▶ 1:23:24 Speaker 4: next item which is website liaison position revised description what I would like to do in my capacity as chair with leave of the committee as I serve the committee is to update one of our liaison positions and the fact that this is connected with one of our SMART goals won't be lost on anybody with respect to community engagement so we have as one of our liaison positions a position entitled websites in parentheses webmaster and the stated explanation for this liaison position is to post documents to committee sites and for the

▶ 1:24:12 Speaker 1: past year and continuing to the present miss McAndrew has been in this position

▶ 1:24:15 Speaker 4: so actually in addition to the committee's thoughts on this miss I'd be interested in your specific us given the fact that you're in the position This is what I'd like to do. I'd like to actually change

▶ 1:24:33 Speaker 1: What I want to do is revise the description and where to do justice to the revised description

▶ 1:24:38 Speaker 4: I think it would be appropriate to change the name of this position. So I'd like to move from website webmaster To communications. So this would be a communications liaison position Again, right now it says post documents to committee sites. What I would like the description to be is post documents and information to committee sites and social media subject to the approval of the committee chair. And again, I think this should be subject to the approval of the committee chair, any work done by this liaison, simply because of our policy KDD, whoever is the chair, it's chair that's a spokesperson for the committee so I'm not suggesting that the revision to this liaison rule will suddenly create a spokesperson position that's not what this is about but simply as a way to aid the chair whoever the chair may be going forward and when and where appropriate in consultation with

▶ 1:25:51 Speaker 4: the superintendent of schools because invariably though the school committee has its clear roles uh and the superintendent has hers ours being in the realm of policy the superintendents being in the realm of administration invariably there's crossover there's obvious connections um and i think there will be times again when and where appropriate um that both this liaison working with the chair, and I as chair, or whoever is chair, working with the superintendent, would rightly consult with the superintendent before posting anything to a committee site, before posting anything to social media, and on and on. So again, what I'd like to do is change this from website webmaster to communications liaison. I would like the description to be post documents and information to committee sites and social media subject to the approval of the committee chair And when and where appropriate in consultation with the superintendent of schools

▶ 1:26:53 Speaker 7: Mr. Isco motion to that effect

▶ 1:26:56 Speaker 4: Is there a second for purposes of discussion second by mr. So discussion

▶ 1:27:04 Jennifer McAndrew: Miss McAndrew, please. Thank you. Um, and this sounds great to me. I have just one suggestion on the language and committee sites I think I would just say the school committee website because that's really where we post a lot to the main page and not really to the committee sites I mean we could but I would just make it broader than individual pages great so consider a friendly amendment

▶ 1:27:35 Speaker 1: the same as to some would that be considered a friendly amendment and so

▶ 1:27:40 Speaker 4: now I just for clarification miss McAndrew for all of our benefit post documents and information to school committee website is that right

▶ 1:27:54 Speaker 4: the school committee website and social media subject to the approval of the committee chair and when and where appropriate in consultation with the superintendent schools is that please mr. so may I ask a clarification will

▶ 1:28:03 Speaker 6: this updated language be sent around for us all for a secondary approval or is

▶ 1:28:12 Speaker 1: this it tonight no I'm happy to do that so what why don't we proceed in that

▶ 1:28:17 Speaker 4: fashion if that's okay I mean it doesn't require two votes doesn't require it's

▶ 1:28:26 Speaker 6: not a policy change okay yeah that's that's fair so would it be appropriate

▶ 1:28:33 Speaker 4: appropriate if we just withdraw that motion thank you very much for that so

▶ 1:28:43 Speaker 1: what I will do for our October 15th meeting is I will prepare a packet

▶ 1:28:48 Speaker 4: document with this language so we can review it discuss it and approve it again if that's the will of the committee if that makes sense with
