The market was very receptive of this issue due to the district's ability to attain an A+ rating with Fitch which was due, in a large part, to the district's fiscal responsibility. The $1.6 million in project funds will be used through our Capital Outlay to assist our technology infrastructure.
Presentations from the Audience (None) Superintendent Requests46. Announcement Minutes: Mr. Wortham thanked his staff for the excellent work on allocations for 2010-2011.

School Board's Requests47. Comments Minutes: Mr. Farrell will be at the "23rd Annual Day in the Legislature" March 24-26, 2010 in Tallahassee.
Mrs. Studdard reminded everyone about the Science Fair, February 23rd at the Fair Grounds. She also inquired about the "fly-over" being constructed at the Branan Field intersection at OakLeaf High School. Jim Connell provided information.
Mrs. Vallencourt asked if the Class Size Amendment would be back on the ballot in November and whether or not our legislators would support the school average ratio rather than class by class.
Mr. Wortham advised that legislators are developing a joint resolution in support of the school average ratio and are working with statutory language to put in abeyance the class by class requirement until the November 2nd general election when voters will determine if the constitutional amendment will be amended. Mr. Wortham suggests that without a modification to the current requirement the state's budget will be seriously challenged.
Mrs. Graham commented on the use of security cameras in the schools. Mr. Elliott will provided a report on cost/use of security cameras.
