(Agenda item #3) Fred suggested tabling the survey until we meet with Andrea and Kathy G. who have revised the survey.  Survey will be discussed at the April 3rd meeting.   Mike suggested presenting survey when school budget is ready. 

(Agenda #5) Review of pacing -- Groups were assigned to specific assignments of responsibility for different sections of the Plan.

Valerie asked if the purpose of the groups was to research each topic of the plan and then to share this information to the larger group?

Fred stated that the reason for splitting the sections was to divide up the work, and then it would be shared and discussed with the whole group.
