School Committee Chair Update A. Charter Review Committee Review (BevCam 1:52:38) Ms.Abell stated she had shared the Charter Review Committee Report in order to give the School Committee Members an opportunity to speak to the items that pertained to them, which included replacement of School Committee members and the number of School Committee Members. Ms.Abell stated that if an extended conversation was needed they could add it to a future agenda. Ms. Visnick reported having been asked by a number of City Councilors for thoughts on the specific changes as they do not want to vote on something that affects the School Committee. She also noted that Ms.Abell and the previous School Committee president had spoken on this topic. Ms. Visnick stated she would hope if anyone had questions or reservations they would mention them tonight then the City Council would be aware and could move forward. Ms. Robinson stated she wanted to better understand the voting process. Ms.Abell explained that in Beverly we have a Home Rule Charter with a ten (10) year review cycle. She noted the formation of the Charter Review Committee, who held numerous meetings, stepping through every part of the charter and boiling it down to what their recommendations would be to the City Council. She stated it is up to the City Council, but that certain things would need to go to the voters to enact changes to the way we govern our city. Mayor Cahill explained there are different ways to change a charter and noted the election of the Charter Commission in 1993. The Charter Commission reported back two years later with the proposal going on the ballot, as a whole. This is a different process, anything that comes out as a recommendation would need to go to the legislature as a Home Rule Petition. Some changes would become effective when they are passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor, some would then need to come forward onto the local ballot. Mayor Cahill stated that the information they are discussing now would be on the ballot a year from November. Ms.Abell added that the City Solicitor worked with the Charter Review Committee on this outline and therefore the reason for the detailed information. Ms.Abell stated, in reference to Ms. Visnick comment, that the sentiments that she and Ms. Silverstein represented to the Charter Review Committee was that there is a lot of important work done by this body; that having more people, more hands makes lighter work. The recommendation is to have two (2) additional members, at-large. This would change what a quorum would be, what a subcommittee would consist of and the dynamic with the Superintendent. There was a list of pros and cons. Ms. Visnick stated in the past the representation was uneven, the proposal going forward is to have even representation across the city. Ms.Abell asked if there were any other questions. Ms. Visnick asked Ms.Abell if the City Council approves this then the School Committee would need to revisit it, as it pertains to subcommittees, but that there was nothing to act on tonight. Ms.Abell stated there was nothing that required action tonight. Mayor Cahill added he thought this would be one of the items to go on the ballot after special legislation passed it, but not until the municipal election in 2023; and the first time those positions would be on the ballot would be 2025. Ms Abell stated that this body has been informed that the report exists and is before the City Council. She stated if Members have questions or concerns they should reach out to the City Council. B. Upcoming Meetings & Dates- (BevCam 2:03:35) a. May Dates to Remember Ms.Abell reported the Finance and Facilities Subcommittee and Committee of the Whole will meet on May 25.

Discuss June COTW Date The Senior Clap Out, at the elementary schools, is scheduled for June 1 and graduation is Sunday, June 5.

Ms.Abell stated they did not need to set the date tonight but wanted to put the idea out there. C. Fall 2022 School Committee Schedule * (BevCam 2:06:52) Ms.Abell reported the committee needed to vote on the Fall 2022 School Committee calendar with one option that needed to be decided on. Ms.Abell said she would entertain a motion to adopt the Fall 2022 School Committee Schedule recognizing that in December they could choose the 14th or the 21st. Mayor Cahill stated he felt that it's harder to get people's attention the closer they get to the holidays and felt the 14th was the better date. Mayor Cahill made a motion to adopt the Fall 2022 School Committee Schedule, as presented, with the December 14, 2022 date selected for the Finance and Facilities and Committee of the Whole Meetings. Ms. Visnick seconded the date and motion. Mayor asked for clarification on the note at the bottom of the schedule and Ms.Abell corrected the language to read, "Hybrid option assumes a quorum and the chair are physically present." explaining that after July 15, 2022 we revert back to the way the Attorney General approved the remote participation with four(4) people being in person.

