• the library. A consultant will have to lay it all out. <br /> The Committee added a library to Dr. DeMoura' s list. <br /> The Committee discussed an on site child care center and its <br /> value to the town and to the students. Who would run it and what <br /> would its function be? Would it be open to the entire community? <br /> It could be used as a teaching program for early childhood <br /> education. Mr. Frederick explained the Sandwich child care <br /> center is very profitable for their community school . <br /> The Committee discussed the need for the principal of the school <br /> to come on board early . After approval of the building at fall <br /> town meeting the duties of this committee will increase <br /> dramatically. Dr. DeMoura stated once the facility is approved <br /> the School Committee will advertise for a principal but it will <br /> take at least 3-4 months. It was suggested a "principal " in the <br /> consulting business my be hired to help with the design needs and <br /> meet the timetable. Dr. DeMoura offered to provide information <br /> to the Committee until the other person is hired but agreed that <br /> a design consultant will be needed. The Committee wants a person <br /> independent of the architect; someone working for this Committee. <br /> The Superintendent's responsibility is to the school . This is <br /> big job and a lot of hours are needed . They need professional <br /> input, someone to layout ideas and meet with the school committee <br /> • and superintendent's office. <br /> Dr. DeMoura reminded the Committee he hopes to move his office to <br /> this facility. <br /> Gus Frederick presented his list of ideas to the Committee. He <br /> is looking at the facility as more of a community center. <br /> - Child Care Center- full day care program. Could provide <br /> tutoring opportunities, gym, computers. The Sandwich program is <br /> run b their community school and is profitable. <br /> Y Y <br /> - Teen Center - meeting need of the whole community. <br /> - Competitive size swimming pool-he presented article regarding <br /> pools of the future. The pool has to be put in right. If there <br /> is not enough money for it now, it should be in the architectural <br /> design so there is a place for it in the future. <br /> Mr. Martiros suggested doing a survey to see how many people are <br /> interested in a pool . Mr. Polsi stated today it is foolish not <br /> to have a pool . If it is presented right, using facts and <br /> figures, people will go for it. Mr. Greelish stressed the need <br /> for a therapeutic pool . He agreed a poll would be beneficial . <br /> The Sandwich Community pool is profitable. <br /> - Gymnasium(s)- his suggestion is similar to Dr. DeMoura' s to get <br /> a multi-purpose use at the same time. May consider a moveable <br /> wall to create 2 separate gyms. <br /> - weight room - training room for the teams. <br /> . - Ball Fields - it is very difficult for children to play ball in <br /> this town because of the limited availability.
