 Seeing a presence of a quorum call this meeting the Amherst school committee to order at 6 23 p.m This is a very brief meeting tonight Prior to our regional school committee meeting and the purpose of this meeting is to vote to approve warrants Which is part of our new process that the Amherst school committee just recently adopted and it's a slightly different process than we've had previously and Just as a reminder this meeting is recorded and live broadcast by Amherst media I'm going to hand out right now to our school committee members The warrant report that was submitted by our finance director Shah Mungano just a short while ago And mr. Mungano, I'm going to ask if you don't mind just walking us quickly through this So it's a very first time that we're reviewing this in public It doesn't sound like it's on Amherst media is the public comments All right, so this is Motion for each warrant that needs to be approved. So there's three warrants And it's structured based on the wording that we received from Mark Terry from Eric And it's similar to what you're signing or the one person assigned at the region But sort of turn into a motion for Amherst So just to walk you through how this works for one of these so the first one the warrant number is s 12 1 1 1 9 which lines up with the date that the warrant was generated and The motions to authorize tables and the amount of the total amount of the warrant and for the warrant dated 12 11 2019 and then it breaks the warrant down into the funding sources or where the money is coming from to pay the Expenditures in that warrant. So in this particular case the general fund expenses of 25,000 247 54 Revolving fund expenses of 225 dollars and withholding payments of 3350 with only payments are When we withhold stuff from people's paychecks, that is not our money But their money that's withheld and then we cut the check to actually pay whether it's health insurance or Life insurance or anything like that So that's how all three of these are structured There was discussion about maybe some other type of report as well to kind of give maybe a little more besides the warrant some other breakdown and so there is a Put these together I put these together. These are a page from the warrant That breaks down the total amount by cost center And so cost centers for us are basically the first part of our chart of accounts And so like the general fund if you look at the first page There's a general fund section and then within that general fund section. It will show you How much was paid from each of those cost centers and so you kind of have to learn the cost centers Which once you learn them, they're not too hard But you have to learn the cost centers, but that's a report that's already part of the warrants And so for example what that would tell you is if you wanted to know how much we spent from utilities That would tell you how much we spent from utilities if you want to know a special ed It would tell you special ed And so on so on so at some point You know we could send out a guide of the cost centers And that maybe that would be a helpful tool for you to look at and then that combined with that summary Could be you know some more backup for the votes that you're going to take I see some nodding heads for the the guide I think that you know as much information as we can provide to the committee and the community is Very helpful with that and I think that you know the printout that we're looking at here Looks very similar to the previous warrants that we used to sign. Yeah, it's a page that you see part of that Right, so this is coming from the munis system. Yeah, and just as a reminder for the committee and anyone who may be watching That typically these warrants all of the expenses from the district go through a very intense Internal review process. So, you know the school committee is basically just signing off on these expenses But it does not mean that this is the only point of review for these right absolutely We have a purchase order system So everything that gets there has a purchase order that has to be first completed by the department and signed by the department head And then comes to me and reviewed by me and signed by me and if it's over a thousand dollars It's also reviewed and signed by the superintendent So for some things that may be reviewed as many as three or four times before The authorization to purchase happens and that has to be in place first before the expenditure can even take place Great. So this war review process is really just for you know public information Just to keep track of the things that are moving through and it allows us to actually release the checks So we hold the checks until you vote to approve In the new system vote to approve the warrants and once you do that then we release the checks I'm just gonna pause for a second to see if the committee has any questions or comments. Mr. Demling. Yeah Does the motion require the reading of all the details as itemized all the stuff under this includes I think so I'd not positive, but I think for tonight to be safe. Probably should just read the details I think we could get confirmation that's right future that would help and Do any of these warrants include payroll? Not tonight. Okay If there are no further questions or comments for either mr. Montano or the superintendent I will take a motion and we have three different motions. We want to make mr. Nakajima. I Move that the Amherst school committee approve S1 2 1 1 1 9 Move to authorize payables in the amount of 20,000 820 20 for cents for the warrant dated 12 11 2019 this includes general fund expenses of twenty five thousand two forty seven dollars and fifty four cents Revolving