budget planning process, we should be in decent shape. However he agreed with Jeff Finch when he
mentioned that he thought that the last time there was a recession the impact
did not actually hit the school until two or three years after the fact, so he
wanted all Board members to keep that in mind while planning the budget for the
upcoming years. He answered questions
and the Board thanked him for his update.
