Public Comment
Karen Shute would like to hold a before and after school program at the Town Hall Community Center.  This would be a self funding program.  There is a lot of great space that is perfect for this type of program.  Karen has past experience in before and after school care.  She contacted the bus company.  They stated if the bus would drop off school children as passing by it may be free.  If there is a special run to town hall there would be a fee.  The facility would need to be licensed.  Employees would have to be first aid and CPR certified.  Karen will provide board with a written proposal.
