7.3. Superintendent's Report
Discussion:
At the end of the legislative session, there were not many bills that had a major impact on our district. The reading bill did not pass, nor did the proposed two-percent cap on school budgets. Dr. Mumm told the board that a new law has been passed that all schools need to attend the joint public hearing, even if they are not on the "pink postcard" list. The hearing will now probably take place in July instead of September, so the budgeting timeline will move up.
