Superintendent’s Report
Superintendent Thomas thanked Mayor Sullivan for working with the local clergy and putting together theprayer vigil held at City Hall. He expressed how devastated we all are by the news of the murder of George Floyd, it is a painful and horrible history that we have here in America. He expressed that someone like himself will never feel that pain or be able to feel the heartbreak that the people of color feel from what they are going through right now. As a school community and a community of Brockton, we need to stand together and do everything we can both in the city and school department to rule out hatred, racism and indifferences.
Superintendent Thomas thanked School Committee members for their support, stating together we can make Brockton better. We have a lot of work to do, to move forward to make our school system and community better for everyone.
Mr. Minichiello talked about growing up here in the City of Brockton and it being a unique place (not saying that we don’t have problems or issues) having friends of all ethnicities and races Brockton has provided a unique environment. He is glad that we do not share the severity of problems that other cities and communities do. It’s amazing of the stupidity and unnecessary actions of crazy people dealing with people of color and you wonder why that continues to happen, just out of common sense and humanity someone’s on the ground in handcuffs; what is going on here? Luckily, we do live in a city where we care about one another and this type of behavior is not tolerated, would not and never really was in his lifetime here in Brockton. We do share a commonality acceptance of all people, we enjoy each other’s company, differences, and we come together. In times of hurt we support one another and we will continue to do so for our students and staff. Brockton is a great unique place, lets pray for the family that lost their son as well as other families that have lost their sons and daughters, together we will get through this and he hopes tonight in Brockton people will voice themselves in a respectful and peaceful manner. We are a strong community, we are the City of Champions.
Mr. D’Agostino echoed both Mayor Sullivan and Mr. Minichiello. Upon seeing the video, he was disgusted and angered and couldn’t believe what he was watching and was waiting for someone to step in to stop and it never happened. There are things and ways we can do better in Brockton. We have a great diversity population and that is one of our strengths here in Brockton. Mr. D’Agostino mentioned he and his wife choose to live here and raise a family because of the great diversity and different backgrounds. Our hearts go out to George Floyd’s family.
Mr. Sullivan expressed his sympathy and mentioned this incident should have never happened to the Floyd’s family. Mr. Sullivan and his entire family feels saddened and agree this should have never happened wishing there was something they could do to change it.
Student Report
Student Representative Georgiana Younes gave a report on happenings at Brockton High School.
• On the BPS website, you are now able to view the senior virtual art exhibit which includes pieces that would have been featured in the annual HarborOne art show. Please take a moment to visit the website and view the incredible artwork presented by our graduating seniors.
• For current high school juniors who would like to continue their college search throughout this time, a webinar conducted by the Associate Dean of Admissions at Bridgewater State University will be held on Wednesday, June 3rd at 6:30 pm. Information on how to join the webinar can be found on the BPS website under the grades 9-12 resources.
• The months of May and June are a busy time for Brockton High School but due to the school closures there isn't much going on. With that said students and teachers continue to learn and grow throughout the virtual learning process.
• Many students have voiced their concerns to teachers about their ability to complete assignments amidst a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. Teachers have been understanding of the circumstances their students are under and how it has impacted us.
Mayor Sullivan thanked Georgiana for the update of information.
TAG Selection for 2020
Superintendent Thomas invited June Saba-Maguire Chief Academic Officer and Dr. Ethan Cancell Executive Director Assessment, Accountability, Technology & Student Data Research to give an update on the TAG selection for the 2020-2021 school year.
Ms. Saba-Maguire expressed her solidarity for the strong stance and leadership Mayor Sullivan, Superintendent and School Committee members have taken against the heinous acts that have continued to be inflicted against people of color in this country and community. As we begin to think about the transition back to school we will work with our school leaders, teachers and all staff to prepare them to support our students and our families and to deepen our commitment and address systemic racism that exist in our country and school systems. We are thinking deeply about access and equity that honors the community that we all serve. Our approach and selection of students for the TAG program is important and a true representative of our community. Our team is working with a combination of the STAR assessment and teacher and principal recommendations to make the initial decision. We have received all information from all elementary principals and held the initial meeting with the district team members; Chief Academic Officer June Saba-Maguire, Executive Director Assessment, Accountability, Technology & Student Data Research Dr. Cancell, Director of Title One Karen McCarthy and Principal of the Angelo School John Kelly. During the meeting they have reviewed each candidate and had discussion. There is another meeting scheduled for tomorrow and a list of recommendations should be available by the end of this week with notifications of potential in-coming TAG families next week. There will be an opportunity for parents of students who perhaps feel that their child was overlooked to submit an appeal to the Office of Teaching and Learning, Ms. Saba-Maguire will be the point of contact and guidance for families that may want to visit the process.
Dr. Cancell expressed his agreement with the sentiments the Mayor, Superintendent and School Committee have raised tonight. He then briefly outlined the steps that were taken in the TAG process. It is important to note that only having STAR this year, principals talked extensively with their leadership teams and teachers gathering as much evidence as possible to make the TAG candidate decisions. The process was instructive enough to incorporate for next year, the insight and various data teachers shared was important.

