A
Opening
survey
tonight
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
our
best
thinking
and
planning
around
reopening
schools
after
this
presentation
we're
trying
to
keep
it
to
ten
to
fifteen
minutes,
we're
going
to
open
it
up
to
you.
We
want
to
know
what
your
questions
and
concerns
are
for
the
question
answer
portion
of
the
meeting.
Please
use
the
chat
function
at
the
bottom
right
hand.
Side
of
your
screen
to
type
in
your
questions.
A
Please
do
not
use
the
Q&A
function,
as
we
will
not
be
checking
that
so
I'm
going
to
repeat
that
you
want
to
use
the
chat
function.
If
you
want
to
send
us
questions,
we
have
a
team
of
people
monitoring
these
questions,
but
of
course
we
may
not
be
able
to
get
to
every
single
one
tonight,
depending
on
the
volume
and
the
range
of
questions.
A
However,
we
want
to
make
sure
no
question
goes
unanswered,
so
all
questions
will
be
copied
from
the
chat
at
the
end
of
this
session
and
entered
into
an
FAQ
frequently
asked
questions
or
otherwise
responded
to.
If,
after
this
session,
you
still
have
questions
feel
free
to
email.
These
questions
to
the
reopening
task
force
email
that
email
address
for
those
of
you
who
are
interested
is
BSD
reopening,
so
BSD
reopening
at
BSD,
VT
org
after
tonight's
and
tomorrow's
town
halls,
because
we
are
doing
one
for
all
staff
tomorrow,
slightly
different.
A
B
B
So
I'm
excited
to
be
here
and
I
wanted
to
introduce
two
people
who
have
been
working
closely
with
who
you
you
probably
know.
We
have
Andrew
Styles
our
president
of
the
DEA
and
Dwight
brown,
our
chair
for
asked
me
and
so
I'm
gonna
ask
them
to
introduce
themselves
as
we
get
started,
because
we've
been
working
in
very
close
partnership
since
I
got
here
15
days
ago,
and
we're
just
very
excited
about
the
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do
together.
So
Andrew
hold.
A
On
Tom
I'm
gonna
interrupt
them
really.
Sorry
everybody,
but
I
did
get
a
text
from
someone
in
the
district
who
said
that
we've
reached
our
capacity
for
zoom,
which
is
odd
because
of
the
type
of
account
we're
using.
So
it
says
that
she
can
see
this
on
the
YouTube
channel,
watching
it
on
YouTube.
I
do
not
have
the
address
for
that
I'm
wondering
if
someone
else
the
panelist,
maybe
Avalon
you
have
that
for
people
I
do.
B
D
A
B
B
F
Mr.
brown,
hello,
my
name
is
Dwight
brown,
I
am
senior
technology
specialist
for
Burlington
school
district,
I'm,
also

chair
for
asked
me.
Local
1343
and
my
members
include
property
services,
people
which
are
custodial
people,

workers,
bus
drivers.
We
also
represent
our
food
service
workers
and
we're
very
and
our
IT
department,
its
IT
specialist
and
I'm
happy
to
be
here.
The
collaboration
has
been
fantastic.
Our
new
superintendent
is
a
superstar
and
we're
trying
to
do
this
safely
and
we're
doing
it
together
and
thank
you
for
being
here.
Everybody.
B
Thank
you
and
I.
Thank
you
both
for
being
here
and
just
to
reiterate,
the
importance
of
our
collaboration
I
feel
that
it
is
extremely
important
that
we
are
working
together
and
to
mr.
Stiles
and
mr.
Brown
I
just
want
to
really
thank
you
for
welcoming
me
to
the
district
and
for
just
jumping
right
in
and
getting
me
up
to,
speed
and
being
so
willing
to
work
together
to
make
this
the
best
possible
opening.
It
could
be
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
introduce
I'm,
actually
gonna
ask
everybody
on
the
panel
to
introduce
them.
B
So
so
we
we
have
a
number.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
viewing
tonight
and
then
we
also
have
a
number
of
people
who
have
been
instrumental
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
who
are
on
the
call
and
we
want
to.
Obviously
there
are
many
many
many
people
working
on
this
right
now,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
meet.
Everybody
meet
the
folks
that
are
on
the
panel,
so
everyone's
gonna
go
around.
If
you
would
just
introduce
yourself
please
thank
you.
G
H
I
J
Hi,
I'm
zi
anderson
brown,
the
director
of
human
resources
for
the
Burlington
school
district
I,
do
want
to
thank
everybody
for
attending
today
and
together
we
can
conquer
this.
This
is
new
on
charter
territory
and
I
appreciate
the
diverse
partnership
that
we
have
to
try
to
do
this
big
left.
Thank
you.
C
L
A
Did
we
get
everybody
yeah
Tom,
it's
Victor
again,
I'm
just
coming
back
on
to
let
everyone
know
that
I'm
gonna
monitor
the
chat
on
YouTube
and
Avalon
will
monitor
the
chat
on
Zoom
so
we'll
get
to
questions
regardless.
What
platform
this
is
on?
There
is
a
slight
delay
just
so
you
know
Tom
when
you
speak
on
YouTube.
It
appears
like
10
seconds
later,
okay,
so
it's
sort
of
weird
for
me,
I'm,
just
letting
you
know
that
okay.
B
Thank
you
very
much
Victor
and
thank
you
for
keeping
your
your
eye
on
that
for
us.
So
the
purpose
for
tonight
again
just
to
reiterate,
is
to
explain
our
process
where
we
are
in
the
planning
and
what
we've
done
up
to
this
point
so
go
through
the
family
survey
and
to
make
sure
that
you
all
have
a
clear
understanding
of
the
results
of
the
survey
that
we
put
out
on.
B
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
we
are.
We
are
aligning
our
work.
I
have
a
100
day,
entry
plan
that
I've
put
out
to
the
community
that
highlights
a
number
of
activities
that
we're
gonna
do
together
in
the
first
100
days,
and
that
plan
is
around
three
key
areas
of
equity,
engagement
and
deep
learning,
and
so
you
will
see
in
this
plan
and
as
we
are
planning
here
for
reopening
we
are
being
mindful
and
and
of
equity
engagement
and
deep
learning
and
that's
driving
our
work
together.
B
B
B
We
also
will
ensure
that
we're
building
social
and
emotional
learning
in
the
work
that
we
do,
because
we
know
that
being
away
from
school
is
not
easy
and
coming
back
is
also
a
difficult
transition.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
will
be
making
sure
that
we're
spending
time
it's
attending
to
the
social
and
emotional
needs
of
our
famines
and
our
families
and
our
staff
excuse
me
and
we
will
also
ensure
specialized
services.
B
B
We
have
a
task
force
that
has
multiple
work
groups
and
we
have
rep
presentation
from
all
different
all
different
groups
within
within
our
work
groups.
