<br /> sent were Edward F . Furash, Chairman, Jack L. Mitchell, Vice Chairman,

<br /> and Donald B. White.
<br /> Meeting was held at 7:15 P.M. with members Eaton, Maguire, Clarke and
<br /> Page of the School Committee and Superintendent of Schools, Fobert.
<br /> Discussion was held with respect to the proposed School budget. Chair-
<br /> man Maguire stated that the cuts suggested by Appropriations could
<br /> lead to the reduction of 60 people and that basic programs could fall
<br /> VZ well behind those of many towns .
<br /> 0 Chairman Furash stated that his Committee had requested a cut in the
<br /> school budget and that although we have not received their budget in
<br /> detail, asyet, their budget will actually be higher than reported.
<br /> He, further, stated that the budget can be reduced♦by wiser expendi-
<br /> ture of dollars and more efficient and productive programming. In
<br /> the light of finmmcial situations, at present, something has to go, some-
<br /> thing should "give" in the system. The School Committee will review
<br /> their budget again, but, the Personal Services budget is still dependent
<br /> on LEA negotiations.
<br /> The meeting was adjourned, at 7:55 P.M., to the Science Lecture Hall
<br /> for the Warrant Information meeting.
<br /> Respectfully submitted,
<br /> Elizabeth M. Flynn /.