Dr. Charochak added that they are aware the numbers are only based on what is reported. B. Overnight Field Trip- ROTC Camp Edwards, Cape Cod, MA(6/21-6/24/22) (BevCam 2:12:01) MSgt Wise addressed the Committee Members for approval of the Camp Edwards, Cape Cod, MA overnight field trip. He stated it is one of two proposed annual trips and the culmination of events for cadets. They are collaborating with Salem High School and there will be a total of 30 cadets participating,18 from Beverly, 12 from Salem, six(6) chaperones and an army medic. They will travel by bus to the site, once there the cadets will be walking to all events and will be wearing safety vests. He noted there is limited traffic on the base and all costs are paid for by USMarine Corp. There will be a male and female wings and controls in place so there is no commingling during the evenings. MSgt Wise went over the training the cadets will be participating in and the rules and regulations. Mayor Cahill asked how many male and female chaperones would be attending. MSgt. Wise reported five (5) male and and one (1) female. A motion was made by Mayor Cahill to approve the overnight field trip to Camp Edwards, Cape Cod, MA. The motion was seconded by Ms. Visnick and approved by a roll call vote. The following roll call votes were recorded: Mayor Michael Cahill -Yes Ms. Coelho -Yes Dr. Kenann McKenzie -Yes Ms. Robinson -Yes Dr. Jeffrey Silva -Yes Ms. Visnick-Yes Ms.Abell -Yes Motion passed 7:0. C. Revisit School Choice Participation * (BevCam 2:16:54) Dr. Charochak summarized the School Choice parameters voted on at the April 13th School Committee Meeting, 10 seats in Grades K-8 and 15 seats in Grades 9-12 with the understanding we would revisit it tonight. Dr. Charochak reported that she had spoken with Ms. Taylor about the numbers and capacity, applications have been reviewed, noting one change in grade 12 where a seat opened up eliminating the need for a lottery, but leaving one person on the waitlist. Dr. Charochak stated it was her understanding that we are looking only at Grades 9- 12 tonight. Ms. Taylor joined the meeting to respond to questions about the number of seats being offered and whether it's a strain on any classes. Ms. Taylor reported the high school participates in the Educatius Program where they accept international students. This year there are twelve students attending, in different grade levels and they are here on an F-1 Visa for one (1) year. They have been asked to accept 18 students for the 2022-2023 school year, with twelve coming. Educatiaus finds the host families for the students and once enrolled the students need to be placed, depending on their interest and needs, as well the school choice students. Ms. Taylor stated that most times it works out fine as students are taking different courses but one major concern is when a special program has a large number of students, that could be an impact that they see. Mayor Cahill asked what has been our high number of international students precovid, are we agreeing to the 18 students, and are we good on capacity with 15 school choice students. Ms. Taylor stated that it was hard to directly answer those questions. She said the numbers next year are higher in a lot of places but wanted to note that the international students pay$13,500 in tuition. She stated that because they do not know what the student's curriculum needs are until they arrive makes it hard to answer Mayor Cahill's questions. She added that the number of Beverly students has gone up causing a rise in certain class sizes, sometimes the need for specialized programs tips the numbers. Ms. Visnick stated with regards to tipping the numbers, would that also be true of the school choice students. Dr. Charochak stated that yes, because we would not know their needs until they register. Ms. Visnick asked if we accept the school choice students and they want to register for a class that is already full would you say no? Ms. Taylor stated yes, that we would do that for students in any case. Ms. Taylor provided an example that culinary arts is the most popular elective and there are never enough spots for the number of students that want to take it. Ms. Visnick asked Ms. Taylor, as Principal, would she recommend we lower our number of choice students, given what you said earlier. Ms. Taylor said her recommendation would be not to increase them. Ms.Abell asked if there was any motion or did the Committee want to let our prior motion stand. Ms. Visnick stated that her reason before was because it was just one child. Dr. Charochak stated that, for transparency reasons, she wanted to let them know that we have one grade 7 student currently on the waitlist that is a sibling and what the Committee's thoughts were on that. Mayor Cahill remarked that he thought Dr. Charochak said before there was one pending in grade 12 with a seat opening up but that there is still one on the waitlist. Dr. Charochak stated that the application was received after the deadline. Mayor Cahill stated, in regards to the grade 7 student that there are three (3) on the waitlist but the other two (2)would not get in. Dr. Charochak explained that siblings go immediately to the top. Ms.Abell added that historically those jump to top but on the waitlist and they wait it out. She stated she feels that should stay the way it is. Ms. Visnick asked how many siblings and Dr. Charochak said she could not give out that information; she just wanted to let them know. Ms. Visnick noted as a parent of multiple children it's difficult