Personnel update:
The Superintendent updated the School Committee on the current personnel issue. The individual was
informed that there would be a two week unpaid suspension and a change in work environment by way
of transfer from days at the Qualter's Middle School to nights at the Jordan Jackson School. It was
noted that the employee is a good worker but it's very fortunate that it was- only a two week suspension
and not a dismissal, which legally could have been the alternative.
The School Committee was briefed on the status of the JJ classroom incident with the substitute and that
it is all documented.
Mrs. Hodges explained that we received notification from the state it was going to provide state monies
to towns and districts to bring those districts falling below foundation level up to minimum level. The
schools will receive approximately $1.2M as a result.