We
we
put
the
survey
out
we're
doing
town
halls.
Now
we
really
want
to
ensure
that
we're
engaging
so
right
when
I
came
in
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
got
a
survey
out
immediately
to
hear
what
was
going
on.
B
B
There
is
some
discussion
about
perhaps
moving
the
that
those
days
back
across
the
regional
superintendents
to
provide
a
little
more
time
for
planning,
and
we
will
be
in
constant
contact
with
you
if
there
are
any
changes
to
that.
Currently
decision
by
August
4th
ready
for
ready,
first
start
of
school
on
August
26th.
B
B
Are
we
preparing
students
to
be
successful
in
the
world
after
they
finish
in
Burlington
schools,
we're
gonna,
be
assessing
student
learning,
we're
gonna
be
building
plans
for
remote
and
in-person
learning
to
make
sure
that
both
are
part
of
this
plan,
because
we
know
that
we
are
gonna
need
to
do
some
of
both
in-person
and
remote
learning.
To
do
this,
we
are
ordering
computers,
computers
are
on
order
and
technology.
That's
not
all
computers.
B
That
is
something
that
has
actually
been
the
canova
major
pieces
of
connective
tissue
through
this
work
through
from
March
until
now,
and
so
that
will
continue.
However,
cafeterias
will
not
be
open
the
the
actual
cafeteria
space,
so
our
food
services,
mr.
Davis
and
his
team
are
a
great
team
and
they're
planning
on
making
sure
that
there
is
food
delivered
to
students
and
available
each
and
every
every
day
and
on
off
days.
B
B
This
is
going
to
be
a
big
issue
for
us
that
we
need
to
really
come
together
as
a
community
and
work
on,
because
it's
going
to
take
a
number
of
different
pieces
to
make
sure
we're
we're
able
to
get
students
into
school,
and
one
of
those
is
just
so
ensuring
in
any
way
possible
that
we're
using
different
modes
of
transportation,
whether
it
be
walking,
biking,
personal
family
vehicles
and
that's
going
to
be
a
big
piece
of
our
coordination
and
something
that
we're
gonna
really
have
to
work
together.
To
make
sure
that
we
accomplish.
B
Mrs.
McRae
is
going
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later,
but
the
buildings
are
ready
with
separate
entrances.
So
we
can
do
those
health
screenings
as
we
come
in
identifying
any
physical
distance
barriers
that
are
needed,
making
sure
we
have
the
right
number
of
desks
in
the
right
shape
of
desks
so
that
we
can
practice
physical,
distancing
and
establishing
sanitation
and
washing
stations
and
then
also
our
facilities.
Property
management
team
are
working
hard.
Mr.
B
Spaulding
and
his
team
are
working
extremely
hard
to
make
sure
that
ventilation
and
air
quality
standards
are
up
to
par,
so
that
air
quality
is
is
where
it
needs
to
be
in
our
in
our
school,
in
our
buildings
and
in
our
classrooms.
And
that
is
a
that's
a
really
important
piece
that
we're
working
around
the
clock
on.
B
So
at
this
point,
I'm
gonna
kick
it
over
to
miss
McRae,
to
talk
about
health
and
safety,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
feel
like
we
are
in
a
good
place
to
reopen
in
person
this
this.
This
fall
and
I'll
reiterate
that
at
the
end-
and
the
reason
we
do
is
because
of
the
numbers
in
Vermont
and
because
of
the
work
this
team
has
done
to
get
ready.
It's
a
huge
lift.
We
need
everyone
involved,
but
we
do
believe
we
can
do
it
and
I
think
it's
a
little.
B
It's
been
challenging
the
past
couple
of
days.
We've
had
some
emails
and
and
just
people
feeling
a
lot
of
anxiety
and
and
understandably
about
this
about
this,
but
I
have
three
daughters
that
we'll
all
be
going
to
the
schools.
My
daughters
are
gonna,
be
going,
are
gonna,
be
attending
school
and
and
I
feel
confident
that
we're
gonna
have
a
safe
environment
and
I.
Think
really.
B
If
we
look
at
the
national
news
less
around
this,
because
the
national
news
is
really
focusing
on
states
that
are
kind
of
that
have
spikes
are
you
know,
Florida,
Texas,
California
and
other
states?
Were
there
spikes,
but
we're
in
a
place,
that's
more
like
Denmark
and
Norway
and
Singapore,
where
we
can
learn
from
the
experiences
of
their
of
their
experiences
coming
back
to
the
school,
where
they
have
successfully
come
back
to
school
in
areas
where
the
the
disease
has
not
been
as
as
prevalent
and
has
been
better
managed,
so
miss
McRae?
L
L
Superintendent
Flanagan
also
asked
me
to
share
with
you
that
not
only
am
I
involved
in
our
district
as
a
school
nurse,
but
I
am
also
the
president-elect
of
the
Vermont
state
school
Nurses
Association,
and
my
work
in
that
nonprofit
has
been
very
close
with
dr.
Brina
Holmes
who's,
the
director
of
maternal
and
child
health
at
the
Vermont
Department
of
Health
and
our
work
throughout
the
spring,
aided
dr.
L
Holmes,
in
helping
to
man
the
task
force
that
the
guidelines
that
we
are
now
following
came
out
of,
and
so
we
I
was
on
the
team
that
helped
to
review
those
guidelines
before
they
became
official
and
based
on
what
I've
been
hearing
and
the
knowledge
that
we
have
of
the
Vermont
Public
Health
and
contact
tracing
system.
I
truly
feel
as
a
nurse
that
it
is
in
our
best
interest
to
have
in-person
learning
and
that
we
can
do
this
in
a
safe
and
healthy
way.
L
If
we
all
work
together,
as
superintendent
Flanagan
has
said,
the
guidelines
that
we
are
following
do
their
very
best
to
keep
us
safe
and
healthy,
and
we
as
a
district,
will
be
making
our
decisions
based
on
those
guidelines,
and
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
will
be
doing
to
ensure
the
health
and
safety
of
everyone
in
the
building.
So
we
will
be
doing
a
temperature
screening
and
a
daily
health
check
for
students
before
they
enter
the
building
to
ensure
that
everyone
in
our
building
is
safe
and
healthy
people
will
be
wearing
cloth.
L
Facial
coverings,
we'll
have
frequent
hand-washing
throughout
the
day,
and
things
in
the
room
and
materials
in
the
room
will
be
cleaned
regularly,
we'll
also
be
following
any
Vermont
Department
of
Health
protocols.
If
there
is
a
kovat
case
in
our
community
and
we'll
be
working
very
closely
with
the
public
health
department
in
contact
tracing
events,
we
also
are
going
to
limit
visitors
and
volunteers
so
that
we
really
are
only
having
the
necessary
people
in
our
buildings
for
learning
to
happen.