Remote Learning Update & Engagement Report
Superintendent Thomas invited June Saba-Maguire who will report on K-5, Dr. Clifford Murray to report on the middle and high school and Dr. James Cobbs to report on Edison Academy.
Ms. Saba-Maguire mentioned we are twelve weeks into remote learning environment experience we are looking forward to our three plus weeks remaining in this school year, and would like to communicate to our families and teachers that we recognize nothing that we’re doing in this remote learning could replace the in person school interaction and most importantly the teaching and learning that happens in the classroom. Overall remote learning has gone well in the Brockton schools, we look at participation and recognize there are many reasons the levels of participation has varied. We are prepared to engage in the work that is needed for our students on their return to school.
Below are percentage rates of participation in remote learning across the district, it is an average across the grade level; high, medium and low/none.
Elementary student participation
• 62% - high
• 28% - medium
• 10% - low/none
The district continues to reach out to all families particularly students and families that are harder to reach. we have systems in place and we’ll continue to do so. It’s important for parents to know our principals, curriculum leaders and teachers are working tirelessly to continue to support students during the last three weeks of school. We want our students to remain engaged in the work provided through the district and teacher resources. We are looking forward to seeing our teachers, staff, students and families back in our schools.
Dr. Murray echoed everyone’s sentiment to what is taking place in our country, it is very disheartening that in his life and our countries life these things still go on. As the Superintendent mentioned we still have a lot of work to do and we’re getting started on it right away.
The middle school and high school engagement varies, it’s by school and grade and varied in a wide range and factors, such as connectivity we were only able to provide one device per household even if there is more than one student, many of the older students at high school had jobs prior to COVID-19 and many are working more now especially with family members unemployed.

• 50% - high
• 30% - medium
• 20% - low
High school student participation

Of the 345 students 120 are currently participating remotely. Edison online classes will continue through the summer and finish on July 29th this will give time to make up work.
Edison Academy participation
• 1/3 – high
• 1/3 – medium
• low – we will continue to reach out and connect with students
Superintendent Thomas mentioned our district was not designed for remote learning it’s all around equity. Superintendent Thomas spoke with Mr. Tripp Jones and Superintendent’s from New Bedford, Chelsea and Worcester who are very active with the City of Brockton and the lawsuit of equity and education.
Superintendent Thomas commended administration and teachers in providing remote learning for students considering the limited time and resources that have been available.

Revised 2020-2021 BPS Academic School Calendar
Superintendent Thomas discussed the revised 2020-2021 BPS Academic School Calendar. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has canceled the Boston Marathon scheduled for September 14, 2020 as a holiday in the State of Massachusetts. We are asking the committee to amend the 2020-2021 BPS Academic School Calendar to put back in September 14, 2020 as a school day and change the last day of school back to June 17, 2021 with no snow or cancellations if we should use the snow days the last day would be June 24, 2021.
Comments
• Mr. Minichiello agreed if Marathon Monday is no longer a holiday we should amend September 14, 2020 unless someone objects.
• Ms. Asack asked during election day, are schools closed and is it safe to have elections, where we’ve gone through sanitizing the schools just before we open.
The primary is September 1st and that is not a school day just teachers returning. A meeting will need to take place with the Mayor and Elections board, that would be a change that the city would have to make.
• We will schedule a Facilities Subcommittee meeting in July and invite the Mayor and Director of Elections.
Mayor Sullivan, Chair returned to the meeting and Mr. D’Agostino, Vice-Chair continued to chair the meeting.
Ms. Sullivan motioned to adopt the revised 2020-2021 BPS Academic School Calendar, seconded by Mr. Minichiello.

