with board approval. A list of the exact

Preschool Supplies
Since
the districts will be providing their own preschool transportation next year,
the coop has several transportation items that are no longer needed. Superintendents asked that the coop hold onto
the car seats until the beginning of the school year to see if districts might
have a need for them. Superintendents
expressed some interest in the bus radios and Dr. Mickelson agreed to research
details about the radios and provide additional information to them. Dr. Mickelson reported that superintendents
had suggested selling or donating the excess preschool supplies. Lisa Reece made the motion to dispose of the
supplies as recommended. Motion was
seconded by Ken Kirsop and it passed 6-0.

the superintendents they agreed that the districts will have to make up this
revenue difference.
