Dr.Snow Dockser asked if we will allow public comment when the committee returns to open <br /> session prior to the vote. Until the contract is executed we will not be able to speak of specifics. <br /> Ms.Brunt said the committee will vote in executive session and that they are satisfied with the <br /> terms and return to open session. <br /> Mrs.Bomwski suggested that the Chair state that we have reached an agreement with the <br /> Superintendent and language changes have been made regarding the term of the contract and <br /> vacation. <br /> The committee asked clarifying questions. ' <br /> Mrs.Webb moved,seconded by Mn.Borawski,to authorize the chair to complete contract <br /> negotiations with the Superintendent for the purpose of agreeing to terms of the new <br /> contract. The roll call vote carried 6.0. Mrs.Webb,Mr.Robinson,Dr. now Dockser,Dr. <br /> Vanden Aklmr,Mrs.Borowski,and Mr.Boivin. <br /> Mrs.Dowd asked if the Chair should walk through the terms of the contract in open session. <br /> Ms.Brunt said yes reviewing the changes in the terms and vacation language,removal of the <br /> language allowing Dr. Doherty's children to attend the Reading Public schools and it is a three- <br /> year contract. <br /> Mrs.Borawski felt it was important to note that when the contract is fully executed it will be <br /> made available to the public. <br /> 1 <br /> Dr.Vanden Akker asked if we were camcuting our public duty to let the public know what the <br /> ditterences am. Ms. Brunt said the rollover language has been improved,the contract no longer <br /> has a two-year rollover. <br /> Mrs.Borawski thanked Mr. Robinson and Mrs.Webb for all their time and energy on this <br /> matter. <br /> Mr.Robinson left the meeting at 7:37 a.m.to invite Dr.Doherty to the meeting, <br /> Dr.Doherty arrived at 7:38 a.m. <br /> Chair Robinson told the Superintendent that the committee has voted unanimously to support the <br /> new contract with the terms and vacation piece changes. <br /> Dr.Doherty appreciated the time and work put into this contract knowing it has created a lot of <br /> angst. He wanted to measure the committee he never abused the two-year rollover language and <br /> understands the terms. Dr.Doherty said the past five years have been trying and he is excited to <br /> move forward and is optimistic of the future of the district. <br /> Mr.Robinson said that in open session the committee will have the same vote and he will go <br /> over the changes with a 30,000-foot lens regarding the term,compensation and vacation <br /> wording. Once the contract is executed it will be available on the website.Following that <br /> explanation,he will then ask for public comment. <br /> Dr.Snow Dockser understands the rationale of a zero%raise but doesn't like it. <br /> P...1 2 <br />
