the Summit Meeting 7 with the BoS, Appropriation Committee, and School Committee. (See
the BoS Minutes of that event for the other Documents Presented and this Committee's

At 9:17 P.M. the Summit recessed so the School Committee could deliberate and vote on
the type of modular classrooms to request for the Fiske School; however, this Committee
continued in session.
The Committee discussed the scope of work contemplated by the School Building Project
Consensus Plan, and the incremental management of its execution, that had just been
presented to the Summit as the candidate for submission to the March 23, 2015, Special
Town Meeting #1, under its Article 2, at an estimated cost of $4,080,000. Among vary
degrees of design for many other elements for other Lexington elementary and middle
schools, that Consensus Plan would include the complete design of pre- fabricated,
modular, classrooms at the Fiske Elementary School. The Committee also discussed the
alternative that had been presented of temporary, modular, classrooms at the Fiske School
that was not an element of the Consensus Plan.
A Motion was made and seconded to support the School Building Project Consensus Plan
as presented and not to support the alternative of temporary, modular, classrooms at the
Fiske Elementary School. Vote: 4 -0
At 9:33 P.M. the Summit resumed.