fund expenses of 225 dollars Grant fund expenses, which in this case are not applicable and withholding of payments of three thousand three hundred fifty dollars Okay, we have a motion. Do I have a second second? Thank You miss McDonald So it's been moved and approved and seconded and all those in favor Okay, that warrant has been approved. I will take a motion for the second warrant Mr. Demling I moved to authorize a warrant s 12 13 19 to authorize payables in the amount of 124,245 dollars and eighty cents for the warrant dated 12 13 19 This includes general fund expenses of seventy one thousand eight hundred seventy four thousand forty and forty three cents revolving fund expenses of 24,000 six hundred fifty three thousand and one cent grant fund expenses of six thousand two hundred thirteen dollars and forty seven cents withholding payments Not applicable capital fund payments of nineteen thousand nine hundred and four dollars ninety one cents and student activities of one thousand six hundred dollars Demling I'm sorry. I'm wondering if you might want to reread the first two lines. I believe you said Thousand twice Just to be sure we're being clear So can I withdraw my motion and Richard's we say the whole motion. Yes, okay. I'll throw my motion and I move to approve I'm going to authorize tables in the amount of one hundred one hundred and twenty four thousand two hundred and forty five Dollars and eighty two cents for the warrant dated 12 13 19 This includes general fund expenses in the amount of seventy one thousand eight hundred and seventy four dollars and forty three cents Revolving fund expenses of twenty four thousand six hundred and fifty three dollars and one cent Grant fund expenses of six thousand two hundred and thirteen dollars and forty seven cents withholding payments Not applicable capital fund payments of nineteen thousand nine hundred and four dollars and ninety one cents and student activities of one thousand six hundred dollars Thank you. We have a motion. Do I have a second second? Thank you miss McDonald. We have a second It's been moved and seconded all those in favor Okay, that motion has been approved and last one I Move to authorize payables in the amount of forty seven thousand dollars seven hundred and twenty five dollars and eleven cents for the warrant dated 12 23 2019 this includes general fund expenses of forty six thousand two hundred and sixty five dollars and eighty seven cents Revolving fund expenses of not applicable grant fund expenses also not applicable withholding payments of one thousand four hundred and forty nine dollars and twenty four cents Capital fund payments of not applicable and student activities also not Thank you. Do we have a second? Thank you. Mr. Nakajima. We have a second all those in favor And that warrant is approved Thank you very much. Mr. Mangano. Thank you. And one last thing and this may not be welcome news I talked to Mark Terry and you also still have to sign the warrant So you still have to sign it, you know, it's voted So everyone who voted In the affirmative should sign it and we'll take those back. So that's what is in this blue. Yeah The warrant all three of those warrants are in those that okay So we can pass this down doesn't have to be signed during open session or can it be signed that I don't think so I think the vote is what has to okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Mr. Mangano, and we have a final motion Mr. Nakajima and we have a motion to adjourn. Do we have a second second? Thank you. Ms. McDonald all those in favor We are adjourned. Thank you very much Seeing the presence of a quorum I call this meeting the Amherst Polynesian School Committee to order I'm seeing the presence of a quorum I call this meeting of the union 26 school committee and actually this meeting is being recorded It's still recorded, right? Yes, meaning not live broadcast. Oh, no, it's live broadcast. Oh, it's being live broadcast. Go to Ohio, things happen. How wonderful I need Yes. Well, anyway, so it I feel I guess I'm saying this for the benefit of the audience then because if you're watching at home You probably already know that Okay, so we don't have minutes to approve You know what time it is? 6.33 Okay, so we want to do the public comment when public comment period is and so with the with the Acclamation or a scent of the of the committee, I'd like to move the Amherst Polynesian School Committee chairs update forward on the agenda to Item four and then switch it with the announces in public comments Is that amenable? I'm saying nodding and amenable in a sense. So I mean, it'll be brief. It actually won't take the next seven minutes I Just want the for those in the public who have been following our meetings closely they will see that on At least three occasions We have had executive sessions in order which the purpose of the executive session was denoted as being a due to an allegation involving a personnel under the supervision of the school committee namely Michael Morris and I am hereby Publicly announcing on behalf of the school committee that that investigation matter is concluded Entirely and there was an investigation conducted That did not find any Evidence or support whatsoever for the allegations and so the committee voted to accept that report and considers the matter entirely closed And that's that that's the job the other thing. I don't you have any report So I sure no acting chair Because I don't have anything else Separate Buckeye apparently has peanut butter in the middle of chocolate. There's an absolutely delicious Do you know what time is it is 635 are there any announcements from committee members knowing that we can clearly move forward with