Executive Director reviewed his Budget Overview.  He shared some concerns that he has regarding Rule 84, is it time to start reviewing this rule?  He also gave the definition for Core Services and do we need to review and refine this definition.  Do we restructure around state-wide initiatives?  How long will these statewide initiative be around?  He also reviewed the components of the MOU with NDE (six areas are covered in the MOU) and MSA with ESUs.  The Executive Director also discussed how the Innovative Grant plays into the work we do with NDE and ESUs.  He also discussed the budget shortfall that is currently impacting budget including property taxes.  The Committee asked that he continues to add more statistics to the overview in case we need to adjust our budget in the future.  Possibility of doing a school needs assessment to see where needs of schools reside.
