Members discussed the Year Round Education Seminar which Mr. Dunivan will be reporting back to FinComm about. Mr. Dunivan stated that although this trip is mainly a vacation for him, he would attend certain functions and with the help of his wife, a school committee member, would bring a report back to the Finance committee. Mr. Gallo stated that his opinion was that the FinComm did not need to be there. He felt that FinComm had nothing to do with the town's decision whether or not their would be year round education. He suggested that a more appropriate thing would be to have the school committee members who attend the seminars come into a Fincomm meeting and update the members. Members discussed the fact that Deirdre Greelish would be meeting with Dr. DeMoura regarding the school's computers. Mr. Dunivan stated that he had seen the letter which Ms. Greelish wrote to Dr. DeMoura and complimented her on her research of computer packages. He stated that Dr. DeMoura did agree to meet with Ms. Greelish but possibly had accepted the other computers already. Mr. Dunivan asked Mr. Ferriday to f ind out whether at the time of Ms. Greelish's meeting with Dr. DeMoura, there were computers already on the premises? Members mentioned the different dates and times that they would be meeting with their committees which they are liaisons to. Mr. Baker discussed a Land Bank Proposal , which he issued a copy of his proposal to each member. A copy is attached herewith.
