Iappreciate the effort that has gone into the current revision ofa proposed new ordinance by the working group comprising Council President Robert Mushen, Council Member Andrew riarte-Moore, Town. Administrator Tony' Teixeira, and Town Solicitor Richard Humphrey. However, Ihave concerns about: 1) the necessity of such an ordinance, and  2) some oft the specific provisions oft the current draft ordinance.  Is the proposed ordinance necessary?  First, it is worth noting that the' Town ofLittle Compton, its officials, and the town's citizens, without such an ordinance in effect, have apparently and consistently been able to exercise their patriotic, memorial, and celebratory rights and duties with regard to the display oft the U.S. and other flags, throughout more than three centuries, consistent with U.S. and Rhode Island constitutions and law. Iti is not clear to: me why such an ordinance is necessary at this time. Second, though I am not al lawyer, iti is my understanding, as the language of the draft ordinance acknowledges, that the "government speech doctrine," , as currently defined and applied by federal court precedent (such as Shurtleffv. City of Boston [2019]), already establishes that a municipality, through its elected officials, may "select the views that it wants to express."The display ofi flags on public property, as understand such precedents, represents ai form of government speech. The proposed ordinance, Ib believe, ist therefore unnecessary and redundant. Whether or not such an ordinance is adopted, the town' 's elected officials, through the Town Council- and, Ibelieve, the School Committee, fora a flag pole on school property (see  1    discussion further below) -will: retain the authority they currently possess to determine what flags may be displayed on public property, consistent with other federal and state laws and  regulations.  Specific provisions of thej proposed ordinance:  Ihave concerns about and objections to other specific provisions oft thej proposed ordinance.I believe that ift the ordinance is adopted as drafted, its language and provisions may lead to continuing contention about its application and implementation, which could potentially lead to  costly and unnecessary litigation. These concerns include:  Authority over flag policy on school property: Section 11-1.1. ("Purpose.") oft the draft Thej following regulations are provided to establish policy for display offlags on municipally owned flagpoles in the Town. Such displays arej forms of speech which are subject to government. speech doctrine. Accordingly, the Town, through the Town Council, has sole discretion to approve the display ofany flag that is raised on a Town  ordinance reads:  flagpole.  Section 11-1.2. ("Applicability.) oft the draft ordinance reads:  Display off fags onj fagpoles on town property is governed by this policy. The language in Section 11-1.1. applies the policy to "display of flags on: municipally owned flagpoles in the' Town," and it apparently reserves to the' Town Council "sole discretion to approve the display ofa any flag that is raised on a' Town flagpole." Section 11-1.2. further applies the policy to "flagpoles on town property." Together, in my opinion, these twoj provisions either conflict with or leave ambiguous the issues previously raised to the' Town Council by School Committee Chair Polly. Allen and the School Department's attorney, John. Anderson. They have questioned the' Town Council's authority, under state law, to assert control over the display ofi flags on flagpoles on property under the control oft the School Department, through its elected At the Town Council's October 21, 202lmeeting, according to its minutes, "Ms. Allen stated that the school's attorney disagrees with Councilor Mushen's belief that the' Town Council has jurisdiction over the [school] flag policy." At thel November 4, 2021 public hearing on thej previous draft oft the proposed flag policy, according to' Town Council minutes, Mr. Anderson, "in attendance at the request of the School Committee Chair, : noted that the State Constitution gives education responsibility to the General Assembly, who vests in School Committees, subject to state laws over buildings and poles. Asks that By my recollection, Mr. Anderson may have submitted to the Town Council al letter citing state law that governs control over school property. Ic don'thave that letter.  School Committee.  the school pole be deleted from this] proposal."  2    However, Inote that RI General Law S 16-2-15. (Location of schools - Control of property.) provides ini its subsection (a) that "unless provided by law, the school committee of each city or town shall havet the care and control ofa all public school buildings and other public school property oft the city or town, including repairs oft the buildings and the purchase of furniture and other school equipment. " Iti is not clear to me what other state. law would supersede the School Committee's authority over the flagpole on the school's property, as authorized in S 16-2-15. In any event, no such superseding Moreover, RIGL S 16-2-9. (General powers and duties of school committees.) provides in subsection (a) that "Unless thei responsibility is otherwise delegated by this chapter, the entire care, control, and: management ofall public school interests ofthe several cities and towns shall be vested int thes school committees oft the several cities and towns." That subsection enumerates other powers and duties of school committees, including, in subsection (8), the authority to "provide for the location, care, control, and In addition, RIGL 8 16-9-10. (Display of flags.) specifically authorizes school committees to display the U.S. flag on school grounds and directs that the committee "shall also establish rules andi regulations for thej proper care, custody, and display oft the flag." The School Committee, on. August 11, 2021, in accordance with $ 16-9-10, adopted ai revised version of the "Flag Protocol" (attached) that it hadj previously Ins sum, Rhode Island law appears toj provide ample support for the assertions by School Committee Chair Allen and School Department attorney Anderson that thej proposed ordinance, as drafted, would conflict with the School Committee's legal authority to manage and oversee policy regarding the display ofi flags on the grounds oft the Wilbur- McMahon School. Hence, Ibelieve the current language oft thej proposed ordinance can only lead toi further contention andj possible litigation, perhaps between different departments oft the Town. The elected' Town Council has the ultimate authority and responsibility to resolve this conflict (or, at best, ambiguity) in the draft ordinance. Resolving this matter can' 't simply be delegated to the appointed Town Solicitor and Ifthe Council proceeds to adopt a flag policy ordinance, Ibelievei it should follow the advice of School Department John Anderson and specifically exclude the school flagpole from the "sole discretion", of the Town Council. A: model for this is provided by Barrington' 's flag policy ordinance (Chapter 104; https/ecode360.com/37331435; attached), which provides, among other provisions, the: following exclusion regarding  law or authority is identified in the draft ordinance.  management of school facilities and equipment."  approved on November 13, 2013.

