**Note:  It has been about a year since I attended a school board meeting and I forgot how hard it can be to hear some of the comments and discussion even when you are standing in the room.  On the video, it is even harder to hear some of it.  Just turn your volume up.

There were more items that were to be discussed and multiple items that needed to be voted on but they couldn't because they didn't have a quorum.  They have scheduled another meeting for Tuesday evening the 14th to vote on and approve the necessary items.

The meeting started with a presentation by the Saginaw Intermediate School District of their proposed 2012-20 budget that was to be voted on by the school board.  I was hoping to find the proposed budget online to share but they don't have it on their website. 

I was impressed by the presentation by Ron and Mike Mayes of Honor Security Systems of the proposed security system for our school system. It sounds fantastic and I think our school system, and every school system, should have security like this. Our children deserve nothing less than the best.
You can check out their website:

Superintendent Whelton gave a update on the lighting and sound system for the high school auditorium. Sounds great and long overdue.  Maybe then can get the school board meetings miked up too, Hint Hint.

During the comment section at the end of meeting Superintendent Whelton gave updates on the snow day issue and a partnership with Nexteer Automotive for a program called Book Access For All that will have libraries in each classroom.  
The meeting is long but well worth listening to.
