program going on already at one of the schools. There has been some concern
about student privacy based on an incident that occurred somewhere else.
Julie mentioned that the
pay-on-line program for registration has gone through and this will impact the number
of parents coming to registration this

Nuckolls about getting our name on the list of things parents can pre-pay for
when they resister on-line.
