(Swanson, Gaudet , Unanimous) CHANGES (CERTIFIED) The Superintendent reviewed the process for filing the vacancy POSITION OF of Administrator of Special Education. He noted there were 78 appli- ADMINISTRATOR cants. Of these applicants, three were present employees in the OF SPECIAL Lexington Schools. The initial screening of these applicants was con- EDUCATION pleted by Jack Monderer, Geoff Pierson, Dick Barnes and the Superin- tendent. From this group, 23 were selected for interviews with Jack Monderer and Dick Barnes. As a result of these interviews, seven outside candidates and two local candidates were selected for compre- hensive interviews by the eight-person Advisory Screening Committee Page 60 August 27, 1980 which consisted of two parents, two teachers (one regular elementary classroom teacher, and one secondary special educator) , two principals ,(one elementary and one secondary) , Jack Monderer, and Dick Barnes. Following each of the eight interviews (one candidate withdrew) , the Advisory Committee members independently rated each candidate on a special form developed for this purpose. At the conclusion of the total interview process, interviewers placed each candidate into an acceptable or unacceptable category. Dick Barnes consolidated the ratings received by each of the eight candidates and submitted them with all rating sheets to the Superitndent . After reviewing the evaluations, the Superintendent interviewed Paul Lombard and the second recommended choice by the Advisory Committee. Paul received the highest cumulative rating of all eight candidates from the Committee. He was the only candidate to receive acceptable ratings from all members of the Screening Committee and was the first choice of five members. The candidate who ranked second was the first choice of one in- terviewer and was tied for first in the ratings of two others. Therefore, based on the evaluation of the Advisory Committee and assessment of the candidates, the Superintendent recoumiended that Paul Lombard be appointed for the position of Administrator of Special Ed- ucation and recommended him, effective September 1, 1980, at the annual salary of $31,645.

In Addition, Paul was a summer camp counselor for several years, which involved staff supervision and working with special needs students.

While some trips are similar in cost to last year, others show increases of 1007. or more, • INCREASE IN PRICE OF MILK On June 3, 1980, the School Committee approved increases in the prices for school lunches and milk. These increases were necessary to help us keep the program on a self sustaining basis. The State has since approved our request for approval of these price increases. Since that time we-have been notified that the reimbursement for sales of milk; will be decreased from $.0775 (which we were receiving last year) to $.05 effective September, 1980 (copy attached). We have contacted the State School Lunch Office and they have given verbal approval to raising the price of milk to 10c. This years bid for milk will average out to 13c per 1/2 pint. When the cost of labor, straws and napkins are added to this, we will be losing approximately $800. per month if we do not increase to 10c per 1/2 pint, This would not effect the price of Type A meal which includes milk. It would only effect the price of milk when sold separately. In addition to the estimated monthly loss of $800., we were anticipating considerable problems with the shortage of pennies. An increase to l0c would alleviate that problem also, Recap Approved Request 79-80 6/3/80 8/27/80 Avg. Cost .12 .13 .13 VS Selling Price .05 .08 .10 Reimbursement .0775 .0775 .05 .1275 .1575 .15
