SPECIAL SCHOOL BOARD

MEETING

TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 2020

President Ron Aberle called the spe-

cial meeting to order at 5:00 pm.

Board members present Ron Aberle,

Dustin Mize, Daniel Tyler, Nicole

Wald and Stephanie Munos. Also,

present Superintendent Gerding,

Principal Hansen and Business

Manager Twila Gantzer. The

2020-2021 Distance Learning Plan

was presented. Mrs Hansen

highlighted some of the key points.

Distance learning is always an op-

tion for any family. Changing

between distance learning and face

to face learning can only be done at

the end of the semester. Teachers

will be teaching in the classroom

and will live stream as well so that

each student is getting the same les-

son. M/S/C Munos/Mize to approve

the Distance Learning Plan. The

2020-2021 Health & Safety Smart

Restart Plan was presented. For

high school students Monday &

Thursday students will meet for

periods 1, 3, 5, & 7; Thursday & Fri-

day students will meet for periods 2,

4, 6 & 7. Wednesday will be dis-

tance learning. This is hybrid learn-

ing with block schedules. For high

school student’s attendance will not

be tied to semester tests. Transpor-

tation: All rural routes will run. Masks

will be required for all students.

Families will be seated together

when possible. Running in town

busses will not be an option be-

cause of the cleaning that must be

done between runs. At this time the

school will not be checking tempera-

tures. M/S/C Munos/Tyler to ap-

prove the Health & Safety Smart

Restart Plan. Nicole Wald would like

to see the school open at 7:45am for

parents who need to be to work by

8am. Mrs Hansen & Mr Gerding will

try to put together a plan for that. If

there is a positive test within the

school the school would shut down

for 48 hours. If 2 or more positive

cases occur, then the school would

close for 14 days. The school would

receive guidance from the First Dis-

trict Health Unit. If school is closed

down meals could be picked up at

the school, but the student would be

charged for the meals. For students

who are distance learning they too

have the option to pick up meals at

the school. 2020-2021 School

Calendar: Mr Gerding would like to

move the start date back to August

20th to allow a few extra days to

better prepare teachers for the

school year. Mr Gerding noted that

those days would not have to be

made up. M/S/C Munos/Tyler to ap-

prove the August 20th start date.

Special Education Teacher: Mrs

Hansen is recommending hiring

Shelby Gantzer for the special edu-

cation teacher. She has an elemen-

tary education degree and recently

passed her Praxis test which would

allow qualify her for the position. The

position was advertised on

NDEdJobs and the school website

with no applicants. Mrs Hansen also

contacted MSU & Souris Valley

Special Services. Mrs Wald ex-

pressed her concern about lack of

support in the position, no experi-

ence and feels like the school is set-

ting her up for failure. Mrs Hansen

stated that Shelby has enrolled in

her master’s program. Mr Tyler feels

like the school has resources avail-

able to help her succeed in the posi-

tion. M/S/C Tyler/Mize to approve

the contract. Roll call vote, Aberle-Y,

Mize-Y, Munos-N, Tyler-Y, Wald-N.
