Diversity Project Amna, the Student Representative, is very involved in this project. The budget is under consideration as COVID has actually reduced the budget need. Dr. Field and the students are collaborating via Zoom. She is very kind in terms of limiting charges. Ms. Field is meeting with the students who are writing the stories tomorrow 1/19 at 1:00p.m. Included will be a photo of someone who emigrated, a story, and a QR code where you can hear an audio clip of the person speaking. The date for the public presentation is May 22, 2022. Dr. Field will make a presentation as well as a video of the students talking about the experience. The predominant group will be students in the school. The goal is 10 presentations and the students will present their own projects at the public showing. There is funding needed, two concerns were donations and a vehicle. The project is set up with the school and the town. If anyone would like to donate, it can be done through the school or town. Ms. Stevenson also noted the teachers are overloaded with recommendation letters for colleges that she came up with an alternative idea to involve the community. Maybe Mr. Kupferman could help edit the students work. She will also place a call to the editor of The Mashpee Enterprise to see if any young reporters would want to help in editing. This can all be done over E-mail. Amna and her sister were both interviewed along with one other student, but more students need to be identified. Ms. Stevenson would like 6 students in the school and 4 members of the community. 2. Future Meeting Changes — Day/Time/Length There has been feedback about changing the meeting start time to 5:00p.m. Ms. Stevenson has narrowed it down to the third Tuesday of the month. There was input to limit the meeting to one hour. Does this work for everyone? Mr. Klein would like to put it to a vote. Ms. Stevenson did bring this up with Amna. As students are involved in sports or after school activities, she would like Amna to find another Student Representative to join so there could be an alternate if one student could not attend. Ms. Hicks is retired and very flexible with timing. Ms. DeBoer commented moving forward she would like to see Zoom as an option. 4
