Page 38 February 2, 1976 In decreasing the #5300 (Rental of Buildings) account, Mr. Maclnnes noted that it may be possible to delete this account completely, pending some housing arrangements currently under investigation. He mentioned that if he was able to delete this item, he would have to use some of the funds to cover the increased cost of the census. In discussing the #7300 (Outlay-Equipment) account, Mrs. Swanson questioned the need for additional filing cabinets. Mr. Maclnnes re- sponded that the need was created by record storage required for special programs such as LIRSP, and by storing of Core evaluation forms and ma- terials. In discussing the #7490 (Replacement of Equipment) account Mrs. Swanson questioned the advisability of air conditioning the Professional Library before other areas which are more widely used during warm weather. Mr. Maclnnes responded that the Professional Library would not be cooled by its own unit, but by a duct from the unit to be installed in the de- partment heads office. That was agreeable to the committee; however, Mrs. Swanson suggested that a program be explored so that areas in wide use during warm weather be air conditioned as soon as financially feasible. In discussing the #7490-8b account, Mr. Spiris asked the members of the School Committee to compare items budgeted with those requested. He noted that the members might wish to add some requests that had been cut. He pointed out that failure to purchase some items, for example band uniforms, might have serious effect on educational programs. As as result of further discussion it was VOTED: to add $750 to the replacement budget for replacement band uni- forms at the high school. (Rotberg, Wadsworth, Unanimous) The meeting adjourned at 10:40 p.m. Respectfully su itted, 1 /k Eli? beth A. Quinn
