Dr. Lisa Fletcher will recommend changes to the March and April meeting calendars:

March

The board of education and the board of commissioners are tentatively scheduled to meet in joint session on Monday, March 4, at 4:00 p.m. at the county administrative building. This would conflict with the board’s scheduled business meeting on March 4. Therefore, Dr. Fletcher will recommend that the board cancel its March 4 business meeting and hold one meeting as scheduled on March 18. The March 18 meeting would be designated as a business meeting and work session. A special called meeting could be scheduled if needed.

April

The week of March 25–29 is spring break, and Monday, April 1 is an annual leave day for staff. No meeting is currently scheduled for the week of April 1-5 as staff will not be available to prepare an agenda packet. There are five Mondays in April. The board may consider meeting on April 8 and April 22; however, this could conflict with county commissioner meetings. Dr. Fletcher will recommend that the board hold one meeting as scheduled on April 15. The April 15 meeting would be designated as a business meeting and work session. A special called meeting could be scheduled if needed.

A motion would be in order to approve the superintendent’s recommendation to cancel the March 4, 2024 business meeting and designate the March 18 and April 15, 2024 meetings as business meeting/work sessions.
