to decide whether to send your student to school or hold them out based on your own family circumstances. Should that ever be the case, please communicate that information to your student’s school directly. Thank you to everyone for making this week successful for our MSAD #60 students. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools
