Joanne Thomas has tried to meet with School Board

Jacqui suggested that they need to be “stood over” and forced essentially, to fill out the questionnaire.

Sean mentioned that the Ag Commission. (1stTuesday of the month) should be contacted (or, already has been?)

Jacquie volunteered to have Jen Ells to do a phone survey of certain members of the community.
