one of my real things I like to tell people is don't rush to failure

Superintendent Funk [9:51]Superintendent Report on School Day Cancellation due to Power Outage

where we we uh um broke down systems wise is we didn't vet the communication that went out

Superintendent Funk [17:34]Superintendent Report on School Day Cancellation due to Power Outage

internally we can I know it's you're still working through it but hopefully internally we can learn and create processes so it's avoidable in the future

Chair Sherman [20:11]Superintendent Report on School Day Cancellation due to Power Outage

we didn't go out for an RFP All right we didn't go out and say okay what's best what's most compatible with our systems it was a single Source purchase no other vendors were considered and we just said we want this

Superintendent Funk [21:47]Superintendent Report on Transportation Challenges

power school was never updated

Superintendent Funk [26:45]Superintendent Report on Transportation Challenges

my biggest concern right now is the people that are on the front lines as we keep saying dealing with this um is there a plan to put more human resources behind this I don't want people to burn out

Director Hacker [39:36]Superintendent Report on Transportation Challenges

this is why we have to do the right thing on the front end and ensure formal processes are put in place where we vet equipment we vet programs properly to ensure that they work with the systems we have so that we don't end up like this

Superintendent Funk [47:22]Superintendent Report on Transportation Challenges

there's a child care crisis happening in the United States and that it's been happening for some time and the pandemic did really exacerbate the issue

Annette [1:00:40]Adventure Club Update

the state has provided great starts funding which I've spoken of to the board I believe before uh that particular that has to be spent on wages and benefits for school AG Care or Child Care employees so we've been driving those funds into um our staff

Annette [1:05:37]Adventure Club Update

how confident we are we're going to be able to um you know improve our weight lless numbers or at least not make the problem worse I think is kind of what we had said we're not going to do something that would make the problem worse

Chair Sherman [1:13:11]Adventure Club Update
