No employment updates. Other Business: The Superintendent shared an email from Heather Brown with a donation for $1600 that is to be split between the Lebanon Schools Art and Music program. Hello my name is Heather Marie Brown... I recently have held a fundraiser in hopes of raising money for the Lebanon Maine Elementary School music and art programs. The fundraiser was held over the past 2 weekends at 2 different events (Higher Education Music and Art festival and The 4×4 Mud Runs) that happened within Lebanon Maine. I worked very hard over the last few months collecting prize donations not only from within the community but from companies all over the United States!! I also went and spoke to the Select Board and contacted the State of Maine to make sure I was doing everything right. I had also reached out the Elementary School and spoke to someone that didn't realize I needed to contact MSAD60 to let them know so I immediately did this once I found out. The original plan was to hold the fundraiser during the event focused on music and art but due to absolutely horrible weather and a few other logistical issues I only had a few hours on that Sunday to do any fundraising and felt that was not enough! So after communicating with the owners of the proving grounds it was decided the best thing I could do in order to raise the most amount of money was to come to their event the following weekend to finish out the fundraiser. I have kept the community updated every step of the way using Social Media. The fundraiser collected donations through several methods... A raffle for prizes, a 50/50 raffle and cash donations. I'm proud to say that between the 2 events I was able to raise $1600!!! ($500 at the first event...$100 cash dropped off at my house and $1000 at the second event) The intent of the money is to be split equally between the Lebanon Maine Elementary School music and art programs. That's $800 to each program!!! I truly hope the teachers will be excited and will be able to do some wonderful things with the money!! Study after study shows that children exposed to music and arts benefit through assistance with memory language and creativity. All areas of extreme importance for a developing brain. I hope everyone can recognize how much effort I have put into this project and truly how much community involvement went into it as well!!! I am forever grateful for this opportunity and the kindness shown by both event owners in regards to giving me the space to achieve this goal! I also truly appreciate the local and national businesses that stepped up to the challenge and provided raffle prizes!!! To me this is a prime example of how we can come together for the greater good!! Thank you for your time. Thank you, Heather Marie Brown Ms. Mallett made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Lovejoy to accept the donation of $1600 for the LES/Hanson music and art program. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. The board had conversation about accessibility of information.

Policy First Reading: IHBAI: SPECIAL EDUCATION INDEPENDENT EVALUATION POLICY The two day new teacher orientation occurred on August 24th and 25th. Topics included a district overview, including a bus tour of the three towns and all schools, technology and curricula expectations and building-based work. The Transportation Department is short four bus drivers. Everyone in the department who has a valid CDL will be driving a bus for the foreseeable future. There are four community members working toward their CDL and once received, will be able to be assigned a bus route. While the Transportation office is staffed to field any questions that come up, the director will be driving a bus route and therefore may not be able to immediately respond to questions directed specifically to her.

As you may know, we are desperately short of Bus Drivers, so you will notice a question allowing you to OPT - OUT of using MSAD #60 transportation at this time. Prompt completion of the Annual update will greatly assist us in refining our bus routes in order to accommodate all families who require transportation. All parents & guardians without an active parent account have received an automated email from infinite campus, with their unique account creation link. If your link has expired, please let us know via the Technology Help Desk. If you have forgotten your Username or Password, please use the related links on the portal page to recover them. Please complete your annual update as soon as possible, with a deadline of August 10th. This will allow us to finalize bus routes and verify proof of residency prior to the start of school.

Dear Noble Community, You have likely seen the news of the horrific elementary school shooting that occurred yesterday afternoon in Uvalde, Texas. Our hearts are heavy as we think about the tragic loss of lives and the impact on the families and community of Uvalde. Coming on the heels of the violence and loss of life in Buffalo, NY just last week, we are compelled to reach out to the Noble community. We understand that whenever there is school violence it causes fear for a number of students, families, and staff. It is difficult to predict how anyone will react to a traumatic event. We have numerous resources in each of the school buildings to help support students and staff if they are feeling scared or anxious. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher, school counselor, or school administrator. We also remain unyielding in our commitment to ensuring the safety of everyone in our schools. We have strong measures in place to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff, and we will continue to assess and shape those measures routinely so they remain as strong as possible. If you would like some guidance about how best to talk to your children about the tragedy in Uvalde yesterday please see the attached document. This document provides some suggestions to start a conversation, but you know your child best. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

May 23, 2022 Dear MSAD #60 Community; This letter is to provide information on a current Transportation Department challenge. Due to a driver shortage, Bus 27 (Tina) will not be able to run as scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

MSAD 60 Budget Book 2022-2023

May 9, 2022 Greetings; As we enter the last stretch of the school year, there has been an increased number of students participating in after school activities. The Athletic, Music, and Theater Departments have seen high student interest and engagement. Other school sponsored groups, such as National Honor Society, continue with their timeline for selection and induction. At the lower grade levels, families are registering children for Kindergarten and may continue to do so as we head into the summer months. There has been a steady uptick in positive COVID cases and overall illnesses across the district. The numbers are not presenting as high as the last “surge” MSAD #60 experienced in the winter, but a concerning trend is that different departments and schools have a very high number of staff out. To date, administrators and school staff have done a commendable job coming up with creative ways to address the high number of staff absences, but should there remain a steady increase in staff absences it may become necessary to close a school/grade/department down for a short period of time. We know it places an increased burden on families when school isn’t physically in session so this would be a last resort, but we need to ensure we have enough staff to run programs and classes in a meaningful and safe manner. We wanted to make certain to communicate this concern with families sooner than later in order for everyone to have the opportunity to think about family plans, should we, in fact, need to have remote learning occur for a school, grade level, etc. prior to the end of the school year. We aren’t out of the woods yet. Please note that graduation is scheduled for Friday, June 10th. We are hoping for clear skies allowing graduation to be held outdoors. The last day for all Kindergarten through eleventh graders is June 15th. As is tradition, this will be a half day. More information will be forthcoming from each school. For planning purposes, the 2022-2023 school calendar is attached to this correspondence. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

