EASTHAM SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
AGENDA

I. CALL TO ORDER/AGENDA CHANGES
II. CITIZENS SPEAK
III. PRIORITY BUSINESS
A. Administrators’ Reports
Mrs. Helman’s report will be distributed at the meeting and she will report on the opening of school.
B. Student Services Presentation
This month, Dr. Caretti will review her responsibilities.
C. FY 09 Budget
The Finance Committee has asked to participate in the development of next year’s budget at the earliest possible time, or, at least, earlier than has been the case in the past. This presents the awkward possibility that the Finance Committee will know more about the budget than the School Committee does, and sooner. I suggest the Committee invite Finance Committee members to the October meeting to ensure that all parties understand whatever agreement is reached.
D. Consider Town’s Foundation Reserve Award
As mentioned last month, the Town has received a $48,000 Foundation Reserve award from the Department of Education. This is unrestricted state aid and may be used for any municipal purpose (not restricted to the school department, notwithstanding the source of the funds). Mr. Sheptyck has requested that the Committee consider whether it wishes to make a request regarding the purpose for which these funds might be used.
E. Nickerson Scholarship
Members may wish to discuss progress on establishing this fund.
