III. Educational Excellence

COVID-19 Contingency Planning
Dean Johnson provided an update on current remote learning plans and operations. Food distribution will remain on Mondays and the average meals handed out each week is 1,800 meals. Anticipating more meals needed as some families may face financial hardships as pandemic continues.
B.
Remote Learning
Tysie McDowell provided an update on remote learning. Crossroads' already innovative way of teaching allowed teachers to be familiar with using a tech/virtual environment. This made for an easier transition than most schools. In addition to our team, Crossroads is utilizing outside resources to assist families who do not speak or read English.
C.
2020-2021 School Calendar
L. Weekly made a motion to approve.
C. Benner seconded the motion.
Tysie McDowell presented the 2020-2021 school calendar. Notable differences are the later start date with staff starting late July and the Summer Jumpstart beginning the first week of August. One concern is Spring Break will not match KCPS, as KCPS chose to have a later Spring Break. Due to testing and the schools we share transportation with, our earlier Spring Break will work better.
The board VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
