Superintendent Comments
4. Superintendent Comments
Minutes:

Superintendent Broskie advised that letters will be sent to families affected by boundary alignment now as well as next year.  This letter will be shared with the board, whose efforts and work re boundary realignment are appreciated.  It is anticipated that, with growth accelerating, boundary realignment will likely need to be considered more frequently.

As a result of collaboration with the Clay County Department of Health, employees ages 65+ are now being offered an opportunity to receive the COVID vaccine.

School Board Comments
5. School Board Member Comments
Minutes:

Mrs. Gilhousen expressed the hope that parents affected by boundary realignment would have the ability to access and tour newly redistricted schools so that the campuses would be more familiar, alleviating angst.  Superintendent Broskie indicated he hoped the existing health crisis would improve to allow this access as well.

Mrs. Bolla reminded board members of the Apple Awards, honoring the Teacher of the Year and Support-Related Employee of the Year that will be presented virtually on Thursday evening.
