The latest information on the prospects of returning students to classrooms in a hybrid learning model is among the items appearing on the agenda for the Philomath School Board’s meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Ready Schools, Safe Learners — the state’s moniker for its pandemic-related health and safety guidance — will be among the meeting’s discussion points with an update from Superintendent Susan Halliday and a review of operational blueprints for Clemens Primary and Philomath Elementary schools that are required by the Oregon Department of Education as part of school re-entry plans.
The board is also expected to take a look at a draft district calendar for 2021-22 and possibly returning to in-person board meetings in March.
Other agenda items include the latest status involving the district’s superintendent search, a look at licensed contract renewals, a second reading on various policy revisions and other routine business.
School Board members are scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. in executive session to discuss labor negotiations.
School Board members include chair Shelley Niemann, Greg Gerding, Anton Grube, Jim Kildea and Karen Skinkis.
