Discussion:  Lynn Johnson made note that this will serve as our nonpublic consultation meeting and that is was advertised as such.  It was acknowledged that there were proportionate share monies that were unspent noting that there were no nonpublic students who needed additional services.  These funds will be used for services to school age public school students as allowed by law.  We discussed special education services, procedures, and processes.  Both parties are pleased with the current services and management of services.  We made note of two different students with potential needs that Lynn and Dr. Wooster will continue to research.
