• Public Commenter Ron Makela observed that the Central Office situation has improved markedly since July. "Things are going on in a very positive way," he added, and said that Superintendent Williams was responsible.

• The Board discussed revised policies on gifts, holidays/annual leave, the sick leave bank, and a package of policy revisions made as a result of VSBA and legislative changes. The holidays/annual leave and sick leave bank policies were adopted and the others tabled.

• Board member Rosa Crocker reported that two South African visitors, one an elementary school principal and the other a minister, in the U. S. as part of a leadership training course, spent a day at the elementary school and were effusive in their praise for the atmosphere, resources, level of student attention, and the community involvement apparent at RCES. She said that the visit went so well that some sort of project or exchange between RCES and the South African principal's school would be investigated.
