More students are graduating and he complimented high school Principal Mr. Karpe on how well he has done keeping students in school until graduation. Mr. Chapman also went over the 2018 Bond. All of the money from the 2018 bond has been spent on the district. Next year the board will have to decide if a bond needs to be presented in order to continue to purchase buses for the district. Mr. Chapman recommends every three years a transportation bond needs to be passed in order to keep the district buses up to date. The Covid 19 numbers were given to the board: 2 student positive cases this summer, 3 students and 1 teacher positive case this school year, and 25-30 students and staff quarantined due to exposer to a positive Covid 19 case. As of right now we have no known active cases among students and staff. Mr. Chapman stated the health department has been overwhelmed with community cases and they will allow the school to take responsibility in contacting the exposed students and staff. Mr. Chapman addressed the board about public relations. The district is utilizing social media and our school website to promote positivity in the district. Staff and patrons are highlighting the best of Lindsay Public Schools. He went on to say, Lindsay has a great virtual program in place and he wants students to have the option to continue with in person learning or virtual learning in the future.
