MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2613.92 1.60 So<space>I<space>just<space>wanna<space>clarify<space>that.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2616.56 1.52 I<space>guess<space>I<space>wasn't<space>aware<space>of<space>that.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2621.04 5.60 Well,<space>it's<space>not<space>a<space>voting<space>unit<space>in<space>terms<space>of<space>budgets.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2645.36 1.12 Okay.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2647.04 4.96 Hmm,<space>I<space>guess<space>I<space>never<space>actually<space>gave<space>that<space>any<space>thought.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2654.16 13.60 It<space>sounds<space>like<space>it<space>really<space>is<space>the<space>case<space>that,<space>all<space>the<space>elementary<space>school<space>boards<space>would<space>really<space>merge<space>with<space>this<space>board<space>rather<space>than,<space>specifically,<space>rather<space>than<space>just<space>all<space>the<space>boards<space>merging?

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2672.40 2.64 Yes,<space>but<space>there<space>are<space>some<space>other<space>options<space>in<space>here.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2675.04 0.48 Okay.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2696.80 8.00 So<space>I'm<space>gonna<space>share<space>the<space>details<space>as<space>I<space>know<space>them,<space>and<space>as<space>I've<space>learned<space>about<space>them<space>over<space>the<space>last<space>two<space>years.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 2875.36 5.76 Well,<space>potentially<space>you<space>could<space>have,<space>say,<space>four<space>elementary<space>districts<space>in<space>Chittenden<space>East<space>that<space>merged.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3467.52 2.96 That's<space>not<space>what<space>it<space>says<space>here.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3470.80 6.40 Well,<space>then<space>there's<space>gonna<space>have<space>to<space>be<space>some<space>guidance,<space>legally,<space>around.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3478.24 12.08 When<space>I<space>asked<space>the<space>question,<space>okay,<space>the<space>independent<space>districts<space>that<space>are<space>part<space>of<space>the<space>union,<space>do<space>they<space>hold<space>the<space>assets<space>that<space>they<space>hold,<space>you<space>know,<space>hold<space>in<space>5-12?
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3490.32 0.88 They<space>said,<space>yes.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3491.20 1.28 Okay,<space>because<space>they're<space>represented.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3492.48 0.96 It<space>says<space>it<space>right<space>up<space>there.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3503.12 3.28 So<space>they'll<space>be<space>represented<space>on<space>the<space>board,<space>the<space>new<space>board<space>that<space>holds<space>all<space>the<space>assets.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3506.48 2.16 It<space>doesn't<space>say<space>that<space>in<space>the<space>law.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3522.64 2.32 Then<space>they<space>still<space>hold<space>the<space>assets.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3528.24 0.56 currently.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3528.96 1.36 Right,<space>but<space>they<space>wouldn't.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3530.40 4.64 We'd<space>have<space>to<space>separate<space>what<space>those<space>assets<space>are.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3535.28 2.16 We<space>do<space>now.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3537.76 10.00 And<space>so<space>there<space>would<space>have<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>separation<space>between<space>the<space>5-12<space>and<space>the<space>pre-K<space>to<space>12.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3548.08 0.48 John?
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3548.80 0.48 Yes.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3562.72 4.72 I<space>mean,<space>you<space>take<space>a<space>town<space>that<space>currently<space>has<space>two<space>members<space>on<space>this<space>board.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3567.52 2.72 They<space>would<space>still<space>continue<space>to<space>have<space>members-<space>-<space>Mm-hmm.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3570.24 10.56 but<space>in<space>the<space>new<space>board,<space>a<space>town<space>may<space>only<space>have<space>one<space>member<space>that<space>may<space>be<space>of<space>equal<space>size.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3580.96 6.00 So<space>isn't<space>it<space>possible<space>then<space>that<space>the<space>representation<space>becomes<space>disparate<space>as<space>a<space>result?
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3586.96 0.72 Mm-hmm.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3587.68 2.80 That's<space>up<space>to<space>the<space>committee<space>that's<space>putting<space>it<space>all<space>together<space>to<space>iron<space>that<space>out.

MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3597.04 6.88 Yeah<space>but<space>I<space>mean,<space>if<space>you're<space>gonna<space>say,<space>they<space>maintain<space>their<space>representation<space>then<space>I'm<space>presuming,<space>they're<space>maintaining<space>their<space>current<space>purpose.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3604.00 2.40 Yeah,<space>I<space>think<space>that-<space>-<space>But<space>it's<space>a<space>new<space>board-<space>-<space>Hmm.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3606.40 0.48 That's<space>gonna<space>happen.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3606.88 1.36 I<space>think<space>the<space>board.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3608.48 5.36 This<space>is<space>my<space>understanding,<space>it's<space>different<space>than<space>a<space>RED,<space>that<space>the<space>board<space>would<space>remain<space>as<space>it<space>is.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3617.20 11.20 This<space>board<space>potentially<space>would<space>expand<space>its<space>role<space>to<space>pre-K<space>to<space>12,<space>for<space>some<space>schools.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3629.84 4.16 The<space>representation<space>would<space>stay<space>the<space>same.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3635.20 10.00 There<space>would<space>have<space>to<space>obviously<space>be<space>some<space>procedural<space>structural<space>requirements<space>around<space>what's<space>voted<space>on<space>and<space>what<space>isn't.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3645.28 1.68 I<space>mean,<space>because<space>here's<space>an<space>example.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3647.12 5.36 So<space>this<space>is<space>where<space>I<space>think<space>it<space>could<space>get<space>complicated.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3654.32 0.56 You<space>could-<space>-<space>Yeah.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3654.88 0.56 That's<space>what<space>we<space>think.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3655.44 0.24 It<space>has.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3655.68 2.08 This<space>is<space>what<space>we've<space>come<space>to.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3658.80 1.68 Bye<space>Lindi,<space>here's<space>it<space>now.
MMU_Board_Mtg._5-9-13 1 3660.48 10.88 Say<space>that<space>Underhill<space>Center,<space>hypothetically,<space>we<space>merged<space>into<space>a<space>district<space>and<space>they<space>wanted<space>to<space>start<space>a<space>public<space>preschool.
