Continuing through the breakdown of the BOE Agenda we started yesterday…
In addition to the Bond questions and Policy revisions we already covered, the agenda for tonight’s meeting includes new student clubs, staff changes, donations, and financial approvals. It will also feature reports and acknowledgements.
Being that it took 5 million years to work on yesterdays article, I’m going to shoot for a more efficient way of presenting everything.
