PUBLIC COMMENTS (6:05 p.m.)
12.Public Comments - p.16 During public comments, Peggy Martin and Linda Schaich came forward with new allegations on the mishandling of the 2012-2013 budget. Martin claimed that, contrary to the numbers given by the school board, there may be a deficit of $44 million lurking in the budget. She also told the board that the state may soon be investigating the Audit Committee, as the governor's office has shown initiative in addressing concerns about the Audit Committee's want to focus on only a very small part of the catastrophic 2012-2013 budget.

David Miner also spoke, praising David Gayler as a "consensus builder," and commended the board for asking him to be their interim.
