a. H1N1 Update
video created, available on demand from Town web site
(the video is also available via this link here)
b. English Language Learners
Need to add a .5 FTE to work with students that are non-English speaking who need additional assistance. It is not an action item for now, she wanted to have it reviewed first. It is a State unfunded mandate. The State will be coming in later this year for a visit and this is one of items they will be looking at.
Our population is getting more diverse.

The document referenced is as follows:
Maureen and Sally are taking 'learning walks' through the schools. Members of the School Committee are invited to join them.
