Financial Report

Business Manager Patsy Dunning reported the budget status. 

Day Care

Mrs. Fox reported to the Board about the class she attended with Wendy O’Neil on the requirements for licensing a childcare center.   The Federated Church will not pass the fire code and it is not feasible to try to fix the problems.  We are trying to find a new site that will be big enough.  May have more information soon on some DSHS money.  Exits are the problem.  We can’t meet the criteria for the exits.

There being no further business the meeting was recessed at 7:30 p.m.
