MOTIONS
7.1.
[by Jackie Doherty]:
Request the Superintendent provide a report on the number of staff and students who have left the STEM Academy since January 2020 including those families who are on the wait list to transfer out of the school. In addition to numbers, the report should include the reasons for those departures based on information collected from confidential exit interviews. No names used in the report—simply identify person by role: parent, teacher, para etc. The report should also include an update on replacement staffing both at the time of school opening and now, indicating whether all classes currently have licensed teachers in place and when that occurred.

[by Jackie Doherty]:
Request the Superintendent develop a plan to share with the committee as to how the district will address new DESE requirement that all in-person students receive flu shots by December 30.
