In his report, Dr. Gangel also noted that school enrollment, at the ten day point (Sept. 10) is up to 1,040, as compared to the figure of 1,020 used in budget forecasts. He said that it is typical for enrollment to increase through the fall, and that the March enrollment figure (used in reporting to the state) should be even greater, entitling RCPS to additional state funds, should that money be available.
Dr. Gangel provided an update on the status of school maintenance projects. He told the Board that the new RCES water tanks were awaiting a three day period during which testing could be performed and results okayed by the Health Department; that final piping is being done on the new RCIIS fuel oil tanks; and that three of five air conditioning units have been installed at RCHS.
Dr. Gangel spoke to the Board on the problems in the technology area in the schools. He said that the increasing complexity of the school’s computer network has dictated that more time be spent on maintaining the infrastructure, allowing less time for support of classroom computing needs. He suggested that additional personnel would be required to support those needs, and said that he would be investigating means of obtaining that support.