that I Would love to state that since you're not a committee member. I won't raise your hand like that You can raise it I I think that Both on other committees that which I've served as well as this one I think Anastasia Ardennes has done an extraordinary job and You know, I've worked with a bunch of really great school committee members, but none better than her and Due to my role as chair of the regional committee, I've had more opportunities than either one of us probably cared to have to talk and figure out what we're going to do is as chairs of respective committees and how we were going to move forward with things and Always I have found you to be thoughtful deeply committed to the district savvy And a nice person to work with too And I think in the end since times are often tough Being a nice and decent person is one of the best traits you can have And because it helps it helps make the medicine go down of whatever you're dealing with a little bit better And so I really appreciate your service and have appreciated serving with you And even though I'm looking forward to all future members. I will not look forward to them as much as I enjoyed working with you Maybe as much Thank you, Mr. Nakajima. I really appreciate that. Thank you. What time is it now? By the way, I couldn't keep going on with that. That was embarrassing. Yes. We do have approval of minutes. No, they're no minutes Okay, Dr. Morris stay with that theme, which is tonight is also in addition to Mr. Donis's last meeting It's also Mr. Mangano's last meeting and the role of finance director So I would like to similarly acknowledge his role and contributions to the district I think I'll start with where you ended, which is being a nice person in the kind person which Matters and so in addition to all the financial pieces and Shepherding four towns through multiple conversations of multiple years of assessment methodology And all that goes into community engagement meeting with PGOs Doing new things to engage different communities L pack CPAC in the budget process. I think he's done it my opinion He's done it with incredible grace And also incredible creativity and I think that was acknowledged at the 410 meeting for those of you who are able to attend The 410 meeting and that's not a group that does standing ovations for too many people And they did and it wasn't planned It wasn't you know, I didn't tip anyone off other than Sean who was frustrated with me for Acknowledging him at that at that meeting, but I want to just that's not on camera So I want to publicly acknowledge mr. Mangano's role in the district and we will miss him greatly There any further announcements about awesome Sean is or Anastasia They're welcome at this point What's and also just if anyone knows again what time it is just let me know But 638 You can mystery I can I can't read that the clock that well I could easily say was exported from there I Salute the Amherst high school football team. I was away during their Valiant effort and loss, but it was it was neat to see them get that far What other championships do we have this fall we're near championships. We had Western mass championships of girls cross country and Our boys hockey is off to a really strong start Three one and no, so that's a strong start and what's neat Intentionally extending this a bit, but is that it's a partnership between Amherst Hadley and Palmer so we have students as schools in muster, Massachusetts high schools have gotten smaller When it's sports like hockey which are pretty material intensive in terms of rink time and We've partnered and smaller towns to keep their players Their student athletes having access to sports and this is a neat one We don't have many three town. I think it may be our only three town team and it's worked beautifully with the student athletes from Hadley and Palmer, so just compliments to the coach. Mr. Russo is also a middle school teacher, but to the students for coming together That's great. Yes, we have a similar Granby for football and some other sports. Is that correct? We do we do I'm not sure that we have three towns. I could be wrong on that But I'm also intentionally extending this and just went to 640 my clock I just Okay, so if there are no further announcements from the school committee or from the superintendent We'll move to open public comment if anyone has public comment. They can come forward I am not just for the purposes of people watching live at home. I don't see anyone sitting here Driving through town by the way, I'd say it was actually very very quiet Exceptionally quiet as quiet as I've ever seen it in years So it means there really wasn't any traffic that it's anyone from getting here They're bicycling walking or driving So with that I will close public comment period and remind people again that they can email use snail mail to Correspond with us if they wish so So this down now means at 641 or to that we are significantly ahead of our schedule for those watching at home It's mentioned that the times that are listed are approximate, but in this case The moving up of the business is primarily because you know, we didn't we didn't have minutes to approve. We didn't have any Much announcements in the way of announcements from the committee and we didn't have any public comments so with the Again the approval of the of the committee or general assent. I'm going to move forward with the next item on our agenda And we will Proposed superintendent contract discussion and possible vote contractor superintendent Michael Morris I know there was a robust discussion about this at the last meeting. This is also an item that is noted has been Noted as an item of discussion In planning purposes