Peter asked Dr. DeMoura to invite the clergy. He will send those invitations. Merry Sue explained there will not be formal tours but students will be positioned throughout the building as well as staff members and people can view the building on their own. Dr. DeMoura asked the Committee to notify him of anyone else they would like an invitation to go to. The volunteer coordinator has the invitation list and is working on addressing the invitations. It will be a short ceremony. Merry Sue will give a short history of the process. Janice will introduce the people involved and recognize the guests. FF & E TECHNOLOGY Dr. DeMoura introduced Joe Augenblick the new network administrator for the high school. Mike Kirwin gave an update of where we are with the technology vendors: -Merrimack: has been instructed to revise their existing invoice and return the equipment for the Internet connection. Dr. DeMoura and Steve Greelish have worked out another package that is very cost effective. The school will order 2 data lines at a great rate. - Whicom: was closed out at an earlier meeting. There is $814 remaining that won't be paid out. Paul wants them to send a letter stating that their contract has been fulfilled. -Edgestar: there recently was a problem with this software. Steve thought it was bug in the software, not a matter of the product requiring more memory. Edgestar brought the corrected software here 1 week ago. They are keeping a close eye on that. There is one piece of network management software and training outstanding- - CIC: is substantially complete. Because of the poor performance of their training company, Mike Kirwin wrote them a letter stating that the training was unacceptable. They will back charge that out of their contract and the school will use the $10,000 pool of funds for training. Paul asked if the $10,000 will be adequate to meet the requirements of training? Will it meet the performance spec? He asked Joe Augenblick if he has an objection to this we should know about it soon.