L
We'll
also
be
trying
to
use
a
pod
system
where
we
will
have
hopefully
limited
contact
between
a
large
number
of
people
at
any
given
time.
Keeping
the
classes
together
and
in
the
same
group
of
students
and
teachers
will
ensure
that
everyone's
health
is
intact,
but
also
that
we
can
have
a
clear
system
of
contact
tracing.
L
We
also
have
a
lot
of
guidelines
around
the
space
between
students
and
what
we
can
do
within
a
classroom
so
that
we
are
ensuring
social
distancing,
which
is
actually
a
term
for
physical
distance
apart.
So
that's
the
six
feet
apart
from
people,
it
is
not
implying
that
you
should
not
be
social.
It
is
just
a
term
for
physical
distancing.
B
A
Hi
everybody,
so
this
survey
was
completed
by
about
70%
of
Branton
School
District
families,
which
was
I,
would
say
quite
a
high
return
rate.
We
asked
a
series
of
questions,
we're
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
them
in
this
slide.
Here
it
was
asking
you
if
we
were
to
go
open
up
schools
five
days
a
week
having
the
safety
precautions
in
place.
That
are
the
ones
that
make
a
lot
of
sense,
including
masks,
setting
up
other
things
in
our
school.
Would
you
be
comfortable,
sending
your
kids
to
school
like?
A
Then
we
asked
a
similar
question,
but
if
we
staggered
our
schedules
so
that
only
about
half
the
number
of
students
were
in
school
at
any
one
time
to
allow
for
better
significant
or
more
significant
physical
distancing,
how
likely
would
you
be
send
your
students
so
the
same
health
precautions
in
place
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
very
likely
and
likely
jumped
up
to
78%
and
the
unlikely
very
unlikely
fell
to
7%,
and
so
that
was
sort
of
telling
to
us.
I've
had
we've
all
received
a
fair
number
of
comments
from
folks
saying
that?
A
Well,
that's
not
the
question
I
would
have
wanted
asked
I'd
like
to
tell
you,
which
is
my
favorite
one
that
was
delivered
on
our
part.
We
weren't
looking
for
a
vote
system
we're
trying
to
think
about
what
is
the
most
equitable
system
we
can
put
in
place
to
give
the
maximum
number
of
students
a
robust
education.
A
And
then
we
asked
a
question
of
an
ampm
schedule
and
you
can
see
from
this.
The
numbers
just
started
to
shift
all
over
the
place,
so
we've
basically
taken
that
one
off
the
table
there's
also
so
many
transportation
and
cleaning
issues
involved
on
that
as
well.
We
just
really
feel
that's
not
a
prudent
one
for
us
to
take.
A
I'm,
sorry,
so
that
would
mean
you're.
We
would
send
students
to
school,
you'd,
send
students
to
school
every
day
and
then
half
of
them
would
come
in
the
morning
at
some
point
in
the
day,
maybe
11:30
they
leave.
We
would
have
to
do
some
pretty
quick
and
thorough
cleaning
and
another
group
would
come
in
and
we
would
do
that
up
to
five
days
a
week
that
becomes.
F
A
Huge
hugely
problematic
around
transportation,
particularly
any
public
transportation,
the
cleaning
aspect
giving
teachers
time
to
have
their
lunch.
Some
contractual
issues
around
that,
as
well
as
in
preparation
time,
so
it
just.
We
really
felt
that
that
would
not
create
a
smooth,
robust
transition
for
students
back
to
school.
A
Then,
when
we
talked
about
the
alternating
day's
schedule-
and
so
some
people
call
that
an
a
day,
bday
schedule
a
blue-white
day
schedule,
so
there's
many
iterations
of
that,
but
just
for
example
purposes
only
let's
say
my
daughter
goes
to
school,
Monday
and
Wednesday,
and
someone
else's
child
goes
to
school
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays.
And
then
maybe
we
either
do
remote
learning
on
Fridays,
or
we
alternate
that
Friday
day.
What
became
very
clear
from
families
is
that
if
we're
gonna
go
to
this
model,
the
day's
themselves
have
to
be
fixed
as
much
as
possible.
B
Thank
you
so,
based
on
the
survey,
these
are
our.
These
are
our
current
recommendations
and
decisions
and
again
the
the
final
decision
is
not
made,
and
we
want
to
hear
from
you
tonight.
We
are
using
the
survey
as
feedback
again
as
Victor
said,
it's
not
a
vote,
but
it's
really
important
to
us
what
you
like,
what
you
feel
comfortable
with
and
what
you
prefer
and
also
what
our
staff
are
comfortable
with
them
and
prefer,
and
our
staff
feedback
I
think
it's
important
to
know
and
we're
doing
a
town
hall
for
staff
tomorrow
night.
B
B
We
are
going
to
meet
the
current
health
guidelines
and
follow
the
agency
of
Education
guidance
for
step
two,
so
the
agency
of
Education
put
out
guidance
on
or
earlier
in
the
summer
and
then
revised
the
guidance
on
June
17th,
so
yeah,
June
17th,
and
that's
on
the
that's
on
the
website
for
anybody
to
see
and
what
the
Vermont
Agency
of
Education
has
asked
us
to
do
across
the
state
is
to
open
it
at
step.
Two.
B
So
that's
what
we're
planning
to
do
we're
planning
to
continue
on
that
path
and
also
just
keep
really
close
eye
on
the
health
guy
current
health
guidelines
coming
out
from
the
Department
of
Health
and
and
from
the
agency
of
Education.
So
currently
we're
planning,
there's
a
there's,
a
question
here:
do
we
open
pre-k
and
elementary
schools
in
full,
meaning
all
students
are
coming
back
to
school
or
in
an
alternating
day,
schedule
our
middle
schools?
B
It's
pretty
clear
need
to
have
an
alternating
day
schedule
with
students
in
pods
it's
much
easier
to
have
really
small
pods
in
middle
school.
High
schools
also
are
gonna,
most
likely
need
to
start
on
an
alternating
day
schedule
and
that's
going
to
be
in
alignment
with
regional
high
school.
So
the
high
regional
high
school
principals
have
been
also
meeting
regularly
as
I've
been
meeting
with
the
regional
superintendents,
and
we
are
trying
to
get
to
alignment
across
the
region
and
I,
don't
think
we're
far
off
I.
B
Think
many
of
our
partners
across
the
region
are
in
similar
places.
I
know
they
are,
and
so
that's
important
and
I
think
that
will
help
as
we
as
we
do
our
planning
as
we
work
through
this
together
as
a
community
in
in
Burlington
and
Chittenden
County
and
in
the
region,
we
may
need
to
stag
we
so
so
high
school.
It
would
also
be
an
alternating
schedule
with
pods
that
would
need
to
most
likely
be
a
little
bit
bigger
because
of
the
amount
of
different
kinds
of
classes
that
students
need
to
take
at
high
school.
