132 Mr. Atwood suggested that the Council and School Board combine retreats, since the Council meets in September and the School Board in October. Another suggestion was that a follow-up session take place after both retreats are completed and the November meeting should be reserved as an expanded time to provide' input to the school's process. Mr, Toscano suggested that the School Board and Council exchange notes from their retreats so that both groups will be prepared to discuss the primary issues in the November meeting. Ms. Slaughter stated that the Standards of Quality Document needed to be updated. Ms. Waters suggested that the agenda for the school's strategic plan would also be helpful.
