New State Guidance for In-Person Learning
The school is preparing to have students return to in person learning on
- K-5 on 05APR2021
- 6-8 on 28APR2021
- 9-12 TBD
The school is moving extra furniture to storage units to allow for 3-foot distancing in all classrooms for students while wearing masks. The cafe and gym will be needed during food consumptions so students can be 6-feet apart when is it necessary to remove their masks. We discussed moving up the date for middle school as it is possible, but the administration felt it would be to confusing given this date was already communicated to the school.
All students remote or in person will be utilizing a 5-days school day starting 07APR2021. There was a reminder to all that virtual learning is not an option next school year.
NOTE: Since the change from hybrid to K-8 being 5 days a week there has been a 10% increase of students coming on campus from 50% to 60%

Adjourn Meeting
A parent, Todd Tetreault, offered his opinion on Dr. Soria as he was part of the interview committee parent group. He commented on his excitement and hope that Dr. Soria was offered the job. He asked if we were holding discussions on the candidates.
The board explained we would be discussing the candidates in executive session as it is due to contract and their personal details on how they did in interviews. The information would be kept confidential until they accepted the position as no one should find out they didn’t get a job via social media. Mr Tetreault thank us and agreed with the approach and no other comments were made by attendees.
Sergio Martin made a motion to adjourn to executive session via roll call vote not to return to public session for purposes of contract negotiation.
Badawi Dweik seconded the motion.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
