with some of the local towns such as Barnstable, Sandwich, etc. to discuss Teen Centers. Gus will put on a workshop on skate boarding. 3. High School building Usage - Gus mentioned having preliminary discussion on finalizing use of the school and procedures for scheduling. Nick Feldman mentioned that a private custodial staff will be servicing the high school. Nick Feldman would like to see some programs more carefully designed. Perhaps work on this over the summer. Even if we had to pay teacher salaries to make it work. Perhaps we need to charge a little more for the kids. Nick suggested offering science, math, journalism. Perhaps a family math class or a family science night would be something to run. College Gate is not being offered this summer. We may need to offer a couple of free classes. Gus mentioned that perhaps we need to earmark certain classes to run free. Gus would like to do more with disabled children. He also would like to be able to run the ropes program. Pat Riley suggested trying to establish a local College Gate Program. Summer institute is being run and summer school remedial classes. Nick discussed a 3 -week program costing $200.00. He felt this type of program would attract teachers. Maybe we could start on a small scale. Other suggestions were music lessons, Mike Persico band camp - Grades K-3 and 4 - 6. We could run two 3 -week sessions and alternate teachers. Updates 1.
