}:3b <br />READING SCHOOL COMMITTEE MINUTES <br />MAY 9, 1983 <br />On a motion by Mrs. Philbrick, seconded by Mr. Nigro, the Committee voted <br />unanimously to approve for second vote policies IGCA -Summer School, <br />IICA - Field Trips and IKF - Graduation Requirements. <br />Mr. Nigro reviewed the "K" Series Policies with the Committee. It <br />was the consensus that all were adequate with the exception of <br />Policy KL - Complaints. The Administration was requested to rewrite <br />this Policy, dividing it into two separate policies, one dealing with <br />grievous matters and one for other complaints. <br />Mr. Nigro moved, seconded by Mrs. Philbrick, and it was voted unanimously <br />to eliminate Policy LD - 1610 - Relations Between Non- Public Educational <br />Organizations and Schools, because it is no longer necessary as the <br />subject matter is covered in other sections of the Policy Book. <br />Regarding Policy LD - 2120 - Contracts with Private Schools for Special <br />Needs Services, the Administration will look into whether it is any <br />longer necessary for the School Committee or Superintendent to sign <br />such contracts. <br />At the Conclusion of the policy review Chairman Garroway commended <br />Mr. Nigro, on behalf of the Committee, for his work and leadership in <br />almost singlehandedly reviewing the entire Policy Book <br />Use of Facilities - Policy Revision <br />Dr. Wells said that Mr. Winslow had brought to his attention that since <br />the renovation of the varsity football field and the construction of a <br />new track there have been many requests for the use of these facilities. <br />Mr. Winslow said that as the School Department is getting requests from <br />private users for the track and the entire area he thought that the <br />School Committee should determine whether a fee schedule should be <br />extablished. He referred to the suggestions he made in document 3 -2 -b, <br />adding that he arrived at the proposed fee schedule after checking with <br />surrounding communities. <br />Chairman Garroway asked if suggestions for precautions for use of these <br />facilities could be obtained from the contractor. <br />Mr. Winslow said that the track has no limitations but the field should <br />not be played on when wet as cleats could cause serious damage, and good <br />judgment must be used. He added that the newly installed sprinkler system <br />should make it possible to maintain the turf, but using too many hours a <br />day is not recommended. <br />The Chairman pointed out that there were three possible actions the <br />Committee could take: (1) Include the football field in Section A, #1 <br />of the Policy; (2) Add fees for the field and track areas; and (3) Make <br />Section "F" of the Policy agree with the agreement with the Board of <br />Public Works and the Recreation Committee. <br />I <br />
