This would give families nearly complete control over education <br />dollars and more appropriate control in meeting the educational needs of their <br />children. <br />r <br />Adopted this3 day of December 2012. <br />--J, P"v, <br />Chairman <br />Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />ATTEST: <br />2 <br />
