2.1. Discuss, Consider, and Take Necessary Action on Return to Work Agreement with Non-Certificated Staff
Discussion:
Dr. Dawn Lewis discussed with the board the possibility of creating a return to work agreement for classified staff should the district be forced to shut down. No example of what will be in the agreement was brought to the meeting so the board did not come to an agreement with Administration that an approval of an agreement would be made until they see a draft of that agreement. A future meeting may be needed for this approval.

Matt O'Daniel suggested we make this management discretion based on all the moving and constantly changing parts. The administration agreed to reduce the hours to a minimum of 5 hours per day.
