IMBO <br /> d"fr,,{ynr,fw VhP. <br /> w Mashpee lncCusion and'Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road -Vorth- <br /> MasGtpee, M-A 02649 <br /> Rodney Collins, he found out the cemetery is expanding. He then spoke with the DPW <br /> Director, Catherin Laurent, who informed him of the Cemetery Commission. His proposal has <br /> been submitted to the Commission, it may require a Town vote, but he will continue to follow <br /> protocols. In connection with the expansion, he was invited to the next meeting, and he asked <br /> Mr. Kupferman to join him. <br /> Tribal Representative <br /> The Select Board wants Tribal representation on MIDC. Winnie Johsnon- Graham currently <br /> serves but has Tribal responsibilities that take precedence at the moment. In figuring out how <br /> to handle this, she is wondering if there could be an alternate member. She has sent two <br /> requests to the MIDC liaison, David Weeden and the Tribal Chair, Brian Weeden seeking <br /> advice. Ms. Johnson-Graham also attempted to reach out and has not received a response. <br /> Mr. Fand asked to try a different Select Board member, also Tracey Wilson is a member of the <br /> Tri be. <br /> New Member <br /> This Committee has a vacancy for a voting member. The Chair has heard of some interest. A <br /> gentleman provided his phone and e-mail with no response. She also received interest from a <br /> parent of a preschooler who was a teacher in Barnstable. She would like to investigate a <br /> procedure for alternate members and add that our plan. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> Local Comprehensive Plan <br /> The Town Planner asked the Chair for some feedback on the LCP update. She noted to the <br /> Committee, when she volunteers at the school, the population seems more diverse than in the <br /> overall community. She inquired if there is any data or charts that show the demographics of <br /> the school population. <br /> Ms. Hill answered that the student body is very diverse. On the state's website you can pull up <br /> demographics from any school system in the Commonwealth. They get reporting on certain <br /> populations, like with MCAS, meeting a certain threshold, or information on the English <br /> language learner population. In the Mashpee school system, 7% of the students are <br /> considered multi-language learners, and that has been on the rise every year. There are some <br /> academic gaps between the majority typical and multi-language learners. The Chair would like <br /> some of that data to be sent to Brian Tobin. <br /> Strategic Plan <br /> 4 <br />
