Public Comments
The School Committee Secretary announced that there were no public comments.
Mr. Cruz entered the meeting.
Educator’s Showcase
Dr. Zrike announced that every school has been given a School Committee meeting date for the
year to make a presentation. Dr. Zrike announced that 4 students from Saltonstall’s 5th grade
class would be first and introduced Principal Michael Lister.
Mr. Lister introduced Mr. Doherty, who explained that the 5th grade humanities class at
Saltonstall began by exploring their identity and celebrating them. Mr. Doherty then introduced
the following students, Calvin Mahady, Elizabeth Casiglia, Hannah Phelps, and Emily Pimentel,
who presented their original Poetry Slam.
Dr. Zrike also asked Mr. Lister to explain the field trip that has been presented to the School
Committee for approval. The field trip is scheduled for 10/25-10/29/21 (4 nights, 5 days) to
Nature’s Classroom in Yarmouth Port, MA. Mr. Lister said that Nature’s Classroom agreed to
match our mitigation policy and our staff would be staying overnight with the students. Mr.
Lister would like to require a vaccine for the students attending and a survey of the families
interested resulted in 84% who are interested in going support this. Mr. Lister explained that
most of this trip is held outside, but their concern is with the night time, which is why they are
requesting a condition of anyone attending to be vaccinated. Dr. Pangallo asked if there was any
consideration of adding a testing requirement also. Ms. Campbell asked how many of the
students that are interested are already vaccinated. She added that it did not seem that there
would be enough time to vaccinate the students who aren’t already vaccinated. Mr. Lister
added that there is the possibility of postponing until the spring, if the timelines do not work.
Ms. Manning asked if the students need to be fully vaccinated or would they be accepted after
just 1 shot. Dr. Pangallo suggested that we consult with the School pediatrician for a cutoff date
for students needing vaccines. Ms. Nuncio also voiced her concerns about students who would
not be able to attend due to their parent’s not being able to have them vaccinated. She believes
that the trip should be postponed until the Spring, so that there could be more vaccinated
9.27.2021 School Committee Minutes
Page 2
students eligible to attend. Ms. Campbell is afraid that if we wait for the medical consultation,
then we will run out of time. Her suggestion is to establish a timeline for all field trips that way
going forward, everyone will know the cutoff regarding the vaccination requirements. Ms.
Manning agrees that a timeline and protocol needs to be established for all trips going forward.
Mayor Driscoll requested a motion to approve the Saltonstall field trip to Nature’s Classroom in
Yarmouth Port, MA subject to students being vaccinated within a reasonable timeframe and
the school given adequate time to allow for vaccination and that all students will be tested prior
to departure and prior to return to school. Ms. Manning motioned and Mr. Cruz seconded. A
roll call vote was taken.
Ms. Manning Yes
Mr. Fleming Yes
Dr. Pangallo Yes
Ms. Nuncio Yes
Mr. Cruz Yes
Ms. Campbell Yes
Mayor Driscoll Yes
Motion carries 7-0
Dr. Zrike announced that there was a second trip that was submitted for approval. Dr. Pangallo
was more concerned about this trip since it includes traveling on commercial airlines and it
takes place in Florida where the COVID protocols are different from those in Massachusetts. She
recommends that additional testing take place upon return of this trip, possibly the test to stay
program that is currently being offered. It was also suggested that the trip be looked at again
before December since COVID restrictions could be different by then. Mr. Doyle, boys basketball
coach, was present to answer questions for the Committee. Mr. Doyle confirmed that they
would follow any mandates (regarding masks and testing) that are required here in
Massachusetts. Mr. Doyle also confirmed that the entire trip is paid through fundraising and no
students would need to pay out of pocket. Dr. Pangallo voiced concerns since the trip is several
months away and there is no way of knowing what will happen with the virus. Mayor Driscoll
suggested that since tickets for the trip need to be bought, we should vote on the trip today
with the understanding that if conditions change, the trip will be revisited. Ms. Manning added
that the vote should include the conditions in Florida and not necessarily the conditions in
Massachusetts.
Mayor Driscoll requested a motion to approve the SHS Boys Basketball Tournament trip to
Orlando, FL subject to students being vaccinated within a reasonable timeframe and the school
given adequate time to allow for vaccination and that all students will be tested prior to
departure and prior to return to school and following the Massachusetts regulations. Mr.
Fleming motioned and Ms. Manning seconded. A roll call vote was taken.

