| of BHHS boys' and girls'
locker rooms. Particular attention was given to matters of equity,
the adequacy of locker count for expected enrollment, and the
use of team locker rooms and coaches' facilities. As in the
work session of 7/17, decisions on these matters were deferred
to the business meeting which followed.
The placement of portable classrooms at CH and WA was also
discussed, with the superintendent sharing the news that as
of late July there was concern about completing the work in
time for the opening of school. Discussion centered on efforts
to expedite progress, and possible backup plans for the opening
weeks of school. The long delay in receiving State Education
Department approval, coupled with other factors, accounted
for progress that was slower than hoped. The superintendent
and assistant superintendent promised updates as August unfolds.
BUSINESS AGENDA
In a very brief business meeting, only two actions were taken.
First, the locker room decisions recommended by the consultants
and the administrators were accepted by the Board with two
stipulations for review of detail. In addition, the Board
added an Executive Session for 8/14, at 7:30 p.m. to consider
personnel and legal matters. An Executive Session was also
held at the conclusion of the 7/31 public meeting.
