On Friday, December 31st, there was communication sent to the Board informing us that the Boardroom seating capacity has been lowered to 30. The capacity of 30 includes Board members, staff, and members of the public. Please note, I was not consulted prior to the decision being made. I have voiced my concerns to Board Chair Mahaffey about so few members of the public being allowed in the Boardroom and not being informed that this was being considered until after the decision was made and communicated by Tim Simmons, Chief of Communications.
Please remember I will be hosting a D9 Connection Meeting this Sunday, January 2nd at 4 pm. This is an informal meeting for me to listen to you. If you live in D9, have a student in a D9 school, or work in a D9 school, please join us using this Google Meet Link.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
