Superintendent’s Report to the School Committee

November 10, 2021

Human Resources Manager 

• Four candidates are being interviewed for round 1, this Friday, November 12th.

• Interview Committee - Ms. Sanborn, Kate Curtis, and Bonnie Lavoie

• Hoping to move at least 2 finalists forward and hold the second round of interviews next week but will need to coordinate schedules. 

• Interview Committee - myself, Martha Sybert, and Attny Deborah Ecker

Vaccine Clinics

• Now four confirmed opportunities: 

• November 16th, November 18th, November 23rd, and December 18th

• All from 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

• COVID 19 Vaccine Clinic Reminders

Vaccination Rates

• Faculty and Staff 338 with 7 exemptions

• High School nurse Amanda Rivers did some cross-referencing of students through Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) and it appears that 530 high school students have been vaccinated. 

• 524 would get us to the 80% but I am still not recommending an unmasking option or applying for a waiver. 

Stanley School Transition

• Understandable, several emails from Stanley parents wanting to be involved and informed about the transition for their children.

• We will absolutely communicate and involve the Stanley School community at the appropriate time. We are not there yet. 

• As I’ve said prior to the vote, we expect to have a plan solidified by January.