B
So
it
at
this
point
we
are
going
to
open
it
up
to
two
questions
and
we
Avalon
at
Styles.
Ashley
is
going
to
moderate
for
us
and
she
will
be
reading
the
questions
and
Vic
Victor
or
Avalon.
Can
you
give
a
another
quick
update,
because
I
know
we
weren't
able
to
update
the
slide
for
public
view?
So,
can
you
give
an
update
on
how
to
ask
the
question
and
what
we
will
do
if
we
are
not
able
to
get
through
all
of
the
questions
sure.
A
So
I'm
gonna
probably
be
the
one
who
who
who
basically
shares
the
question
with
you,
Tom,
okay
and
which
everyone
will
hear
and
then
you'll
start
with
responding
to
it
or
hand
it
off
to
one
of
the
panelists
any
questions
that
we
don't
get
to
and
is
going
to
be
many
we're,
not
you're
asking
some
really
great
questions
here,
and
it's
not
that
we
don't
want
to
answer
them.
It's
just
we
can't
get
to
all
of
them.
A
You
I
have
to
look
that
up.
I.
Have
it
in
front
of
me.
Yes,
you
can
also,
after
this
session
is
over,
or
some
of
you
have
said,
on
the
YouTube
channel,
you're
limited
to
200,
I,
think
characters
which
really
should
be
enough
for
a
good
question,
but
nonetheless
BSD
reopening
at
BSD,
VT
org,
so
BSD
Burlington,
school
district,
reopening
at
BSD,
BSD,
BT
org,
and
we
will
respond
to
those
questions
and
it
doesn't
have
to
happen
tonight.
You
could
send
those
questions
tomorrow,
the
next
day
for
that
matter,.
A
B
Are
considering
a
fully
remote
option
for
families?
Yes,
we
still
have
to
work
out
some
of
the
details
of
that,
and
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
how
many
staff
we
have
who
will
be
able
to
provide
instruction
in
a
remote
and
remotely,
but
that
is
something
that
we
are
definitely
planning
for
right
now,.
B
Almost
all
elementary
school
students
will
be
required
to
wear
masks,
but
there
are
some
students
for
whom
the
mask
is
not
is
not
an
option,
and
so
for
various
reasons,
and
so
we
will
have.
We
have
other
ways
of
providing
providing
coverage
so
through
shields
and
other
other
types
of
approved
methods
of
providing
protection.
B
There
I
also
I,
didn't
say
this
earlier,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
people
and
people
here
that
we
we
are
currently
running
summer
school
right
now,
so
I've
been
to
school
I've
been
to
visit
the
programs
at
our
schools,
and
we
have
programs
running
at
a
number
of
our
schools
right
now
and
students
are
wearing
masks.
It's
it's
warm.
B
They
don't
love
the
masks,
but
they
understand
and
I
sat
with
a
group
of
students
today
at
a
distance,
and
they
shared
with
me
what
they
were
thinking
about
the
school
year
and
so
I
think,
as
the
school
year
gets,
closer
students
are
feeling
a
little
bit.
They
want
to
get
back
to
school
and
and
I
think
they're,
a
little
nervous,
so
I
think
that's
part
of
our
our
staying,
calm
and
being
and
being
grounding.
A
B
Remember
the
exact
numbers
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
there's
a
general
feeling
among
staff
and
I'm
gonna.
Ask
if
mr.
Stiles
could
weigh
in
here
as
well,
if
you're,
okay
with
that
Andrew
and
give
us
and
give
us
an
update
on
kind
of
his
thinking
around
this.
But
generally
speaking,
the
the
numbers
were
pretty
close
between
the
family
and
the
responses
between
the
family
and
the
staff
surveys.
F
F
Who
say
this
there's
similar
numbers
with
support
staff
they
want,
they
want
school
to
be
open,
they
they
tend
to
lean
toward
the
a
B,
because
a
lot
of
my
constituents
are
concerned
about
the
cleaning
less
you
Illustrated
Tom
and
in
the
other,
challenges
around
the
first
option.
So
our
support
staffs
are
ready
to
go
and
they're,
leaning
more
towards
the
AV
selection
as
well.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you.
Do
I
and
I
wonder
if
mr.
wrestle
Guinea
or
Miss
Johnson,
Aiden
I,
don't
know
if
I
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
It's
okay!
If
you
don't,
if
you
can't
answer
this
one
yeah
but
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
sense
from
your
staff
or
if
you've
talked
to
staff,
any
anecdotal
information
you
have
about
coming
back.
G
Okay,
I
certainly
am
able
to
jump
in
so
the
folks
that
I
have
been
in
contact
with,
for
the
most
part,
I
wanted.
My
teachers
and
I
think
all
elementary
school
principals
felt
the
same
way
that
we
wanted
our
teachers
to
be
able
to
take
a
step
back
from
what
was
a
really
intense
few
months,
specifically
told
them.
G
All
the
other
elementary
schools
have
a
committee
or
a
team
that
are
working
specifically
on
social,
emotional
wellness
of
bringing
students
back
from
the
elementary
school
from
being
on
this
break,
they're
all
very
committed
to
doing
their
best
work,
enthusiastic
and
hopeful,
and
also,
at
the
same
time,
making
sure
that
we're
just
paying
attention
to
how
things
are
going
in
the
community.
But
I
think
hopeful
is
probably
the
best
word
to
describe
how
people
are
feeling
I.
A
Sorry
I
forgot,
you
muted
me
thank
you
for
doing
that.
Send
a
couple
questions
here,
there's
a
series
of
questions
and
this
might
be
better
for
Becca
to
respond
to
but
start
with
you
Tom
around.
If
we
were
to
have
somebody
in
the
school
test,
positive,
so
somebody's
not
feeling
well
their
home,
they
get
a
test.
They
get
sent
home
staff
or
student.
What
does
that
do
for
the
pod
that
that
student
or
staff
was
in
that's.
B
L
So
if
someone
comes
to
school
with
kovat
like
symptoms,
they
will
be
sent
home
and
asked
to
go
to
their
primary
care
provider.
The
primary
care
provider
would
then
conduct
an
evaluation,
and
if
someone
needed
to
be
tested,
they
would
be
tested
in
that
primary
care
office.
If
the
tests
came
back
positive,
then
the
Vermont
Department
of
Health
would
call
the
school
nurse
at
the
school
to.
L
Let
us
know
that
we
have
a
positive
case
in
our
school
and
then
they
would
be
asking
us
for
detailed
class
lists
and
seat
assignments
and
so
that
they
could
conduct
contact
tracing
around
who
that
individual
might
be
sitting
next
to
or
closest
to,
and
the
Vermont
Department
of
Health
Public
Health
Department
would
then
give
us
guidance
on
who
needed
to
be
checked
out
by
their
primary
care
providers,
who
needs
to
be
isolated.
Who
can
come
back
to
school,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
every
child
in
the
school
has
to
be
isolate.
