READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />Special Session October 18 1997 <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />Chair Twomey called the meeting to order at 8:20 a.m. at the <br />Reading Municipal Light Department. Present were Ms. Cavicchi, <br />Ms. D'Antona, Mr. Spadafora, Mr. Stohlman and Mr. Twomey. Also <br />present were Superintendent Harutunian and Associate <br />Superintendent Richards. <br />SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT (Out of order) <br />Dr. Harutunian asked the School Committee for clarification on <br />the citizen at large position for the School Size and Enrollment <br />Committee. There was a stipulation that the citizen at large <br />member of the committee have no school age children. The <br />candidate selected for the at large position, Mr. Dwyer, has no <br />school age children but does have pre- school children and Dr. <br />Harutunian asked whether the Committee felt this would disqualify <br />Mr. Dwyer for the at large position. The Committee advised that <br />this would not disqualify Mr. Dwyer. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised the Committee that an updated report from <br />NESDEC regarding school enrollment projections was included in <br />their packet. Dr. Harutunian advised that there is no major <br />change in the report, but that the report now included actual <br />enrollment numbers for this year. <br />Dr. Harutunian discussed with the Committee the recommendations <br />for expenditures of bonding appropriations for Joshua Eaton, <br />Birch Meadow and Reading Memorial High School as outlined in Beth <br />Klepeis's draft memorandum of October 17. The three projects <br />went out under one bid. The only bidder for the building <br />maintenance projects related to energy conservation and HVAC was <br />Siebe. <br />Dr. Harutunian advised that there is enough money for the Joshua <br />Eaton project. <br />