This chapter shall setj forth how and when other flags may bej flown on municipal  property.  3    A.  The Town. Manager or the Council shall have the sole authority to determine whichj flags may bej flown on Town-owned, flagpoles. In all cases, the Council shall retainj final  discretion on which) flags shall bej flown.  B.  Notwithstanding. the foregoing, the flying offlags onj flagpoles owned by the Town that are located onj property controlled by the School Committee pursuant to R.I Gen.

C  Nothing. set forth herein is intended in any way toj prohibit or interfere with individuals carrying lawful flags inj public and/or displaying them on private property or petitioning the appropriate Town authorities tofly anyj flag onj flagpoles owned by the Town. Thus, for example, draft Sec. 11-1.1 could be amended by adding aj provision similar to Thej following regulations are provided to establish policy for display offlags on municipally ownedj flagpoles in the Town. Such displays arej forms ofs speech which are subject to government speech doctrine. Accordingly, the Town, through the Town Council, has sole discretion to approve the display ofany flag that is raised on a Town flagpole. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the flying offags on flagpoles owned by the Town that are located on property controlled by the School Committee pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws $16-2-15 shall be governed in accordance with the directives ofthe School Committee, or its designee, pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws S1 16-9-10. For the sake of further clarity, draft Sec. 11-1.2. could be amended as follows:  Barrington's Sec. 104-4 B. above, as follows:  Display offags onj flagpoles on town property, as defined in Section 11-1.1., is governed  by this policy.  Section 11-1.3.: Section 11-1.3. ("Display." ) oft the proposed ordinance reads as follows: The flagstaff on the Town Hall will be reserved for display of the Flag ofthe United The othery flagpoles will display the Flag of the United States, and may also display the Flag of the State and the Flag of the Town, as well as the POW/MIA. Flag, per 36 USC10 Display of the Flag of the United States, including conditions) for displaying it at hal-  States, and no other flags.  Section 189a.  staff shall conform to US Flag Code as setj forth in 4 USCI.  4    Iwill only note, with regard tot the first paragraph oft the section, that thej policy of reserving the Town! Hall flag pole for display oft the U.S. Flag would represent al break from established precedent. At the very least, the' Town Council for at least a couple of decades has annually authorized flying the Armenian flag on the' Town Hall pole on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. More recently, the Council, at the request of town residents, authorized flying the Pride flag on one day last year. With regard to the second paragraph, referring tot the POW/MIA flag, Iwonderi ift the citation to the U.S. Code: is accurate and up to date. The ordinance cites "361 USC 10 Section 189a." I'm not entirely familiar with citations to thel U.S. Code. But whenI search at htps/Aiscodehousegousegovbrowsexhtm, the site ofOffice oft the Law Revision Counsel of the United States House ofl Representatives, Iami not able to find a section of the U.S. Code at the Section 189a citation provided. However, the uscode website does provide, at Title 36 ("Patriotic and National Observances, Ceremonies, and Organizations"), a $902 ("National League of] Families POW/MIA flag") that seems to correspond to the Section 189a cited in the draft ordinance. (The citation provided is 36 USC! 902.) In any case, it may be worth confirming whether the citation provided in the Iwould note that thej provisions of $902 appear to apply