Public Input

Tony and Cindy Lesniewski – Requesting the Board to modify the Homeschool policy

related to participation in athletics. Tony and Cindy would like to see District allow

some discussion, the Board decided to bring it to the Athletic Committee to review the

policy and consider the request. Thereafter the Athletic Committee meeting, the
