APPROVAL OF MINUTES December 17, 2012 Regular Meeting MOTION: Mr. Sweeting made a motion, seconded by Ms. Rafal, to approve the minutes of December 17, 2013. The motion was approved via voice vote. January 7, 2013 Organizational Meeting of the School Committee MOTION: Mrs. Cardoso made a motion, seconded by Mr. Niedergang, to approve the minutes of January 7, 2013. The motion was approved via voice vote. IV. REPORT OF SUBCOMMITTEES A. Report of action taken in Executive Session: December 19 (Mr. Bockelman) Central Office Conference Room, 42 Cross Street In attendance: Alderman Taylor, Ms. Rafal, Mr. Sweeting, Mayor Curtatone, Mrs. Cardoso, Mr. Niedergang, Ms. Rossetti and Mr. Bockelman. Also in attendance: Mr. Pierantozzi, Attorney Mary Jo Hollender, Joseph Tringale and Patti Marques. Meeting called to order at 7:05 and adjourned at 9:54 p.m. Mr. Bockelman’s report is as follows. The School Committee took action on one item on the agenda – contract negotiations with the Superintendent on his salary and benefits - that I can report out. ORDER OF BUSINESS January 14, 2013 The Committee discussed the Superintendent’s salary and benefits in light of his recent excellent performance review and in light of the actions taken for other non-union employees with his tenure. It was voted unanimously to increase the Superintendent’s salary by 10% to a total of $196,702 retroactive to July 1, 2012. No other changes to compensation or benefits were made. The Committee agreed to review the contract no later than June 30, 2013 to discuss any other amendments either party wants to make to the contract. This salary increase is in keeping with the approach taken to other non-union employees. I should note that the Superintendent had not had a real adjustment in salary since January 1, 2009. The Committee expressed its appreciation for the hard work and leadership that the Superintendent has given to the District and the City and his willingness, along with many other School employees, to accept a furlough of his salary during the difficult financial times the City has come through. B. Finance & Facilities Subcommittee: January 9 (Ms. Rafal) Central Office Conference Room, 42 Cross Street In attendance: Ms. Rafal and Mrs. Cardoso. Also in attendance: Mr. Sweeting, Mr. Pierantozzi, Ms. Durette and two audience members. Meeting called to order at 7:00 and adjourned at 8:12 p.m. 1. Facilities Update and Capital Improvement Plan 2. Equipment Plan 3. ESCS Update 4. FY13 Expenditure Report 5. FY13 Bill Roll 6. Other Ms. Rafal’s report is as follows: We took the 3rd agenda item first because it was just so exciting to come into the room decorated with pictures of the types of playground equipment that will surround the new East Somerville Community School! The renovations are expected to be substantially complete by March 28, but they will still be working on the details and punch list until July. The plan is for teachers to be able to move in at the end of August. We received updates of all the various progress both inside and outside of the building; mechanical systems are in progress but there have to be some changes to the electrical work because Underwriter’s Laboratory revoked its approval of devices that had been chosen earlier and we can only use current approvals. Flooring, tiles, partitions, painting and outdoor hard-scaping are all being done. Mrs. Cardoso asked how the committees were working and the superintendent said that the committees make recommendations and the Mayor reviews it. He showed us a hefty pile of papers that were bids for the furniture, fixture and equipment committee. The beautiful plans for fields, plantings and playground structures were putting the price about $200,000 over budget and the Superintendent had begun looking for ways to economize but he reports that the Mayor said to use contingency funds so the school can have as much as possible for the kids of East Somerville. Then we went back to the first agenda item, facilities update and Capital Improvement Plan. School-by- school requests come in through principals and school councils and PTAs and in school improvement plans. One of the facilities improvements would be to renovate a classroom near the high school’s atrium entrance in order to keep SKIP students in the district even after they finish 8th grade at the Kennedy. We reviewed the list and learned that while capital improvements have typically been funded with free cash, the city would like to develop multi-year capital planning. We want to keep in mind a decision about the long-range use of the Edgerly and Cummings schools after ESCS opens. Then we reviewed equipment requests. A couple of the top-priority items were a new refrigerated food truck and an activity van used for athletic teams and vocational programs to replace the 10-year-old vehicles we have now. We asked if the language lab would be capital or technology and it is not clear how that will be thought of or budgeted right now. We reviewed the expenditure reports. The budget for the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Assessment is pretty well spent at this point, a great deal of having gone towards the purchase of books for the new Balanced Literacy programs. The other area of concern is Special Ed funding, especially out- of-district tuitions. 