Others Present: Carol Pilarski (Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and

Middle School); Anne Carothers (Principal Diamond Middle School); Louise Lipsitz (Principal
Hastings); Laura Lasa (Principal Lexington High School); Dr. Mary Anton (Principal Bowman );
Meg Colella (Principal Bridge Elementary School)
The Chair announced that the agenda for tonight’s meeting would be taken out of order due to
the difficult day at Bridge. She invited the administration, through Pat Goddard, Director of
Public Facilities, to provide an update on the Bridge evacuation which took place earlier in the
day, and said she would then recognize Dr. Czajkowski for further information.
Update from administration:
Pat Goddard: This morning the Bridge Elementary School was evacuated after staff detected a
natural gas odor in the gymnasium during a performance. Department of Public Facilities staff
responded and an exhaust extension will be installed to reduce the possibility of combustion air
being entrained into the fresh air supply. Goddard identified the cause of the gas odor as
combustible, gas-filled air being incorrectly funneled back into the gymnasium through the
outside-air intake. The outside-air intake allows for fresh air to be transported into the school.
On September 5, 2014, Bridge was evacuated because of reports of a gas odor. A similar event
occurred on December 17, 2014. The next occurrence was in December 2015, and the school
was evacuated again in March 2015 “due to noise created by ice settling.” A gas odor was
reported on the playground on December 16, and on December 21 inside the building. Goddard
said improvements to the gas system were installed in September 2014 including adding more
sealant to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), the programming of the
equipment was modified, and exhaust stacks were added to help keep combustible air from fresh
air in the outside-air intake. Goddard is exploring other consultants to take a look at the HVAC.
Dr. Czajkowski thanked parents and recognized Central Office Staff and Bridge Administration,
Fire and Police Department. Dr. Czajkowski emphasized that student safety was the first priority
and said the administration was looking at alternate ways to ensure this will not happen again.
She added that a permanent solution was necessary. In the interim, one option is to have
students keep coats and hats in the classroom. Exploring a possibility of hiring 6-7 buses staged
at Bridge in the event of another evacuation, at least until a solution is identified. School
Committee has offered their support; a cost estimate will be presented for review. Dr.
Czajkowski is also exploring other locations as evacuation locations. Students were safe and
returned to school by 10:00 a.m. This was a very difficult day. Dr. Czajkowski and Mr.
Goddard will be attending a Bridge Site Council meeting on January 27 to discuss this matter.
During public comment, Ms. Steigerwald asked those present if anyone was in attendance for the
budget hearing – one person indicated she was there for the budget hearing. The Chair asked the
individual and the members of the School Committee if they wished to pause the public
1.19.16 Meeting Minutes approved 2.23.16 3
comments to hold the hearing, or to extend time for comments. The individual and all
Committee members agreed they would like to allow further comment.

Many parents addressed their concerns to the School Committee and Dr. Czajkowski regarding
the evacuation at Bridge Elementary School. They asked for a solution to the facilities problems
at Bridge Elementary School. Parents reported that students left the building without their coats
and were extremely upset. They requested a contingency plan should this happen again so the
students won’t be outside without their coats. Bridge parents asked why there are so many
facilities problems that take place at Bridge Elementary, but not at Bowman Elementary, which
is an identical school, and was renovated at the same time. Parents heard reports of children
being traumatized from the event, and called on the guidance counselors to look into the issue.
Parents supported Ms. Colella for her decision to remove the students from the school.
School Committee members thanked all the parents and administration and expressed their
concerns regarding the evacuation. A member suggested that every school have a nearby facility
to shelter students in case of an evacuation. The School Committee will be reviewing reports at
their February 2 School Committee meeting from Mr. Goddard and Dr. Czajkowski.

January 23rd at 10:00 a.m.

