f <br /> Superintendent, Architect and the Committee. Give the Committee <br /> • information and feedback to make decisions. <br /> - Preliminary liaison with SFSB. <br /> Dr. DeMoura agreed the Committee could use someone working with <br /> them full time during the design phase; make sure it meets SFSB <br /> criteria. He estimates it would take 2-3 months to develop <br /> educational specifications. <br /> Ms. Murtha stated each architect interviewed mentioned an <br /> educational consultant that will come with the architect as part <br /> of the project. This seems to be duplicating that. <br /> The Committee discussed this issue at length . <br /> Mr. Griffin thinks the Committee needs someone to report to them. <br /> If we give it to the architectural consultant we loose control . <br /> From his experience there are many details to work out. The <br /> Committee should hire someone through the design phase, which <br /> could last 12 months. <br /> Ms. Ahlgren mentioned that Mashpee does not have a high school <br /> staff to ask questions of. We need opinions and information to <br /> design the school . She is concerned we will build a school <br /> without high school people involved . <br /> Mr. Polito stated the architect will research everything about a <br /> high school , develop a good data base and scrutinize people who <br /> know. You have to have checks and balances. The Committee needs <br /> someone to look at and scrutinize the architect's numbers. <br /> . Mr. Griffin does not want to pre-set a curriculum based on a <br /> building. <br /> Dr. DeMoura stated the principal and School Committee will be <br /> involved in selecting a staff, naming the school , choosing school <br /> colors, sports and scheduling . There is a lot of Community work <br /> and working with Committees. Mr. Griffin is describing more of <br /> an engineer. <br /> Mr. Griffin was thinking more about an educator, working solely <br /> in design criteria. <br /> Chairman Dinizio asked Dr. DeMoura if he sees a problem with the <br /> Committee hiring someone? <br /> Dr. DeMoura does not but he told the Committee they can count on <br /> the Superintendent's office to do a lot of those things, to keep <br /> the project moving . <br /> Mr. Polito began to wonder what the purpose of this person is? <br /> The architect has to be able to do what we are describing. The <br /> Committee may need more of a clerk to control the data. <br /> Ms. Murtha stated Dr. DeMoura expects to have a principal by <br /> March whose sole job will be getting the high school on board. <br /> We don 't need another position especially since the architectural <br /> firm will have their own consultant. If the principal needs help <br /> he will let us know. <br /> **What type of consultant should the Committee hire, their own , a <br /> principal or both? <br /> • Ms. Murtha - just a principal if the position is filled by March . <br /> 3 <br />
