IV. Academic Achievement
A.
Review Dashboard and HOS Report
Issues with sidewalk, pooling of water at the driveway, and snow shoveling at the school. IA HOS wants to receive clarity as to who is responsible for making these repairs. The security cameras, boiler, and heat concerns need to be addressed as well. Management will communicate with Management and the board will follow up with the board of Nazareth. A discussion was held about the resources sent home and knowing whether parents find it to be effective or not. IA HOS plans to use parent-teacher night and parent surveys to receive feedback from families. A discussion was held about the school dropping of the mask mandates as the city is moving to remove the mandate. A parent survey was given and parents do not feel comfortable with the removal of masks. Discussion was held about the removal of desk shields as they are not sustainable, can cause possible injuries from falling over, and need constant repair. Further discussions will be held with the board to formalize the shift of the mask mandate.
