C. 2011-2012 Budget (item added at the beginning of the meeting) – discussion only
D. 2011-2012 Budget Calendar – The county has given the school district an extension of two weeks (until mid-April instead of April 1) to submit the school district’s 2011-2012 budget proposal. The Board approved adjusting the budget calendar to reflect the extension.

In another situation, if the district pursues an alternate schedule (like Wilkes County), a different
calendar might have to be adopted.)
L. Policy #4400 Attendance Policy – revision approved
M. Policy #2130 Board Member Compensation & Expenses – amended version approved (wording “staff development” needed to be changed to “board development”)
