BOARD COMMENTS
Superintendent Fletcher read the following statement: Over the past few months, the Board of Education and I have read ever changing guidance on how to provide a safe learning environment for our students and staff. We have heard from our district legal counsel regarding the legal pitfalls of not requiring masks in schools. We have heard from our community members about their opinions on masks, vaccinations, etc. I want to say publicly that the persons sitting up here tonight have spent many sleepless nights worrying about the decisions we talked about tonight. Our main objective is to keep students and staff safe while trying to bring a sense of normalcy to our students. The only way we can do that is with the full cooperation of our students, staff, parents and guardians. If your child is sick, please DO NOT send them to school. If your child has any symptoms of illness, please DO NOT send them to school. If you receive a call from school staff regarding your child, please do not yell and cuss at our staff members. The Board and District have a sound plan to keep students safe and move towards normalcy. The success of this plan is dependent upon working together and understanding that our actions outside of school are just as important as our mitigation efforts in school. There will be bumps in the road, but I know we can have a successful school year. Details of our plan will be posted to the website tomorrow.
