PERSONNEL, BOARD .T.22=_212. 2.1_11-E1.0 rkChairman of the School Committee stated that he had read the memorandum from Appropriations with respect to the establishment of a Personnel Board and that he felt points more applicable to school operation were not covered. The School Committee is interested in conserving expenses and al- locating personnel resources . With respect to non-certified personnel there are about 125 people and at present there is � a personnel man to oversee policies and maintain comparable salaries with other Town employees . This set up has a good working relationship and seems to function well. Gary-questionned if fringe benefits were available to non-certi- fied school and town employees . A Personnel Board would be equipped to look at inequality in comparable positions . The Appropriations Committee is not equipped to set standards . Fobert-there is not significant difference between town and school custodians . Gary-stated that at this point the Selectmen will impliment the Personnel Board or Town Meeting will adopt a more formal Per- sonnel Board or a more disciplined formal approach. Perhaps such a Board is not germain to the School Department. The Selectmen now have an ad hoc salary study committee working. Clarke-would it be helpful if the School Committee appealed to the Selectmen to pursue the Personnel Board? Furash-suggested a note of consideration PRO FORMA Clarke-is it forthcoming? R. Perry and E . Furash are working on it and hope to have it within two weeks . GREY NUNS PROPERTY Clarke-consensus of the meeting with the Selectmen to get an architect to look at the site and make preliminary drawings and a study to determine if its purchase, with additions, would be good for Town economy.
