District Leadership Meeting
1.  Priority School Presentation:  Dr. Lefdal and his team will present to the State Board on Thursday and Friday next week.  They have to submit the presentation today so that the state board committee has time to review it and prepare questions for next week. 
2.  2021 STRAT Plan Final update for Website:  On the district website, we need to make any final changes to the 2021 report and dashboard.  Dr. Gibbons will create the 2022 website once amendments are  approved by the board in April.
3. Review Strategic Plan Board Member Amendments:  We need to meet one more time with the District Leadership team next week.  Rich Brabec will attend our final leadership meeting to discuss any changes to the 2022 strategic plan.

Buildings and Grounds:  Dan Hoesing

4.  District Website/Communication/Branding:  Discussion on ideas to decentralize our website and communication tools and who is in the best position to take on these responsibilities in your buildings.  We will schedule training for the leadership team and staff members that will be involved in this process.  This is one area that has not been set on the updated support staff salary schedule.  I need names of people in your buildings interested/talented/responsible to do this work.
5.  Return to Learn Public Input:  We have to seek public input on our 2022-23 Return-To-Learn Plan.  Kady and I had a zoom meeting with ThoughtExchange yesterday to discuss the use of ThoughtExchange for this required input along with ways to target and improve the credibility and trust level of responses in other exchanges.
