5. Approve 2021-2022 COVID-19 protocol plan
The original plan discussed in the July meeting included a recommendation for students and staff to wear masks. This plan was amended as presented in response to an executive order from the governor requiring all students, staff, and visitors to wear masks in school buildings. After several board members discussed thoughts, the board heard from a multitude of visitors on the negative effects they have had by wearing masks and the desire for their children to have the choice to wear a mask to school. The board then voted against the new plan which means the administration has direction to recommend mask use. Superintendent Julius advised visitors that this is subject to change at any moment and that this is only the beginning of a tough road ahead.

7. Board and Administrator Reports
Superintendent Julius discussed plans to complete the budget and have it on display and advised the board that the fan installation was delayed but should be completed before students arrive. He also informed the board that the ESSER II grant was complete and that many of the items listed on the grant were for existing expenses, which would free up money for later use and inflate some fund balances in which that money could be used for more discretionary purposes.
Principal Campbell reported on the reading curriculum and that there was a big swing of students coming in and out of the district this year, but that our numbers look to be holding similar to last year.
Principal Sullivan said sports are in full swing now and that he is ready for a more normal year. He praised the custodial and maintenance staff for doing great work in getting the buildings prepared for school next week.
