III. Approve Minutes of Previous Meeting: November 7, 2016: Ray moves to approve and A.J. seconds, approved unanimously.
IV. Community Engagement/Public Comment: We discuss Jenn Iannantuoni’s email regarding Killington SB consideration of a side by side under Act 46. Her counter proposal was to have Pittsfield give up school choice to join KES and send secondary students to Woodstock. At this time the Pittsfield School Board will take no action on the email as we continue to discuss options under Act 46 for presentation at Town Meeting.
V. Action/Discussion Items
1. New Business:

• FY18 Budget: Time spent reviewing tuition list and making adjustments to estimates. We think there will be 33 elementary and 29 secondary students, total of 62, including pre-K students. This is a decrease from last year’s estimate of 73 and from FY 15’s 80 students.
• Payment for School Board: Ray moves to approve payment and A.J. seconds and approved unanimously.
• WCSU Tuition Agreement: reviewed, they request Board Chair sign it so we table until next meeting. A.J. reviews and notes that because we are now in the WCSU and they do our SPED work, our prior concern about billing is moot and the agreement is ok to sign as is.
