Executive Director shared that he has meet with the COOP staff to do some strategic planning for COOP.  He shared the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for growth, and threats of the COOP.  They team has created strategies to define the group.  Strategies:  maximize custmer base, communicate benefits to relevant organizations, communicate benefits using trditional and social media, regularly survey customers to gather feedback.  These strategies have not been finalized.  The team will be looking at municipalities.  We have to do better marketing.  Get list to each ESU of areas they can reach out to so that the ESUs can talk to help communicate more.

        Discussion: 
Curt and Jason Bromm were present to give a legislative update.  Going into the session, state revenue is trending upwards.  We are in the second year of the biennium budget.  They could possibly divert to properrty tax relief.  This might be a short term fix but they want to do a structural fix for a more permanent solutions.  Continued issues with the prison system so possible to put money towards fixing this solution.  Headed into an election year, legislature tend to test the waters for votes.  People will hold them accountable.  There are some new people that will be running and also good senators that will re-run.  Discipline will be brought up again this session.  This session will be posturing for redistricting, mechanics will be set up during this session.  Discussion on possible redistricting solutions.  Three hearings have already hapened that might affect the ESUs. (ESU Study, Lottery Funds/DL, Discipline?) Soe Senators are running for other offices.  There will be a request for some data on distance learning for schools.  Discussion regarding on the decrease in incentives, can we suggest language for great opportunity to access those dollars.
