Mr. Teeboom
The particular wording says that anything action is taken on...
President McCarthy
No, it does not. If you would like | will look it up for you and send you a copy of it. It does not allow comment
on that resolution or on the minutes of the meetings at this public comment period. If you wish | will call upon
you in the second public comment period and you can speak to it then.
Mr. Teeboom
I'll look at it again.
Let me talk about attendance in the Nashua School District. It has steadily declined. Since 2001/2002 it has
declined by 17% or by 218 students. The biggest decline in the school district is in the elementary and middle
schools, K-8 which represents a 1,918 student drop since 2001, that’s 17% so if you really want to save some
money why not close a school.
President McCarthy
Again, that’s not related to the teacher’s contract.
Mr. Teeboom
It affects the cost of the school department.
President McCarthy
It is not related to the piece of legislation that’s on the agenda.
Mr. Teeboom
Okay, I'll conclude by saying you should look at the significant cost savings other than looking at percentages
changes in the contract. This contract represents just percentages. The school department always
complained about not having enough money and one place they ought to start looking at is closing an
elementary school for a significantly large savings.
