Jim Brown first thanked Manuy Catton for her offorts in keeping the minutes for soveral of the @ caittee meetings., He alco ce e nded her for her attendance at all ten of the racetings. Jim noted that there is still no official word as to whether Norristown bas acccpted an obligation to serve as a nc.st school' foe Mot'hacton c.tu.lents. He will confer with Dr. ' arner or. ,thic mattiet to see if Morristown's school board can expedite, a dedision. Mothacton's junkt and serdur high school will serve. as a mass care centor for omwNncy ,.orkors. Jim

.noted that he will check into whether this comple:: will a ho bc used as a decontamination ccntcr in the event of an emergency situation.

Results of the buc drivers survey were shared with ttme crosent.

Specific results from this survey are contained in the packat of infor- .

mation which will be sent to all committoo members. Since it was de- .

termined that it will ,requirc 34 buses to evacuate students from the throo elementary buildings and Arcola, a total of 19 drivers stated they

.would be willing to co3nloto ercergency driving asa wnments. It has been determined that,15 additional' buses / drivers will be needed. .Thus, the unmet needs which need to be made known to Mr. Cunnington and to Mr. '

Bigeloware15 buses / drivers.

___ _ Results of the prnliminary surwy of' all district staff oth<,r than bun

. drivers were next examined by the committee. ;A total of 74 staff me.r.brre <

stated that they would be willing to .re:k.in at school beyond regular hehra with students until they could be reicaded to their parents or transportud a to a mass carc center or host school. Houover, of thin numbor, 34 staff members work in the junior or senior high buildinos. Thuts, only 40 who work in one of the three elementar2 buildings or Arcola uciald,in factibe in those locations in an emergency situation. Fcrty adults available for j supervision would result in an adult supervisor-to-student ratio of' ,

approximately 1:46. It is recommended by the committee that such a ratio be literally cut in half. In fact, an additional 40 adults would be needed' for supervision of students from the four buildings located within the EPZ.

This would result' in a student to adult ratio ot* approximately 1:23.

- Specific results of the master list from all buildings will be provided in the packet of information for committec members. A building-by-build- ,

ing breakdown on the first question will also be provided. An a result of the survey of stnff other than bus drivers, the " unmet needs" of the district are 40 additional adults for supervision of students.

Once specific data from the surveys was shared with committec members, Jim also shared many of the narrative comments stated on the survey sheets. The predominant viewpoint is that many staff members who would not see fit to volunteer for time after regular school hours would make such a decision based on the needs of their own families. Jim also noted that the response to both the bus driver and the remaining staff surveys was quite good. The response to each survey was well over 50 per cent of the people working in the district.

It was also noted that the response from the administration building staff was minimal. This may have been due to some confusion as to the designation "name of school in which you work" on the survey form. Jim' stated that now surveys would be sont to them.

Les Carlton said that he would deviso a chdeklist which would simplify the

.rcsponsibilitics of specific building staff membera in an emergency situation necessitated by a problem at the Limerick Power Plant. Mancy Catton ached about questions raised in the survey specifically. Jim stated he would first share the results with Dr. Warner and the other committec memberc.

Ho also stated that he would like to give direct feedback to both bus drivers and other staff metabors in ordor to assure the credibility of the .

survey itself. Specific questions raised by individuals will be addressed personally. The issue of who would be liable legall1 in such an cmergency situation was raised. This question is one of the unansworcd ones to be dealt with at a latcr time. Frank Panaia asked it martial law automatically '

would declared during an evacuation situation. Los Carlton raspondca that this would probably not be the caso, but the National Guard would be called in. Nancy Catton noted that she was under the undcratanding that John Rafferty, who is a member of our committcc and als2 a school board member, has asked for one or two public hearings on the proposed evacuation plan before the school board votos on it. Our district .ill be participating in a second communications drill which will bc co.iducted on November 20.

--- It was actormined by those in attendance that no further meetings were necessary at this tine. Jim stated he would send out committee notes along with survey notes. He will also go through the draft of the plan once an updated one has been secured from Mr. Cunnington and make the neccesary re-visions based on input from the committee. Jim also promised to provide committee members at a later date with a list of "hich11ghts" of changes in the plan. Once the plan itself has been revised, it will be sent to the word processing center for retyping. As soon as " clean copics" are available,

. they will be sont to all committee members for their further input. Jim emphasized that the committee's responsibility was simply to provide re-commendations and that he would be interested in receifing any possibic input or changes frem committee members at this' timo, prier to taking the plan to the school board. Jin was hopeful that the reviacd plan could be sont to the word processino c:2.or in early December with the pl.3 ioinq to the boaul in January. He alec rcitc rated that it would he met heloful to hava emit ta members present when the plan is presented. .% commendations of the exacracnc t ovacuation plannin1 cc:raittee which may not be specificall/ addrcenN in the plan itself, cuch as the necessity of drills will also be noted.
