1. Mr. Patrick Rice, President of IASB will be attending this meeting. Mr. Miller introduced Mr. Rice who made a PowerPoint presentation about the workshops available to local boards of education through IASB. Since Cairo is currently going through the process of hiring a new superintendent, Mr. Rice highly recommended workshops on "Goal Setting" and "Evaluation" (BOE self-evaluation, as well evaluation of the superintendent.)

2. Presentation by the School Board - There was some initial confusion, but Mr. Miller and Mr. Burris exited the room for a few minutes, returning with a plaque which they handed to BOE President Artie McBride...who in turn made the presentation of the plaque "for 12 years service on the Board of Education" to former BOE Member Vernon Stubblefield.
