on the following topics: * State funding cutbacks were 2.4% last month but
could be closer to 5% this month. The Collinsville district is better positioned
to weather these cutbacks (as a growing district with a strong fund balance) than
many districts. BUt Collinsville continues to look for savings .. including considering
shutting off most computer each night o save electricity. * Each campus continue
to clean surfaces daily and ecourage hand washing as just a few of the measures