April 25, 2022 Dear Noble High School Families, We wanted to provide you with information that earlier today the North Berwick Police Department received a call stating there was a threat in a student backpack located in the “room 50 English class” at Noble High School. This was an identical message to one that was received by other local schools and others in Canada. It was quickly determined to be a robo call that focused on York County. There was no direct or credible threat to Noble High School at any time, however, Noble High School effectively worked through the building safety plan. We would like to thank our local police department for their communication and assistance in making sure that this was not credible. Student and staff safety are the top priority in these situations. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais

April 14, 2022 Dear Noble Community, Historically, water testing occurs for schools in the district that do not have town water. This current school year all schools, regardless of town or private well, will be/have been tested. Once results are in, the district notifies and posts results. At this writing, water has been tested in the five elementary schools and results can be found on the district web page: www.rsu60.org. Noble Middle School and Noble High School will have testing over the next week. Attached is an “Information Sheet” about lead in drinking water. This “Information Sheet” accompanies the report. Should you have further questions please contact Director of Facilities, Kevin Moore (kevin.moore@msad60.org). Friday is the official start of April break and then we head into the very busy last two months of school. May everyone be able to take advantage of the warmer weather and different pace.

March 7, 2022 Dear MSAD #60 Community; This letter is written as a follow up to thank the community for continued efforts around the most recent shift in COVID-19 guidelines regarding “optional masking.” As stated in the Community Correspondence last week, it is the expectation that the entire school community will be supportive of those who continue to wear a face mask/covering and those who opt not to. There are some students/staff who are immunocompromised, live with someone who is at risk of contracting COVID-19 and becoming quite ill, or aren't ready to remove their masks indoors. Our schools will be supportive of all decisions regarding the wearing of masks/face coverings. Reports from last Friday and again this morning suggest that our students and staff respect those decisions and we thank you for reinforcing that on the home front. Please contact your school nurse if your student has tested positive for COVID-19 or if they have been exposed to someone who has tested positive. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

He noted that the mitigation strategies are now at a place where they are causing more harm than good. He shared that society is at a place where strategies have been implemented for a long time and we should consider moving beyond those. He noted that we need to lift the heavy blanket of anxiety that has shrouded society. The longer we continue with these restrictions, the more harm there is and learning is lost. The question really is “if not now, then when?” Parent Public Input Letter Rick Pelletier, of Lebanon, shared his concerns regarding the masking in MSAD 60. He wanted to share with the board that he feels that the board is an elected board and that the will of the people needs to be adhered to.

Alexandra Houston of North Berwick first shared her thanks and appreciation for the work that the school board has done on behalf of students and staff during this pandemic. She noted the hard choices and acknowledged the flexibility that has been provided. Her belief is that we need to stop burdening kids to protect them. The mandates served their purpose, students have met the requirements but the disruption is ongoing and needs to stop. She asked that the mandating masks should be reviewed and moved on from. Lauren Janesek, of North Berwick, encouraged the board to consider keeping the students foremost and the goal to keep the kids in school when considering removing the mask mandate.

Mr. Pelletier asked questions regarding the other aspects of health issues in society and then shared his beliefs around the need to follow the will of the people and end the masking mandate in schools. Ms. Manley left the meeting at 7:59 pm. Mr. Mike Barker of North Berwick asked the board to make the motion this evening based on the input of the public this evening, and not push it out for another meeting or two.

Good Evening, This past Wednesday, the Maine CDC released updated information regarding school Health and Safety Guidelines. Maine’s official recommendation is that mask wearing should become optional on March 9, 2022. The Standard Operating Procedures developed by the Maine CDC, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Education in the Summer of 2020 has been the document school districts across the state have used to mitigate COVID-19 in the school setting. The newest shift, of optional masking, will be incorporated into those procedures. What that means for the district is that starting tomorrow, March 4, 2022, masking will be optional in the school setting, including buses as long as local conditions are favorable. Local conditions include student/staff absenteeism rates, national CDC positivity maps, and wastewater testing results. Currently conditions are favorable for “mask optional” and we see that continuing moving forward. While we realize this is a welcome shift for a portion of our population, some may feel less comfortable. Dr. Shah has stated that someone who is vaccinated, boostered, and wearing a mask is in very strong standing not to contract COVID-19, so we encourage those families and staff who wish to continue to wear masks in the school setting to do so. Our schools will be supportive of those students/staff who continue to wear masks in the school setting. Schools will have the necessary supplies on hand for those who are in need. It is important to note that should a student/staff member test positive for COVID-19, they need to remain out of school for 5 days and can return on day 6 provided symptoms are dissipating. Upon return, on days 6-10 they will be required to wear a mask. In closing, please do not hesitate to contact the building-based nurse should you have any questions or need to report a positive COVID-19 case. The building-based nurse will be able to assist you as you navigate these most recent shifts in guidelines. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools
