(CHAIRPERSONS) <br /> (Brown, Rotberg, Unanimous) <br /> <br /> <br /> Mr. Wadsworth began the discussion with a proposal or formula to SCHOOL CLOSING <br /> retrieve information about schools, enrollments and possible alterna- <br /> tives. He said that the reports by the Citizens Advisory Committees <br /> gave valuable preliminary reviews, suggested directions, and a lot of <br /> very fine work was the result. He said there should be two things kept <br /> in perspective, that cost savings to the Lexington Public Schools will <br /> only occur when there is a reduction in the salary category, and second, <br /> we must cost out our policies to see what effect they will have in the <br /> future. He said that projections were available by school, by level <br /> through the year, 1984. He listed the following as suggested areas <br /> for review: <br /> 1. Class Size - Can the school committee agree to a class size? <br /> 2. Combination classes - When, where and what will be the school <br /> committee policy? <br /> 3. Is the combination of classes harmful or not? <br /> 4. What percentage of the time does the administration feel we should <br /> combine classes? <br /> 5. School district lines - Should we change school district lines? <br /> 6. Distribution of pupils - Are there schools and classes that are <br /> exceptionally low or high in enrollment? <br /> 7. What are the maximum number of schools a child should go to in <br /> a six year period? <br />
