It takes about 90 days to develop the <br /> application, for the investigation to go on. <br /> Judy asked if the permitting would hold up the overall project? <br /> Mr. Solien said the investigation should begin as soon as <br /> possible. <br /> Ms. Mills asked how many high schools they have built? <br /> Mr. Frenette said 10 in the last 7-8 years. Their experience is <br /> current; They are trying to be leaders in this field. Perkins <br /> and Will have built over 100. <br /> Carol Jacobson wanted to follow up on the Sept. 1996 opening <br /> date.

The burden is on the town of <br /> Mashpee ! ! <br /> Ms. Jacobson said barring absolute completion, is it possible to <br /> finish the core and 1 wing to house the students we need to? <br /> Mr. Frenette said absolutely. You could run the high school <br /> without the pool or the theater while they are being finished. <br /> Mr. Dinizio asked if the overall cost of the project will be more <br /> working that way? <br /> Mr. Frenette said the cost will be more , with the rate of <br /> inflation going up. <br /> Nancy Caffyn said Mashpee does not have a teaching staff to <br /> review the plans. In the tours of other high schools, there were <br /> many problems because the staff did not review the plan. How do <br /> they propose we handle that? <br /> Mr. Frenette explained a similar situation he had when designing <br /> a high school for the arts, 5 years ago. He suggested bring on <br /> surrogate teachers, advocates to act as your consultants. You <br /> may have to use some specialty consultants. <br /> COMMITTEE DISCUSSION <br /> The interview for The Design Partnership of Cambridge is re- <br /> scheduled for Feb 8th at 6:00 p.m They had a scheduling conflict <br /> so the Selectmen directed this Committee to re-schedule their <br /> interview. <br /> Paul Griffin said he does not have a problem interviewing them <br /> but this Committee made a motion and now the Selectmen are <br /> telling us what to do.
