)
Rationale:
During last year's March board meeting, the board decided to delay revising the annual agenda in the event new members were sitting on the board in the near future. Attached is the current annual agenda; the dates appearing in read indicate when the board voted to approve the topic. Many of the non-dated items were provided by TSBA several years ago as a basic agenda. Does the board wish to schedule a work session to revise the annual agenda to best meet its needs?
Discussion:
Instead of having a work session, the board agreed to allow Ms. Abernathy to create a new annual agenda for presentation to the board.

Discussion:
During the Director's Report, Ms. Abernathy stated that following the tour of Forrest School the board made the previous week, she now has three options for renovations and new construction at the school. Mr. Jones made a motion, with a second by Mr. Perryman, to consider option 2. Mr. Jones withdrew his motion to make another motion.
Ms. Abernathy: thanked Marshall County Stone for scoreboards at Forrest School, and Walmart in Chapel Hill for the $1,000 donation; stated that letters are being sent to state representatives encouraging them to retain our current pre-kindergarten program.
Ms. Abernathy told the board the local winery has offered to be a sponsor for the tennis team, but as part of the sponsorship they would like to put up a sign. She then cited board policy 1.806 (Advertising and Distribution of Materials in the Schools) which states: "The principal shall screen all materials prior to distribution to ensure their appropriateness. The principal may prohibit materials that students would reasonably believe to be sponsored or endorsed by the school." She informed the board she denied the request.
