Gene Winer: Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, there has been increased attention to airborne diseases and new technologies to fight them. I would like to raise awareness of one that has been adopted by multiple school districts already, including Clark County, Nevada, Fort Bend, Texas, South San Francisco, California, and others. The technology is called Far-UVC (222nm). It is Ultraviolet lightbulbs that can be put in any classroom, bathroom, bus, or other enclosed space to ward off anything from the flu to Covid-19. The cost is a few thousand and it has been proven to not leave any irritation on human contact. Please look into this!

Emails were sent out from HR about missing Fridays and it was felt that it could have been handled better.

There are also some bold students that do not respect the directives of adults and we need to find a solution.

Students are parking in the faculty/staff parking lot.

When there are problems amongst the staff coming from a few, there are blanket policies that affect everyone.

Being able to check-in and check-out early is great.

Pali Period has been used well by some faculty to make-up assignments and assessments.

Having consistent communication when there are threats or emergencies on campus would be more helpful.

Sara Margiotta: Is there a date on that grant?

Mike Rawson: It comes in towards the end of June.