Report from the Student Representative - Hawa Hamidou Tabayi
Mr. Cruz explained that Ms. Tabayi was not available to attend tonight and asked Mr. Cruz to
give an update. He said that the students met last week and covered a few things. First there
was a review of the bylaws passed by the previous council. They are planning on doing outreach
to various student groups. They are also planning on setting up meetings with Mr. Rodriguez, Dr.
Zrike and Mr. Burns to discuss their role within the district. They are focused on outreach and
are still trying to recruit students to get full representation of the student body and also hoping
to get in touch with the other high schools so that they can have representation there as well.
Ms. Manning asked for clarification on how many were in the council and Mr. Cruz explained
that the bylaws require representation of 13 students across certain student groups including
the 2 additional high schools that are in the district.
Report of the Superintendent
Dr. Zrike announced that Alexandra Fortich will be joining us next week as Director of
Translation and Interpretation. Dr. Zrike introduced Marc Leblanc, Director of Instructional
Technology to explain the live Spanish interpretation for all regular School Committee meetings.
a. MCAS 2020-2021 Results Presentation & Student Support Plans for 2021-2022
Superintendent Zrike explained that there were declines across the board. This was 18 months
of educational gaps and the most important thing of tonight’s presentation is to determine
what the plan will be for the students around their academics. Dr. Zrike said tonight’s
presentation is strictly on academics and next week Mr. Colantuoni will present on the social
emotional work.
Assistant Superintendent Kate Carbone and Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
Amy Richardson presented the 2021 MCA results. It was explained that there were extended
testing windows, grade 3-8 assessments were shorter, grade 3-8 students learning remotely
could take the test at home. MCAS reported that there will be accountability determinations
issued this year and DESE cautions against making comparisons across other districts or other
schools within the same district. Last year there were some of the lowest participation rates
with grade 8 science dropping as much as 18%. Additional comparisons were discussed,
including ELA, Math and Science by grade level and subgroup. Ms. Richardson explained their
comprehensive approach to accelerating student learning and addressing educational gaps. Part
of their approach included summer programs, vacation academies, and the community office.
When schools opened, they concentrated on providing a welcoming environment with 3
priorities: attending to students’ social, emotional, and physical well-being, rebuilding
connections, forming communities of learners, and moving ahead with grade level content and
skills while addressing unfinished learning from previous grades. They also tried to pinpoint
areas of unfinished learning by trying to determine what the students know and what they still
9.27.2021 School Committee Minutes
Page 4
need to learn. Tutoring was deployed at the classroom level and online interventions were
launched for 100 high-needs grade 2 students and full time math & literacy interventions at
SHS. Several options for opportunities for learning outside of school hours were established,
such as vacation academies, personalized tutoring, “success blocks”, partner programs and LEAP
for Education - EL Street. Dr. Pangallo stated that she understands that this is an enormous task
and challenge and feels that this should not all be addressed in one year. She asked what the
plans are for the district for the next few years or how do we adapt moving forward. Ms.
Carbone responded that they plan on going slow and steady with a laser focus and remain
committed but at the same time we don't want to overwhelm students. She added that she
feels we have a good assessment in place that can give us quick information. Dr. Zrike
responded that we do have money from our ESSER funds from previous years that we can use
for interventionists and tutors. Dr. Zrike said that he also wants to make sure that the staff does
not get overwhelmed. Ms. Richardson just wanted to remind everyone that this was work that
was started a few years ago and was interrupted by COVID. Now they want to get back on track.
The Mayor, Dr. Pangallo, Mr. Cruz, and MS. Campbell all offered comments. Ms. Richardson
responded that the important thing is that we see the students growing and progressing and
not comparing them to any bar set by the state.
b. Hispanic Heritage Month
Superintendent Zrike shared that there will be several different events celebrating Hispanic
Heritage Month. These celebrations began with a flag raising ceremony along with the City of
Salem on September 15th at Riley Plaza. Ms. Nuncio shared that there will be an event honoring
essential workers during the pandemic on Monday, October 18th at 6 pm at the Jean A
Levesque Community Life Center. In keeping with COVID restrictions the room maximum
capacity is 60 and anyone interested in attending should contact the center to rsvp.
Dr. Zrike also recognized 4 employees that have been nominated as outstanding Latino leaders
across the state, Anaima Piccirillo, transportation assistant, Arabelis Luciano, Family
Engagement Facilitator at Witchcraft Heights Elementary School, Rosaura Saldivar, Behaviorist
and works with the Connections Program and in the Community Office at SHS and Manny Brito
who is a teacher at Collins Middle School. Mr. Cruz provided some context by explaining his
organization is hosting the State of Latino Education. This is a national conference that includes
a regional event on October 7th, in which they will be recognizing legislatures, leaders and
Latinx educators across the state with a citation.
Dr. Zrike mentioned that he will be presenting a vote at next week’s meeting to change
Columbus Day to Indigenious People Day on the school calendar to be consistent with the City
of Salem.

