POLICY SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING

A meeting of the Policy Subcommittee was held on October 26, 2022 at 5:40 pm in the Coddington Building. Present were Subcommittee members Mr. Doug Gutro and Mrs. Kathryn Hubley. Also present were Mayor Thomas P. Koch, School Committee Chair and School Committee Members Mrs. Tina Cahill, Mrs. Emily Lebo, Mr. Frank Santoro; Superintendent Kevin Mulvey, Ms. Allison Cox, Ms. Julie Graham, Mr. James Mullaney, Ms. Madeline Roy, Mr. Keith Segalla, and Ms. Laura Owens, Clerk.

Mayor Koch asked the Policy Subcommittee to consider naming the new Point Webster Middle School field for Private John Mariano. Private Mariano grew up in the neighborhood and attended Point Junior High School and Quincy High School before serving in the U.S. Army. He was killed in action in Korea in 1952.

Mr. Gutro made a motion to name the Point Webster Middle School field in memory of Private John Mariano. Mrs. Hubley seconded the motion and on a voice vote, the ayes have it.

The next item on the agenda was the review of a draft survey of Quincy Public Schools professional staff members about student cell phone and other personal electronic device usage in schools. There are separate questions for high school staff focused around the change in practice for this school year (eliminating use during class time) and for elementary and middle school staff about adherence to the current practice (devices are to be stored in lockers). After discussion of the questions and suggestions for changes, it was agreed that a revised survey will be presented for review at the November 9, 2022 Policy Subcommittee meeting.

The last item on the agenda was a review of the proposed revision to School Committee Policy Section 9.7.12 Service Animal Policy, which is being updated to reflect current state regulations and has been reviewed by legal counsel

Ms. Graham said the existing policy is significantly outdated, and we have several families who have requested service animals as an accommodation which would be documented in student IEP. Before a service animal is allowed to attend school, the Superintendent’s approval is required.

Mrs. Hubley asked about a staff member or student who may be allergic or have concerns about having a dog in the classroom. Ms. Graham reviewed the notification process and that the needs of all in the classroom must be balanced. Mrs. Hubley asked about the safety factors, what about certification for adult handlers. Ms. Graham said they would be subject to the same background checks as any QPS employee. Mrs. Hubley is concerned about the disruption of having the animal and handler in the classroom.

Mrs. Hubley asked about the service animal having an accident in the classroom, who would be responsible for cleaning up after the animal. Ms. Graham said the animals are trained not to void themselves for great lengths of time, but the handler is responsible for cleanup, whether it is the student or an adult.

Mrs. Lebo asked who will manage the implementation of this Policy, Ms. Graham said the Special Education team will do so and doesn’t expect this to be more onerous than other accommodations.

Ms. Graham noted that this Policy is for Service Animals, not emotional support animals.

Mrs. Cahill asked who certifies that the animals are appropriately trained and the need is documented. Ms. Graham said the IEP team would first evaluate if the student’s disability calls for a Service Animal. The accommodation has to be evaluated and updated annually.

Mrs. Hubley asked for minor language changes.

Mr. Gutro made a motion to approve the revised School Committee Policy Section 9.7.12 Service Animal Policy as amended. Mrs. Hubley seconded the motion and on a voice vote, the ayes have it.

Mrs. Hubley made a motion to adjourn at 6:20 pm, seconded by Mr. Gutro. On a voice vote, the ayes have it.

MASC Resolutions

(Vote)

Team Administrators Kerri Connolly and Jennifer Leary presented the Early Childhood Program Improvement Plan, reviewing the program structure of Integrated Pre-Kindergarten and CARES classes located at the Della Chiesa Early Childhood Center, Point Webster Middle School, and Snug Harbor Community School. Full-Day Kindergarten classrooms are in all eleven elementary school locations. Supports for Occupational, Physical, and Speech & Language Therapy are provided in all locations. All Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten classrooms are staffed by a teacher and one or more Paraprofessionals. Curriculum is aligned with Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social & Emotional Learning. Both Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten have an array of curriculum and assessment materials for age-appropriate instruction and student achievement.

