II. Executive and Governance
A.
Updates on In-Person Learning
Final phase of in-person learning began today, with 100% of students who want that option now having access to in-person learning.
Arrival and Dismissal are still hard and take a lot of work, but will be able to eventually work out the quirks and hopefully transition some responsibilities away from Administrators.
To make this option work for the rest of the year, Daniel teaches two morning work periods per week.
More to share, and maybe some photos, for the full Board meeting. Distance learning remains an option at every level.
No public comment.

Greg's current term is up at the end of June. Greg had two potential board member candidates politely decline, stating lack of time.
