I. CALL TO ORDER President Craig Stern called meeting to order at 4:35 pm.

II. ROLL CALL OF MEMBERS All members present with Jim arriving a few minutes late.

III. CALL TO THE PUBLIC Parent Eric Sullivan gave information to the Board regarding Astro Turf similar to what is installed on our soccer field. His findings show the possibility of lead in the product. He also asked the Board to check into the gate closures on Cedar campus to insure they have a quick closing response. Jennifer said she would bring to the next Board meeting information that Headstart might have regarding the turf. It has been installed on several school campuses and the thought is that our product has documentation showing there is no lead in the product.

Craig read the attached letter from Kim Kalas. See attached letter.
