00:26:24 some one: so is the bolton ems dependent on the cadets to cover medical calls? 00:27:21 some one: how many firefighters or emts does bolton have full time during the day? 00:42:03 Lorraine: Rich it may be helpful for you and your peers to speak to the students and parents (current and past) who've participated in the program. 00:43:06 Lorraine: It's a significant time constraint. You pass or you don't 00:43:13 Maria dixon: The program is outstanding Richard. We should be doing everything in our power to ensure it can continue. My daughter is part of this program and the EMS team is outstanding. It seems as if you don’t support it and I’m not understanding what your issue is. 00:43:23 Maria dixon: Yes it does 00:44:06 Lorraine: The KIDS in Stow 00:44:19 Maria dixon: It’s an educational benefit for the students. 00:45:08 N. Rogers: This program is astounding and what it gives to the kids is beyond measure. 00:45:46 Lorraine: Thank you Steph!!! 00:47:06 Richard Eckel: perhaps you can present to the school committee 00:47:38 Richard Eckel: please private message me your email 00:49:41 N. Rogers: I have had 2 kids go through the program and my oldest is a working EMT and a Chemistry major due to this amazing program. 00:49:48 Maria dixon: Thank you Stephanie. Grateful that you attended and shared your point of view. 00:49:52 Lorraine: Definitely helping my college senior secure medical school interviews. 00:50:11 N. Rogers: yes!!!! 00:50:52 Pequita & Dara: Rich if the School committee had attended tonight like they should of they would have had the opportunity to hear this and ask questions 00:53:13 Maria dixon: Three weeks is not a lot of time to get to a resolution. I hope there is urgency from all parties to get this solved 00:53:24 Lorraine: Rich, why don't you reach out to me? I was involved in helping to save it a year or two ago. I'm happy to help you understand from a SC perspective what happened. If the cost of this is your concern, perhaps we should delay the $1.5M feasibility study by a year...it is a difficult year after all. 00:54:36 Richard Eckel: cost is not the concern. 00:55:47 Lorraine: My offer still stands. 00:56:14 N. Rogers: What happens if the school is violating the NRSD agreement by not having this audit advisory committee? 00:57:36 N. Rogers: The agreement requires a member from each town to be on this committee. 00:57:36 Lorraine: Not really. They help identify the scope 00:59:10 Lorraine: Exactly, Jason 00:59:57 Lorraine: yes 01:00:01 Richard Eckel: mark jones from stow 01:00:16 N. Rogers: The member needs to be appointed by the selectmen and finance committee jointly. 01:00:53 N. Rogers: The school should post the audited financial statements on their district website. 01:01:02 Lorraine: Heather Hughes from Bolton was the Chair of the Audit Advisory the last two years it was done. 01:04:07 Richard Eckel: don lowe was rhe municipal employee on the last negotiation 01:06:03 Richard Eckel: correct 01:10:21 Lorraine: Why is this turning into an attack on a selectman who is asking honest questions? 01:10:40 N. Rogers: We have all been told to reach out the chair only. 01:11:15 Richard Eckel: sorry the message is wrong 01:11:19 Pequita & Dara: The experience of many parents in all towns has been when we reach out to individual SC members the answers come back from the chair. 01:11:45 Pequita & Dara: Also Rich I believe the tone you are taking with Jason is unwarranted given the reasonable questions he is asking. 01:12:33 N. Rogers: Both my daughter and myself have emailed the superintendent directly multiple times and have not received an email back. 01:12:36 Richard Eckel: if you send a mesage to the whole committee, the chair will respond 01:13:24 Richard Eckel: this was a protocol put in place by the former chair. i am trying to change if 01:13:27 Lindsey: Any time I have emailed an individual SC member, I have heard back. 01:14:47 Lorraine: Rich, what was that previous protocol? Please do share I'm happy to address 01:15:22 Pequita & Dara: Is Rich here as a school committee member or as a private citizen? Its seems like the SC is trying to have their cake and eat it with this meeting. 01:16:03 Richard Eckel: as i said at the top of my comments, i am here as citizen 01:16:25 Lorraine: Actions/Words 01:16:40 Heidi Felt: Thank you Jason for all your hard work. 01:16:59 Pequita & Dara: Its hard to make the distinction given the context and information coloring your answers. 01:19:31 Lorraine: Wow. Thank you Don Lowe, Stan, Bob, Jonathan and Jason. I appreciate your professional and respectful approach to some of the aggressive comments. Thank you 01:20:13 Pequita & Dara: Agreed - well done Lancaster and Bolton selectmen. 01:20:15 Kate Howland: thank you everyone! 01:20:37 N. Rogers: Yes thank you 01:21:53 Theresa O'Riorden: Thank you, Selectmen, for looking out for us residents! 01:22:57 Maria dixon: Thank you! 01:23:05 Lindsey: Isn’t it indicative of a problem if one town and the SC won’t attend? 01:23:41 June: Sounds like it’s time for change after 17 years. Be an example for our kids and learn to work together. 01:23:52 Theresa O'Riorden: Thank you, Rich, for joining tonight! From a Stow resident 01:24:23 Terri: Yes absolutely, Lindsey and June, and Rich! 01:24:29 Lindsey: Absolutely, June. It is so disheartening to watch. 01:24:29 N. Rogers: No one in this meeting has been disrespectful.
