1.	Public Forum
Marty Braster welcomed visitors.

Lisa Tubaugh spoke concerning board discussions on a three-year preschool per the videos posted on the website of October 11 and December 10 board meetings.  Her comments and concerns were as follows. There was no mention on the agenda to let the public know that a public discussion would be held.  Research shows overwhelming on its value.  Board members have a Code of Ethics to serve the public.  Inappropriate comments were made of a wife employed at another preschool, personal bias, having babies picked up at the hospital and using sign language with laughter.  Lisa stated their oldest child was born deaf and the parents used the Area Education Agency personnel to work with their child beginning at the age of six months.  Their child is attending the 4-year old preschool and have seen huge improvements.  Lisa stated parents have a choice to send their child to this school or another school where a certified teacher is employed.  Lisa suggested surveying parents to see if there is an interest in a three-year old preschool.  Do not muddy the waters of its financial long-term effect.  Enough monies could be generated for the financial impact.  Lisa stated they have four children with three hearing-impaired.  Lisa stated the board owes an apology to the hearing impaired.
