CAT Tracks for August 22, 2007
TOP SECRET BOE MEETING

Nah...not really...just one of those things.

Evidently, the notice for the Special Meeting for Monday, August 20, 2007, went out on time...it just didn't find its way into CAT paws until after the fact. This CAT came down with a summer cold and missed work on Monday...BAD CAT! The notice, which was probably in my school mailbox, laid unattended. To compound my BAD CAT act, a fellow CAT asked me at about 6 p.m. on Monday if there was a BOE meeting...that she had heard that there was one. I assured her that "Nope...can't be...'cause I didn't get no stinking notice."

Oh, well...the best laid plans of CATs and men.

Anyway...below is the agenda for that "missing meeting", followed by a report of what actually happened.

Better late than never...
