 Melissa Connor The Chair called the business meeting to order at 4:45 pm Agenda Item I.
 Consent Agenda – for information only: Updated enrollment information and financial information. Scott reported a projected deficit of $8286, which represents a worst case scenario. There is a meeting on 4/16 with FM to discuss final payment for this year. Enrollment requests today looking pretty good. FM has not completed their registration process: we budgeted for 35 FM students, there are currently 24 enrolled.
Agenda Item II.
Ongoing Business Staffing 2015-2016 School Year – Bob reported the Budget committee met last week. Timing demands some action until enrollments are closer to completion. Hoping not to have to follow through with reductions in force but the moving parts make it necessary at this time. MOTION: (David/Randy) to authorize reduction in force notices for .5 FTE for Mechanical Design and Innovation and Carpentry instructor positions pursuant to Article VII and Article XX of the Agreement between the Springfield Teachers Association and the River Valley Technical Center Board of Directors. The Board hopes enrollments increase and positions can be reinstated. Voted and passed unanimously. River Valley Technical Center Board of Directors April 13, 2015 Page 2 of 2 Scott read a letter of resignation submitted by Melissa Connor. MOTION: (David/Jim) to accept Melissa’s resignation with much regret and thanks for her years of service and wish her well. Voted and passed unanimously.
Agenda Item VI.
 Next Meeting The next regular meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 2015.
Agenda Item VII. Possible Executive Session – none needed.

The chair adjourned the meeting at 5:00 pm Respectfully submitted, Brenda Blodgett Recording Secretary
