Looks like I beat blackturtle.us to creating the board meeting thread for the month. How proud I am! Hopefully he doesn't take it too hard.
HIGHLIGHTS:
1) Homecoming Discussion - Following a student report one of the board members showed great concern regarding Homecoming and Sweetheart events. Due to cancellation and/or postponement of sports this year, other social events have been impacted. As a result students haven't voted on who will get to be Homecoming queen and that sort of thing. I'm not sure why this issue warranted such a lengthy discussion, but it did.
2) Superintendent's Report - The only thing worthy of note is that this guy felt the need to remove his mask in order to speak into a microphone despite the fact that he was sitting within about three feet of a board member. I'll leave it to others to rebuke him for his obviously stupid behavior.
3) Maintenance - Lots of delays. I've heard that the campus is a mess and the guy in charge had all sorts of excuses for the current state of affairs. As I recall he insisted way back in August or September that maintenance projects would not interfere with academic activities, but all reports are that the situation on the ground at the school is something approximating a disaster.
4) Christmas Program - A couple comments made regarding how nice it was to have an online Christmas presentation. Everything said was positive despite the low quality of the project. It was clearly an embarrassment, but the board seemed oblivious of this for some reason.
5) One board member managed to mention her Christmas light display TWICE during two separate junctures within the course of the meeting.
6) Spanish Club Fundraiser - The club will utilize Amazon Smile. Most board members seemed to have never heard of Amazon Smile. They required an explanation. Not sure how they could be unaware of Amazon Smile, but ....
NEXT REGULAR MEETING: Feb 18, unless otherwise posted.
