This means an additional $17,000 in <br />bussing costs for Reading. At the State's request Reading attempted to convince <br />Wakefield to continue the bus sharing arrangements, but to no avail. Because of <br />this Dr. Munnelly asked the School Committee to approve submission of an amended <br />Metco budget for $242,090. He said that the State had committed to only a flat <br />10% increase in Metco funding this year, but indications are that if additional <br />funds become available Reading will be given a high priority. <br />Mr. MacDonald moved, seconded by Mrs. Philbrick, and it was voted unanimously, that <br />the School Committee approve the request to the State for an amended 1984 -85 Metco <br />Budget of $242,090, as delineated on Document B -2 -a. <br />Proposition 22 Amendment <br />The Chairman noted that at Mr. Nissen's request an item on amending Proposition 22 <br />was placed on the agenda of the last meeting, but action was postponed pending the <br />presence of a full Committee. <br />
