1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Elaine spoke with someone on the School Committee regarding a partnership with the
schools and curriculum. This was favorably received and reported to have been
passed to the Superintendent. Jaclyn indicated that Kathleen Dalton also met with a
SC member who mentioned the Stone Building as a possibility for teacher professional
development there (e.g., training site for history component).
2. OLD BUSINESS
Review of charge and timeline - Melinda observed that more details are needed (for a
Letter to the Select Board regarding change in timeline) which lists the actual tasks yet
to happen and the date we are working toward.
Final report - Mark would really like the Committee to be working on pulling together
a narrative of what we know needs to go into the final report. Cristina volunteered to
work on this with him before the next meeting, while at the same time producing some
goals and dates for Melinda. The first effort will focus on what we have heard from
community comments and committee members' "dream statements" to fold into what
we think the building should be.

Funding sources - From discussion on Lyceum restoration, various uses and the
question of how other similar programs get their funding, Jeff said that he has a list of
12 funding sources (which would feed into the Next Steps part of the report) and will
be collaborating on building this out with Lester. Meg volunteered to look into staffing
costs, etc. from our existing list of Case Studies.
Adjournment was motioned by Cristina, seconded by Mark and unanimously approved.
