JM School IT had a four year plan FY15 is the 3 year. 1 project was HS wireless 2 year
was Middle School and Elementary wireless. This projects if for internet capacity. Do we
want to centralize or de-centralize? Looking to do what is best for the town. When you
decentralize you are increasing hardware and manager load. I think we will go with
centralize. Final year is maintaining.
JM We talked about projects at last meeting. Franklin School we waited on tank removal so
we could do both removal and paving together.
Looking for $149,263 for district wide carpet replacement
AL Why do we have carpets?
JM Elementary schools prefer carpets. We are using carpet tiles which are easier to maintain
and replace if worn.

hot water tanks, and masonry and toilet room renovations.
