Bill Petit opened the floor for comments.

David Brown, 8 Tyler Rd. Mr. Brown stated that he was a former Board of Education Member and served on last year’s Steering Committee. He came to the meeting to keep up with what the committee was doing and to offer his assistance.

Kathy Veronesi reviewed the Program Subcommittee Report from the previous Linden St. School Steering Committee. The committee discussed the effect that new projections will have on the program. The Committee agreed that the projections should not effect the program. The Committee will use the program established by the Program Subcommittee.

Becky Tyrell stated that because of Sue Greenbacker’s absence from the meeting, the discussion about the All Day Kindergarten Taskforce will be postponed until the next meeting. The Committee will also hear from the World Language Taskforce at the next meeting.

The Committee discussed timelines. Kathy Binkowski will be getting new projections from the state. Because of proprosed housing plans and a possible increase in projections, the Committee may need to be redirected by the Board of Education to look into additional renovations. The Committee will not establish a timeline until the Board of Education meets and it receives the new projections. The committee may publish information on a monthly basis in the newspapers and make appearances on Nutmeg TV regarding the project once a timeline is established.

The committee agreed in consensus to try to invite a person involved with the Plymouth Schools Referendum to speak at a Committee meeting.

Tom Wazorko will coordinate with Kathy Binkowski to get new projections from the State and Town Planner.

The Committee discussed the Building Committee. A new Building Committee may need to be formed for EDLC. Tom Wazorko will determine when the current application expires.

The Committee discussed meeting dates. The Committee will continue to meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month. The next meeting is scheduled for June 20th at 7:00 p.m.

Ron Paving motioned to adjourn. Jay Steve’s seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
