2.         Middle School Project - Henry Bobek

            Chair Gladstone introduced Mr. Bobek to the committee and gave an overview             of the criteria of the requirements of the RFS/OPM.

            Mr. Bobek came before the committee as a citizen and architect to present his   ideas re the Middle School Project.             

            Mr. McKeon, of Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc., who seven years ago prepared a         plan for the Middle School Project was able to comment and answer any    questions that Mr. Bobek brought up.  The Middle School plans will consider the      addition of an early childhood wing or component and administration wing         or component of the project.

There was a sentiment that a meeting should occur between Mr. McKeon of Kaestle Boos Associates and the School Administration, and other interested parties to discuss and understand the School Administration’s intent regarding the early childhood and administration components, and that the meeting shall be arranged and scheduled by these parties in the near future.  KBA was asked to provide the original power-point presentation describing the original design.
