Heather Sroka seconded the motion. Vote: Unanimous * Review of February Break Information from Nurses & Internal Calendar Advisory’s recommended Calendars: Nurses feel over weekend clears up illness in building – does not indicate any proof that Feb vacation clears up any illnesses. Nurses happy to weigh in on that matter. More of urban myth. School committee was given same information. Supt. Calmes discussed other calendar proposed by internal committee – not many differences from advisory committee. Staff saw need for next February break, but going forward, staff still feels that break is important. Benefit of this coming year to see how the change of February break works. 2 days off vs. 5 days off. Suggestion to continue to work on it. Support school committee – talk to educators on the good reasons of why we change – try next year and see how it goes. No compelling reason of why we have it (Feb break) – can't use “just because we always have had it off” is not a reason. Shorter, refreshing breaks make much more sense. March is a very long month for st udents and for staff. Concerns of reaction to staff and public on these changes – try to get word out that we are not the only town doing this. * FY17 Calendar Recommendations: Internal calendar committee put together 2016 – 2017 calendar as well – many guidelines were considered in it, full February vacation was back in, and first week of school was modified, to 2 PD days and students return 3 days. Some concern that starting after Labor Day would be too long of a summer break. Lunenburg Public Schools Loxi Jo Calmes Superintendent of Schools ===PAGE 2=== 1025 Massachusetts Avenue, Lunenburg, Massachusetts 01462 978 582-4100 ~ fax 978 582-4103 Discussion of future years – have a standing committee – comprised of “Internal” and “external” work together each year – due to issues that come up each year. Rotate the parents to ensure full population is reflected. Should calendar go through School Council? Look to existing structures to review the calendars. If School Committee adopts guidelines, then all 3 councils and could come up with a calendar for school committee to review. Suggest “guidelines” be starting point for shell of a calendar, then have the sc hool advisory committee’s work from that. How to make that happen - calendar advisory committee will present a report of what the charge was, what results were found and recommendations - To be done at the end of this advisory session. * Overview of the May, 2009 Presentation on Start Time : Supt. Calmes to invite the Athletic Director and Mr. Spadafino to one of our upcoming meetings (1/29) regarding changing start times. They can bring to the table many of their concerns regarding this change. Dr. Asher to give presentation on his findings on changing school times – discussions on sleep stages, circadian rhythms, different ways to learn and what sleep effects have on learning. Academy of Pediatrics has issued report on school times. We have listened to other issues – safety, concussions, etc. Now they have issued one regarding school times. Drowsy Driver syndrome also has big impact. Higher use of stimulants for these older students. Lower levels of physical activity, because students are tired. Mental health – anxiety, depression, appearance of ADD, decreased positive affect, decreased motivation to accomplish tasks, moody and frustration. Time to make a stand that this is a health issue and not a scheduling issue. Studied shows that students are not staying up later – in fact getting 40 – 70 minutes more sleep. Argument about affecting after school activities – this is a scheduling problem. Ways to work around scheduling. Standardize scores were up significantly. State wide this is an issue – mostly with scheduling (sports). If we change, how do we work with neighboring schools who haven't. Very compelling argument and very difficult to change – due to scheduling and logistics. Good opportunity because we have over a year to get public involved and get people ready. Look at how small schools who have done this change – have adapted after school activities, sports, etc. Need to communicate this issue – especially to the educators. Talk to extended day, High School, A.D, this becomes a community issue – coming together to make this change for the health of the children. Survey results were packed with comments regarding this start time issue Supt. Calmes to talk to leadership team. Advisory committee develops report for Sch ool Committee. All building principals and A.D to next meeting (January 29, 2015). * Adjournment: Heather Sroka motioned to adjourn the meeting at 9:20pm. Katie McGuire seconded the motion. Next meeting will be on Thursday January 29, 2015 at 7:15pm.

