Discussion:

There has been some misinformation in the community about the school's finances. Ms Simpson outlined the false statements and shared the correct information. There were no letters sent to businesses abou the school district not being able to pay their bills. Science underwent a curriculum revision and we did not have time to do a supplemental materials search so it was postponed until September 24th with our consultant, materials will be purchased at that time. The cameras in the kitchen are working find and the side door by the kitchen did not have its magnetic plate removed to all 24/7 access. As always Ms Simpson encouraged community members to call her directly if they feel there is a problem or need a question answered.