for executive sections in multiple meetings throughout the fall So I'm hoping there have been multiple opportunities for the public to be able to Follow this engage learn from last week's meeting as well as associated newspaper articles about it As we move forward with our current discussion so The item has been it's in the packet. It's in the packet. That's available online and Is also not Want to say not at all so I want the votes who've been Here in the state to nod their heads that I'm right. It is not at all been changed since the last time was publicly discussed It is not Wonderful, so that means that what you see is what you get in terms of the contract What this does is this? Essentially ratifies That the current contract will run through the end of this fiscal year and that immediate Immediately upon the end of this fiscal or school year Will commence a new three-year contract for dr. Morris That that contract would run through June 30th 2023 And would be automatically renewed for a further period Unless there is notice from the committees by December 31st 2022 the contract That does include a couple obviously that obviously does compensation But in other ways it includes a couple changes from the current track contract. They had but the effective July 1st 2020 the superintendent would be paid a gross salary annual salary of one hundred sixty three thousand one hundred and forty dollars effective July 1st 2021 the superintendent would be paid hundred seventy two hundred seven thousand dollars and then the committees would Meet and confer with the superintendent about any race for the third year if this contract is approved And in addition to that the superintendent would continue to be Eligible and would receive longevity longevity payments as well as a lump sum and recognition of his doctorate And as is also the case in the current contract would receive reimbursement for life insurance premium payments The termination severance clauses largely remain the same with a Change that clarifies The terms under which the superintendent could be removed To say the superintendent is removed as a result of willful misconduct willful dereliction of duty egregious persistent documented performance failures act of investment fraud against the district's or commission of a felonious act or death that the committees could Pursuant to the termination clauses that elsewhere outline how that process would be pursued Could terminate without pay otherwise it defines a term of severance for the superintendent of ten months if they are Terminated without any of the causes Listed in section 4d of the contract the pre the current contract didn't actually provide a level of clarity over these elements by the way, I was just for the sake for the Benefit of the committees. I was told you didn't actually read these literal language last week So I'm hoping that's true because I'm doing it now So the public has clarity over the terms of the contract if I'm repeating something just wave your hands, and I'll stop talking Because I don't mean to chew up clock or something like that The other Clauses in the contract except for the the Dates by which for example later in five renewal the date by which The superintendent has to be notified Are all updated. They're otherwise Similar it also further points out in that section five that though the contract can be extended Once essentially nothing is done by December 31st 2022 that That it only can go once and then Under under all circumstances the contract but after the new contract had been negotiated at that time I reckon my memory is that is that similar to a current term in the contract actually And that is what I recall is new in this contract again except for any minor Date changes Substantibly, I think that's true. Mr. Domen. So there was one other item of note That was added in under section 11 print benefits 11d I'll just read the text in consideration of the extremely high number of night Meetings each year the superintendent may take up to two days per month as compensation leave Said days may be taken in full or half-day increments must be used within 68 calendar days from the month the days Thank you. I forgot about that one and essentially just for the public's benefit If many of you this may be even true the members of the committee may work in an office In which if you work at night, you know, see you work till midnight to get something done Your boss may say Don't worry about it come in at 11 tomorrow and you're fine And as the contract is currently written and actually as it's enforced because mr. Domen I had a conversation with Dr. Morris and said so you don't you don't and the answer was a good answer It was the right answer But it means you don't informally Take any sort of comp time if you're burning the clock really late And his answer was no, I don't do that. It's not my contract And that's just setting aside the practicality of you know kids get on buses every morning So logically you end up meeting and wanting to get up the way But but the point is you also can't take off at three in the afternoon or something in the afternoons So this allows this a allows for that to be done, but also be it Brackets it because as noted by mr. Demling's language It's in a contract. It's time-limited in terms of the expiration of the comp time itself And it also is limited in terms of the amount of comp time that could be taken but what this essentially does is if the superintendent burns the clock really late and really And based on his duties has the ability to leave at two in the afternoon on a Friday He's now going to be free to be able to do that and not have to stay and work because we didn't let him I Know the