CAT Tracks for November 15, 2005
REGULAR BOE MEETING

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me! Bad CAT!!!

Forgot all about the regular monthly meeting of the Cairo BOE tonight...moved up from Thursday. Knew about the change...had it on the calendar...got the packet in school mail today...just plain didn't pay attention. It finally dawned on me at about 6:45 p.m. Took off for the District Central Office...so that I could sit outside until almost 9 p.m. due to the closed session. Oh, well...consider it detention!

So, you won't see much in minutes, but the agenda is posted for your reading pleasure...