A.2 – Planning Board Presentation on Proposed “Governmental – Civic Use” (GC) Zoning
District and School Committee Discussion.
Presenter: Charles Hornig, Planning Board
Summary: The Planning Board is asking Town Meeting to amend the Zoning Bylaw and
Zoning Map by defining a new district or districts, including establishing allowed uses,
dimensional standards and transition and screening requirements and amend the Zoning Map by
rezoning parcels owned by governmental bodies held for public use into the new district, or act
in any other manner in relation thereto. This will impact existing school property. It also may
impact the future ability of the Town to acquire land for school purposes. The Planning Board is
sending a representative to the School Committee meeting so members are aware of the proposal
and have an opportunity to ask questions in advance of Town Meeting.
Description: The Governmental – Civic Use (GC) zoning district is proposed to recognize the
public nature of particular parcels of land and provide standards and guidelines for their
continued use while ensuring that the use of these properties is related to the policies of the
community, and that any development in the district, if any, will be compatible with surrounding
districts and uses. The public hearing on this article is scheduled for January 20, 2016, in the
Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building, 1625 Massachusetts Avenue at 7 PM.
Follow Up: School Committee may wish to take a position on this for Town Meeting. Members
may wish to follow the development of the proposal prior to Town Meeting.
School Committee members asked Mr. Horning questions about the impact on school property.

1.19.16 Meeting Minutes approved 2.23.16 5
Maureen Kavanaugh (Director of Planning and Assessment) - and Valerie Viscosi (K-12
Director of Counselling): Surveys are a good start; guidance has started to collect more detailed
data throughout the year on Suicide Ideation. This is the first year that data is being collected

