The meeting was called to order by President MaryLynn Perry at the home of Nancy Robertson.
Ed Starnes gave an update on the status of the Monte Sano Elementary School closing. Much discussion including input from Sara Stoddard and Ann Kvach followed. Ed said there needed to be a coordinated effort with the bottom line being how MSES, the smallest school in the system, can save money for the Huntsville school system.
Ed suggested having a mountain-wide Civic Association meeting after Sara and Ann have obtained detailed financial data concerning the Monte Sano Elementary School from the city school system. District 2 School Board Representative David Blair will be invited to attend the meeting. Ed suggested that Sara meet with Dr. Ed Richardson at a point in time when she can demonstrate how much money could be saved in the future operation of MSES.