2 ORDER OF BUSINESS January 14, 2013 Then we reviewed the bill rolls and bring to the school committee a motion to approve the bill rolls dated 1.08.13 for FY13. MOTION: Ms. Rafal made a motion, seconded by Mr. Sweeting, to approve the bill rolls for 2013. The motion was approved via voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 8:12 pm. MOTION: Ms. Rafal made a motion, seconded by Mr. Bockelman, to accept the report and minutes of the Finance & Facilities Subcommittee Meeting of January 9, 2013. The motion was approved via voice vote. V. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT A. DISTRICT REPORT 29 Members of the Somerville High School Chorus, under the direction of Beverly Mosby, are heading to Washington, D.C. this weekend to perform at the WorldStrides Heritage Inaugural Music Festival during the Presidential Inauguration weekend. The group will perform 3 selections on Saturday, January 19, will attend the Inauguration of President Obama, and will visit numerous historic and cultural sites over the weekend. The SFLC begins its 2013 workshops this Wednesday, January 16th with a 1-1/2 hour presentation for prospective families on “Learning About the Somerville Public Schools,” with an emphasis on Kindergarten. The workshop will be at the Argenziano School from 6:30-8:00pm. On Thursday, January 17th, parents/guardians are invited to attend the “Parenting in the Middle School Years” workshop at the Healey School (5 Meacham Street), presented by Dr. Richard Lerner, Director of the Tufts University Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development. Kindergarten Registration for 2013 is under way. Visit the new K website, www.somerville.k12.ma.us/kindergarten for more information. The Superintendent deferred to Dr. Vincent McKay, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, for some curriculum information. Dr. McKay’s report included the following: 1. Early Education Partnership Grant – Alignment Coordinator Suzanne Gibbons began work last week. The Advisory Committee will help to guide her entry planning. This is a two-year grant which will focus on Kindergarten readiness. First priorities include a focus on the pre-school program providers in the City, including meeting with the directors of these programs.

  • Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Eyes on Historic East Somerville Meeting Place: In front of the Mt. Vernon Restaurant at 14 Broadway, on the Charlestown- Somerville border. The tour will take approximately two hours. At the end participants are encouraged to continue their exploration of East Somerville and have a bite to eat and drink at one of the many culinary spots in the neighborhood, along Broadway. East Somerville ranks among the oldest neighborhoods in Somerville, tracing its development back before the Town was incorporated independent of Charlestown in 1842. It is also among the City's largest neighborhoods -- bounded by the Sullivan Square section of Charlestown on the east, the Washington Street/B&M rail corridor on the south, the McGrath and O'Brien Highway on the west, and the Mystic River on the north. Its proximity to a major east-west highway--Broadway--as well as the construction of railroad stations at the periphery of the area during the 1830s and 1840s strongly influenced the initial development of this neighborhood. Because East Somerville has historically been a neighborhood for over 160 years, it has a multi-layered built environment that can be explored via a variety of tour routes. This particular tour will showcase the variety of housing options available to families of all income levels, from Greek Revival and Italianate residences of the 1840s and 1850s, to modest mid-nineteenth century cottages, to substantial post Civil War Mansard Style "trophy houses." We'll also view neighborhood 1 houses of worship, and discuss ongoing and proposed renovation projects of public buildings along Broadway.

  • Tucked Away Treasures: East Somerville's Rich History and Architectural Legacy
    Tucked Away Treasures: East Somerville’s Rich History and Architectural Legacy Walking Tour with Ed Gordon, in concert with East Somerville Main Streets – Sunday, June 17, 2019 INTRODUCTION This year’s walking tour is focused primarily on residential buildings located between Broadway and Washington Street on the north and south, along the Somerville/Charlestown border, and Myrtle Street on the east and west. East Somerville, together with Prospect Hill and Spring Hill, were among the first sections of Somerville to experience residential development in a more or less comprehensive manner. Due to the vision and calculated risk-taking of local businessmen, suburban subdivisions made the leap from plans on paper to three dimensional reality in what had been Charlestown’s remote “land beyond the Neck.” This land later separated to become the City of Somerville. A primary goal is to showcase the architecturally, and generally historically, significant private residences that have remained largely intact in this easternmost part of Somerville. The buildings will reflect the variety of architectural styles popular during the Victorian era (1837-1901). The tour will highlight the characteristic features of these different architectural styles and tell the “back stories” of the properties that explain how these styles captured the imaginations of builders and homeowners. The intent is to make historic architectural design more accessible, as well as share the sometimes colorful stories of the buildings’ earliest owners. Broadway is an “ancient” highway that dates back to the 1630s. Originally its path did not extend as it does today up and over Winter Hill, but instead intersected with Main Street, following it to the center of Medford.
