Board member apologizes for earlier remarks about parental Chromebook access
Summary
A board member apologized at the May meeting for comments made at a previous meeting about parents being able to email students on district-issued Chromebooks, saying the statement was incorrect and not intentional.
During the May meeting of the Sioux Falls School District 49-5 Board of Education, a board member offered a public apology for remarks made at the previous meeting about parental access to students via district-issued Chromebooks.
"I just wanna apologize for some remarks I made at the last board meeting. I spoke incorrectly when I was talking about parents and being able to email students on their Chromebooks, and that was not done intentionally. I did not know that that was the case here, and so I just wanted to publicly apologize for that," the board member said.
No formal action was taken in response to the apology. The remark came during the meeting's general business and the board then moved to adjourn.