A
Okay,
Tom,
one
of
your
three
priorities
is
equity.
What
challenges
do
you
foresee
and
what
are
your
plans
to
adjust
these
challenges
and
then
there's
a
follow-up
question,
which
is
a
misunderstanding?
So
if
you
could
clarify
this
time,
my
understanding
is
that
new
American
families
were
not
included
in
the
survey.
B
Excuse
me,
English
learners,
director,
we've
been
extremely
extremely
help
happy
to
have
them
and
really
been
leaning
on
them
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
as
much
access
as
possible.
We
have
translated
and
interpreted
every
document
that
I've
put
out
since
I've
been
here.
What
was
the
second
question?
Victor
well,.
A
B
The
biggest
the
biggest
equity
challenge
is
around
the
expanding
of
the
opportunity
gap.
So
when
students
are
away
from
school,
they
are
not
getting
the
learning
that
they
need,
and
so
what
we
know
is
that
we,
the
students
who
need
us,
the
most,
don't
have
us
when
we're
in
remote
learning
situations.
B
So
deep,
rigorous
learning,
where
we
have
high
expectations
and
high
belief
for
what
every
single
student
in
our
district
can
do
is
core
to
how
we're
going
to
eliminate
the
opportunity
gap,
and
we
need
to
be
serious
about
that
and
not
by
having
low
expectations
and
not
by
under
teaching
or
on
you
know,
all
the
things
that
can
happen
when
we,
when
we,
when
we
don't
believe
in
our
and
our
students,
I,
think
that's
a
that.
We
we,
the
the
reason
I
want
to
get
back
to
school.
A
Okay,
there
are
series
of
questions
so
I'm,
just
gonna
paraphrase
and
they're
all
about
air
quality
in
our
schools.
Eight
back
HVAC
system
Sam
were
talking
about
specific
schools
that
have
had
less
updating
than
others.
Could
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we've
been
thinking
through
some
of
that
sure.
B
K
I
think
that's
exactly
exactly
right,
something
that
we're
looking
at
the
various
options
that
we
can
put
in
place
particularly
put
in
place
on
relatively
short
construction
timeline.
Folks
may
be
familiar
with
the
fact
that
part
of
the
legislation
passed
in
montpelier
statewide
dedicated
about
six
and
a
half
million
dollars
toward
HVAC
upgrades
statewide
for
schools
and
through
a
competitive
grant
process.
We
think
we're
well
positioned
to
make
a
really
strong
application
partnering
with
Burlington
Electric,
to
take
that
on
so
we're
hopeful
that
we
will
have
some
extra
funding
to
make
some
additional
investments.
K
But
again
that's
a
statewide
figure.
We
could
easily
spend
six
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
Burlington
alone,
so
not
going
to
meet
all
of
the
ideas
that
we
could
come
up
with,
so
we're
continuing
to
explore
options
both
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do
to
physically
upgrade
those
systems
or
to
add
whether
they're
central
upgrades
centrally
or
whether
they're
adding
you
know
room
specific
improvements,
because
we
do
have
some
rooms
that
have
less
access
to
kind
of.
K
You
know
the
ventilation
levels
that
we
would
like
and
we're
also
exploring
opportunities,
particularly
for
the
fall
with
affording
more
opportunity
for
actual
outdoor
learning.
So
one
of
the
best
ways
to
improve
you
know,
access
to
fresh
air
is
to
actually
be
doing
some
of
the
learning
outside.
So
we're
looking
at
that
as
well.
A
There
are
a
series
of
questions
that
have
summer
school,
specific
and
and
some
are
not
when
I
say
school,
specific,
Elementary
versus
middle
versus
high
school,
but
a
bunch
of
them
have
to
deal
with
things
like
team
sports,
after-school
activities
drama
those
types
of
things
that
we
do
a
really
great
job
with,
but
those
happen
after
the
school
day.
What
is
our
thinking
at
this
point
around
those.
B
B
We
are
planning
on
having
sports
and
act
in
activities
that
and
and
drama
and
and
other
art,
clubs
and
and
sort
of
everything
we
have
I
know
this.
This.
The
an
important
part
of
the
community
is
what
happens
not
just
during
the
school
day
but
after
school,
and
so
that's
something
that's
deeply
valued
by
the
community.
I
share
that
that
value,
and
so
we
we
are
gonna,
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
make
sure
that
those
activities
continue.
However,
we
do
need
to
be
aware
of
the
public
health
guidance
around
wind
instruments,
particularly
inquire.
B
There
are
some
specific
requirements
that
we
are
going
to
need
to
abide
by,
that
are
that
are
changing
slightly
as
they
day-to-day,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
following
the
guidelines
around
those
more
higher
risk
activities
because
of
the
spread
of
of
of
in
the
air
and
they
and
the
eros
eros.
All
of
the
of
the
you
know
the
the
molecules
that
go
out
there,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we're
paying
attention
to
that
very
carefully.
B
We
also
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
paying
attention
to
the
groups
of
students
that
are
together
at
at
any
given
time
and
throughout
the
day
and
week.
So
as
we
need
to
really
figure
out-
and
we
are
working
on
this-
we
are
working
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
keep
the
same
group
of
students
together
as
much
as
possible
that
that
is
that
pod
that
you
hear
about
and
then
the
pod
doesn't
have
a
specific
number.
But
the
idea
is
that,
if
you
can
it
helps
with
contact
tracing.
B
H
Add
to
that
at
least
for
the
elementary
we
are
planning
to
do
after
school,
so
that
will
exist
and
that's
pretty
important
for
a
lot
of
parents.
I
know
so
we're
working
on
that
and
khrysta
gillece
is
leading
that
effort
and
has
done
a
great
job
this
summer,
so
I
think
we'll
be
in
good
shape
as
it
relates
to
after
school
and.
A
I'll,
just
piggyback
on
that,
the
thinking
right
now
is
to
do
that
within
pods
as
much
as
possible.
So
if
a
child
is
in
a
homeroom
with
Andrew
Styles
who's
on
this
call
and
as
a
fifth
grade
teacher,
so
there's
seven
kids,
maybe
her
doing
after
school.
The
thinking
is:
that's
the
after-school
pod,
those
seven
students
that
might
shift
a
little
bit,
but
that's
our
thinking
right
now.
It
keeps
us
being
consistent.
So
there's
a
question
about
masks
so-
and
you
already
mentioned
this
Tom
that
you
know
the
majority
of
students
will
have
masks
on.
B
So
the
masks
will
be
in
class
when
students
are
distanced
in
class
and
when
they're
there
there
can
be
some
movement.
We
don't
want
school
to
be.
You
know
a
robotic
exercise
where
students
can't
move
around.
We
have
to.
