**Agenda**
March is MEC and the Luncheon. We need to plan for that in Feb. April 3, Friday; 9-11 to plan for the Ed Tech Collaboration Workshop. This would give us time to plan if we get the April 23-24th date. Will this be better or not?
 * It is our proposal** that the next meeting be moved to Friday, Feb 20th; 9-11am in Gilbert.

We have the conference room at Gilbert reserved for Friday Feb 20th and Friday April 3 for these planning meetings. (Julia)
