Reporting about to begin for the special School Committee meeting at 5. agenda here (no zoom) franklinma.gov/sites/g/files/… #scsm0413

This will likely go beyond 5:45 when the EDC meeting commences upstairs so I'll be leaving this for that. Someday the clone thing will work and I'll be able to do both #scsm0413

#scsm0413 while the interview is public, there is no public question period. Lucas Giguere is the internal candidate after background checks and other info.

Currently working as Asst superintendent, professional background highlights start with Marine experience and then to education, student teaching interrupted by military duty. One on one position with a student initiated his experience #scsm0413 great start

Hired at Annie Sullivan as a 6th grade teacher when it opened. Moved into leadership role, interim asst principal, then moved to FHS as asst principal there, managing kids from middle to high good experience, opportunity to lead a building arose, left district #scsm0413

Continued development there in building relationships, list of accomplishments there; opportunity to return to Franklin arose and he came back as Asst Superintendent and in that role for 4 years. #scsm0413 he drops his kids off at school, gets to see all the students arrive

Motivated "by calling Franklin home" leans into purpose, recognizes the tremendous opportunity the superintendent has. The question round, each of the SchCom members will ask 2, a total of 14 questions. #scsm0413

Photos of Lucas, and the Committee #scsm0413

Has sat through budget development as principal and as asst superintendent but leading it as a superintendent will be a learning experience, fortunate to have an experienced business manager (M Goodman) to help with that #scsm0413

Looking back, the CASEL competency for social emotional experience (SEL) was laid in place before the pandemic and that helped to develop the responses to the needs currently #scsm0413 one area of pride in work done here recently

Emphasis on clarity of goals and outcomes will help the work of all involved. #scsm0413 need to fill the narrative, there are so many good things happening that need to be told, how to better engage the community in the conversation and work of the district

What is the 180 day plan? Already in the planning process for the future, and looking to bring the start line back to the teachers, buildings earlier so that the time in the summer is better spent #scsm0413
Look for ways to leverage student voice in an authentic manner

This is the end of the first round of questions (for my 2 cents great answers) hopefully the gist of some answers on the key points were captured. Audio to be available later. #scsm0413
