All members <br /> of the School Committee were present with the exception of Mr. <br /> George Shannon, who arrived a few minutes late, and Mrs. Barbara <br /> Philbrick, who had called to say she would be delayed until 8: 00 <br /> p.m . . Others in attendance were Superintendent, Dr. Robert S . <br /> Wells, Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Robert Munnelly, Assistant <br /> Superintendent in Charge of Business, Mr. Ronald Winslow, <br /> Principal of the Parker Middle School, Dr. Jack Delaney, parents, <br /> and a reporter from the Daily Times Chronicle. <br /> Approval of the Minutes of Meeting of July 22, 1986 <br /> A motion was made by Mr . Nissen , seconded by Mr . Shannon, to <br /> approve the Minutes of the Meeting of July 22 , 1986 . <br /> Mr . Allen, the Chairman, asked if there were corrections. Mr . <br /> Richard Coco, stated that he would like to make some comments <br /> regarding some statements by Mrs. Philbrick to Mrs . Kendra Cooper, <br /> a parent, at the last meeting. Mr. Coco noted that Mrs. Philbrick <br /> had stated , in answer to a question from Mrs . Cooper about <br /> comments by Mr. Coco which were not in the minutes , that Mr. Coco <br /> had read the minutes and if he felt there were necessary changes <br /> he would have informed the committee . Mr. Coco wished to correct <br /> that statement by noting he had not read the minutes, because he <br /> was out of town at that time. He also wished to state, for the <br /> record, that when transcribing minutes he felt it was desirable to <br /> have more information rather than less, as these extra comments <br /> might prove helpful in the future. <br /> A vote was taken on the original motion, and was approved 3-0 with <br /> Mr . Coco and Ms . Lyons abstaining because of their absence from <br /> the July 22, 1986 meeting. <br /> Bills and Payrolls <br /> Warrants for bills and payrolls were approved as follows : <br /> Bills <br /> August 1, 1986 - General Expense - $39,930 .59 <br /> August 8, 1986 - General Expense - 20,735.25 <br /> August 15, 1986 - General Expense - 51 , 256.16 <br /> August 22, 1986 - General Expense - 52,067.50 <br /> August 29, 1986 - General Expense - 32, 495.85 <br />
