New Business
- Payment Orders: TSA payment order to be done next month.
Old Business:
- Review and Approve Checkbook Reconciliation.
- Update on Act 46 Process: Kris did not get to meet the new SU yet to discuss our single side by side proposal and will follow up on that in then next week or two. We discuss how we’d need to have the following districts allow us to be a single side by side vote along with us to allow us to be a single side by side: Woodstock, Pomfret, Bridgewater, Reading, Plymouth, and Killington. We will try to get our proposal on the WCSU Board agenda and Kris will meet with the Superintendent by then too if possible. Our plan would be to have a Town School District Meeting in October to be able to submit the proposal to the SBE by November.
