Please mark your calendars now to join us in one week on Wednesday evening, August 19, at 6:30 for a special study session school board meeting that will focus on the impact COVID-19 will have on student learning in our district.

Please reach out to your school's principal if you have any questions in this area; we are all hard at work preparing for a smooth start to the school year.

At last night's board meeting, the board voted to approve the 4-step reopening plan that we posted here recently and also to start in Step 2 as long as the state or local public health officials don't move all schools in the county to full distance learning. While we all want to be back with students in-person as soon as possible, the board's action puts safety at the very center of our efforts.