We
have
to
allow
students
some
movement
right
during
the
day
so
but
but
they'll
be
in
masks
throughout
that
time,
and
the
guidance
is
from
the
from
the
agency
of
Education
is
that
we
maintain
a
six-foot
distance
to
the
extent
that
we
can,
to
the
extent
that's
possible.
B
So
in
terms
of
eating
with
the
students
are
not
going
to
have
their
masks
on
while
they're
eating,
and
so
that's
just
a
that's
sort
of
how
it
has
to
be
I
think,
but
we
will
make
sure
and
maybe
miss
McCrae
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
help
help
me
out
on
on
this
at
all,
but
we
also
were
going
to
have
outdoors.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
students
have
time
outside,
and
so
you
know
as
much
as
we
can
do.
L
If
this
means
that
we
need
to
think
about
different
spaces
for
half
the
class
to
eat
in
the
classroom
and
half
the
class
to
eat
in
another
space.
We
need
to.
These
are
all
good
things
that
we
need
to
think
about,
but
we're
doing
our
best
to
work
through
all
these
questions,
looking
at
the
guidance
and
then
trying
to
figure
out
with
our
best
critical
thinking,
skills
how
to
make
it
happen.
A
Okay,
there's
a
series
of
questions
that
have
to
do
with
sort
of
the
shifting
landscape.
So
there's
questions
around
if
things
are
changing
in
Vermont,
because
right
now
in
Vermont,
we're
doing
really
really
well
I'm
happen,
most
of
the
time
other
than
our
initial
really
harrowing
stuff
that
happened
in
March.
So
if
things
should
shift,
who
determines
that
it's
time
to
rethink
the
model
that
we
might
be
using?
So
that's
a
sort
of
general
thing
about
so
where
are
we
getting
our
information
from
who
directs?
A
B
I
think
that
I
appreciate
that
question,
because
it's
it's
a
part
of
the
planning
that
we've
been
doing
so
back
in
back
in
May
I
Mr
Lavery,
miss
Anderson
Brown
were
leading
on
this
task
force.
Work
and
I
asked
them
to
really
think
about
different
scenarios
and
being
ready
to
flex
between
different
scenarios.
At
the
drop
of
a
hat,
we
have
to
be
ready
at
an
individual
school
level
at
an
individual
classroom
level
at
a
district
level
to
say,
hey
we're
in
a
good
place.
B
We
may
be
able
to
move
to
two
full
in-person
or
where
we
we
have.
We
have
a
concern
and
we
need
to
drop
back
to
all
online,
all
virtual
those
are,
though
we
we
mapped
out
those
those
options
early
so
that
we
know
how
to
flex
in
between
those
options
and
that's
going
to
be
a
really
important
part
of
what
we
do
and
a
part
of
this
equity
imperative
to
not
lose
learning
time
and
to
make
sure
that
learning
time
when
students
are
home
is
meaningful
and
I
know
it's
hard.
B
It
creates
a
responsibility
for
all
of
us
in
a
different
way
than
when
students
are
in
school,
but
it's
it's.
It's
critical,
so
I
think
that
we
so
we're
gonna
be
ready
to
pivot.
The
state
will
give
us
the
the
the
step
that
we're
in
so
there
are
three
steps,
and
so
they'll
say
you're
in
step
two
to
start,
but
you
can
fit.
B
A
Are
a
series
of
questions
about
the
idea
of
an
a/b
schedule
and
essentially,
what's
being
asked,
I
believe
and
I've
had
this
conversation
with
a
fair
number
of
families?
So
let's
say
I
have
a
student
at
an
elementary
school
and
a
student
at
the
middle
school,
or
maybe
even
a
student
at
elementary
middle
and
high
as
a
few
families
have.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
get
people
on
the
same
ad
schedule,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
some
transportation
and
childcare
for
the
youngest
kid?
Oh.
B
Yeah
we
are
gonna
have
to
do
the
best
we
possibly
can
to
coordinate
those
schedules
so
that
first
students,
if
we
did
an
alternating
day
schedule,
would
go
to
school
on
the
same
days
so
that
we
wouldn't
ask
families
to
go
from
Monday
Wednesday
on
one
week
to
Tuesday
Thursday
on
the
next
week,
that
just
doesn't
sound,
feasible
and
and
it
doesn't
allow
people
to
plan
their
lives
accordingly.
So
yeah
we
yes,
we
will.
B
We
will
make
sure
that
student
that
that
there's
that
there's
alignment
there
we
have
there's
a
lot
to
think
about,
and
so
it's
gonna
also
require
looking
at
our
students
and
our
families
at
the
school
level.
So
this
is
where
we're
gonna
we're
gonna.
Really.
You
know
the
principles
are
work.
The
principles
don't
technically
work
throughout
July
and
they've
been
working
every
single
day,
all
day,
Angela
throughout
July,
which
I
have
great
gratitude
to
them.
B
Gonna
have
a
daughter
in
middle
school
and
two
daughters
in
elementary
school,
and
you
know
we're
gonna
have
to
we're.
Gonna
have
to
learn
about
how
families
want
us
to
think
about
that
and
we're
gonna
have
to
schedule
and
make
the
best
decisions
that
we
can.
But
we
also
do
want
to
get
feedback
and
I
really
do
think.
It's
an
important
decision.
B
G
Tom
I
think
you
nailed
it.
There's
there's
a
million
details
to
discuss
about
every
aspect
about
bringing
students
back
and
we
certainly
have
been
committed
to
planning
for
each
one,
including
the
options.
If
we
have
to
go
back
to
distance
learning
and
trying
to
get
our
teachers
prepared
to
do
their
best
possible
work
if
we
have
to
go
to
distance
learning.
A
A
B
Miss
khaleesi
christie,
glacis
lee
is,
is
leading
much
of
that
work,
as
well
as
Laura
Nugent
on
the
extended
school
year,
and
so
what
we're
hearing
is
generally
positive
experiences
really
I'm,
seeing
really
upbeat
students
and
families
in
classrooms.
Each
you
know,
throughout
the
schools,
where
we're
offering
summer
programming
and
also
opportunities
for
students
to
get
breaks
and
get
outside
I
just
think
we're
learning
so
much
about
how
to
do
this.
B
In
the
summer,
we've
learned
about
health
checks,
so
one
of
the
things
we
weren't
sure
about
was
how
long
it
was
gonna
take
to
do
a
health
check,
and
we
learned
that
it
took
five
minutes.
Each
student
in
the
first
couple
of
days
of
the
summer
programming
and
now
we're
down
to
about
one
minute
per
student,
and
maybe
that
was
a
few
days
ago-
maybe
we're
getting
a
little
faster
than
that
even
but
we're
worried
we're
learning
through
this
process
and
so
I
think
health.
We're
learning
so
much.
B
There's
there
about
how
to
do
this
through
the
summer
programs
and
I
would
say.
Health
screenings
are
a
big
piece
of
it
and
just
learning
about
the
the
little
as
Joe
said,
the
details,
every
single
step,
you're
taking
you
have
to
think
about
different.