a. Deliberation and vote on the disposal of school property that has been declared

to be obsolete or no longer usable for school purposes.
Ms. Nuncio asked if the Policy subcommittee would need to create a policy for this. The Mayor
stated that there are already procurement laws that should cover this. Ms. Campbell responded
that the Curriculum subcommittee would like a policy created for what resources/curriculum
are being used and if any are removed, for example textbooks that are no longer in use, then
the subcommittee would receive a notification.

Subcommittee Reports
Mr. Fleming reported that the Building & Grounds subcommittee met tonight to review all the
facilities work that was done over the summer and plans for additional work they are doing. He
added that the Subcommittee will continue to monitor their work.
School Committee Concerns and Resolutions
Dr. Pangallo mentioned an email from Dr. Zrike reminding everyone about the mask mandates.
She also said that it looks like there will be a vaccine for grades K-6 and suggested that we start
thinking about a plan for vaccine rollout. Also, she received notification from the
Massachusetts Nurse Association and would like to ask Ms. Moske-Weber how our nurses are
doing and to see where we are at.
Ms. Nuncio asked if the organization chart could be looked at again at the next meeting. Ms.
Nuncio received a letter from a Spanish speaking parent regarding Hispanic heritage month.
This parent advocated for the special characters in family last names and to make sure they are
spelled correctly. Ms. Campbell explained that DESE does not allow the special characters on
any documents that are uploaded.
Adjournment
Mayor Driscoll requested a motion to adjourn. Mr. Fleming motioned and Mr. Cruz seconded. A

Report of the Superintendent
a. Start of School Update
Superintendent Zrike presented his start of school update. He spoke of the excitement he is
hearing of being back from both staff and students. He announced that the class sizes are small
and they have increased the use of outdoor spaces for learning and eating. In addition there is a
return of extracurricular activities. In addition, he explained that regarding the 1:1 access for
technology, we currently have enough devices for anyone that needs one.
Dr. Zrike also gave an update on enrollment and said there has been a slight decrease since
August although they are still enrolling and final reporting will not be until October 1st. There
has also been an increase in interest in homeschooling. He believes that this could be due to
there not being any remote option this school year. Dr. Zrike also shared with the Committee
the demographic information.
Dr. Zrike announced that although there are still a few vacancies, most of the teacher positions
have been filled and those still open are currently being filled by substitutes or paras. He then
introduced Assistant Superintendent Kate Carbone to speak regarding academics.
Ms. Carbone explained that the PreK expansion classes are up and running. She said there are 2
new classes at Bates and 2 at Horace Mann. There were a total of 72 open seats, 31 enrolled to
the Bates and 30 for Horace Mann, which leaves 11 open seats. She added that the district is
working hard to provide families with the application and information for the program. Both
9.13.2021 School Committee Minutes