Student Opportunity Act (SOA) 3-year District Plan

New Business
Discussion of Public Hearing on School Budget 2021
Mr. D’Agostino discussed the Public Hearing on School Budget that was held earlier this evening as required by law to hear public comments. There was one constituent who spoke, and we appreciate her comments and feedback.
Discussion of North Middle School
Superintendent Thomas thanked the committee for what was brought forward from the Finance Subcommittee discussing preparations for social distancing and what school would look like in September. Superintendent Thomas suggested keeping North Middle School open with some renovations and cosmetic work that can be completed in house. Due to local aid being cut, the city is no longer able to bond the money needed to repair North Middle School and complete the alterations needed. Overall the building is in solid shape but needs some cosmetic repairs. It is in the best interest to keep the building open and allow neighboring students in grade six that live within two miles of North Middle School to return next year. With a short period of time this would be the best way to do things in an organized way and relieve stress from other middle schools as far as the numbers especially planning for social distancing. If approval is granted Ms. Marcia Andrade-Serpa Director of Parent Information Center and her team will begin placements for grade six letters mailed out next week.
Ms. Marcia Andrade-Serpa Director of Parent Information Center presented information to the committee:
2019-2020 Middle School enrollment: Grade 6 – 1267, Grade 7 – 1336, Grade 8 – 1274 total of 3877
2020-2021 Middle School enrollment: Grade 6 – 1318, Grade 7 – 1267, Grade 8 – 1336 total of 3921
2020-2021 with North Middle School: Grade 6 – 251 students that live within a 2-mile zone.
With the re-opening of North Middle School, a reduction of 5 bus would no longer be needed.
Questions/Answers
• What are the capacity numbers for each school?
Superintendent Thomas will send the capacity information to the members. We comply
with the Brockton Fire Department.
• Will Community programs continue at North Middle School?
Yes, programs will continue, incoming students in grade 6 will use classroom occupied by grade 8.

Non-union members would negotiate with the Superintendent. The proposals for this year’s incentive are $15,000 for certified staff (up to 20 staff members and $ 10,000 for non-certified staff (up to 15 staff members). A 10% participation would cost approximately half a million dollars to be paid out in incentives.

It has been reported of some rock throwing and no damages reported yet as they continue to march to city hall and police department, and we hope it will remain peaceful and our city stays safe. Law enforcement will continue to keep the Mayor updated.
Mr. Minichiello asked with respect to discussion with graduation, where the governor has loosened up for the month of July if we could consider still going forward with the virtual celebration in June to have a celebration or recognition of the class of 2020 and having a COVID-19 approved graduation that would be safe and in compliance with the governors’ requisites in July.
Mr. D’Agostino mentioned he, the Mayor and Superintendent Thomas have had similar discussions about having a safe and in compliance celebration in July.
Questions/Answers
• Do we know when students leave for the military?
Most are required to report on June 27th/29th.

Superintendent Thomas discussed guidelines provided by the Department of Education that was given by the Mass Department of Health for graduation ceremonies taking place before July 18, 2020 must be virtual or car parade. In person ceremonies could take place after July 18th and would also need approval by the local Board of Health. Mayor Sullivan is working with Dr. Rick Herman, a pandemic expert and former Chief of ER at Brockton Hospital and Good Samaritan Medical Center. Dr. Herman has asked for additional time to review data, he has some initial concerns based upon the spread, but he didn’t rule out graduation. Mayor Sullivan said if we can do something to honor and show the students our love, respect and admiration we will do it. We will await guidance from Dr. Herman.
Mr. D’Agostino suggested adding graduation to next Wednesday’s School Committee meeting agenda under new business for further discussion and perhaps we will have enough information to take action. Superintendent Thomas mentioned that a final decision will need to be made next week for planning purpose for a physical graduation. Dr. Murray suggests we go forward with the virtual graduation celebration.
