10. Hiring Process for 2021-22 Staff: Principals are currently advertising, and interviewing candidates for open teaching positions. We have completed the screening process for the high school principal position. We had great interest in this position and have a good pool of quality candidates to bring on campus for interviews with administration and selected teachers from the high school building. These interviews will take place next week and we hope to have a candidate for board approval on the following Monday.
11. Safety Protocols: Questions answered as to concerns about the incident at the high school and whether safety protocol was followed. The teacher safety wall charts identify "weapons on campus" to refer to the safety manual. Dr. Lefdal followed the safety manual protocols, secured the backpack and student, contacted the superintendent who contacted the school attorney, parent, and police as directed by legal council.
