Page 94 <br /> May. 10, 1976 <br /> Appointment <br /> <br /> Resignations <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Maternity Leave <br /> <br /> Leave of Absence <br /> <br /> <br /> Mr. Spiris proposed a suggestion by Mr. Brown to provide an appro- RETIREMENT <br /> priate recognition to school employees who retire after 20 or more years RECOGNITION <br /> of service in the Lexington Public Schools. Mr. Brown said other town <br /> agencies had a similar program. <br /> Dr. Rotberg felt a routinized method was void of meaning and sug- <br /> gested that members might design a more personal, informal and meaning- <br /> ful program--one that would focus on individual contributions rather <br /> than town funds. Mr. Michelman questioned the use of town funds, but <br /> was assured that it was legal to use funds for such a program. <br /> Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent it was <br /> VOTED: to adopt a policy to suitably recognize employees with 20 or <br /> more years of service upon retirement from the Lexington Public <br /> Schools. (Brown, Wadsworth, Unanimous) . <br /> Mr. Spiris said that there was no unanimous agreement on phasing PHASING JUNIOR <br /> among the three junior high school staff as to a firm direction that HIGH SCHOOL <br /> the Lexington Public Schools should move. The L.E.A. had been con- <br /> tacted and Mr. Spiris said he was suggesting a professional consulta- <br /> tion with the faculties on the topic. <br /> It was agreed to postpone discussion on the topic until after the <br /> arrival of the new superintendent, Dr. Lawson. Miss Nancy Abelmann ad- <br /> vised the committee that the student advisory committee would have a <br /> statement on the topic shortly. <br /> Upon the advice of the Superintendent it was agreed to accept the PARKING LOT <br /> administration's plan to eliminate one of the two part-time high school MONITOR <br /> parking lot monitors and make the other position full time. <br /> Upon the suggestion of Mr. Michelman the language of the superin- SUPERINTENDENT'S <br /> tendent's contract was changed to include an annual evaluation of the CONTRACT <br /> superintendent of schools. Mr. Michelman felt the change was a more <br /> positive one, and evaluations should occur as a matter of course. The <br /> former language made it necessary for a member to express his displeas- <br /> ure with the superintendent in order to raise the issue of evaluation. <br /> 1 <br />
