Page 89 Upon the recommendation of the superintendent it was TUITION STUDEA VOTED: Upon the recommendation of the superintendent to the school commit- LEA/SC tee it was CONTRACT VOTED: to approve the results of the LEA/LSC negotiations as indicated in the "Memorandum of Agreement between the LEA and LSC". (Michelman, Brown, Unanimous) Mr. Spiris presented the committee with an informational packet re- NITRITES & garding Nitrites and Nitrosamines from Mrs. Dorothy Griffin, Coordinator, NITROSAMINES School Lunch Program. Dr. Rotberg commented on a letter written by Mrs. Swanson to Mr. SCHOOL COMMZTI Paul Masoner, moderator of the CCLPS in regard to a meeting scheduled REPORTS by CCLPS and PTA Council, for the evening of May 4, 1976. He said he questioned the accuracy of the statement that a majority of the school committee felt it was too soon to discuss the E.P.S.C. report. He also challenged the procedure of the school committee chairman who responded on behalf of the school committee without a formal discussion of the topic. He also noted it was illegal to convene separately as members, and it was improper to canvas members. He said that the procedure raised serious questions and should be considered as a bad practice. Mr. Michelman said Mrs. Swanson had called him and he expressed his disagreement with the letter. Dr. Rotberg replied that he knew of one member who was not called for an opinion. Mr. Brown said he contacted Mrs. Swanson upon learning of the meet- ing to express his feeling that it was premature to discuss the E,P.S.C. Report, but he did not challenge the right of the CCLPS or PTA Council to call a meeting. Mr. Wadsworth said the committee had discussed the schedule for con- sideration of the report and agreed that staff exposure should be a pri- ority before a public discussion. Mrs. Swanson replied that a majority of the committee contacted her upon learning of the meeting to express their reservations with the time- liness. She noted that she called Paul Masoner and said this feeling was not unanimous but only reflected a majority opinion. Mrs. Swanson concluded her remarks to the committee saying that as chairman she felt she could express comments about school committee mat- ters, if verified. Due to the Town Meeting the school committee VOTED: to adjourn at 7:45 p.m. (Michelman, Brown, Unanimous) Respectfully submitted, e / /kRichard H. Barnes. Recording Secretary. Pro tem
