5. REPORTS/RECOGNITIONS: 1) School Board Members Recognition 2) Devon 3) Superintendent's Report
Discussion:
Superintendent Washburn presented his report first to provide information regarding our schools. COVID update - still a long ways away from being eligible to attend school as per state mandate. November 10 , line that was drawn is not equitable . asked for dispensation, but not word yet. Jan 1 - Jan 19, (27 staff cases). 984 case count still high. survey to teachers - who will be vaccinated - 27% yes 27% no 34% unsure. 67 staff registered to take vaccine. anticipate around 200 wanting to take vaccine. 69%. 70% staff still want to return when allowed. - current state guidelines only can offer in person instruction on a 5-1 basis to Special Education Students. and 5-1 Pk-3rd. - Mon/Tue anticipating a notice from Ed dept. No timeline or indicators.... - hope to bring seniors back on 5-1 setting and students be allowed to resume athletics and activities. No idea when or if students will be able to resume activities. need to provide where students can be together. policy changes and considerations for the future. (ask Gerry for his slide show).
What does fairly soon mean? This is NOT the schedule... - a possible idea - 5-1 is very difficult for districts and teachers can only do so much. doing 5-1 and online teaching will burn out our teachers. Hobbs and Artesia have struggled with this schedule.If we remain online all year we will have to set something up to bring back struggling students 5-1. Quarantine rules need to be adjusted and changed. CARES ACT incentive for staff to have vaccine? Recognition of Devon by Kim Arrington - Shannon Johnson from Devon Energy - community relations - donated 8,000 to 4th and 5th graders will have a kit to do a science experiment at home. - 2 board members NMSSA - emplyary award to Robert Chacon .
