The Board appreciated her efforts during her career and wishes her well in retirement. Mr. Mezger noted the importance of our students being one-to-one with technology devices. The new software updates have improved

our ability to be active learners online. Superintendent Meyerle gave an update on several warranty items with Caspers-Sampson in the new gym. Superintendent Meyerle noted procedures and protocols that are taking place in the buildings and by the staff due to COVID-19. He noted that he was very pleased with the efforts of staff and students. The school will be cautious with those that are in contact with positive cases, and have such students or staff quarantine unless it becomes an issue of being able to have school or not. If that is the case, then the school would consider those with close contact to come to work while wearing a mask as the state is allowing.
