How can new employee's be hired <br /> without Town Meeting approving their benefits asked Selectman Caffyn? <br /> Selectman Caffyn made reference to the Town bylaw, 5-33 Appropriation <br /> of Fringe Benefits for All New Employee's. This matter should have <br /> legally <br /> been placed on the May Town Meeting warrant for appropriation, and <br /> it should have been a part of the discussions relative to the cost of <br /> educating our students indicated Selectman Caffyn. <br /> It was noted that 21 new employee's, 19 full-time, and 2 part-time <br /> are projected for the FY98 School budget. <br /> It is the consensus of the Board to obtain a copy of the FY99 School <br />
