    • Dr. Riccio recommends sending the survey to the returning board members in early August, and giving them two weeks to complete it. It will take the board members about 15 minutes to complete. He would like to have the results back by the 24th in order to use the information for his planning. If any new board members are sworn in before then, he would NOT recommend they take the survey.
