Minutes: 

Board member Kathy Kleinlein stated that school was starting Monday, August 24.  There will be buses on the road and children at bus stops so she was reminding everyone to be extra cautious as the children get back to school.

Board Vice Chair Shirley Brown stated that it was announced earlier an increase in the number of students on free and reduced lunch.  This is also putting a strain on the number of students who have to be prepared for school next week with backpacks and supplies.  Through the Education Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, AT & T and some other private organizations, a lot of supplies have already been collected.  If anyone would like to contribute at one of those locations or you can bring to the Education Foundation at the Landings or give it to one of the principals at the schools.  It is really helpful and we appreciate all the help that the community gives to our schools and students.
