1.  2022-23 Calendar:  See draft #3.  I will put this calendar recommendation on the agenda for board approval on March 14th.
2.  2022 STRAT Plan Update:  Thank you for your support of the staff/board "Confidence" Survey.  This process was a little cumbersome/confusing.  Kady has been in contact with ThoughtExcange tech support to see if this can be streamlined and if we can see those items with 2 or more items identified as not included in the plan.  As of now, we do not see any changes to our 2022 plan for board approval.  See strategic plan final draft.
3.  2021 STRAT Plan Final update for Website:  On the district website, we need to make any final changes to the 2021 report.  Dr. Gibbons will create the 2022 website once it is adopted by the board on Monday.
