Page 3 superintendent stated that State funding would be cancelled. Ms. King disagreed and stated that State funding would be delayed, but not cancelled. Dr. DeMoura said that it would not be a good situation if Mashpee had to house ninth graders without the high school. Chairman Mills mentioned that Town Counsel had been contacted regarding what could be done if the school did not open on time. Alec Watt asked if there would be penalties charged the architects if the school was not completed on time? He wanted to know if there were any such clauses in the contract? Dr. DeMoura felt that the school would be complete by July. Mr. Golub felt another meeting sometime soon would be helpful to discuss the high school budget. Ms. Mills felt that the high school principal should also be included in that discussion. In regard to costs per grade she asked if Dr. DeMoura was projecting $1,7 million for one grade? He answered yes according to his draft and early projections. Mr. Golub felt that a good approach would be to isolate items that are an absolute must and items that are variables to discuss. Ms. Mills stated that certain staff members would be expensive early on due to their being department heads. Mr. Goggin asked what the initial expense vs. ongoing costs would be? There was a question regarding up and coming contract negotiations. It was asked whether or not a Finance Committee member could attend negotiations? Chairman Mills did not see anything wrong with this. Ms. King stated that they would vote at the next meeting to nominate a Finance Committee member to attend contract negotiations as an advisor only. Dr. DeMoura stated that he would like to wait until after the October Town Meeting to meet again. This was acceptable to all in attendance. The meeting adjourned at 8:30PM. The next scheduled meeting is on Tuesday, September 5, 1995 at 7:OOPM. Minutes respectfully submitted by Jean M. Mooney, Board Secretary.
