If we go into Closed Session there are some discipline reports to approve, and I will give you an update on pending litigation. I have attached an unsolicited letter from Mrs. Savage that doesn't need any response or action. She just wanted the Board to have this, and thus here it is. I was personally humbled by it in a very positive way. If there is a recommendation for the Ag position and Athletic Director position by the end of the day on Tuesday, I will forward that recommendation so you will have it for 24 hours before the meeting so you can ask me any questions you have before voting. |
