• Mr. Merrill addressed bus driver salaries and the claim of "poverty"
• Mr. Hendrick - addressed administrator promotions and Classroom First plan
• Mr. Broskie - addressed promotions and Exit Questionnaire results (salaries only marked 7 of 190 times as reason leaving - number one reason was relocation)
• Dr. Legutko - made positive comments about moving forward on the ERP; she continues to work towards improving the district's financial condition
