Dr. DeMoura explained that he is not available to do that <br /> every day. There was a question asked of Dr. DeMoura if any of the <br /> new charter schools or parochial schools would impact the projected <br /> enrollments for Mashpee? Dr. DeMoura indicated that the new <br /> schools should not make any impact to change enrollments <br /> drastically. Mr. Goggin asked how many students were enrolled in <br /> Cape Cod Tech? Dr. DeMoura indicated that they were down to 54. <br /> He noted that the School Department was projecting approximately <br /> 300 kids for Falmouth High School next year. Mr. Goggin asked <br /> about custodial subs. Dr. DeMoura stated that these were college <br /> students who mainly did custodial type work in the summer. <br /> Carole Dunivan stated that she and the School Committee would not <br /> sit there and go lane by line with the Finance Committee. She <br /> insisted that Dr. DeMoura knows better than anyone what the figures <br /> should be. <br /> Mr. Goggin asked about kindergarten supplies and special education <br /> costs. Dr. DeMoura responded that in the past kindergarten <br /> supplies always fell under elementary level and they were broken <br /> out this year. He also mentioned that the School Department was <br /> expecting one extra special needs student next year. He stated <br /> that there is a lot of tutoring going on. Ms. Gibbs stated that <br /> the Town of Mashpee is responsible for special needs students from <br /> the age of 3 to 22. It is not just handicapped children, but <br /> children with all types of behavioral problems. Dr. DeMoura <br /> mentioned that they were expecting a small increase of 4 children <br /> in the pre-first level. <br /> Ms. King asked why there was such an increase in the math program. <br /> Dr. DeMoura responded that the Department is looking at new <br /> materials. He believed that the numbers may be a little high, but <br /> are necessary. Ms. Gibbs stated that children are just not <br /> prepared in math and science when they get to Falmouth High School . <br /> Ms. King asked why this was not a big concern in FY94? Dr. DeMoura <br /> indicated that supplies had to be reduced drastically. Ms. King <br /> then suggested that he should prioritize his requests. Mr. Goggin <br /> asked if Dr. DeMoura felt he would live within the budget through <br /> the end of the fiscal year? Dr. DeMoura stated that they were <br /> doing their best. <br /> Mr. Goggin asked what becomes of students after graduating Falmouth <br /> High School? He asked if there were statistics as to what <br /> colleges/universities they attend, whether it is academic or sports <br />
