Board schedules joint meeting on remote learning, principals to discuss fall planning
Summary
The Manhattan City board will host a joint meeting focused on remote learning and fall 2020 planning; four principals are scheduled to participate to discuss instructional needs, academic intervention and technology gaps.
The Manhattan City Executive Committee said a joint session between the board and education stakeholders will center on remote learning and contingency plans for fall 2020.
Committee members said remote learning poses particular challenges for early-grade reading and for students needing intervention and trauma supports. Carter and Janine Kiley said four principals — Jackie Getz (75 Morton), Kelly Shannon (PS 41), and principals from IS 2 (names not specified in transcript) — will participate in the upcoming meeting to outline needs for technology, academic supports, and resources should fall continue as remote or hybrid instruction.
Janine said schools will likely require additional resources, different allocations and direct planning for academic intervention if in-person instruction is limited. The joint meeting will use the board’s Zoom platform and combine two smaller agenda items from CB1’s education chair into one session to streamline discussion.
Board staff said logistics were being finalized and that the education committee will share the draft agenda with participating principals and the education chair prior to the meeting. No formal decisions were made; the meeting aims to collect principals’ input to guide further committee questions and follow-up work.
