Welcome Guest(s), Public Comment

Introduction of Rebah Ginn and Sami Hyde, both leadership team members.
Discussion about how we will make up for the learning gap from e-learning and COVID-related missed school. We will no be lowering the bar and finding ways to insert any missed material into the day, without going backward. We are also looking to utilize community partners over the summer to help with any learning that can happen during that time period.
How are we addressing teacher sustainability and happiness during these times? We are focusing on teachers and their voice, making sure that they feel like they are heard and valued. We are recognizing what they are doing each day and validating what they are doing well. We trust them to do what is best for kids.
