May 13, 2020 — Meeting Transcript

This is a transcript of the Clayton School District Board of Education meeting held May 13, 2020 (recorded via livestream). Excerpts cover procedural opening items, discussion of the district budget and pandemic-related enrollment/staffing uncertainties, descriptions of remote learning (Google Classroom) from a high-school perspective, facility project concepts with preliminary cost estimates (e.g., about $800,000 for gender-neutral restroom conversions and about $1,000,000 for Black Box Theater renovations), and brief operational updates (absentee ballot deadline, upcoming county board check-in). The board made a motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.

The work looked a little different after about the middle of March or spring break, but we've been moving forward. We've been moving forward with that. And I think that we wanted to take some opportunities to focus on safety this year because I think next to teaching and learning, it's kind of one of the most important things we do, making sure that our students and staff are safe. As Sean mentioned earlier on in his comment, we did make a campaign promise when we were out campaigning for Proposition E back in April of 2019 that we would take some of those additional funds and we would really start looking at safety and security enhancements that we could put in place across the district. So this study kind of represents the first step of fulfilling that campaign promise and fulfilling our continued obligation to make sure that schools are as safe as they possibly can be for our students and staff I wanted to talk just a little bit and just set expectations for kind of this conversation It's going to be at a very high level, simply because, you know, we're because there's a lot of things related to safety within the district that we don't necessarily want to have to discuss in a public forum or post information up to board docs. Superintendent, Board of Education, Proposition O, levy, agenda, motion carried. We wanted to look kind of on just physical safety, but also just see where there were gaps in planning, training, and security.
