Ms. Madore thanked the Augusta School Department for hiring her 39 years ago.  She also thanked the mentors she had along the way and the people who valued her work. 

18.  Superintendent’s Report: 

Mr. Anastasio spoke about the closing of schools for students and educators and thanked everyone who was involved in trying to make a very unusual year have a happy and memorable ending.  He said hopefully school will open in the fall with students in classrooms and as close to normal as possible.  He said information changes almost daily but the goal is to be as prepared as we can regardless of what situation we are in when August rolls around.  It will involve some committee work, input from a variety of stakeholders and the gathering information through surveys.  He the ASD and AEA were able to come to an agreement regarding the make-up of five snow days.  He said staff will have professional development days on August 20^th, 21^st, 24^th 25^th and 26^th.  The 24^th can be waived for staff if they get approved professional development prior to August 20^th.   

19.  Reports from Other School Officials: 

Theresa Violette, Director of Title I, said they are accepting public comment on the ESEA application and that document is on the ASD website.  The deadline for the Title I Summer Program registration is June 11.  The program runs from July 7^th to August 6. 

Teresa Beaudoin, Principal of Farrington Elementary School, said that having staff in the last couple of days was important to get some closure and for them to give feedback about what they experienced the last couple of months so we can get some ideas about planning for August.  On Monday, all elementary schools did their 6^th grade celebrations.
