.. <br />READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />REGULAR SESSION February 24, 1998 <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />Chair Twomey called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. at the <br />Birch Meadow school. Present were Committee members Cavicchi, <br />D'Antona, Williams, Stohlman and Twomey. Also present were <br />Superintendent Harutunian and Associate Superintendent Richards. <br />SCHOOL SIZE & ENROLLMENT PRESENTATION <br />Richard Davidson thanked the members of the School Size and <br />Enrollment Committee and gave a presentation on the School Size <br />and Enrollment Committee's recommendation to the School Committee <br />for solving the elementary school enrollment problem. <br />Mr. Davidson described the three solutions recommended by the <br />School Size and Enrollment Committee including the pros and cons <br />of each solution. <br />1. New elementary school and addition /renovation to Barrows. <br />2. New elementary school only. <br />3. Convert Coolidge to K -5 or 3 -5 elementary school and build <br />new middle school. <br />Chair Twomey opened the discussion up to questions from the <br />audience. <br />Ms. Nora Stojes asked whether the site for building a new school <br />would definitely be Dividence Road. She stated her concern that <br />traffic would be a major issue and also safety for the children. <br />She also stated that both Dividence and Emerson were considered <br />private ways. <br />Chair Twomey advised that it was not a done deal at this point. <br />No constraints were put on the School Size and Enrollment <br />committee and the School Committee was taking input from the <br />public at the 4 meetings scheduled at each of the elementary <br />schools and would begin deliberating on a solution at the School <br />Committee meeting of March 4th. <br />
