4. Discussion Items
Discussion:
Mr. Kobza discussed that the school is closed for the rest of the academic school year by the directed health measure, therefore Prom, Music trip to Dallas and the FFA trip to France will be canceled. He discussed that as far as graduation the recommendation from the governor's office is to not plan an event until August at the earliest. He shared different options that had been discussed such as drive thru events, but those have also been discouraged. His suggestions would be to deliver caps, gowns and diplomas individually at this time or to postpone any decision until after June 1st. Board discussion followed. Board consensus was to postpone graduation indefinitely and to revisit discussion at the May meeting. Discussion was also held on the possibility of virtual meetings for some of the Awards nights, banquets, etc. The administration is currently exploring options. Discussion was held on trip scheduling in future years.
