RFFs:
·
Ms. Frietsch requested $680.00 to cover expenses
for community outings for her CI program.
This is a little more than she requested last year, but she has a couple
more students this year. She stated that
they are trying to do some fundraising as well.
She has not spoken to Dr. Nuckolls yet regarding getting some money from
the school. After discussion it was
agreed to have her speak to Dr Nuckolls first.
Motion was made, seconded and approved to provide $500.00. This motion was amended, seconded and
approved to pay up to the full $680.00 depending on what amount the school may
provide. Anne will let Ms. Frietsch know
of our decision.
