The fitness center is working out well as well as the cafeteria/library. it is a smaller space for each but is working well for the students. Parking has been a challenge as faculty and students try to acclimate themselves to the design. Principal Clark has asked all to arrive early and not be in a rush so there aren't any accidents and everyone is safe on the active construction site. He added that the subcommittee is in the works of developing a focus group for cross-curricular—trying to have as many departments represented to review the interior finishes and aesthetics of the furniture,the fixtures and equipment that will be apart of the new school. Ms. Tringale said it was important to try and tie the groups together so there is a theme created throughout the school. Mr. Capurso noted that there are weekly construction meetings,every Thursday morning,on site in the construction trailer. The transition to the modular units has not seem to affect the students and hears feedback of a positive learning atmosphere. He also said that Principal Clark and the two vice-principals are out in the parking lots each morning greeting students and there is a good separation between the students and the construction site. Mr. Capurso said that the Steve Myers from Brait is the superintendent and is on-site each day and he is very responsive to any requests the school staff has day or night. Also,some unexpected conditions came up as asbestos containing materials were found. The staff at Flansburgh and Brait came up with a plan to remove the materials at a reasonable cost. 2 1 P a g e Nauset School Building Committee April 12,2023 Chair Levasseur reported that it had been requested to try and save some of the hardwood floor in the gymnasium along with the center medallion,but it was all anchored to the concrete below and could not be separated and had to demolished.

The work came to within 20' of her property line. A type of screen fencing is being discussed to create a barrier for her. A proposed solution should be ready for next the meeting. Principal Clark explained posters have been put up all over campus to remind students to pay attention where they are walking and move slow and safe because the campus is an active construction side.
