I am sure many of you have been anxiously awaiting a plan from the district. Every time we begin to put together a plan, new guidelines come out! I have met with students and teachers, talked with lawyers, had conversations with with the health department, talked to area superintendents, and read through the community survey. My hope is that next week will provide some clarity for us to begin to put together a plan. The committee will be meeting next Thursday, and while we may not have a plan that day, I will send another update. In the meantime, I will be continuing to speak to as many people as possible. I am frustrated with our lack of a plan so close to the start of school, but I want to make sure that we are doing everything to give our students the best opportunity to learn and stay safe. Everyone has been so supportive and patient as we go through this process. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the best community out there. I will be in touch soon, Superintendent Sornberger