committee knows this because you already reviewed the contract public doesn't anything else Thank you Are there other other comments from the committee? I know you did have a discussion about this last week There are any a further comments. Otherwise. I would entertain a motion If that were forthcoming No, in this case by the way to be clear that would be for the regional committee not for the not for the union I just wanted to state again for the record for you know Folks who may not have been watching our last meeting but are watching tonight or will be watching in the future that this contract was discussed At length and in great detail both in executive session and then we also made our statements Last at our last meeting regarding our impressions of this contract And so I think you know, I still everything is exactly what we discussed and how I remember this So I would like to move to prove the superintendent's contract of employment for the Amherst Pollen regional schools and I don't know if I need to say for the period of time. Where's that enough? I think it's enough, okay as presented As presented is there a second Second been moved by or done a second by McDonald any further discussion for the regional committee Seeing no seeing none All those members of the regional committee who approve the contract signify by raising your hand I That's one two three One two three four five six are there nays any nays one day So great the contract is approved And I would take a motion for union 26 Anyone would like to make a motion I moved So I moved to approve the contract for superintendent Michael Morris for the as As reviewed As emotions are a second second Any discussion on the motion seeing none all those in favor, please raise your hand signifying I And it is unanimous 5-0 Thank You dr. Morris. Do you have anything you want to say I do. Thank you. I'll be brief So I want to start by saying I've truly enjoyed my tenure over the last Three-plus years in the role and I'm honored and humbled by your vote to allow me to continue in the role until 2023 as I was by many of your kind words at the previous meeting I Chose not to speak at that meeting. I thought it was more appropriate to speak at this point With your active support and guidance I believe that the talented staff members in our districts are doing incredibly impactful work to benefit our students And that's consistent with your mission, you know, the school committee policy ad And I'll read an excerpt to seek to seek to create an environment that achieves equity for all students It ensures that each student is a successful learner is fully respected and learns to respect others Each of our schools is wonderfully dynamic in our three districts And now has a developed articulated plan to realize their potential to support every student We have record high wait lists for families wanting to enter our schools via school choice strong support from our member communities Exciting new programs such as coming on days at Fort River and restorative practices at both the middle school and high school We're back in the MSBA pipeline to hopefully To transform the infrastructure of our elementary schools in Amherst We've removed ourselves from the financial cliff stemming from an over-reliance of school choice funds in Pelham We have seeked and successfully applied for grants to supplement our budgets to support our initiatives We have significantly increased the diversity of our staff at all levels and we have an even brighter future ahead of us Along with a tremendous amount of thoughtful planning and hard work None of that would be possible without the strong leadership of the school committees a Dedicated and talented administrative team and an outstanding staff working with our students I'm very proud to be a member of this district and to be a steward of the process to ensure that our schools Benefit every single student who walks their halls Thank you Thank you So we have another item item 6b finance director discussion and possible vote on the appointment of Finance director you want to introduce this talk tomorrow sure I think for the public's even though it was in the packet I'm just going to read the memo that's on the back page. I know it's lengthy, but I do think it's important Sure to read verbatim or as close as I can successfully do that So as you know Sean Mangano was departing from the district Next week December 31st 2019 This fall the district initiated and we want to thank mr. Mangano for giving the lead time for us to complete a search. It's important to note Frankly, that hasn't happened in every community when finance directors leave. So I appreciate that The district initiated surf and search and during Cunningham facilitated this in the fall She posted the position on school spring dot-com indeed dot-com We reached out to the messages Massachusetts Association of School Business Officials or masbo listserv and Currently there's a shortage of individuals going into this field across the Commonwealth So average phone calls were also made to several candidates in the area to express initial interest and to others were listed as being Licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts In total six candidates completed applications for the position They were screening and interview committees assembled to review applications and interview candidates the interview committee which consisted of six individuals unanimously recommended dr. Douglas slaughter for the position the recommendation is being supported by the administration and we're bringing this Recommendation appointment for you for approval as per school committee policy BDC Dr. Slaughter is in his 13th year of the district