Wellness Advisory was in support years ago, and recognizes challenges but wanted to be on the record to support this project. Presentation: “Adults getting up at 3 – report to work at 5 - can you be at your best?” That is what we are asking our Adolescents to do, however, they aren't able to effectively handle this like some adults can, due to their development. Sleep patterns – 4 stages Circadian Rhythms – medical research and background, and affects on our sleep cycle. Mood, Anxiety, Driving safety. Stag II and REM not being interrupted is goal. Learning – different types of learning Procedural, Declarative and Cognitive Last half of the night is so important for adolescences. Over 8 hours is recommended – would like to see 9. Per surveys, very few adolescences are getting this amount. Tied to motor tasks and emotional impacts also. Sandy Lasert made comment of loss of sleep is cumulative. Most HS students will catch up on weekends. Monday they can function better, and as week goes on, it gets worse. Adolescences produce melatonin later in the evening, so its not as simple as just going to bed earlier. Minneapolis High School first school to start this, back in 2000. Favorable results. This would have to have no cost impact. Athletics – would need lights on field – but upcoming project and solar power, would result in no extra cost in this area. Lunenburg Public Schools Loxi Jo Calmes Superintendent of Schools ===PAGE 2=== 1025 Massachusetts Avenue, Lunenburg, Massachusetts 01462 978 582-4100 ~ fax 978 582-4103 Peter McCauliff – adding 2 more fields, that are both lighted would help. With electricity running from the school, could light fields for almost nothing. Engaging community and full impacts of this change (Superintendent magazine) American Academy of Pediatrics – strongly supports this change – encourages school districts to have middle/high start at 8:30 – 9, goal to get 8.5 – 9 hrs. of sleep. Article also talks about related aspects of obesity, diabetes, increase rates of anxiety, depression and physical health and safety. More studies are coming out showing percentage decrease in student crash rates with change of start time. Reason of rotating schedule, teachers can see students at different times of day – not always first period. Brian Spadafino – teachers like having students through the day – afternoons tend to be more difficult as well - “crashing” not just first periods. Framing this as a Health issue with community to start having this conversations. Get people involved and have the conversation. * Discussion: Eric Short – parent perspective – late time of younger kids getting home. No time after school. As teacher, the after school help is big factor. If much later end date, no extra time for jobs, extra help. Coaching – logistically possible, however burden on daily basis on travel – some sports you cant have lights (golf). Easier if more schools were on board. Would kids miss school to get to a game. School year, in all our sports, we have about 55 – 70% involved in at least one sport. Extra help is big part in Athletic Department. Improve 1) performance of students academically and 2) attendance (students have to be in school at 7:25) to play practice or game. Losing extra help would be a big issue. League sets start time for games. Once new fields are in with lights – soccer, field hockey and football would be fine – even at a youth level. Impact the most in fall is golf and cross country. Winter – indoor track program is impacted the most, because of running outside. Ski program – hardest deadline – have to be off slopes by time night skiing start. (5:30) Spring – relatively low impact – biggest conflict is with softball. Only one field. Scheduling would be difficult, not impossible – may impact not playing some schools on occasion. After school activities and clubs – pushing back time impacts all those as well. 4 pm start time is not impossible - most of the coaches, a later start would help. (~50% do not work in our school district) If younger students started earlier, Extended day would have to staff differently due to HS getting out later - probably would have a larger group. Earlier start time may affect the morning extended day – less children. Discussion about all schools starting at same time.. all kids on same bus – Bus monitors – Good role models, help at bus stops. One run busses would help the Athletic issues with changes of start time. Good reasons to do this – challenges are the scheduling. Change next meeting date – cancel meeting date on Feb 12th. Next meeting on February 26th Next meeting to formalize our recommendation to the School Committee Campaign to the community regarding this proposed change. * Adjournment: Heather Sroka made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Katie McGuire seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 9:30pm.

Discussed that school advisory councils need to be involved in school calendar meetings. Next School Committee meeting provides an opportunity – show our recommendations and what we suggest to move forward. Will need to present updated presentation from Dr. Asher at next School Committee meeting. Add to the last slide the committee’s recommendations on start times. Pending issues to work out (school committee, superintendent) – Next Steps: 1. extended discussions - speaking to school advisory councils 2. public comment/responses/public forums, neighborhood gatherings. 3. asking committee, if they want to proceed, how to roll this out 4. research transportation issue – 1 run vs. 2 runs 5. research options for athletics until fields are completed. Fields – at earliest Fall 2017 to use fields. Significant expense to have to travel to other fields if ours are not ready. Need lighted fields for us to shift everything later (still one year out after new school) Bus company to start looking at numbers – would we need more buses? Would it even out with shorter routes? (to have a one start time district) Lunenburg Public Schools Loxi Jo Calmes Superintendent of Schools ===PAGE 2=== 1025 Massachusetts Avenue, Lunenburg, Massachusetts 01462 978 582-4100 ~ fax 978 582-4103 Calendar Advisory Committee Recommendation: Fall 2016, for the health of our adolescent students, is when the new school opens to establish an 8:30 a.m start time for Grades 6-12 and when fields are completed move to a 9:00 a.m. start time. Katie McGuire made a motion to accept this recommendation, Heather Sroka seconded the motion. Vote: Unanimous Good time to continue the momentum of school calendar - Calendar as we proposed was approved by School Committee. Add to guidelines, the process of developing the calendar – more involvement with student councils – getting the guidelines out to everyone prior to the calendar review. More eyes, more discussion and more time, prior to it being reviewed/discussed at school committee meeting. Made a few edits to guidelines, Superintendent to include with minutes, and with presentation to School Committee. Gary Asher made a motion to accept guidelines with edits, Katie McGuire seconded the motion. Vote: Unanimous * Adjournment: Gary Asher made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Heather Sroka seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 8:33pm.
