CAT Tracks for June 6, 2016
SPECIAL BOE MEETINGS...'MINUTES'

The Cairo Board of Education held Special Meetings on Tuesday, May 31st and Monday, June 6th, both at 6 p.m.

The notices and agendas for the two meetings follow along with 'minutes' for both.




"Minutes" of the May 31st Special Meeting:

1. The meeting was called to order at 6 p.m. All members were present. (Superintendent Andrea Evers was not in attendance. Rumor has it that she was taking some vacation time and will be present for the next meeting scheduled for Monday, June 6th.)

2. No member of the audience (Madam CAT President and I) asked to be recognized to address the BOE.

3. A motion was made and seconded to approve the consent agenda. The motion passed.

4. The BOE voted to enter Closed Session at 6:05 p.m.

Before the meeting began, BOE President Artie McBride informed Madam CAT President that there would be no motions or actions by the BOE following Closed Session.

So, we exited the meeting...

...and have no idea when the BOE will adjourn.
