At no point could a fence have been allowed that was higher than 4 feet. Robert Henson, CANO Head Start Board Member, stated he had attended a meeting with Mr. Klotz and Mr. Grady. At the conclusion of that meeting it was his understanding that the variance would be granted. He requested that the Commission approve the variance under the exceptions allowed to schools.
