Dr. Leggett told the board that he would like to start having cards to be filled out by individuals who wish to put an item on the agenda for discussion. The meetings would be following the way our Policy Manual says that meetings should be conducted. The red cards would be putting something on the agenda and the blue cards would be for speaking at meetings.
Dr. Brady gave his Superintendent Report. He told the board that Ms. Maris McCroy, General Counsel, Louisiana Ethics Board, called and said that she had inspected the documents and saw no violation or possible future violations that could arise on having Robert Williams, Sonny Jackson, and Rogers Pope in assisting us for preparation of the 2003 - 2004 school year.
