The council received three invitations to the Governor's Education Summit to be held on Oct 15, 1997. Fred Frasier from CUHE and Margaret Drye from CHENH will attend. NHHC has tabled their invitation because they didn't want it to appear that an individual was representing the Coalition.

The next meeting will be Nov 4, 1997 in Room 12 of the Department of Education at 3:30 pm unless otherwise notified.
