In a follow up by Bob Hohman on Safe Communities, it is noted for the record that Board members requested that the subject be returned to the Board in January 2001. School Based Clinic Grant Thora Starke, Chair Texas Department of Health proposed a grant for school based clinics. Thora noted her interest in the grant and told Board Members that she had never worked on a grant and knew nothing about it. She received the proposal in the mail and had taken the opportunity to take a look at it and felt it would take a lot of work by a lot of people. She reported that she had toured the clinic in Carrolton-Farmers Branch and noted that it takes a lot of people to work at the facility.
