Re: [LincolnTalk] Possible to vote early today?

[Caitlin Hogue]

So then what is the point of a paper ballot? From my experience at prior
town meetings, our votes were counted by voice or standing up.

To confirm, does this mean you can show up at say, 2 pm, and get a ballot?

Re: [LincolnTalk] question

So why can't a vote happen after town meeting that incorporates whatever
amendments get added? Why must it occur during town meeting?

Re: [LincolnTalk] Radical change in Lincoln

[Caitlin Hogue]

Babysitting has been offered recently.

Respectfully, however, it’s not something that all parents can utilize. Not
all kids will be comfortable in a large group babysitting setting where
they don’t know the adults/babysitters. It’s not a great setting for
babies/toddlers who are napping (if they even take babies — I think it may
be school-age only). I also assume there is no medical staff so students
requiring a nurse can’t go (I may be wrong on that one).

As a working parent who works in a public school and ends up at lots of
night meetings, I don’t want to spend my whole Saturday away from my kids.
Although these meetings are not that often, it actually does feel more
often than I would have expected. With a military partner, we often can’t
even send one of us to these meetings without paying for a private
babysitter (if we can find one).

I share all this just to point out that this kind of babysitting isn’t
necessarily a solution for all and there are many of us who want to
participate but can’t given the length and timing of these meetings. Given
this, any votes that happen at these meetings likely are not representative
of the town as a whole. I realize that town meeting structure is a state
issue, not something that we can change on our own, but I think it’s worth
noting.

Also — I’ve seen many people tout the benefits of hearing the discussion at
town meeting before a vote. Given that’s it’s 2023 and we can all share our
thoughts in advance online, in videos, and via email, I don’t think that’s
a key outcome (for me at least) anymore.

Best,
Katy Hogue

Re: [LincolnTalk] Bad Water Quality -

Lindsay, our tap water has smelled and tasted very strongly of dirt for the
past month. I can also smell the dirt smell when the shower is running (so
it’s cold and hot water).

We are on Lincoln rd. I was thinking it was just our house!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Fw: Soon we won’t have enough kids to fill our schools

[Caitlin Hogue]

Hi all,

One (longer-term) solution is to identify ways to increase the birth rate.
WBUR shared this story a couple of days ago about a particular city in
Japan that has implemented specific programs to help families with
children, and has a higher birth rate than the country overall (while
simultaneously growing in population, which is attributed to these programs
in the interview):
https://www.npr.org/2023/06/12/1181638613/japan-announces-plan-to-address-a-national-crisis-its-low-birthrate

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln School attrition data going back to 2016

[Caitlin Hogue]

Hi all,

I'll just add that some level of this detail is already provided by the
district in their enrollment report (scroll to last page):
https://www.lincnet.org/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=11404=26127=Enrollment-22Oct01.pdf

This link is just for the most recent year, and it only includes summer
exits (kids leaving at the end of the prior school year until October 1 of
the current year), so it doesn't capture all exits, but it's probably the
bulk of exits. I didn't dig back further to see if this was included in
prior year reports.

Best,
Katy

[LincolnTalk] ISO: child armchair or upholstered rocking chair

[Caitlin Hogue]

Good morning,

Does anyone have a child armchair or child's upholstered rocking chair to
sell or pass along? Trying to avoid battles over the one we have that both
children inevitably want to sit in at the same time.

Thanks,
Katy
