Todd Sumner thanked Board members for attending graduation.

Todd said that there have been revisions to the original Student Opportunities Act plan that was approved by the Board in February of 2021.  Todd said the revised plan moves funds around slightly and adjusts which student subgroups are the focus of the plan.  He said details are in the attached Principal's Report which was sent to members prior to the meeting and the Board will vote on the revisions later in this meeting.

Brian Harrigan, incoming Head of School, delivered his entry plan update.  Brian discussed his opportunities for growth.  

• He thanked Deb Merriam for organizing a great day of Gateway presentations for him to attend last week.  
• He spent the day at the Junior retreat.  
• He met with members of the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association (MCPSA) New Leaders Cohort - the cohort includes nine new leaders and offers opportunities for coaching, consulting, and partnership.  

Brian said he officially begins on July 5 and outlined his plans to get started and plans for outreach to the Parker community.  Brian said he would like to schedule a Board of Trustees retreat at Tower Hill in September.  

Glenn Penna asked how Brian was feeling about balancing his Ph.D. program with onboarding.  Brian said that things have been manageable.

Stephanie Reinhorn asked how Board members could schedule time to meet with him.  Brian said he would reach out soon with information about how to schedule meetings.

Martin Turnbull said the Facilities Committee will be starting to collect bids for the Sumner project soon.  

Michelle McKenna said that as the project is for the sidewalk, the permit process is separate from standard building permit requirements and would allow Parker to be in charge of vendor selection for the project.

Glenn Penna suggested that vendors be notified that Phase 1 of the project is the sidewalk with the potential for a Phase 2 that would include the courtyard.  Michelle McKenna said that the courtyard may be considered part of the building which would require a different procurement process and require vendor selection by the State.

Glenn Penna said the Board will vote on Fiscal Policies and Procedures later in the meeting.
