Spring Update
Dr. Doherty provided a spring in-person update. Dr. Doherty provided an update on the
number of positive student and staff cases per day in May, as well as total cases as of
May 27th. Dr. Doherty reported that a total of 593 RMHS students are vaccinated so far.
Pooled tested for Prom will be required for those not fully vaccinated.
Dr. Doherty congratulated RISE Preschool for being selected as an exemplar Pyramid
Model Preschool for Massachusetts, for addressing the social-emotional and mental
health needs of children. The National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI)
on behalf of The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) requested states to
identify local programs that implemented the Pyramid Model with success.
Dr. Doherty provided an update to the K12 Graduation Guidance based on recent changes
from CDC and State guidelines. Effective May 29th, for outdoor graduations only,
attendees and staff are not required to wear masks and are encouraged to distance from
individuals not in their household as feasible. Attendees are encouraged to wear face
coverings if they are not vaccinated. When outdoors, students are not required to wear
masks, and students should distance as feasible. It is now permitted to hand graduates
their diplomas and awards. Graduation facilities only need to clean high touch surfaces
and shared objects once per day, excluding certain circumstances.
Graduates may not have up to six guests – two on the field with the graduate and four in
the bleachers. Graduates and family members on the field are not required to wear masks
as the family Pods are socially distanced. There will be a QR code for guests to scan as
they enter the bleachers to keep track of attendance for contact tracing purposes. The
School Committee Chair and Vice Chair will be handing graduates their diplomas.
Parents/ guardians may still accompany graduates as they receive their diplomas as the
family wishes for picture opportunities. Graduates and their families will still arrive in
staggered start times and enter through a pre-identified gate and there will be no formal
processional or recessional.
Dr. Doherty discussed understanding the process of assessing for reading disabilities and
encouraged the Reading community to join SEPAC for the second in a series of
community reading training on June 15th, 2021 at 7 p.m.
Spring open house events are cancelled for this year.
The Reading Public Schools Special Education Parent Advisory Council would like your
feedback on future topics for SEPAC meetings and workshops. Please complete the
survey no later than Friday June 4, 2021.

SEPAC 2020-2021 Year in Review
2020-2021 Year in Review: Summer 2020 ● Board members participated on a rotating basis with weekly check-in meetings with the central office staff regarding the re-opening plans ● Laura Noonan, SEPAC Board Member, contributed to the reopening plans of the district by sitting on two committees (Meeting the Needs of All Learners Working Group and How Best to Support Parents Group). ● Multiple, informal outdoor social gatherings were held at [then] Board Member, Maria Morgan’s residence
2020-2021 Year in Review: September 2020
● Business meeting focused on the progress of the special education program descriptions that
were still being drafted at that time, Team Chair staffing changes, and Professional
Development on Reading (process of reading and reading instruction).
● Set short term/long term goals for the SEPAC. Goals included:
○ Hosting the Basic Rights workshop(s)
○ BSEA Mediation presentation
○ Social opportunities
○ Presentation regarding community based resources beyond that of district’s services
○ Creating a “Friends of the SEPAC”
○ Establish SEPAC school liaisons
○ Parent education of reading development and instruction including how to look for “red flags”

Re: 1st Reading of Green Vehicle Policy
At the June 14th School Committee Meeting, the Committee will have a first reading of the Green Vehicle
Policy, which is being voted on later in June by the Select Board.
In accordance with the 2021 Green Communities initiative, school districts and towns must adopt a policy that
requires all departments within a Green Community to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles for municipal use,
whenever such vehicles are commercially available and practicable. The School Committee will be asked to
vote to adopt this policy.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
The Reading Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age or disability.Town of Reading / Reading School District

DEFINITIONS
Combined city and highway MPG (EPA Combined fuel economy): Combined Fuel Economy
means the fuel economy from driving a combination of 43 percent city and 57 Percent highway
miles and is calculated as follows:
=1/((0.43/City MPG)+(0.57/highway MPG))
Drive System: The manner in which mechanical power is directly transmitted from the drive
shaft to the wheels. The following codes are used in the drive field:
• AWD = All Wheel Drive: 4 -wheel drive automatically controlled by the vehicle power
train system
• 4WD = 4-Wheel Drive: driver selectable 4-wheel drive with 2-wheel drive option
• 2WD = 2-Wheel Drive
Heavy-duty vehicle: Vehicles with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of
more than 8,500 pounds
POLICY STATEMENT
In an effort to reduce the town and school district’s fuel consumption and energy costs the Select
Board hereby adopts a policy to purchase only fuel efficient vehicles to meet this goal.
PURPOSE
To establish a requirement that the town and school district purchase only fuel efficient vehicles
for municipal/school use whenever such vehicles are commercially available and practicable.APPLICABILITY
This policy applies to all divisions and departments of the town and school district. It applies to
road-worthy passenger vehicles, pick up and utility trucks, and SUVs. It does not apply to
specialized equipment or off-road vehicles.
GUIDELINES
All departments/divisions shall purchase only fuel efficient vehicles for municipal use whenever
such vehicles are commercially available and practicable.
The town and school district will maintain an annual vehicle inventory for ALL vehicles and a
plan for replacing any non-exempt vehicles with vehicles that meet, at a minimum, the fuel
efficiency ratings contained in the most recent guidance for Criterion 4 published by the MA
Department of Energy Resources’ Green Communities Division.
It is the responsibility of the town and school district to check the Green Communities Division’s
Guidance for Criterion 4 for updates prior to ordering replacement vehicles.
Exemptions
• Heavy-duty vehicles: examples include fire-trucks, ambulances, and some public works
trucks that meet the definition of heavy-duty vehicle.
• As of the adoption date (above) police cruisers are exempt from this criterion due to lack
of widespread availability. However, we commit to purchasing fuel efficient police
cruisers, when they become commercially available. Police and fire department
administrative vehicles are NOT exempt and must meet fuel efficient requirements.
Inventory
The following information shall be included in a vehicle inventory list and said list shall be
updated on an annual basis and provided to the Green Communities Division: see Attachment A:
Reading Vehicle Inventory
NOTE: Departments/Divisions may use EPA combined MPG estimates or actual combined MPG.
FUEL EFFICIENT VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PLAN
All non-exempt vehicles shall be replaced with fuel efficient vehicles that adhere to the most
recent Green Communities Criterion 4 Guidance. Vehicles shall be replaced when they are no
longer operable and will not be recycled from one municipal department to another unless the
recycled replacement is more efficient than the vehicle it is replacing. In addition, when
replacing exempt vehicles, the function of the vehicle will be reviewed for potential replacement
with a more fuel efficient vehicle, including a fuel efficient non-exempt vehicle.The town and school district will review on an annual basis the Vehicle Inventory, along with the Green Communities Criterion 4 Guidance, to plan for new acquisitions as part of planning for the new fiscal year budget. QUESTIONS / ENFORCEMENT All other inquiries should be directed to the department/division responsible for fleet management and/or fleet procurement. This policy is enforced by the Chief Administrative Officer and/or his/her designee(s).
