The com_Mittee engaged in a discussion regarding its practice of
holding e names of new personnel for one week before castings its Page 150
vote. .-. Rotberg stressed the importance of continuing this practice
. which insures the admittance of the best candidates to the system.
.__ . Nadsworth and .'ss. Berchtold egreed with Mr. Rotberg. Hr. 'iadsworth
noted that the position of Petco Coordinator is i:mtorta_nd and, therefore,
we should rake su=e that is will be filled by a qualified candidate.
Berchtold did not object to any name on the list but questioned the
role description of the social worker and the coordinator. Dr. :'Obert and
Mr. Spins told the committee that, because of the threat of losing candidates
to another system, it was important to vote on them as soon as possible.
After further discussion, the school committee agreed to vote on new personnel
at the next meeting, at which time the problem of holding names for one week
will be resolved. .

The criteria used to determine which children qualify for the program PROGRAM
is to locate those who are 1-2 years below the reading level (priority one),
followed by those who are one year below the reading level (priority two) .
invitations are then extended for these children to participate in the program.
Mrs. Berchtold noted that Title I has a Parents Advisory Committee and
asked rs. Difantis how it works. She said the Committee has alread met.
It sees proposals, gives suggestions and gives its approval or disappoval.
More parental participation is expected as time goes on.
Dr. Fobert said the biggest threat in terms of se rices is whether the
Department of 'Education will continue to commit the funds.
-s. Swanson asked if this :.rogram will be offered during the year.
Dr. ,ober; replied that if we do away with the summer program, we may have to
provide funds for an individual tutorial program under:special needs during
the summer.
Mr. '.otberg made a MOTTON, which was seconded by Hr. Wadsworth, to accept
the Tentative Staff for Summer Reading - 1975 as recommended by the Superintendent
of Schools, The committee voted Unanimously to accept the list. (See attachment)
