Deputy superintendent of administrative leadership and services Dr. Gary Zehrbach will provide an update on steps the district has taken in regards to COVID-19 and the district’s return to learning planning. The board will discuss new information on the plans, and will also discuss the potential to return to in-person governing board meetings.
