It is his expectation that during the Board retreat the School Community Committee will be revamped. It was mentioned that some of the committees meet at times that are inconvenient or impossible for trustees to attend. Trustees Guthals, Trafford and Goodrich will be on the Audit Committee but the committee will have to accommodate their schedules. Staff Development Committee is required by law which discusses plans for in-service training for staff to meet goals. Sandy Mossman and Kathy Aragon will serve on this committee, alternating according to their schedules.

The committees’ recommendation will be presented to the Board at the next regular meeting. The Chair would like something written stating that there is no tax money being used for these projects, identify energy savings, capital items to result from those savings. Budget projections will be discussed in a work session, tentatively scheduled for Monday, July 9th. Mr. Copps stated that we still don’t know for sure the amount of money we will receive from the state. There will be no Budgeting For Results Committee meeting in July.
