Discussion:
Dr. Simeroth - starting back to school on a small scale. Next week athletes will come back for outdoor work-outs. Nothing is being done including rentals indoors. We are being very cautious. Still planning to open school August 13. Planning for the worst and hoping for the best. July 25th graduation still on track. Virtual summer school is still on track. A parent called about Saturday school and this is a worst case scenario right now. It is just an option offered by the state department of education.
ACT is not currently rescheduled. Mrs. Hawthorne - I enjoyed senior festivities. Mr. Cunningham - No comment Mr. Van Meter - My last meeting, I'd like to recognize the leadership at all levels, I've always been proud to say I'm on the Yukon Public School Board. It's been an honor to serve with my former board members. Mrs. Cannon - Mr. Van Meter, we really appreciate your steady hand and your solution focused comments, ideas and service. Food service workers have really done a superb job under awful circumstances. The dedication, time, and efforts by all of our staff has been incredible. Mr. Wells - This has been a disappointing year-end. Many things students worked towards and looked forward to were canceled and hopefully we will all get through it. All of the senior festivities and teacher send-off were spectacular. Mr. Van Meter, it has been a pleasure and your experience has been invaluable. |
