Discussion:
The Administrative team went through their plan to open school. We will follow direct health measures, but will also factor in where our area health risk is. In sending out surveys and meeting with various groups, the administrative team found that there is a varied comfort level among parents and staff, with 80 to 85% wanting kids back in school. Mr. Collins expressed concern to the Board members that that we may be doing more damage by keeping our kids home. Mr. Collins explained that he is not a meterologist, not a medical doctor or epidemeologist and that he depends on the experts when it comes to making decisions. We do the best we can with the information we are given. The Board stated they appreciate the fact that we are trying to do what is best.
