I.Q. Superintendent's Report
Discussion:
Dr. Loeffelholz talked about the Lighting of the Anchor event that is going out via Facebook virtually. He shared information on the staff Zoom Meeting, he said staff is appreciative of the Friday's for planning, and thankful for the time and effort being put into keeping kids in school. We had our largest week of COVID absences last week at 212 students. Quite a few teachers came back today. If we reach 10-11% of staff out, it will be almost impossible to stay in school. Dr. Loeffelholz talked about the information districts are getting from Governor Ricketts. The NSAA has cancelled all the Jamboree games that typically take place the weekend after Thanksgiving. He said only the Governor and Education Commissioner can close all schools. There was some discussion regarding how they calculate hospital beds being used for COVID-19 patients in the state and locally. Dr. Loeffelholz also shared the data sheet with all of the CPS COVID-19 numbers. |