A.6 – Vote to Appoint Permanent Building Committee Members for Clarke and Diamond
School Projects.
Steigerwald reached out to all those that applied and gave them information that Mr. Valente had
suggested we have two spots for Clarke and two spots for Diamond and in addition we could
have two spots for the modulars; Bowman, Bridge and Fiske. School Committee has not yet
invited the community to apply for the modular projects yet, as they were just informed, and
would do so at a later date. School Committee thanked Mr. Hurley for serving as one of the
appointed members on the Permanent Building Committee (PBC) for school projects on the seat
titled “Multiple School Projects”.
Motion that the School Committee end the appointment of Mr. Hurley on Multiple School
Projects for the Permanent Building Committee (PBC). (Crocker/Alessandrini).
The Motion was approved unanimously.
Steigerwald would like the community to know that 3 members (Hurley, Coppe and Crocker) are
interested. Mr. Himmel spoke very highly of Mr. Hurley’s service to date and recommended that
Mr. Hurley’s service on each of the projects would be welcome. Since we have 4 spots we could
have two School Committee members and two residents. We anticipate there will be two spots
at Hastings soon. Letters will be going out to all candidates; next meeting is scheduled for
February 11th.
Mr. Alessandrini suggested including all 6 candidates for the projects. Not 6 per project but
divide them among all the projects. Alessandrini also suggested that you could have one School
Committee member and one resident.
Coppe asked for clarification on the seating; 2 for Diamond and 2 for Clarke, up to 2 for each of
the 3 modulars. Coppe believes that 2 for each of the modulars is overkill they are not as
complicated. Coppe expressed a concern about appointing School Committee members. Coppe
1.19.16 Meeting Minutes approved 2.23.16 6
showed interest in the modulars and stated that Hastings would also be opened in the future.
Recommends: Goodell at Diamond, Chase at Clarke, Coppe at the modulars, Hobbs either one,
Hasting in the future. Wants to vote on the Middle Schools tonight.
Hurley asked for clarification on the 3 modulars, since an invitation has not been sent out for
those 3 projects – should we wait until we do that instead of assigning people that applied for the
two middle schools. There will be residents interested in the modulars as it applies to their
district. As far as the two middle schools there are distinct advantages to appointing a School
Committee member. He would be interested in both but would like to see more people involved.
His preference is Diamond and recommends Crocker at Clarke as she’s been the liaison and has
followed these projects. Recommends: Hobbs and Goodell be representatives to the two middle
schools. Wait for more feedback from the Elementary and those that have applied for these may
be interested in the modulars. Points out that when Hastings comes forward there will be two
appointees to those as well. Harrington/Pelham are also potential future projects.
Crocker would like to suggest that we appoint Hobbs, Chase, Goodell and Mr. Hurley for the
middle school projects. Crocker would be willing to remove herself from the docket and either
put herself back in for the Hastings which will be down the line or the modulars.
Motion that the School Committee vote to appoint Permanent Building Committee (PBC)
members to Clarke and Diamond for multiple school projects and at Diamond Mr. Goodell
and Mr. Hurley to be our representatives and at Clarke Ms. Chase and Mr. Hobbs. (Moved by
Alessandrini /Steigerwald seconded).
The Motion was approved unanimously.
A.5 – Extended Day Program Request for Proposals (RFP) #16-1
Presenter: Ian Dailey
Summary: The School Department is approaching the end of a five-year agreement to provide
after-school care at the elementary school level. This current contract concludes on June 30,
2016. The final year of this agreement included the addition of a program at Bridge Elementary
School, so that all six elementary schools could offer a program on-site. With the end of the
current agreement approaching, staff worked with Principals and other stakeholders to develop a
new Request or Proposals. This agreement would span July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2019 with two
possible one-year extensions (up to June 30, 2021). In an effort to maintain appropriate timelines
for awarding the agreement, this Request for Proposals is being released January 19, 2016.
Should there be any substantive requested changes, the can be issued via an Addendum. The full
Request for Proposals timeline can be found attached.
The recommended Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks to maintain the current after school
program as it is operated today, as an after-school program offered at all six elementary schools.
Additionally, with the potential implementation of Elementary World Language triggering the
elimination of half-day Thursdays at the elementary level, pricing will be required for both
scenarios. Should the School Committee implement the Elementary World Language program
and eliminate half-day Thursdays at the elementary school level, this RFP will already have
pricing included accordingly.
1.19.16 Meeting Minutes approved 2.23.16 7
Feedback has been provided to the School Department seeking a before-school program be
implemented at the elementary level as well as an after-school program at the middle school
level. Staff is not recommending these additional requests be included in this Request for
Proposal as outlined below.
Currently schools are experiencing compressed program spaces. At the elementary level, many
spaces are already being utilized by schools in the mornings. Many schools use their gyms for
Before School Sports or BOX (K-2 Activity club); their cafeterias for clubs, school breakfasts,
and as a place for students during inclement weather; and their libraries for miscellaneous
meetings. In addition to these compressed spaces being already utilized, our schools are
undergoing multiple school projects to address overcrowding for our core school programs.
Should there be a desire to later add a before school program if space becomes less compressed
and the multiple school projects are completed, that could be explored. Additionally, as
previously mentioned, staff has received feedback regarding an after-school program at the
middle schools. Currently, the middle schools have a number of programs and clubs being
offered (including athletics). The middle schools use their gyms for basketball and intramurals;
their cafeterias for clubs; and their libraries for miscellaneous groups such as the METCO After
School Program. In addition to these compressed spaces being already utilized, our middle
schools are undergoing multiple school projects to address overcrowding for our core school
programs. Should there be a desire to later add a middle school program if space becomes less
compressed and the multiple school projects are completed, that could be explored.
School Committee members shared questions and comments for Mr. Dailey.
Motion that the School Committee approve the Extended Day Request for Proposals, as to
form included with this item, for an after-school program at each of the six elementary
schools for a term of July 1, 2016-June 30, 2019, with the option of two one-year extensions
(Crocker/ Coppe).
The Motion was approved (5-0).
In taking up the agenda item on the budget discussion, Ms. Steigerwald suggested identifying an
alternate date to the Public Hearing of 1.23.16 in the event it is snowed out; suggestion was
Tuesday, January 26, 2016, alternate date Saturday 30, 2016 at 10 a.m. Crocker will be on
vacation and will not be able to attend.
A.3 – Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Discussions
Presenter: Dr. Mary Czajkowski and Ian Dailey, Ian Dailey (Interim Director of Finance and
Operations), Ellen Sugita (Director of Special Education)
Summary: The Superintendent’s Fiscal Year 2017 Budget was presented to the School
Committee on January 12, 2016. As part of reviewing the Superintendent’s Recommended
Budget, public hearings are held to gather feedback on the budget. January 19, 2016 is the first of
two public hearings. The second public hearing is on Saturday, January 23, 2016 (at Lexington
High School). Subsequent to this meeting, additional budget discussions will be held on

