Overall question is how do we engage the entire community to understand, appreciate and honor his legacy with an education focus. But acknowledge that he did have other interests in his career
Goals around three arenas: the campus, (getting the campus identified on Google) (as well as each of the new school identities on Google); physical presence
Explore grant funding to accomplish
Leverage the Town efforts on way finding signage, etc (4 consistency)
Education on what Horace Mann did, collaboration with historical commission (which they have expressed interest in)
H Mann birthday, celebration May 4
Coordinate half day with schedule link in with local businesses for younger kids, day of service for older students
Planting the tree we may not enjoy the shade of ...
Third aspect: for "advocacy"
Then the guardrails, to keep the subcmte on track...
Clarification on the role of the non-SchCmte members; all should have votes, School Cmte has final decision
Discussion on the composition of the committee, have a representative from the other formal Town orgs (Historical Commission, Town Council, etc)
Nothing in a vacuum, individual committees may split off to tackle for example the three categories
A la the master plan process..
Draft to be reworked by Callaghan
And carried out by the next committee
Motion to adjourn just past 7 PM (late to complete this as I was wrapping up the recording gear)
