As Denny has communicated with each of us, he has family plans for June 10 through June 16. He will return to the office on June 17. Please let me know if you have comments or questions. I have asked him to think about and to identify and inform the board of who is in charge while he is on vacation. He can tell us on Monday evening. For transparency and communication purposes, I am asking that we formally approve this motion. • Levy Discussion and Directive for Finance Committee. As discussed at the Special Meeting held on May 27, members were to send to me suggested ideas that would be used to create a board directive to the members of the Finance Committee in relation to our upcoming school levies. • Joint Meeting with Local and State Officials. To advance partnerships and working relationships with our local and state officials, the Board should schedule a meeting with City Council, County Commission, Township Trustees, and our state and federal representatives. Now is the time for us to meet. I ask that each of you share with me three dates in June, four dates in July, four dates August, and three dates in September that you will be willing to hold on your calendar. Please consider both day and evening times that you would be available. From these dates, these meetings will be scheduled and meetings with groups finalized.
