Another date will be set in November for a two to three hour session. Mr. Hudetz stated that in the past the Board has used the MTSBA evaluation tool. There needs to be a Committee on Committees meeting to look at the charge of the Budgeting For Results Committee Trustee Guthals expressed concern that items of substance are being listed under the consent agenda. Trustee Bryan asked about new information on the budget. The Superintendent stated that they are waiting until the 15th for the Governor’s budget proposal. Ms. Bryan asked that the draft budget process be attached to the retreat minutes under consent. Mr. Hudetz stated that the bond counsel has asked for a meeting with the Board about December 13th. Trustee Guthals stated that he believes the ability to make any decisions about the bonds has been given to the Board Chair, so a meeting wouldn’t be necessary. Since the bond counsel requested this meeting, Mr. Hudetz will ask them. A meeting will be arranged for the Strategic Planning Committee for December 8 or 9 to introduce new Board members and the Superintendent. It will not be necessary to have MTSBA present for this meeting. Mr. Hudetz stated that there is a meeting regarding the procedure on board committees set for November 11th. Ms. Aragon asked if it would be possible to do this business in the Policy Review Committee. Any recommendation would have to go through the Policy Review Committee. This meeting will be November 9th from 11:30-12:30 to discuss language on Budgeting For Results and Planning and Development Committees. The retreat will be held the week of November 15th, possibly Thursday, November 18th.
