Prior to agenda review, there was brief discussion about the time and day of future Review Workshops due to some conflicts.  Consensus was to keep the meetings as is, but to move the start time 30 minutes earlier to 9:00 a.m.   Concern was expressed about the Student Showcase held at 5:45 prior to the board meeting, and the distractions with citizens walking in and talking.  Signs will be posted on the doors at future meetings.  SEDNET will showcase their program at the May meeting instead of a School Showcase.
