Guest speaker- GSE team.

Stacie- 13 applicants for RILA, sent out 10.

Speaker-  Dr. Henry Scipione, lives in York, has 2 children, and has lived here since 2000.  His purpose today is to provide information so that we can make an informed decision when we vote on May 22, 2004.  We are voting this year on phase II of a 3 year recovery plan.  In 2002 the schools lost 26.5 positions.  May 2003’s vote restored 11.6 of the 26.5 positions.  Recovery positions are NOT new positions.  Rather, the 3 year plan is an attempt to restore staffing levels to those of 2002.  However you vote, please vote!

Meeting adjourned.
