  B. Approve Truancy Policy
  C. Agreed Upon Clarification for Board Terms
   

Because of the way the Bylaws were written there is confusion between the term "office" regarding an officer of the Board (President, Secretary, Treasurer) and a regular voting Board member. The Bylaws state in Section 6 that..."Each Director may hold office for a maximum of 2 consecutive terms." This has created confusion. I propose that the Board vote on a temporary wording clarification that says, "Each Director may hold office (President, Secretary, Treasurer) for a maximum of 2 consecutive terms (4 years), and have a total membership on the Board of 6 years. "
