Legal Counsel Brian Crowley attended the meeting and was available to answer questions about his recommendations for terms and conditions on a program like this one.
Dr. Kaczkowski shared that there is possibly another option that she learned about through Abbott Labs. We could be considered for a pilot program. She is investigating if this is a real option for District 41 to consider.