having worked in the information systems as database and analyst and its current role as Assistant director in this role He worked closely with the human resources and business offices to implement and maintain personnel and payroll software in addition to his work with Our student information software and database systems Through his work He has been integral in aiding the preparation of financial and personnel reports for use by all levels of the organization Including the many required by desi for all three of our districts Augmenting that experience has been his long-standing commitment to community service through his membership on Amherst finance committee Joint capital planning committee select board audit committee and advisory board representative to the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority Dr. Slaughter holds bachelor's or master's degree from University of Missouri and a doctoral degree in chemical engineering from the University of Massachusetts He holds multiple licenses from desi including superintendent assistant superintendent He's been granted a waiver from desi for the role of school business administrator that lasts until June 30th 29th That should be 2020. I apologize. I still can never really get used to the when the year transitions So I apologize Dr. Slaughter slated to complete the requirements for licensure well ahead of the expiration of the current waiver and we would expect that license to be Achieved at the end of next month at the end of January 2020 Mr. Mangano has graciously agreed to continue to support dr. Slaughter if the appointment is approved in conclusion I recommend Dr. Slaughter for the position of finance director for the districts given his background experience and dedication I believe his appointment will be a benefit to our districts Okay, do you have anything further? I mean it's rather complete statement No, I think both mr. Mangano and dr. Slaughter are both here in case there are questions from the committee So thank you both for coming out on on the 23rd of December, but I think that's as much as I'll share so What I think we'd welcome right now is any questions from the committee Mr. Dunlin, it's not really a question just a just a comment that from having Seeing dr. Slaughter engaging public service in Amherst. He has a I think a really well-earned reputation is as hard-working knowledgeable and kind person who really deeply cares about public service So I was very pleased to see and put forward this position Maybe perhaps the only other thing I'd add is that there was a school can remember on the Interview committee as well Not that I need to get into that But I did want to note that when we when we have interviews for these types of positions We always encourage and try to solicit school committee members to be on the front end of it as well So I guess one question I have is you mentioned that He should be fully certified Very soon as early as late January, but certainly no later than June 30th I Guess we I'm assuming you'll be monitoring that and giving us an update at the earliest convenient Opportunity in terms of that occurring and if there's any hitch that comes in terms of I mean my assumption would be for some reason that didn't happen you have to either Do another search or Extend and I think you'd want to know that as soon as possible That's right, and it will be in frequent communication with the committee on that topic. Okay, it sounds great I've got a couple of questions from mr. Mangano Just curious how how our electric bus is doing I have to ask one more time Is it still running like it should the electric bus? The electric bus is doing well last I Heard we actually I did hear about it recently because we're doing a bus contract And we are a vendors meeting where all the different bus vendors came in and so we talked about the electric bus But last I knew it's doing pretty well and the second question is girls locker room is in the capital plan Yes, I'm just playing with that Next one the third one is how are we doing with electricity and the solar panels in cell dearfielder? Really were they so we've been getting the so Mr.. Sullivan's referring to the off-taker agreement that we signed with a solar array that went up into your field We actually signed it like five years ago, but it did go on. Yeah. Yeah, it's been in effect since the beginning of 2019 or sometimes 2018, but we haven't get in the net metering credits So we get about thirty thousand dollars Each year off of our electric bill because of that And in terms of overall electricity get part of our capital plan is to if approved See what else we can do in the district on the middle school roof and the parking lot Maybe other ground-mounted areas To see what other potentials out there for electricity right now We get about half of our electricity consumption covered by the solar array in dearfield Which leaves another half that we could look at Thank you very much and so by implication I Assumed that dr. Slaver Is comfortable to answer any such questions in the future when the moment arises? Say think on your feet moment you come in with one thing and you never know what you're going to get from the committee And actually and actually just regarding you've done a very we've done a wonderful job of answering those impromptu questions And also making sure that the girl's locker room is finally being renovated But all seriousness of it if there are other questions or comments if If not, I would entertain a motion If one is forthcoming So moved I Entertain a actually full motion I move that we accept the appointment of dr. Slaughter for the position of Finance director for the district. It's been moved.