So
this
requires
us
to
change
the
way,
we're
thinking
about
how
school
works,
but
when
you
walk
in
it
looks
like
school
kids
are
in
are
in
classes,
teachers
are
teaching,
students
are
learning
and
and
they're
they
want
to
share
and
talk,
and
so
it's
it's.
B
E
It's
been
reduced
for
that
and
they're
also
starting
to
provide
a
lot
of
feedback
about
things
that
work
and
did
not
work
mm-hmm
that
we
need
to
take
into
consideration
for
next
year,
and
those
are
things
from
you
know
exactly
how
to
keep
students
separated
the
way
to
have
students
coming
into
the
building
and
kind
of
the
way
to
speed
up
health
checks
and
also
kind
of
keep
a
sorry
about
all
those
things
at
night
and
hey.
Why
are
you
saying.
B
E
B
Thank
you,
yeah
and
I
know.
We
know
it's
not
perfect.
We
are
learning
as
we're
going,
but
and
and
teachers
are
doing
an
amazing
job.
I'm
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
making
this
up
right
now,
I've
been
really
impressed
with
the
work
that's
happening
over
the
summer.
I
know
people
are
committed,
I
know
there
are
things
that
people
are
concerned
about
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
address,
and
those
are
the
things
that
we're
learning
about
as
whereas
we're
experiencing
this
together.
Mr.
Brown
I,
don't
know
if
you
had
any
any
feedback
on
summer
summer.
F
Well,
I
went
to
a
couple
of
classrooms
today
doing
my
my
work
as
a
tech,
specialist
and
the
kids
were
engaged
and
the
teachers
looked
committed.
Our
food
service
staff
are
working
hard.
I
just
want
to
just
stress
talk
about
them
for
a
minute.
What
a
group
of
people
how
they
performed
during
the
first
shutdown
they
gave
our
kids
three
meals
a
day
and
gave
him
enough
food
on
Fridays.
To
last
the
weekend,
I
mean
during
the
peak
of
this
pandemic.
We
used
those
systems
to
get
devices
to
families
who
didn't
have
one.
F
You
know,
because
we
were
in
kind
of
a
pinch
in
a
communication
thing,
so
we
used
those
systems
that
they
were
out
there
to
to
get
those
devices
to
families
that
were
coming
to
pick
up
food
which
worked
out
kind
of
great,
so
I
talked
to
some
of
our
custodial
staff
and
our
trade
staff
today,
and
things
are
working
out.
Teachers
had
some
requests
for
things
that
they
wanted
to
make
sure
their
they
were
safe
and,
and
those
things
happened
fairly
quickly.
F
A
Don't
think
I
did
that,
um
there's
questions
about
remote
learning
and
about
professional
development,
professional
learning
for
our
staff,
so
basically
the
idea
being
that
there's
we.
Yes,
we
pivoted
as
Dwight,
said
and
went
into
a
remote
period
of
time,
where
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time
to
prep
for
that
or
really
any
time
to
prep.
For
that.
B
So
I
mean
I
said
earlier:
our
teachers
I
sometimes
make
that
mistake
are
our
educators.
We
have
teachers,
paraprofessionals,
speech-language,
pathologists,
social
workers,
psychologists,
all
all
kinds
of
educators
in
the
building
to
support
our
work
and
and
I've
been
really
impressed
with
with
their
commitment
to
this
work,
and
we
need
to
invest
in
them.
B
It's
our
responsibility
as
a
district
to
say
that
you
know
we
see
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
sure
we
all
as
a
we
are
about
getting
better
together
right,
but
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
focusing
on
our
professional
learning,
because
it's
a
new
it's
a
new
world.
It
really
is
a
new
world
of
teaching
and
learning
that
we
were
thrust
into
immediately.
So
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
in
my
entry
plan
was
to
ask
our
executive
director
stephanie
phillips
of
teaching
she's
our
teaching
and
learning
executive
director.
B
I
George,
thank
you.
um
So
we
did
a
number
of
surveys
of
staff
throughout
the
initial
maintenance
of
learning
and
then,
when
we
went
into
continuity
of
learning
to
get
feedback
of
what
was
working
at
each
of
those
phase
and
what
were
the
challenges,
and
we
have
been
very
thoughtful
about
using
that
survey
data
we
were
able
to
put
out
to
teachers
right
the
last
week
of
school,
some
options
that
we
had
been
made
aware
of
for
online
professional
development
that
they
could
take
advantage
of
this
summer.
I
That
were
happening
from
various
vendors,
though
that
we
interact
with
on
a
regular
basis.
But
we've
been
spending
a
lot
of
time
this
summer.
Thinking
about
what
we
want
to
do
and
offer
our
students
sorry
offer
our
teachers
when
they
return,
so
that
they're
best
prepared
to
support
our
students.
So
our
in-service
plan
and
August
has
already
been
created
to
think
about
those
opportunities
for
professional
learning.
I
So
what
teachers
have
asked
for
as
it
relates
to
technology
and
how
to
use
specific
tools,
but
then
also
what
are
really
the
best
practices
for
using
those
tools
in
the
classroom.
So
we're
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
teachers
with
that
professional
learning
to
start
their
year.
I
Many
of
them
will
start
the
year
incorporating
some
of
these
new
tools
into
their
teaching
and
learning,
even
when
they
have
students
in
person
so
that
they
can
get
students
very
comfortable
with
the
technology
and
the
tools
and
also
themselves
as
teachers
providing
instruction.
We're
also
very
aware
that
one
of
the
things
that
teachers
asked
us
for
was
to
be
mindful
about
how
we
could
support
them
and
provide
professional
learning,
as
it
relates
to
supporting
the
social
emotional
needs
of
our
students.
I
We
know
that
by
the
time
we
return,
we
will
have
been
apart
for
more
than
five
months,
and
so
teachers
have
asked
us
to
be
really
mindful
about
that
in
our
professional
learning
and
we're
prepared
to
give
them
those
tools,
as
part
of
our
in
service
time
in
August
and
ongoing
throughout
the
first
few
months
of
school.
So
we're
really
trying
to
be
responsive
to
what
staff
have
asked
for
both
as
it
relates
to
professional
learning,
around
social,
emotional
needs
of
staff
and
students,
and
also
from
a
remote
learning
and
a
use
of
technology
tools.
B
Thank
you
and
I
would
just
say
this.
This
is
the
work
I
said
it
in
the
in
the
beginning:
I'm
really
serious
about
it.
We
we
are
about
student
learning
and
we
have
to
be
serious
about
this
work
and
to
do
it
we
have
to.
We
have
to
invest
in
our
in
our
educators
and
I
know.
Mr.
Stiles
and
I
have
talked
about
that
a
lot
and-
and
it's
just
really
really
it's
the
core
of
our
work,
and
so
we
have
to
really
prioritize
that
and
everything
that
we
do
feeds
into
that
I.
