Mr. Bouie said that the Operations Committee reviewed the Board agenda, Executive Session agenda, and the list of resolutions. The annual audit summary by the independent auditors will be presented at the December 16 meeting. The Committee observed that there still seems to be a challenge with the City providing School Resource Officer (SRO) support to the District.
