Mike Pietrowski said they should look at the video system - will it be <br /> interactive with computers? Any system should last 10 years and be easily <br /> adaptable to handle technology changes as they happen . He would like to <br /> attend the technology meeting . The Committee should consider expendability <br /> - can you still use the computer with the latest technology. It is his <br /> recommendation to go with a centralized system. <br /> Paul said the Committee will have to see how much they have to spend and <br /> prioritize. <br /> Steve said he is prepared to do a presentation and bring everyone up to <br /> speed on technology issues . SMMA can decide who will represent them. The <br /> Committee would like Manny Tavares to attend . He can bring the latest <br /> floor plans with him - with the new classroom layout as discussed at this <br /> meeting . <br /> Michael Pare should also attend . <br /> * NEXT WEEK'S MEETING.

It is about $400 , 000 off of the goal . <br /> Page 5 of SMMA' s handout identifies some additional cost reductions <br /> suggestions: <br /> 1 . Reduce roof height of the gyms: there will be no impact to activities of <br /> the gym. Nantucket High School is 29 feet. It will be adequate for all <br /> sports events. <br /> The Committee agreed . <br /> 2 . These items were requested from Canteen (food service) . Paul suggested <br /> tabling the discussion because it may effect the central kitchen <br /> possibility . Tom Wren will speak to Steve Bruzanski at Canteen . <br /> 3 . Change fire extinguisher cabinet to painted from stainless steel . Not <br /> worth the $600 . 000 savings because it will become a maintenance problem. <br /> 4.
