8.A. Central Office Relocation
Speaker(s):
Mr. Kevin Farr and Mr. Colin McNamara
Rationale:
After the hearing at town council and the appropriate waiting period the work began in earnest at the site of the new central office on Westfield Ave.  Painting is almost complete and the electrical is wrapping up.  The carpets and furniture will be next along with the phones and I.T. construction.  I believe that we are on track for the central office to move to that facility by the middle of January with the PPS folks a couple of weeks thereafter.  I will be working closely with Mr. Mailhot and Brian O'Connell as well as input from PPS moving forward.

Thanks again to the Board and Town Council for supporting this move.

Speaker(s):
Mr. Kevin Farr
Rationale:
It is my belief that a strong and collaborative school governance council would be beneficial at any school in our district.  I have been to two meetings at the high school.   Special thanks to Alexis Rich for providing the materials from the CABE/CAPSS conference to assist our School Governance Councils moving forward.

These materials are provided by Shipman and Goodwin, who also happen to be our attorneys.

In the coming weeks I will also be attending the School Governance Council at KMS.
