TRANSITION ACCOUNT 2008
On July 1st, the Superintendent requested a transition account be established—to receiving funds, goods, or services needed by the schools for this transition year.
As needs are identified, they will be listed. The school committee is setting up an oversight system to assure all funds received are deposited, used, and accounted for.

Hot Lunches for one group of students this summer |
A change of location resulted in one group of teens having only cold lunches this summer; a teacher requested something more substantial |
$ 300.00 |

Replacement carpets at Newton and Federal Street |
During a walk-through of these buildings, quite a few classroom carpets were in dire need of replacement |
$50,000 |
The city is covering these costs and has put the carpet out to bid. The lower the cost, the more rooms with soiled and ripped carpets can be replaced |
Roof and cornice repairs at Federal Street |
This roof has leaks and one seam where water is eroding framing. A stone cornice has separated from the building and is a hazard. |
$31,000 |
The city is covering these costs and plans to have the work completed by September. |

A custodian has requested shoulder vacuums for more efficient classroom cleaning. These are ergonomically better and the district should use vacuums with HEPA filters.* http://custodian.info/backpackvac.html |
Approx. $300 - $700 |
