Parents and community members raise concerns about energy drinks and phones; candidate announces board run
Summary
During public comment at the Aug. 19 meeting, Val Mounts raised concerns about an energy drink called "Feel Free," phones in schools and student dress; Tim Palm questioned the scope of the energy audit and Joe Strassell announced he is running for the board.
Several visitors used the public-comment period at the Aug. 19 Lucas Local Board meeting to raise student-focused concerns and to introduce themselves to the board.
Visitor Val Mounts raised worries about an energy drink called "Feel Free," saying she is concerned about caffeine’s effects on students and also raised concerns about phones in school and student dress and behavior. Superintendent Herman responded that phones are now banned in school; Mounts said she has not seen the drink in district schools.
Visitor Tim Palm asked whether the Energy Optimizers audit included windows and doors and said he would not want HVAC work if windows and doors were not sealed; the minutes do not record a detailed technical response to that question.
Joe Strassell introduced himself and said he is running for the school board and will attend future meetings.
The board acknowledged the visitors and proceeded with the business on the agenda.
