"Minutes":

All BOE members were present for this meeting. (Vernon Stubblefield left at 9 p.m. during closed session.)

There were three different presentations during "Examples of Excellent", but the main event was by several 3rd Grade students and their teacher, Melissa Hawkins. They demonstrated their use of iPads in the classroom, involving a quiz game called Kahoot.

No members of the public or employees asked to address the BOE.

Once again, the "Consent Agenda" was approved without question or discussion.
