READING PUBLIC SCHOOLS <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />School Committee Meeting <br />REGULAR SESSION MINUTES AUGUST 4, 1997 <br />CALL ORDER <br />Chair Timothy Twomey called the regular session to order at 8:00 <br />p.m. in the Superintendent's Conference Room. All members were <br />present. Also present were Superintendent Dr. Harry K. <br />Harutunian and Associate Superintendent Dennis Richards. Mr. <br />Twomey noted this was the first School Committee Meeting of the <br />school year. Mr. Twomey briefly went over the items on the <br />agenda that were to be discussed this evening. <br />Dr. Harutunian explained to the School Committee that two <br />individuals were being considered for Recording Secretary for the <br />School Committee meeting and that tonight Linda Boutoures would <br />be taking notes and another candidate would be taking notes at <br />the August 5, 1997 meeting and after reviewing both candidates' <br />minutes, a decision would be made early next week. <br />Mr. Twomey noted that the approval of the minutes which is <br />usually the first item done would be put off until the end of the <br />meeting. <br />ROUTINE MATTERS <br />CITIZENS INPUT <br />Gail Phillips Spence spoke about her daughter who will be <br />attending kindergarten at Barrows this year. When Ms. Spence <br />went to the Open House in May, she was told the class size was 23 <br />children and she spoke to Mr. Papandreau and was told that would <br />change. Later on Ms. Spence expressed concern to Dr. Harutunian <br />who also expected the class size to change. Today Ms. Spence <br />found out that the class size did change to 24 and she feels that <br />this class size is too large for a kindergarten. Ms. Spence made <br />a comment regarding replacing a full time teacher who is retiring <br />with a part -time teacher and she feels a full -time should be <br />replaced with another full -time teacher. <br />