In reflecting on last year’s goals, the Integrated Pre-Kindergarten team implemented age-appropriate components of Community Circles as part of their daily routines, with an emphasis on expected behaviors, respect, and enhancing social skills. The Integrated Pre-Kindergarten team also collaborated to develop classroom practices to help students identify feelings and emotions in themselves and others. The Kindergarten teachers’ goals were focused on new curriculum initiatives: initial implementation of Illustrative Mathematics and the new early literacy universal and dyslexia screener, Amplify mCLASS with Dibels.

For 2022-2023, the goals for the Integrated Pre-Kindergarten Team are to (1) implement daily literacy activities to increase student learning in the area of phonological awareness, in which students learn to manipulate language and hear the sounds in spoken words and (2) to introduce a monthly character trait and incorporate character education into play theme activities. The Kindergarten Team will fully implement Illustrative Mathematics core math resource to meet the academic standards presented in the 2017 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Mathematics.

Mr. Gutro asked if there is a cap on the number of students enrolled in Pre-Kindergarten, Ms. Connolly said there are currently 359 students enrolled. Since the majority of the classes are integrated special education and typically developing students, additional classes can be added if the number of special education students grows.

Mrs. Lebo noted that Pre-Kindergarten students attend school two or four half days per week in the Integrated program.

Mr. Santoro asked about District Determined Measures, Ms. Connolly explained that there is an Assessment checklist developed by the Pre-Kindergarten team and used by teachers to evaluate skill developments.

Mr. Santoro asked about English Learner needs for Pre-Kindergarten students. Ms. Connolly said that picture clues are used as much as possible and Ms. Graham said there is a Pre-Kindergarten English Learner screening tool.

Mrs. Cahill made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Lebo to approve the Early Childhood Program Improvement Plan. On a voice vote, the ayes have it.

Plan Presentation

Coordinator of English Language Arts and Literacy Bridget Vaughan presented the Literacy Program Improvement Plan, sharing the new instructional vision statement developed by a team of educators: All students will have an equitable experience with English Language Arts in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, based on the science of reading. Students will develop these necessary skills that are the foundations for creative and purposeful expression in language. The Quincy Public Schools Literacy program was developed to identify and support students in Kindergarten through Grade 2 who struggle to acquire foundational literacy skills. Students are selected by the Integrated Learning Team based on assessment results and overall reading performance. Students are tiered into a three-level system indicating the degree of support required.

In reflecting on last year’s goals, Kindergarten through Grade 2 students improved their foundational reading skills as evidenced by an overall decrease in the number of tier 3 students, by more than 5% at each grade level. For Grade 3, the targeted increase of RIT points on the MAP Assessment was met.

Literacy Team goals for 2022-2023 are (1) Kindergarten through Grade 2 students will improve their foundational reading skills as evidenced by an overall decrease in the number of tier 3 students. This will be measured by a decrease of 10% for Grades K-1 students and a decrease of 5% for Grade 2 students. (2) To support the district goal of improving reading comprehension through small group instruction and implementation of targeted reading interventions, as evidenced by an increase of 10 RIT points for Grades 2 and 3.

Information about the array of curriculum options, related professional development, and the GLEAM grant funding for the new Tier 1 core ELA program was shared with School Committee.

Mrs. Hubley asked about Literacy program staffing, six elementary schools have one Literacy Specialist, while the other five schools have two or as many as four Literacy staff members. Ms. Vaughan said the staffing is adjusted based on the number of students needing Literacy interventions at each school.

Mrs. Cahill said the deliberateness of the Literacy program is evident through the student successes.

Mr. Gutro made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Cahill to approve the Literacy Program Improvement Plan. On a voice vote, the ayes have it.