Leanne Smith and Amy Richardson have reviewed and selected the curriculum and teachers
have been trained together with our community partners. She also said that they have assigned
a literacy coach to focus on the PreK classrooms. In addition, classrooms received some new
furniture, books, toys and games to promote creative play.
Ms. Carbone reported that the New Teacher Institute was held this past summer and 80 plus
educators were welcomed to the district. This was a 4 day institute that ran August 23-26. They
were oriented on district instructional priorities and also had additional training on social
emotional learning. In addition, they were given time to meet with colleagues that were in
similar roles so that they could plan and collaborate for the first day. They are getting ready to
launch a new K-2 literacy curriculum with professional development available. The IT team is in
the process of setting up the digital curriculum and also provided teachers with a new single
sign-on software, Classlink. Ms. Carbone announced a new library project that they are
currently working on. This project will focus on diversifying the libraries and is being supported
by a grant which was received. Bentley received books for their Dual Language Library. The CMS
library project is supported by ELT resources and also the K-5 classroom libraries will be audited
for equitably books and teachers will have access to $500 to upgrade their classroom libraries.
Ms. Carbone spoke of the importance of having Tier 2 academic supports in place such as
tutors, enhanced tools available to teachers to support Tier 2 interventions and Tier 2
playbooks. In addition, there will be student support services, such as behavior specialists, at
each school and also refocusing the need to strengthen implementation of existing SEL
curriculum. There will also be a 2 hour training on September 22 open to all staff regarding
reducing anxiety and oppositional behavior in the classroom. Lastly, Ms. Carbone reported that
for instructional technology, distribution of Chromebooks to grades 6-12 is nearly complete,
carts are available in each K-5 classroom and 20 Chromebooks and chargers will be at each
school to support any quarantine/isolation if it should happen.
Ms. Carbone explained what the district is doing in preparation for quarantine or isolation
remote learning. Rather than just provide the student with a packet of materials, the following
was created:
Option 1 - simultaneous teaching, which allows students to join their 4 core classes through
video. A camera will be set up in the classroom to capture the teacher during instruction. If a
student participates in this option, they will be marked present.
Option 2 - check in, which will allow students to check in with their teachers for 15 minutes
either before or after class time. Teachers will introduce the classwork and will provide any
guidance needed. If the student participates in this option, they will NOT be marked present.
Superintendent Zrike addressed the transportation challenges we have been experiencing and
explained the changes that we have requested. He added that there has been more parents
driving their students to school in addition to road construction, which has resulted in traffic at
the schools. In addition, there has been a large number of late registrations. He said that there
has been improvement after the first 2 weeks, but there is additional work to be done with the
routes.

Dr. Zrike also gave an update to facilities and thanked Zissis Alepakis and his team for the work
they have done preparing the schools. He explained outdoor classrooms have been installed,
although they are still finishing up at Bates. Additional HEPAs have been provided to the
cafeterias, office spaces and classrooms that have less ventilation. They are in the process of
installing/updating door monitoring systems, playground repairs, SHS chair lifts repair, flag pole
repairs at Saltonstall and Horace Mann and the exterior doors at Bentley and Saltonstall. In
addition, they are still on track for future projects such as the WHES tiles, the Collins office
space, playground mulching and inspection, fencing replacement, additional security cameras,
water bubbler replacement, HVAC maintenance and repairs of bathroom stalls.
Dr. Zrike introduced Chelsea Banks who gave an opening school COVID update. She updated the
Committee with the number of reported cases for both students and staff, which are 6 total
positive student cases (5 this week) and 1 positive staff case (no new cases this week). She also
reported that 41% of students have consented to the weekly COVID tests and 1,257 tests were
conducted last week and also reported that 85% of all staff (including 95% of teachers) have
shown their proof of vaccination. Ms. Banks explained that they are in the process of
implementing the Test to Stay program and gave an overview of the communications and
process for this year. Ms. Banks also gave a brief review of the COVID testing process and how
the Pool PCR Tests are conducted, as well as the weekly testing schedule for both students and
staff.
Mr. Cruz asked a question regarding the playgrounds and the safety concerns that were
mentioned and also the discussion at the last Building & Grounds Subcommittee meeting
regarding upgrades to them. Dr. Zrike responded that some of the upgrades, for instance the
mulch, needs to be done now and then to do an assessment on accessibility and examine the
other playgrounds that may need to have upgrades done. Dr. Zrike suggested that it may be a
good idea to schedule another Building & Grounds Subcommittee meeting to discuss the
playgrounds.
Mr. Cruz also asked if he could receive further information regarding the vaccination rates and
be provided a breakdown regarding the percentage of staff and departments that are
vaccinated. Ms. Banks responded that she would follow up with Mr. Cruz.
Ms. Manning asked for clarification on the COVID testing schedule and Ms. Banks explained how
the testing team would accommodate any retesting that needed to be done in case of a positive
pool. Ms. Manning also requested if she could observe the training that was scheduled for 9/22.
Ms. Carbone will provide Ms. Manning with a link for the training. Ms. Manning also asked how
the decision is made about which books are removed from the libraries. Ms. Carbone offered to
forward a training video on curriculum bias to Ms. Manning which would help answer her
question.
Mr. Fleming asked a question regarding the waiting list for the PreK classrooms. Ms. Carbone
explained that they went through the list and offered seats to all who were still interested and

