Ms. Belter provided an overview and background on the issue of
the pending redrawing of school boundaries that may affect our community. She made clear that no decisions had yet been
made and that public hearings would be held.
She answers questions from Board members and the general attendees. The Board and all attendees appreciated her
taking the time to discuss the issues with us.
There were
several announcements from Board Members.

and an explanation to support the need for its reestablishment. He emphasized that it will be a separate
entity from the Board and asked for 4 volunteers from the Community to join him
and Dave Wilson as ARC members. The
volunteers were Al Brooks, Ann Cory, Richard Herald, and Diane Neustrand. Harry
concluded his presentation by distributing copies of the ARC Charter and ARC
project approval form.
