The Superintendent will be presenting his proposed budget to the budget committee as well as the Board.  I am assuming the documents will be available at least 24 hours in advance on the internet.  Watch for them.

Voter Pamphlet

I submitted my comments for the Official Voters Pamphlet yesterday.  I'll hold off including them here until after the submission deadline, March 21.  I must say, they count words differently at the County Clerk's office.  I would have been able to have included several thoughts I omitted, due to the word count the computer gave me.  Hopefully, the voters will excuse the brevity.  I was especially appreciative of those who allowed me to use their names as endorsements.  That is another complicated process, but I can appreciate why the procedure is this way.  It is designed to make certain any endorsements are legitimate.

I submitted my statement early because I am anticipating getting a call about our daughter having a baby and I'll be heading for Montana!  I didn't want to have any problems getting my thoughts into the Pamphlet.
