Espindle on board

Tonite’s meeting of the School Committee finalized and signed a contract to bring on Elaine Espindle as Interim Superintendent starting Mar 4th extending through the end of June. The contract allows for a reasonable daily pay scale, with a maximum amount that she can make being about 30,000, and the town not responsible for benefits, time off, or taxes.

There was also a considerable discussion on the transportation deficit in next year’s budget that will require either reducing the bussing by 2 busses or increasing bus fees (or some combination of these).

Dr McNamara made the point that the current deficit for this year has still not been resolved.

Another discussion regarding the Parker Elementary School seemed to settle on keeping the school open for now. Most of this was due to a prediction by Linda Trouville that about 300 new homes were currently planned for construction in the near future… (more investigation is needed here).

    Jim O’Loughlin tonite congratulated the School Board on bringing back Espindle, and asked the Manager to meet with her when she comes on board and provide whatever support the town side can make to support the schools.

    Malliaros repeated the props.

    It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office. — H. L. Mencken
