The Appropriation Committee held a meeting at 7:00 P.M. , on Wednesday,

sent were Edward F . Furash, Chairman, Jack L. Mitchell, Vice Chairman,
Elizabeth M. Flynn, Secretary, Arthur T. Bernier, J. H. Blaisdell ,

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