3. Action/Discussion Items
□ New Business:

o Approve Warning for Annual Meeting

Kris reported that we do not have a budget at this time due to ongoing confusion/inaccuracies in WCSU’s accounting for Pittsfield students.  In addition Kris reports that tax rate information was also not clearly reasonable and she has asked Richard at the SU to take time to meet with her to confirm the numbers and arrive at justifiable budget. At this time we cannot do an accurate budget or report or warning.
