Mr. Doherty called this meeting to distribute copies of
- Budget Process (handouts -process described, staff forms and directions)
- Draft of Middle School Staffing Options (as conceived so far)
and to conduct related presentation and discussion as follows:
* Regular Day Budget is estimated to be $55,000.00 with different budgetary practices
being put in place by the central school administration which may provide avenues for more
funding for Coolidge.
* Possible lease of a new Xerox copier presented for discussion
* For our next meeting, the School Council was invited to suggest budgetary items using
the standardized forms being circulated this year.
Middle School Staffing- 5 options and their consequences developed in tandem with
Parker Middle School and the Central Office were submitted to the Superintendent before our
meeting. Option C, a re-districting to equalize class size and propose, slight staff additions seems
most likely at this point.
* Mr. Doherty requested 2 non-staff Council members to participate with 2 PTA
members, 2 staff members, and the Principal to make a space and facility feasibility study proposal
in form presentable to.Town Meeting. John Carpenter volunteered with other members
considering the request.
