We are also exploring bringing back special classes in grades 7 and 8. A group of administrators will visit Valley Central to see their secondary level. With a changing class schedule at the high school level, it is complicated; class to class is harder to pull off. However, we continuing to work on this. We continue to monitor the numbers as this virus is something we can’t control. If a big spike occurs, it may change our course. Currently, we plan to move forward.

In closing Mr. Mains provided an explanation pertaining to the use of the word “abolished” in a particular letter, as well as the details regarding the required 30 day clause in the SRP contract for layoffs, as well as why notice was given to all. Moving forward, positions will be created and SRP members recalled as needed. There is continued communication with SRP leadership, as well as further discussion regarding students whose needs require one to one assistance. The members of the SRP unit received another letter with a more detailed explanation. We anticipate having more information to share likely by the end of September – early October.

The Superintendent further noted we are hopeful to have a plan that can be implemented in the high school for in person learning. We are currently gathering input from other districts and partnering agencies to assist with this. Parents and students will be advised as soon as we have more information to share.
