UPDATE REGARDING HEAD START: Supervisor Lancaster provided the board <br />members with a copy of the letter of response. She stated that the letter should answer <br />any questions. Monica McClure the Head Start Director is in Kansas City attending a <br />meeting and would be happy to attend the next board meeting if the board members <br />have any questions. Lancaster stated that they have been in contact with Senator Kerry <br />and the regional Head Start Office. It had been recommended that there should be a full <br />time county representative overseeing the Head Start program in Hall County, but the <br />other programs in the state do not have this type of representation. If it is determined <br />that full time person needs to be hired the compensation could come from the Head <br />Start funds so there would be no cost to Hall County. One recommendation that Hall <br />County received was that two teachers that have early childhood education degrees <br />should go through the Head Start program for the certification and they are now in the <br />process of completing this. Lancaster stated that they feel that all of the questions and <br />concerns have been addressed. <br /> <br />1 b.

Mr. Aufdemberge stated that the <br />courthouse is on the national registry of historic places and has many lasting qualities. <br />The building has been updated several times but today the heating and air conditioning <br />systems and the electrical systems need to be upgraded.