to get to multiple schools. Ms. Visnick stated she wanted to make a motion but that it unfortunate the middle school principal wasn't here to speak to it. Dr. Charochak reminded the Committee that we have a very full middle school and she is comfortable with waiting. C. FY23 Budget- Discussion and Vote * (BevCam 2:30:39) Dr. Charochak stated her next item is the draft budget proposal which she reviewed at the budget hearing. She stated the appropriated budget proposal is $69,359,898.00 and she would answer any questions they may have. Ms.Abell stated that they had published the public hearing in the Salem News on May 2nd, running it for the allotted time and noted the fact that there were no public speakers at the hearing. She added that this Committee had numerous opportunities to hear from Ms. Sherburne, Dr. Charochak, and others and it was put on tonight's agenda with the option to vote. Ms.Abell stated she would entertain a motion to accept the Superintendent and Business Director's FY23 draft budget request for the appropriation that goes onto City Council via the Mayor's budget with the total amount being, $69,359,898.00. Mayor Cahill stated if people are ready to vote he would make the motion but wanted to point out that the City Contribution did not reflect the total amount. Dr. Charochak noted that it was an oversight and that it was an old slide. Mayor Cahill stated he would make the motion to accept the Superintendent's recommendation and approve the budget at$69,359,898.00 comprised of the city contribution and Chapter 70. Dr. Silva seconded the motion. Ms. Visnick stated that she was elated with some of the items in the budget; City Connects, sustainability numbers and the restoration of one shared elementary librarian, with the hopes to add another person(s) at some time. Ms.Abell stated she feels this is a really solid budget with flexibility and that it aligns our resources to our values. The motion was approved by a roll call vote. The following roll call votes were recorded: Mayor Michael Cahill -Yes Ms. Coelho -Yes Dr. Kenann McKenzie -Yes Ms. Robinson -Yes Dr. Jeffrey Silva -Yes Ms. Visnick-Yes Ms.Abell -Yes Motion passed 7:0 D. DIP Action Plan Progress Update (BevCam 2:35:32) Dr. Charochak provided a progress update on the District Improvement Plan (DIP) going over the four goal areas commenting that they have made some small changes to the language in the larger document. She said they spent time together as a leadership team along with some of the focus groups. She stated that they changed the wording of the first goal to, Creating Conditions that Promote Equity, feeling that this brings a lens of equity in a different way. Dr. Charochak reported that they have chosen five (5) focus areas, within the goals, for the 2022-2023 school year. Goal 1 - Creating Conditions that Promote Equity the focus areas will be Fostering a Positive School Community and Ensuring a Whole Child Approach to Success. Goal 2 - Rigorous &Consistent Curriculum with the focus area being Advanced Coursework, Goal 3- Innovative Practices and Goal 4 - Operations and Management, the focus areas will be Reducing Bias in Hiring Practices and Procedures and Climate Action Planning for Schools. Dr. Charochak stated they are looking to create a Climate Action Committee to conduct a review of operations to identify areas then they can move forward. Dr. Charochak reported how they will put forward these initiatives, monitor the progress and measure the impact. She added that the DIP has been shared with the schools and this is the starting point for them. The schools will share their School Improvement Plan next month at CISL meeting. Ms. Robinson asked Dr. Charochak, in reference to Goal 1 focus area, the creation of the Superintendent's Student Ambassador Cabinet, how she would go about inviting/selecting students. Dr. Charochak stated she had the opportunity to be a part of a group of superintendents that are doing this and there is an application process. She added that she is also looking for a broad range of voices and is consulting with the people that have done this work.As she learns more she will share that information. Ms. Robinson asked in regards to the numbers and large AP classes, if we are trying to add students to our advanced classes what is the tipping number before adding another section. Principal Taylor stated that the capacity is thirty, then the next question becomes staffing. Principal Taylor used the example of the AP Psychology course, which had the largest response, 76 students, which would be at least three (3) sections so she said she was looking at staffing schedules. She stated they would go to thirty then see how many sections we can offer depending on staffing. Dr. Silva voiced his concern about policies around cell phone use. He stated he would like to hear from Dr. Charochak, Dr. Flaherty, and Mrs. Taylor as to whether they are a problem and what is needed to implement these changes. Dr. Charochak remarked that the policy on electronic devices will be coming forward at next month's CISL meeting. She added that Mrs. Taylor has been working with the staff getting their input on how best to enforce and strengthen the compliance around cell phones. Dr. Charochak commented that she is also hearing from teachers that there is a concern, we have a policy in play and added that they want to make sure we have buy-in from our teachers. She stated they are also having conversations about this at the middle school around implementation and enforcement of the policy. D.
