Dr Bergen comments on the honor it has been to work with all the SchComm members, and others within the district. We are bound by open meeting laws and engage in formal public discussions accordingly. As volunteers, it is never about the paycheck but paying it forward, giving it back. 

Scofield commenting as well, "do we agree all the time, absolutely not, but we agree to disagree and get on with it."

Zub - it wasn't easy to add to the family schedule, they did understand it and made the family work. They all wished to be here tonight, and schedules just wouldn't permit it. I feel blessed to be part of the all female School Committee. I would also like to  thank the public administrative staff. I am so proud of the work that you do.

Glenn Jones, Town Councilor, thanking the committee members for their service, it does mean a lot, id does not get forgotten. The Administration makes us look so good

B. ECDC Developmental Summary

Kelty Kelly, principal of ECDC

thanks to all of you for your commitment and openness, we have had some challenges and to share and be heard meant a lot.

it is a developmental summary, not a report card. The children are 3, 4 and 5. It touches on some subjects as well as social emotional learning as well as socio-motor skills

we are looking to go forward with this, understanding that this is a work in process, assessing after each trimester.

this will go out with a letter to the families, and how to use it.
