  5. Tabulator’s report by Bob Velevis:  Bob again requests that rosters be listed alphabetically, last name first.  Also, a student’s grade needs to be checked, as there have been errors in the past.  VP’s should check all rosters for accuracy and recopy as necessary.
  6. Test-Writer’s report by Kent Findell:  Kent proposed that counting problems be included in category 3 in meet 5.  Vaag Mosca presented a packet on counting problems.  After reviewing the material, it was voted to include counting problems in category 4 of meet 5, which will now read, “Probability and Counting.”  Category 4 of meet 1 will now read, “Order of Operations and Statistics.”  This will be done this year and reviewed at the end of the school year.

Webmaster report by Kip Bryan:  The web site address was distributed.  Coaches are encouraged to share this information with the students.  Kent Findell will include the address on the bottom of tests.  Meet questions will not be posted on the web until advisers receive results of the meet.  “Job postings” will be eliminated from the web site.
