NEW
BUSINESS: |
|
|
| Application for state incorporation (Federal Form 501 (3)c: It was brought up that we begin the application process for 501(3)c and sales tax exemption. This would have saved our organization quite a bit of money when paying for our conferences. It is a lengthy process and we agreed to proceed and the item will be on the November agenda. |
| Gary Wiseman brought up the recent Court of Appeals decision regarding DPP’s and Home Visits before truancy charges can be filed. Gary has spoken to several legislators about this decision and has some proposed language for legislation. A motion was made by Chuck Stallard and seconded by Marsha Hurt to give Gary Wiseman permission to move forward with this issue and let the Board know what happens. The motion carried. |

Greene from Bell County has been nominated for Treasurer.
