Form would not Iet me leave off yes or no, but please disregard the "No" I put. Decision about whether the SCSBA facilitates depends on depends on what the November retreat and any others which may or may not take place.

This would not let me refuse to say yes or no. However, I don't know. I felt they had "acceptable answers" which they wished to lead us to. This may be their job but I sometimes felt answers might be more nuanced than they accepted.

Thanks for listing applicable policies next to agenda items. It helps me to learn policy and reinforces our commitment to using and enforcing policy as our primary governing tool. Also, in the future can the policy being recommended be marked with a big red "Recommended " at the top so that we can be sure which one it is.
