Discussion:
Discussion on protocols for the upcoming school year. Comment from Trenton Trophoj. Question about quarantine protocol for students - 14 days. The School board has the intention of being back to normal for the start of the upcoming school year. Julie G. school is a haven for low-income students. For many, this is the only place they get a meal and is a safe place. Shutting down our school could be devastating for at-risk and at-need students and families. Jason - the point is to keep kids in school. Julie - school board's job is to keep the school open. Last year the school was under the control of the CDC guidelines and governor mandates. Misinformation caused a lot of children to miss the opportunity for in-person learning. The social and emotional effects of children. Students in low-income guidelines are who we need to be concerned about. Students that are being abused or neglected fall through the cracks if they are not in our school system and we are not seeing them on a daily basis. The plan needs to be fluid to be able to best serve all of our students. St. Paul took it in stride last year and did the best they could for our students. Mr. Poppert talked about ESSER funds and the red tape involved. There are many guidelines that will need to be followed for the audit that will be in 18 months. Surveys from patrons and a plan to spend the money - online curriculum and metal and wood shop area remodel.
