Board discussion included different points of view.  Concern was expressed about the termination clause and the need for secretarial support.

Board members all agreed that Superintendent Davis should be recognized and rewarded for his accomplishments.  The main topic of the discussion was over what would be the appropriate amount of the salary adjustment.

The public hearing was opened by the Chair.  With no one present to speak to the item, the public hearing was closed.

Dr. D'Agata wished the Board well and urged the Board to continue with its work in policy review and development.  

Board members commented on recent school events they attended.

Mrs. Bolla requested a workshop be scheduled in January to discuss safety and security costs and options for next year, and a plan for millage revenues.
