The study uses short fictional vignettes and questions about peer attitudes toward illness and includes a video clip from a therapeutic camp as part of the debriefing.

Nash said the study protocol cleared an institutional review board and that participation involves parent consent and child assent. She described study logistics: sessions of about 15–20 minutes during after-school programming, use of tablets and headphones to present material and parental incentives via a gift card. She clarified that children receive a small token (a slinky) and parents would receive the gift-card incentive; the committee requested the token distribution be handled so that children whose parents withhold consent are not visibly differentiated.

Committee members and administrators asked that researchers provide written confirmation they will comply with district student-data privacy procedures and with CORI/fingerprinting requirements for any adults working with students. The committee did not take a vote; administrators said they would treat the presentation as informational and follow up with required documentation and an enrollment update showing how many families consented.

No student names or screening results were discussed publicly; staff emphasized the program will only enroll children whose parents provide consent and who provide informed assent.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Freetown-Lakeville School Committee, 1/9/19","oneSentenceSummary","Researchers from Bryant University requested to recruit fourth- and fifth-grade after-school students for a study about children’s perceptions of healthy and ill peers; administrators asked for written assurances on privacy and background checks.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6475192,"Athletic director reports strong participation, awards and facility work; committee discusses capital needs",218,808000,1026000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5736793-4bf040dcaa255b9f7f3aa91f7e46e41d&start=808&end=1026","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5736793-4bf040dcaa255b9f7f3aa91f7e46e41d/thumbnail_808000.jpg","/articles/6475192/Massachusetts/Athletic-director-reports-strong-participation-awards-and-facility-work-committee-discusses-capital-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475192-d9d173d6d9211450b8c12d4eaa64554d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770529871&Signature=gVQT7j5qEG-0-PaRDcWNObCztVmZIwclxlEzqeCruOSNJcTRlQqUmt~iP5FtUIIgRd866iBbeSCsPbsmWluEZcecTw3L7GAyBETZ~rvvnb2oWNT3HAKC9iJbMOYXzjq2zASBiGmGCsPINml4UCPGQWX0K1WPZumgDFZXUre5qufX1BZ0LoH6DQESuHp~JIVKyG06CVZHQHZ3coZMFWIoyJ0KYVMp~S7jwA~~TP31isefSSgCzs0C4tEyzhG2xcO0SLJ8d0HEwrc4HET9dUhnsrSWEWftd5-tyXwJbDwtLlD7MC0MjnlbOL36sJ43xhn5F8dnbsH3bOJ6Jj3otXcy7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mister Cabluccio, the district athletics staff member who delivered the athletic program update, told the committee the district fielded 24 varsity programs last year and that roughly 54% of total enrollment participated in at least one sport. \"We had a fantastic year,\" Cabluccio said, highlighting conference championships in girls indoor track, boys basketball and baseball and naming two state champions among student-athletes.

Cabluccio reported 21 of 24 varsity teams participated in postseason play and listed individual recognitions including conference MVPs and regional newspaper player-of-the-year awards. He also noted awards for sportsmanship: the district received the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association recognition for outstanding sportsmanship for four consecutive years, an item he said staff take special pride in.

On participation and fees, Cabluccio said the recent user-fee increase had not produced a measurable decline in sign-ups; waivers are processed by administration. He described the district's concussion baseline testing program for middle and high school students—administered during wellness classes and intended to support clinical care—and said rollout continued at the middle school.

Facilities was a major topic. Cabluccio reported the outdoor track was replaced and is in good condition; the tennis courts received repairs but are showing expected cracking and will likely need future work. Committee members and staff discussed plans for ongoing maintenance, striping, irrigation improvements and potential resurfacing or replacement. Cabluccio said vendors and in-house crews are pursuing reasonably priced repairs and that facilities staff are adding preventative work (caulking, restriping) to extend life. The group raised a recurring goose population problem at the track and fields that staff said they have tried multiple mitigation strategies for but have not solved.

On fundraising and equipment, Cabluccio reported $25,000 in recent donations: a $15,000 private-family gift to replace the gym sound system and $10,000 from the Athletic Booster Group for large equipment (goals, etc.). He also described a district-owned van intended to reduce bus trips and lower transportation costs.

Committee members pressed for a capital plan. Questions centered on the feasibility and costs of a snack shack with restrooms (Cabluccio and staff estimated roughly $50,000) and whether a single turf field would meet district needs. Administrators recommended multi-year planning and suggested bringing specific capital proposals to the regional finance committee for funding discussion. The committee agreed administrators should return with written plans and cost estimates at future meetings.

No formal vote was taken on capital projects at this meeting; the update was informational and administrators were directed to include these items in the district capital planning process.","The committee heard a comprehensive athletic program update covering participation rates, postseason play and awards, baseline concussion testing, facility repairs (track and tennis courts), geese issues, recent donations and a new athletic van.

The committee opened by taking and approving a motion to accept minutes from the Dec. 12 meeting. Later, the committee voted to adopt the 2019–2020 ARHS program of studies after a presentation and questions from members.

The committee unanimously approved a final donation from a foundation totaling $6,654.94, recorded by a committee member as earmarked for technology. In addition, a motion to authorize surplus of special advance funds was moved and passed.

On the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) statement of interest for a district facility, administrators recommended further review with the director of facilities and director of finance; the committee did not vote to submit a new statement of interest at this meeting and instead asked for a recommendation at the next meeting.

Two students are partially included in general classrooms with paraprofessional support for transitions and classroom participation; the other students are primarily served within the substantially separate program. Administration told the committee the in-district program has avoided the need to place several students in out-of-district collaboratives and reduces transportation burdens on families.

Staff reported the program is stable for the current year and may require adjustments and additional supports next year depending on student needs. The committee asked about staffing ratios and the sustainability of the program; administrators said staffing is sufficient for this year and that the district will monitor needs as students progress.","The district reported that a newly launched social-emotional learning (SEL) program at Apponequet Elementary School (AES) now serves six students, with two partially included in general classrooms.

The update showed revenue up compared with the prior snapshot and transportation expenditures reduced in part because of a newly purchased van that staff expect will lower bus expenses for small-group trips. The finance director noted the packet represented a snapshot as of Dec. 31 and does not yet include all encumbrances.

On staffing and wages, administrators discussed the state minimum-wage increase effective Jan. 1 and said the district must implement the change immediately. Staff will update program pay schedules and present an inclusive chart covering community programs, the pool and after-school programs at the next meeting. The committee asked for a multiyear projection because the minimum wage is scheduled to rise in coming years; administrators said they will produce a multiyear plan showing anticipated costs and offset options.

Substitute pay practices were discussed as well. The district’s policy moves long-term substitutes to a higher daily rate after they assume a multi-day assignment; administrators said they will include substitute-rate impacts in forthcoming budget materials.

No formal budget votes were taken at this meeting; the finance director will bring revised charts and proposals to the regional finance committee and the school committee in the coming weeks.","The district finance director reported FY19 status as 'status quo' and provided a snapshot of revenues and transportation savings tied to a new van.
