MOTION by Dan Goggin and seconded by Ed Baker to accept the minutes of February 11, 1992, so voted unimanously, after Tony Gallo, Chairman, indicated a correction on page 3. He felt that he did not give a specific number of children when referring to the amount of children in each classroom. Sentence was stricken from the minutes. The members noted the correction. The members also indicated a name correction. The name Alec Matt was used throughout the document. His correct name is Alec Watt. Members noted this correction also. The School Building Needs Committee Members were present at the meeting, as well as, Dr. Lincoln DeMoura, Superintendent of Schools and Carole Dunivan, School Committee member. The members discussed some of the issues that were still unclear to them. Deidre Greelish stated that she would like to discuss the overcrowding problem. It appeared to her that the kindergarten children were being counted as full time students when they only attend school for half day sessions. She still felt that there was not an emergency situation at hand. Ed Baker indicated that he had two problems. one problem was the same concern Deidre Greelish had, the overcrowding situation and its urgency and the second problem was the eventual conversion to a Jr/Sr. High School. He mentioned the projections for 1996 and felt that we would not have enough students to fill the school. Ed Baker's suggestion was, that we think about a vocational school eligible to Mashpee residents. Al Polsi stated he would like the members to look at the Fiscal Policy and the Ten Year Plan. He did not feel the School Building Needs Committee had reviewed this policy. He felt one concern they did not look at, was the fact that the town should not exceed 3 ,000,000.00 in costs in any given year.
