READING PUBLIC SCHOOLS <br />Reading, Massachusetts <br />SCHOOL COMMITTEE MEETING <br />MINUTES <br />Call to Order <br />241 <br />JULY 20, 1987 <br />Chairman George Shannon called the regular meeting of the Reading <br />School Committee to order at 7:35 p.m. on July 20, 1987 in the <br />Superintendent's Conference Room at 34 Gould Street. All members <br />of the School Committee were present, with the exception of Mr. <br />Richard Coco. Also present were the Superintendent - Elect, Robert <br />J. Munnelly, Assistant Superintendent, Ronald A. Winslow, parents, <br />and a reporter from the Chronicle. <br />Approval of Minutes of June 23 & 30, 1987 <br />A motion was made by Mr. Nissen, seconded by Mrs. Philbrick, to <br />approve the Minutes of the Meetings of June 23 and 30, 1987. <br />Mr. Allen then stated he had received some information just before <br />the meeting that the committee would probably like to take a <br />few minutes to read before approving the Minutes. Mr. Shannon then <br />explained that it was a communication from a citizen, Mrs. Cooper, <br />asking that clarification of her comments at the School Committee <br />meeting of June 30th be included in the minutes. <br />Mr. Shannon stated in reviewing the minutes, it was the Chair's <br />continuing opinion that the minutes were just a general idea of <br />what occurred at the meeting. He stated he commended the <br />Secretary for the outstanding job of getting as many of the rather <br />extensive comments which occurred at that meeting, and which were <br />very lengthy. He asked if any member had a problem with adding <br />this additional information to the minutes? <br />Mr. Nissen stated on Page 7 of the minutes there was a rather <br />lengthy paragraph of Mrs. Cooper's comments, but as to the <br />clarification he would have to review the additional information <br />and the minutes more fully. He stated, on the other hand, if <br />there were any incorrect statements, he would not object to <br />changing the minutes accordingly. Mr. Nissen asked if the Chair <br />would ask Mrs. Cooper if there was something in the paragraph she <br />felt was incorrect. <br />Mr. Shannon asked Mrs. Cooper if there was anything in the minutes <br />that she found inaccurate or in conflict with what she felt were <br />her comments. Mrs. Kendra Cooper then stated she felt that some <br />descriptions in what was specifically sa- d`.Vere 'inac`curate, and <br />created an inaccurate impression.
