Later in the meeting it was announced that there was a second donation of $100,000 to create a perpetual charity donation scholarship for a Gardner High School student applying for a degree in Marine Engineering or Civil Engineering.
Wasted Electricity: School Committee member Robert Swartz reported that every Sunday he makes a “tour of the district just to make sure all the buildings are there. And on the Gardner Elementary School, lights continue to burn on all three floors, on the connecting tunnels on the north side of the building…” He reported on the other buildings as well and said Mr. Anderson is looking in to the problem.
Various policies were discussed for first or second reading. The Field Trip request for the Gardner High School Band and Chorus to go to Florida from November 29th to December 4th was approved. Various academic progress items were discussed.