School Committee Members: Thanked Mr. Daily and the superintendent for their first budget
book and to the principals for streamlining their building requests. In particular, thanked Mr.
Daily for including the student account activity review, salary charts, per pupil Expenditure
charts and for breaking out many line items.
• SPED circuit breaker - thank you for increasing this line item for FY17. According to the revenue chart, there is an upward trend for students with appropriate claims. Can we deliver any of these services in-house? – Answer: Ellen Sugita, there are a number of students that do qualify and services are provided. • Why is the redistricting consultant fee listed for both FY16 and FY17?-Answer: Dr. Czajkowski is looking a phase 1 and phase 2. Phase 1 is currently redistricting to Estabrook and potentially Hastings. Phase 2 after we finish phase 1 looking at Hastings. Continue the work with Applied Geographic (App Geo). • Why is the Superintendent's new assistant listed at the upper end of its proposed salary range? Answer: Dr. Czajkowski is looking at a range at this point, and wants to be sensitive. Dr. Czajkowski is also now considering contracting for services, or a lower range, will post to see if there are qualified candidates. Ian Daily: this position includes benefits. • K assistant is listed therefore we can expect to continue to have some, larger K classrooms? Answer: Ian Daily: Projected additional section for kindergarten. • To lower fees, please look into acquiring in-house legal counsel. • What is the status of the bus captain positions? Answer: Ian Daily: Still in the budget this year and next year, will be done by end of school year. • Detail on the Estabrook morning club – does it pay rent, a nonprofit, and how it ties into the RFP for extended day elementary student care? Answer: Ian Daily: Large amount is addressing the second year of the adjustment of K5 expenditure levels. Adjusted by 1.8%. • Caseload and budget projections for next year would potentially result in caseloads which would be too high – Answer: Dr. Czajkowski, Ian Daily, Ellen Sugita and Principals came up with a reallocation of 28 positions. Decrease in number of students requiring service.
Ian Daily – reported that there was an update to the white book on the High School HVAC was
presented at $186K, was amended in Carl’s white book $500K.

• Census forms have been mailed to Lexington households. It is one vehicle LPS relies on to obtain information on possible incoming public school students. Even if your school-age child does not attend LPS, please complete the yellow form indicating this. • When discussing the school capital plan at the Jan 12 SC meeting, I asked if the SC had or will vote on the traffic site plans. I failed to state the reason I inquired about a vote was to comply with the LPS Policy EEAC - Traffic Safety and Mitigation. I would like the topic to include on the Jan 23 agenda for a committee discussion. • FY16 Safe Routes To School Update – PowerPoint - tabled the Safe Routes update due to the time constraints and will speak to it on Feb 2. • The monthly EDCO meeting is Jan 20 at 10:30am (time change).

None
Steigerwald received an email from a resident inquiring about the status of the School
Committee minutes and the resident noted that minutes were not updated on the Lexington
Public School website. The Superintendent’s Office is the keeper of public records. Steigerwald
shared that Ms. McDonough and Ms. Sousa were sharing files to address this backlog – which
began prior to January 2015. There are many sets of approved minutes that have not been posted
to the website. Though some sets from 2015 had been posted, there were sets from 2014 and
2015 that were not posted. In addition, there were some minutes posted from 2014 where a
corresponding agenda had not been uploaded to the website. The School Committee did not have
a recording secretary from the period of July through October 20, 2015. Members reviewed
print outs from the LPS website that show what the website carried when the resident inquired,
and the current status of the meeting minutes as it is being brought up to date. Steigerwald stated
that counsel has advised that the Committee does not have an obligation to post minutes on the
web site, but that it was helpful to make them accessible to the community and that the work to
complete the update would continue if members agreed they shared this goal – members agreed.
Steigerwald encouraged the residents to contact Ms. McDonough if they are interested in any
minutes or agendas and are not able to find them on the web as they are available through the
office.
