Superintendent: early dismissals due to weather kept students safe, report cards and spring break dates announced
Summary
In the superintendent's report, Dr. Barnett said the district dismissed early because of uncertain weather and confirmed buses got students home safely; he also noted grading/reporting dates and spring break timing.
During the superintendent's report, Dr. Barnett told the board that earlier weather concerns prompted the district to dismiss school early and notify parents, saying safety motivated the decision.
"We felt like at that time that it was either we get kids out of here or we may be stuck with them for a day or 2," Dr. Barnett said, according to the transcript. He added that he was thankful all buses got students home safely and acknowledged that parents may complain but emphasized the priority was students' safety.
Dr. Barnett also reviewed calendar items in his report, including the end of the nine'week grading period and the timing for report cards and spring break. No specific dates for those calendar items were provided in the transcript beyond the board's announced next meeting date.
The superintendent closed his report without proposing new policy; the board moved on to scheduling and adjournment.
