Dear Mr, Charles:
At its meeting of November 26, 1985, the Agawam School Committee
unanimously voted to accept the Professional Development Grant
under the provisions of Sec. 13 of Chapter 188 of the Acts of 1985.
The amount of the grant is $180,028 in FY 186 and $124,625 in FY '87.
The grant will be distributed on February 15, 1986, August 15, 1986,
February 15, 1987, and August 18, 1987.
The allocation of funds will be determined according to an agreement
negotiated by the school committee and the Agawam Education Associa-
tion pursuant to G.L. Chapter 150E. This agreement is not part of,
nor does it affect in any way, the basic salary negotiated by the
school committee and the Agawam Education Association.
There is no fiscal liability on the part of the school committee or
the town since all of the funds will be provided by the state. T
would appreciate it if.you would put this item on the town council
agenda for the first meeting in January, 1986. I have enclosed a
draft motion as suggested by the commissioner of education.
Sincerely,
1
