Francis “Fran” Gougeon claims many years of Hatfield service to his credit. A former Hatfield school superintendent, interim superintendent and long-time Finance and CIPC member, Fran has emerged several times from retirement to assist the town in choosing superior candidates for key Hatfield positions by volunteering for duty on screening committees. Though at times town politics can be polarizing, Fran’s insightful input and understated manner were the foundations for successful teamwork. His many contributions have not gone unnoticed and we hope to show appreciation through this dedication. Thank you, Fran. You are wished many years of enjoyment; golfing, skiing and the continued testing of your mettle through parachuting, zip lining and the like. 4 ATHENIAN OATH We will never bring disgrace to this our town, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the town, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the town’s laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty, thus in all these ways we will transmit this town not only less, but greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. 5 Demographics Area 9,300 acres Elevation 132 feet at Main Street Population 3,408 STATE SENATOR Franklin-Hampshire District Joanne Comerford State House Room 70C, Boston, MA 02133 Ph.

This report highlights some of the activities of the Board of Selectmen for last year: • FINANCIAL OVERVIEW: The Town authorized to fund $215,903.00 to the Stabilization Fund. Recommendations from the Department of Revenue, Division of Local Services, during the Town’s review updating its Financial Policies, a trust fund was created for “Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB)” in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standard Board’s requirements; accepted the provisions of M.G.L Ch. 200A, §9A to adopt a policy outlining the requirements of the Treasurer for managing uncashed checks. We conducted a search to hire a Finance Director due to a decision by Baystate Municipal Accounting Group who would close their accounting services operations at the end of the year. In conclusion, we pursued outsourcing the accounting services. • COMMISSION ON DISABILITY: Pursuant to M.G.L Ch. 40, a municipal commission was established. • CH. 43D EXPEDITED PERMITTING: An amendment to the Town’s Zoning By-Laws received support to accept M.G.L Ch. 43D which gives the Town the ability to promote commercial development, including mixed-used properties, on pre-approved parcels by offering expedited local permitting on those parcels, and, designate properties as Priority Development Sites. Following town meeting authorization, the Town’s Priority Development Site on West Street received approval from the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development. • DPW COLLECTIVE BARGANING AGREEMENT: The Town ratified Agreement with Teamsters Local 404 Union for July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2022. • PHASE II TOWN HALL RENOVATIONS PROJECT: A contract was awarded to Marois, Inc., for $1,955,000.00 for handicap accessibility improvements and installation of a fire suppression system. Improvements will include a ramp at the west-end egress of the building to the basement. Construction began in late August, with demolition of the south side exterior ramp, including interior demolition for a new elevator. • RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA CULTIVATION: Host Community Agreement was approved with Urban Grown, Inc., for a marijuana cultivating facility at 55 Depot Road, pending the approval of a license from the Cannabis Control Commission. Urban Grown, Inc., later withdrew their application without prejudice. 7 • MASSWORKS GRANT AWARD: The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development awarded the Town with a $2,000,000.00 Grant for its Rt. 5&10 Water/Sewer Infrastructure Project. Estimated total cost of project is $3,600,000.00 to extend sewer service from Linseed Road to Rocks Road and water service for 1200 ft. south of Rocks Road. Director to the Council on Aging, Jane Betsold, retired after 30 years of providing services to our senior citizens. Thank you to Jane for her commitment and support to looking out for our seniors. To the many volunteers for their support and dedication to our community and the commitment of our town employees, our sincere appreciation for all you do. Respectfully submitted, Brian F. Moriarty, Chairman Edmund E. Jaworski Diana M. Szynal 8 350th ANNIVERSARY STEERING COMMITTEE Website: http://www.hatfield350.com/ Email: [email protected] The time is here! Hatfield, founded in 1670, began the official celebration of its 350th Anniversary in December, 2019. The committee was formed in the fall of 2017 and these dedicated individuals have been working hard to create a full year of celebration to honor our town: past, present and future. We had a very successful logo contest with approximately 50 entries. Townspeople had a few opportunities to vote and decided on the winning logo (pictured above). With the logo we have launched a website, Facebook page and other means of communicating the information to the town. A fundraising committee was established and is well underway to help bring as many events to the town as possible. We have purchased a huge birthday cake (which is located next to the town hall) from the Town of Westfield to highlight our celebration. Any person or business who would like to make a contribution to our 350th Anniversary fund please contact our marketing committee or the Hatfield town hall for more information. For all of those who have contributed (whether in kind or cash) to our fundraising fund, we thank you for your generous gift. 2020 will offer a wide variety of programs and events.

Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the Fall 2017 athletic season and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester are eligible for selection to the Fall All-Academic Team.

Through e- learning, students are able to use online resources and tools to access the curriculum at their individual levels, using multimedia to support their learning needs. Teachers are able to differentiate instruction, engage today's students, and communicate with students outside the school day. Schools and districts are able to expand the courses they provide for students and the professional development they provide for teachers. The National Education Technology Plan states, "E-learning offers flexibility in the time, place and pace of instruction. It provides teachers the opportunity to create an instructional environment that adapts to students wherever and however they need to learn, at home or in school."1 E-learning is impacting student achievement by improving instructional methods, enriching curriculum content, and expanding learning communities. E-Learning in Massachusetts presents some of the many ways schools are using online technologies. This report illustrates how Massachusetts educators are taking advantage of e-learning opportunities to improve student learning. Educators across the state are using online courses and resources, online events and projects, and online professional development.
