The mayor asks why we have a security guard at DAB
Monfredo asks if we could cut the principal mentoring account (as there's only one new principal)
And then he withdraws it when challenged by Boone
Biancheria asks for the average principal salary..."at $100,000, we're asking if they're prepared to be principals?"
She asks what the principal mentors do
The mayor says he'd like an answer to that; he's concerned that we don't have enough people doing it.

Motion from Novick to cut the security guard at the administration building
Mayor O'Brien is more than happy to have a clerical position at the door, greeting people and answering the phone: asks for a recommendation to reprogram for a different person who provides a reasonable level of customer service.
Foley agrees with O'Brien, suggest that they be bilingual.
Mayor O'Brien asks he can have a report on the contract.
Biancheria asks if fewer people will be going to DAB if we are registering K-12 at the Parent Information Center. The answer is no.
Allen says that all contracts are subject to appropriation, by state law, so says that if School Committee were to cut the account now, thus not fully funding the account, the contract could be appropriately altered (that's paraphrasing).
$26,000 moved out of this account and into clerical.
