programs that are open to the public and private students of Monroe County on an equal
basis. While the School Board understands that the County reserves the right to enter
into agreements with non-public schools pursuant to the statute, it is also understood
that the County will consider the School's County-wide proposal open to all public and
private students. Additionally, should the County opt to enter into a non-public school
agreement the School Board will be given the ability to amend its proposal to reflect
only public school students.
