ITEM 2-BALLET PROGRAM WITH SCHOOLS Commissioner Fischer stated she spoke with Ruth Woolf of the Redwood City Elementary School District regarding the proposed ballet program.

She also suggested that perhaps a short presentation about the ballet program could be made at the District's Principals meeting in mid- August. Commissioner Fischer said a cover letter needs to be developed to accompany the proposal.
