Regular Session -2- February 8, 1999 <br />HIGHLIGHTS <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that the artwork displayed in the School Committee conference <br />room this month was done by the students at the Coolidge Middle School <br />SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT <br />Dr. Harutunian advised the Committee that Phil Vaccaro was nominated for and the <br />recipient of the Ted Damko award for Athletic Directors. <br />Chair D'Antona asked that the Committee's congratulations be passed along to Mr. <br />Vacarro. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised the Committee that he, Chair D'Antona, Tim Twomey, Russ <br />Graham and Sid Bowen had met with Jim Anderson of the SBAB to discuss whether it <br />would be possible to move forward with the Barrows project before the Dividence Road <br />project. Mr. Anderson advised that the Barrows project would not be reimbursable <br />unless it was tied into the Dividence Road project because it does not solve the <br />enrollment problem. Dr. Harutunian advised that the School Building Committee <br />would be meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss the next step to take. Dr. <br />Harutunian advised that he would schedule Russ Graham to be at the next School <br />Committee meeting to discuss the outcome of the School Building Committee meeting. <br />Chair D'Antona stated that the SBAB was emphatic that the project would not be <br />reimbursable because it does not solve the enrollment problem. <br />Mr. Stohlman stated that he could not find anything in the law that confirms the <br />information received from Mr. Anderson regarding tying one project to another because <br />of enrollment. <br />Dr. Harutunian stated that the renovated Barrows would have less capacity than the <br />current Barrows because of requirements of the SBAB for art, music and SPED space. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that as Mr. Stohlman had requested, he would contact Mr. <br />Anderson and ask that the requirement that the Barrows' project be tied to a new school <br />and not eligible as a category 3 project be sent to the Committee in writing. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised the Committee that he, Robin D'Antona, Tim Twomey and <br />Russ Graham and Gene Raymond had met with Jim Anderson regarding the high school <br />feasibility study. He stated that the information received at that meeting indicated that <br />Options B1, B2 and C would be 66% reimbursable by the state. He stated that the <br />architect was asked to go back and do some further work including figures on Options <br />B1, B2 and C. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that he had attended the Far Out Solar System event at the <br />Barrows school and thanked the 5 `h grade students and teachers at the Barrows school. <br />
