Is there a plural for agenda?

"Although agenda is a plural word, it is pedantry to object to the common and convenient practice of thus treating it as a singular one. If a singular is needed for one item of the agenda there seems no escape from the rather cumbrous phrase; agendum is pedantic and agend obsolete."
