IV.B. Learning Model Update:
Presenter:

On Monday, February 22, all students in grades K - 12 returned to school every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
In January, the middle school was added every week and now grades 9 - 12+ (including STEP) will return on a weekly basis. Previously, the students had been in the building for one week and then on distance learning for the next week. This was on a rotating basis. We will be able to maintain our 6 feet of social distancing in this model. Our planning day will be March 8th, 2021. |

IV.D. Open Enrollment Transportation
Presenter:
C Johnson
Description:
This topic was discussed last fall. This is a reminder that open enrollment transportation for students on IEPs beyond the open enrolling district border is no longer eligible for special education funding after this current fiscal year. This goes back to the Osseo Court decision. The letter that was shared with district's last fall is attached again for your information.
