Middlesex Public Schools – MHS Library/Media Center BOARD OF EDUCATION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES June 10, 2019 7:00 PM
Ms. Ryan regularly goes above and beyond to address the unique needs of her special education students. She is creative and innovative in looking at the individual needs of each of her students and goes out of her way to identify plans to increase not only academic, but also social, emotional and behavioral goals. Ms. Ryan understands the value in providing inclusion opportunities for her students who are self-contained. She frequently creates reverse inclusion opportunities with general education teachers’ classes and has her students participate in inclusion social skills opportunities as well. Ms. Ryan continually challenges herself to increase her knowledge across a variety of areas to better assist her students. She has taken courses on Orton Gillingham multisensory reading instruction, ELL services and her background as an EMT proves as an invaluable support to our more medically fragile students. Ms. Ryan is an exceptional teacher which is why I believe she deserves the “spotlight.”
Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Madison reported on the following:
o VEM 8th Grade Formal Dance was held June 7, 2019.

Perhaps the committees that meet between this meeting and the next can discuss if we are interested in passing the proposed resolutions as a group to also oppose them.
