Updates Regarding the Upcoming Year

Dr. Magee provided updates about next year.  We are currently in a holding pattern and trying to understand what is coming in the fall.  They are working with teachers over the summer with a focus on technology and elearning.  The Administration is trying to get an understanding of PLCs needs regardless of the model with which we return.  Also working with parents and other stakeholders so that the school is prepared once any decisions are made about how the return to school will work.  May need a Special Board meeting to shore up any plans and she will let us know when that occurs.  The school is pulling together as a team to ensure the best start for the fall.