there are currently no families on the waiting list. Mr. Fleming also asked about an open
position in the Dual Language program and Dr. Zrike responded that the open position was for a
paraprofessional not a teacher.
Ms. Nuncio asked if there was any Spanish PreK curriculum that could be made available at the
Bentley School? Ms. Carbone explained that there are no PreK classrooms at Bentley at this
time. Dr. Zrike added that they would eventually like to add a PreK dual language curriculum as
they expand the PreK program.
Dr. Pangallo asked for the families on the waiting lists that refused the PreK seat, do we have a
sense of their reason for declining.Ms. Carbone responded that there were a variety of reasons,
such as no response from the family when we reached out, issues with transportation, extended
day or deciding to stay with their current situation. Dr. Pangallo asked for clarification on the
test to stay program and Ms. Banks explained that it is only for students who were close
contacts of those who tested positive in school. If a child has a positive case at home, they
should quarantine at home.
Mayor Driscoll commented that she has received feedback regarding the PreK expansion
program and although families were very happy, there were some that were disappointed that
they could not participate due to no after school care. She asked if there was any discussion of
eventually expanding the afterschool program to include the PreK. Ms. Carbone said that there
has been discussion that later this year they would like to do a survey to see what the families
need and take next steps based on that. Mayor Driscoll also praised the work on getting the test
to stay program running, but stressed the importance of vaccination and how we still need
many more young adults to be vaccinated. Ms. Banks explained that they have offered many
clinics and are planning on more events that will offer vaccination clinics.
Ms. Manning asked for clarification on the age of consent for the vaccine and Ms. Banks
responded that once they turn 18, they can sign the consent. Under 18 will need a parent to
sign, but the consent is now available electronically and the parent does not need to be present.
Mayor Driscoll acknowledged that the student representative, Hawa Tabayi had joined the
meeting.
b. Central Office Organizational Chart
Superintendent Zrike shared a draft of the organizational chart which outlined the direct reports
for Teaching & Learning to Assistant Superintendent Kate Carbone and for Operations to
Assistant Superintendent of Finance & Employee Engagement Mary DeLai. Dr. Zrike explained
that the next step would be to have this available online so the public would know who they
would need to contact for specific information. Mr. Cruz commented that he appreciated the
increased diversity in the staff.

Report from the Student Representative - Hawa Hamidou Tabayi
Ms. Tabayi reported that the Student Advisory Council had their first meeting last week. At this
meeting they focused on getting out their intentions and visions on what they want to do in the
district and steps on how to do them. Among some of their discussions were their interest in
implementing restorative justice practices as alternatives to the way discipline and conflict are
approached in the schools. She added that they would be requesting data when it comes to
tension, suspensions with regards to all interactions with SPS students and Salem Police
Department to gage the situation they are in and see how they want to approach it. They also
would like to increase their overall membership districtwide with emphasis on making it an
equitable membership. In addition, they would like to be involved in the city’s anti-racism
efforts. Ms. Tabayi also stated that the Student Advisory Council, which is districtwide, would
like to make the distinction between them and the Salem High School Student Council and how
to restart that group. Dr. Zrike informed Ms. Tabayi that Ms. Polay-Wettengel is available to help
the SAC get information out and also, he is planning to have the Salem Police Department Chief
attend one of the School Committee meetings to share some of the data. Mr. Cruz offered help
when they decided to discuss a possible retreat and Dr. Pangallo asked for the students'
perspective on the reopening of schools.

NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH PROCLAMATION
September 15th, 2021-October 15th, 2021
“Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to
October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose
ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and
was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on
September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the
approval of Public Law 100-402.
The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin
American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition,
Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18,
respectively.”1
In partnership with the City of Salem, we kicked off the month with a flag raising ceremony at
Riley Plaza on September 15th. We are looking forward to a month-long celebration where we
recognize the contributions, talents, and experiences of the Hispanic community in Salem, the
state of Massachusetts and throughout the United States. All SPS educators were provided with
instructional materials to integrate in their work during Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond.
We will keep the community posted on the events, recognitions and instructional lessons hosted
by schools and educators during the coming month.
Sincerely,
Stephen Zrike
