-Board workshop meeting scheduled for February 9^th, 2010 (Location to be determined -7:30 pm).  The primary focus for this meeting will be to receive input from the community on the proposed budget cuts.

-Email or contact Board members – all input received by Board members will be added to the feedback link to ensure that all Board members and Administration have access to all input/feedback received.

-Public Comment before any Board meeting – We are happy to hear input at public comment prior to any Board meeting; however, a speaker’s time is limited to no more than 3 minutes and it becomes difficult to hear a significant number of speakers without pushing back Board of Education business and discussion until late into the evening.