only to1 requirements and procedures for flying the POW/MIA flag ati federal buildings and: facilities (such as, locally, post offices). There appears tol be no mandate in the law requiring state orl local governments to: fly it. Under the "government speech doctrine" previously discussed, and cited in the draft ordinance, a' Town Council would presumably have discretion Thei final paragraph of Section 11-1.3. provides that the US flag shall be displayed according to the US Flag Code, as seti forth in 41 USC1.Iwill: note that this form of citation is slightly different from that provided in the previous paragraph regarding Section 189a. Perhaps they arel legally consistent. However, the proposed ordinance, as drafted, requires ai reader oft the ordinance to locate the texts oft the two cited federal laws to understand their specific requirements. In any case, the method of citation to the two separate laws citedi in the draft ordinance should be consistent, to facilitate access by an Iwould finally note that the extensive provisions of4 USC7 ("Position and manner of display") don'ta appear toi include aj prohibition against flying other flags on the same staff orl halyard as the U.S. flag. In fact, subsection 7() provides as follows: 0 Whenj flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants ofs societies arej flown on the same halyard with thej flag of the United, States, the latter should always be at the peak. When thej flags arej flown from adjacent. stafs, thej flag of the United, States. should be hoistedj first andi lowered last.

Conclusions:  Ins summary, Ihave these concerns: its current draft form. school grounds.  Idon'tbelieve there is an urgent necessity to adopt thej proposed ordinance, especially in Ift the Council does adopt an ordinance, Iwould strongly urge amending the draft, probably in Sections 11-1.2 and/or 11-1.3, to specifically exclude any flagpole(s) on The draft's citations to federal law (and to state law, ifs such citations are added) should  be double-checked as to accuracy, consistency, and scope.

We will listen. We will bring together diverse stakeholders and experts to understand the realities on the ground and develop and share creative solutions. We will be decisive. Given the size and scope of the challenge, we must move deliberately and make tough choices. We will need to bei flexible and nimble, and we will adapt quickly as variables on the ground change.

When they are developed effectively, they are living documents that invite continuous improvement and become a dynamic record ofi institutional knowledge. Considerable work in this area has been done at' Wilbur and McMahon School in ELA, Math, and Science over the past two years. The information provided on our website is the foundation of our curriculum. New York state hosts EngageNY.org (and EurekaMath), which provides free, open educational resources, including PK-12 ELA: and math curriculum modules and professional development resources. Several Rhode Island districts, including the Little Compton School Department, use the! EngageNY.org curriculum framework = and build on it.

Dedicated space for solar-thermal storage tanks: Where domestic hot water systems are upgraded, when at all possible, space will be dedicated to potential solar-thermal storage tanks in the same areai to allow for easy installation of the system in the future. Combined cooling, heating, and power system integration with new central plant installations: CCHP has already been applied in multiple schools across the country, and can be reviewed for potential installation in wholesale renovation projects here. While not technically fully renewable, the efficiencies found by utilizing the waste heat of the system are typically considered to be in the spirit of renewable installations.
