READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETING <br />REGULAR SESSION MINUTES APRIL 3, 1989 <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />Chairman George Shannon called the regular meeting of the Reading <br />School Committee to order at 7:35 p.m. in the Superintendent's <br />Conference Room. All members were present with the exception of <br />Margaret Cowell and Student Representative Matt McGee. Also <br />present were Superintendent Robert J. Munnelly and Assistant <br />Superintendent Ronald A. Winslow. <br />CITIZEN'S INPUT <br />Richard Davidson, Principal of <br />an opportunity to speak during <br />He was advised that citizen's <br />be welcome. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />BUDGET FY90 <br />the Birch Meadow School, requested <br />the discussion of the FY90 Budget. <br />input during that discussion would <br />Dr. Munnelly shared the review of the FinCom Recommendations for <br />the FY90 Budget. At the FinCom meeting on March 29, 1989, the Fin <br />Com voted to take out $48,500 from the School FY90 Budget. The <br />new services added in by School Committee deliberations; the <br />nurse, swim team, extra curricula, and the lowering of estimates <br />are the items FinCom would like to remove. <br />A lengthy discussion between School Committee members, <br />Administration and Reading citizens followed; Leslie Lougee, <br />parent, addressed the qualifications of new teachers; Richard <br />Davidson, Principal of the Birch Meadow School and parent Kendra <br />Cooper, supported the need of an additional nurse; and parent <br />Daniel Swollom, encouraged the swim team remain in our budget. <br />The School Committee decided not to make changes at this time. If <br />necessary, the School Committee will amend the FinCom Budget at <br />Town Meeting. <br />TRANSFORMER REPLACEMENT <br />Assistant Superintendent Ron Winslow shared the status of the <br />transformer replacement with the School Committee and audience. <br />He stated that the firm, TSI, has not been able to provide a <br />performance bond from a Massachusett's recognized insurance <br />company. It is the Superintendent's suggestion that we write up a <br />new contract, which includes the purchase of the new transformers <br />in the name of the Town. This process would minimize our exposure <br />to performance - completion risks and would permit the installation <br />this summer. The School Committee agreed that we should write a <br />new contract with TSI now so we may proceed with the removal of <br />PCB transformers on school grounds. <br />
