Name: Patricia Reynolds Address: 5 Douglass Lane

______4 ______Middlesex Public Schools – MHS Peter J. Diskin Auditorium REGULAR PUBLIC MEETING MINUTES May 10, 2021 7:00 PM

Comment: Wanted to know why the agenda changed three times. Why renew Dr. Rafalowski if it is his intention to resign? Also once the board approves his resignation can it be retracted?

Name: Roger Sanchez Address: 612 Beechwood Avenue Comment: Wanted to know what was going to happen to the Board President and Dr. Rafalowski. Who approved the Facebook email prior to it being sent?

Name: Joseph Igneri Address: 328 Dorn Avenue Comment: This is the first time attending a board meeting. Dr. Rafalowski made it personal by attacking parents. The email made it to Good Morning America. Leaders need to make tough decisions. It is very difficult for teachers to teach remotely.

Name: Robert Sherr Address: 212 Lucia Street Comment: Why are there two action items for the reappointment of Dr. Rafalowski and then a second action item for the resignation of Dr. Rafalowski? It makes more sense to amend the resolution for the reappointment of Dr. Rafalowski through September 30, 2021.

Name: Patricia Reynolds Address: 5 Douglass Lane Comment: Can a resignation be rescinded? Mrs. Giardina stated that once the board accepts a resignation it can only be rescinded by board resolution and approval.

Name: Roger Sanchez Address: 612 Beechwood Avenue Comment: I want to know who approved the Facebook photo email to be sent by Dr. Rafalowski? And why it can’t be discussed in public? How can it be approved by the district and then it can’t be discussed? How do things get approved? I need clarity.

Name: Elyse Robbins Address: 400 Fulton Street Comment: Not everyone agrees with all parents. I was going to move from this town based on how the citizens have been acting with such hatred towards people. Everyone has the same goal, to get kids back in school. We are all here for the kids so let’s work together. I want to thank Dr. Williams, Dr. Rafalowski, and the board for getting the students back in person part time. I am impressed of what the district has done during a pandemic.

Name: Joseph Igneri Address: 328 Dorn Avenue Comment: There is no room for hatred but the board made it personal. The data is clear that suicide rates are up since the pandemic. Kids are being hurt and this is what struck a nerve.

Board President closed the meeting to public comments.
