<p>Happy Fall Everyone!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some of you may be wondering when decentralized training will be. The board has decided to have the training in February or early March. The determining factors that brought us to that decision are:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>1. The training materials were received on Oct 8th so a training in October was both a short window for the trainer to prepare as well as short notice to schools. Karli, Training Chair, was diligent in requesting the info but it was not sent to us until
that day.</p>
<p><span>2. With PPY, most board members felt that we are busier than usual this fall so schools may not attend or would send fewer people.</span></p>
<p><span>3. After October, the SWASFAA boot camp, SWASFAA conference and FSA along w/ Thanksgiving and Christmas make Nov and Dec pretty packed.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>So, our plan is to have the training in February or early March and our Support Staff training will be in the opposite month. Then, the OASFAA conference will be in late April. While we realize this may not be ideal for some, we felt it was the best
option for this year.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>If you have suggestions or ideas about timing of the events, please feel free to contact one of the Delegates at Large, Teri Cochran or Caryn Pacheco so that they can bring that information to the next board meeting. Teri may be reached at cochrant@nsuok.edu
and Caryn may be reached at cpacheco@ou.edu.</span></p>
