July 14, 1975 <br /> Page 162 <br /> Mr. Rotberg felt that by denying leadership to outstanding teachers, we may <br /> lose significantly more than we gain. He emphasized the need to reward outstanding <br /> service. In addition, he said he would agree to award leadership to only those <br /> who never received it before, thus, the year's figure would be about 3 1/2%. <br /> Mrs. Berchtold felt that she could not agree to that stipulation. <br /> Mrs. Berchtold made a MOTI0N "To award leadership to 3% of staff this year". <br /> The MOTION failed for lack of a second. LEADERSHIP <br /> AWARDS (cont'd) <br /> Dr. Fobert stated that perhaps at budget time a dollar figure should have <br /> been decided upon and then the committee could have ranked candidates for <br /> recommendations. Mrs. Swanson noted that discussion of the program was minimal <br /> at budget time. <br /> Mr. Rotberg asked if the present committee could do a ranking by the next <br /> school committee meeting. Dr. Fobert stated that the committee was not available <br /> during the summer but could meet in September. <br /> Mrs. Swanson reiterated that she was still uninformed as to the true cost of <br /> the program and also felt that the recent teacher survey supported a need to <br /> redesign the pro�uam. <br /> Dr. Fobert commented upon his memo to- the school committee regarding Leadership <br /> and again outlined the five options which he had recommended. <br /> Mr. Brown asked if the school administration was familiar with the Town Merit <br /> Program. Dr. Fobert responded that he knew some of the details but has been unable <br /> to get specific information from the Town eventhough he has been requesting it for <br /> a few years. The committee felt that this information could be obtained. <br /> Dr. Fobert said he would aske the Town Manager to provide this information. <br /> Upon the recommendation of the Superintdendent of Schools, it was <br /> VOTED: To award Leadership Awards for 1975-76 as presented. <br /> (Berchtold, Swanson, Wadsworth, NO, Brown, Rotberg, YES - 3-2 AGAINST) <br /> Dr. Fobert gave the committee a review of vacancies as of this date.
