II. Review of TVDEC budget proposal 2003-04.
John Stritt reviewed the budget that will be proposed at the annual meeting. The yearly consortium fee would remain the same at $2,500 per school.

III. Review and approve July-Sept bills.
Mike Teahon moved for approval of July through September bills. Ron Wymore second. Motion Carried.

IV. Membership/Wilcox-Hildreth
Ron Wymore moved that Wilcox/Hildreth will only pay for a unifed membership as they are now one district with the external connection being located at the Wilcox site. Mike Teahon second.
Discussion: As there may be additional consolidations between member schools, the motion seeks to clarify the difference between an external and an internal connection. As Hildreth did not upgrade their analog static classroom, they will only be able to connect through the connection at the Wilcox site.
Motion Carried.

V. Election of officers - nominations will be taken at annual meeting.

VI. Compensation discussion
Ron Wymore moved that the following three tier proposal on compensation be presented to the governoring board at the annual meeting for consideration:

• When an instructor is hired for purposes of providing a distance education class, receiving sites will share in the contractual cost for that class period. An interlocal agreement will be created and signed by contracted parties.
  
• When districts both send and receive a class between each other, they could agree to no compensation for this exchange of classes.
  
• When a distance education class is offered, the sending site may charge a standard rate of $150 per student per semester.
  
• This proposal applies to classes that are high school credit classes only.
  

Mike Teahon second.
Discussion: Feedback from the governoring board will help determine if this should be a policy, recommendation, or need further review.
Motion carried.

VII Meeting adjourned at 9:55.
