=**Meeting Notes**= The Literacy Support Network went on campus site visits on Tuesday, March 31. This was a mandatory meeting for all literacy coaches. ** The next Literacy Support Network meeting will be on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 in the Board Auditorium of the Hattie Mae White ESC (morning session 8:30-11:30 and afternoon session 12:30-3:30). This will be a mandatory meeting for ALL members of the network (ie. coaches and specialists). **   Our gracious hosts for the campus site visit are to be commended for the time and effort that they took in preparation for this site visit. We appreciate the hospitality of the coach, principal and faculty for opening their school, classrooms and instructional practice for us to observe and use as a practicum for our professional development as coaches and instructional leaders. Our hosts for March 31 were:
