Summary

After months without a final submission, the committee set a Feb. 5 subcommittee review and a Feb. 12 full-board agenda slot to receive materials from Sienna and school liaison Cheryl; members emphasized adult-to-adult follow-up rather than public evaluation of a student.

Committee members raised concerns about a lack of communication from Sienna, the student assigned to develop a community calendar, and Cheryl, the school liaison; multiple members reported separate outreach and incomplete deliverables. To move the project forward, the committee scheduled a subcommittee meeting for Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. to review whatever Sienna and Cheryl can provide, with the intention of presenting a consolidated update to the full board on Feb. 12.

Speakers emphasized that the subcommittee (Felicia/Speaker 1, Corey and Kristen, among others) should compile a written outline of Sienna’s work if she cannot attend. Several members cautioned against publicly evaluating a high-school student and recommended that adult mentors (Cheryl) handle any performance or mentoring conversations. The committee agreed the subcommittee will do a "post-mortem" review if needed and will consider inviting Cheryl to a later full-board meeting or an executive-session discussion to address adult-to-adult process and communication.

The committee also asked for written materials in advance of the Feb. 5 meeting so the subcommittee and full board are not "walking in blind." The subcommittee will determine whether the community calendar deliverables can be integrated into the town’s community-calendar platform and will report back at the Feb. 12 meeting.