E
Add
too,
if
that's
okay
for
a
moment,
so
miss
Phillips
and
I
have
actually
had
quite
a
bit
of
discussions
about
how
this
is
going
to
look
when
we
start
up
the
school
year,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
prioritizing
making
sure
that
teachers
are
familiar
with
the
tools
that
they're
using
and
also
getting
some
work
on.
Best
practices
being
done
over
both
in
you
know,
both
in
person,
especially
over
remote
learning,.
B
We're
not
currently
planning
another
survey,
there's
a
there's,
a
fear
of
over
surveying
and
there's
a
there
which,
which
I
understand
right
now.
If
people
that
people
are
ready
to
take
a
survey
they
that
we
and
we
had
a
great
response
in
the
first
one.
So
I
understand
the
question
and
I
I
appreciate
the
question.
I.
Think
for
us,
it's
for
me
and
for
the
team.
B
B
So
there's
some
consistency
across
the
region
because
a
lot
of
our
teachers
and
families
cross
over
between
districts
and
so
as
much
as
there
can
be
some
alignment
there.
The
better
so
right
now
we're
not
currently
and
we're
not
currently
planning
to
send
out
another
survey,
but
I
would
be
open
to
it.
And
but
we
just
need
to
know
that
we've
got
a.
We
will
have
to
make
a
decision
soon
and.
A
B
A
Okay,
that
wasn't
that
wasn't
why
I
served
it
up,
but
that's
fine
I'm
happy
to
yes,
so
the
city
um
before
we
even
shut
down
schools,
the
city
asked
for
there
to
be
a
district
representative
to
a
department
heads
meeting
that
they
were
having
every
day
every
morning
at
8:30.
Obviously
the
focus
of
that
has
shifted
over
time.
A
A
We
have
been
coordinating
with
them
around
messaging,
particularly
around
coded
testing
that
you've
seen
probably
popping
up
all
over
town
we've
been
working
with
them
on
food
distribution
and
partnering,
with
the
libraries
around
that,
and
also
with
King
Street
Youth
Center,
and
a
toy
purveyor
out
of
Vergennes
Wow's
toys
where
we
distributed
toys
and
now
really
it's
more
of
the
nitty-gritty
of
them
asking
us.
What
do
we
need
from
them
or
in
general,
to
help
us
make
informed
decisions
of
how
to
reopen
and
what
resources
might
we
need?
A
So
you
know:
is
there
anything
around
transportation
like
bike
lanes
or
busing?
Other
alternative
swing
spaces?
Maybe
we
could
use
do
we
want
to?
Maybe
take
over
things
like
Burlington
City,
Arts,
Miller,
Center
I
mean
other
things
and
I
say
take
over.
This
is
a
cooperative
endeavor
here
like
would
that
help
us,
and
so
that
partnership
has
been
great
there's
some
new
opportunities
and
relationships
that
have
developed
there.
A
Tom
comes
to
those
meetings
periodically
and
obviously,
if
I'm
there
and
I'm
asked
a
question,
I
don't
know,
I
just
give
Tom
a
call
and-
and
he
jumps
on
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
that
I'm
Tom
before
you
wrap
up
I
just
want
to
say,
there's
a
tremendous
number
of
questions
really
great
questions.
We
didn't
even
get
to
all
the
topics
we
are
going
to
post
every
single
one
of
these
questions.
We
might
not
post
an
answer
to
every
single
one
right
away,
but
we
will
get
those
questions
out
there.
A
There
are
definitely
some
suggestions
around
making
sure
that
we
are
reaching
all
different
a
range
of
families.
Special
education
came
up.
Those
may
be
our
particular
needs.
Do
we
want
to
have
a
town
hall
just
for
families
of
students
who
receive
special
education
services?
There's
a
whole
lot
there
and
we
will
bring
this
back
to
our
whole
team
to
reflect
on
and
think
about
what
other
actions
do
we
need
to
take.
So
thank
you
for
those.
B
Thank
you
and
thanks
for
all
the
questions,
we
we
truly
appreciate
it
and
we
are
gonna,
look
at
each
and
every
one
of
those
questions
and
develop
an
FAQ
and
also
answer
as
many
of
the
questions
as
we
possibly
can.
We
may
need
to
group
some
I
haven't
actually
seen
them
so
I'm,
not
sure
the
number,
but
we
we
do
appreciate
the
the
feedback
and
the
outreach
and
the
questions
and
the
and
the
and
the
suggestions.
So
our
next
steps
here
are,
like
I,
just
said,
to
review
the
questions.
This
is
the
email.
B
B
I
mentioned
working
with
the
regional
superintendents
and
keeping
a
close
eye
on
the
AoE
guidance
and
any
updates
there,
and
also
the
Vermont
Department
of
Health
guidance
and
then
making
decisions
about
those
making
decisions.
So
we're
aiming
again
for
by
August
4th.
We
have
another
town
all
tomorrow
night,
that
is
designed
for
staff,
but
it's
open
to
the
public
and
so
it'll
be
a
similar
presentation
to
tonight,
and
then
the
questions
may
be
will
be
slightly
different.
But
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out.
Our
priorities
are
equity,
engagement
and
deep
learning.
B
We
truly
want
to
engage
with
you
engage
with
our
partners
and
make
this
the
decision
that
is
best
for
our
students
that
will
gets
our
students
back
to
school
safely
and
get
them
learning
and
and
get
us
back
together
as
a
community
in
a
safe
and
and
and
productive
fashion,
and
so
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
all
so
I've
received
a
lot.
A
number
of
emails
from
families
do
I
know
we're
on
the
call
tonight
and
others
and
I
just
want
to
really
thank
everybody
for
the
really
warm
welcome
that
I've
received.
B
I
didn't
expect
to
enter
into
my
first
superintendent
position
as
in
during
a
pandemic,
but
this
is
the
important
work
that
is
in
front
of
us
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it,
and
we
have
a
strong
team
to
help
build
the
plans
to
make
sure
we
open
safely,
and
we
owe
that
the
community
is
going
to
rally
around
us
and
work
together
as
a
team
to
make
sure
that
we
get
this
done
together
for
our
students.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
tuning
in
tonight,
again
we're
open
and
available.
B
So
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
to
engage
and
we
will
have
next
steps
that
that
come
out
of
this,
that
we
communicate
with
you
through
the
FAQ
through
the
website
and
through
the
also
weekly
communications,
we're
sending
out
we're
sending
out
a
weekly
communication
that,
hopefully,
everyone
is
receiving.
That's
a
letter
for
me
and
a
joint
letter
from
mr.
Stiles
and
mr.
Brown
and
updates
on
where
we
are
so
we'll,
be
continuing
to
send
those
out
and
being
present
on
social
media
and
all
those
things
too.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
