Nominating Committee: Heidi again noted that perhaps this year it
would be better to have the election after the Back to School Night so that
parents could get a chance to meet the nominees. Also, the people voting for this year would
have a vested interest in the voting. Elections
would still be held in the spring each year.
This issue was tabled until the next meeting for discussion, as there
was no quorum.
Facilities Committee: No new report.
Personnel Committee: No new report.
Governance Committee: No new report.
Fundraising Committee: No new report.
Library Committee: No new report.

Report
Kosta advised that the reports to PDE for this year were submitted. The annual report and the budget still need to be submitted. These are finished with the exception of signatures of Board members. Mark and Kosta have looked at a bus for possible purchase. The bus is being inspected, but they had not received any updates.
Heidi noted that the cost of insurance and licensing issues should be investigated prior to actually purchasing. Due to the size of the bus, the expense may be prohibitive.
Kosta provided an update on renovations. The tile flooring has been installed, with the exception of the entrance way. Tile is on order to complete the job. Walls have been painted. Two new spaces have been created in the Big Room. The computers have come in and extra memory and software is on order. There are new computers for teachers. All seventh and eighth graders will have laptops for this school year.
