Before we get into the weekend, there are a few things I'd like to discuss:
1. School Board Meeting - January 31
2. Candidates for School Board
3. Positive COVID-19 Cases
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING - JANUARY 31
The school board's meeting originally scheduled for February 7th has been moved up one week to January 31. A big reason for this is because the school board voted earlier this month to universally mask for the month of January. Rather than having a gap between that vote and the next meeting, the board decided to move the meeting up one week so that mitigation strategies and COVID-19 data can be discussed. Additionally, there will be a presentation of the JRMS/CHS Program of Studies during this meeting.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the CHS Music Room and digitally via Zoom. An agenda, with Zoom information, can be found here.
