The board will examine short and long term financial projections to ensure long term financial stability.
At the next board meetings, the board will establish criteria for the goals, determine timelines, and develop indicators. Goal 1 will be discussed in July. Goal 2 will be discussed in August. Administrator Polk's goals will be presented to evaluation committee in September.
