8/23/2021 School Board Briefings
Our BCSC School Board met for its second meeting of the month on Monday, August 23, 2021 at the BCSC Administration Building.
*To start things off, the School Board held Public hearings where the community had an opportunity to discuss the proposed 13 million dollar renovations to buildings throughout the school corporation and an additional appropriation. This will not result in any new property tax increase.
*Columbus North High School’s Stacy Doub was formally recognized for receiving the 2021 BCSC Teacher of The Year award. Stacy shared prepared remarks that led to many laughs, a few tears, and a standing ovation from the in-person crowd. After she received a plaque from Dr. Gina Pleak, BCSF’s Suzi Bruin and Angie Emmitt presented Stacy with a “big check” as an additional way to celebrate this award.
*Next, Dr. Roberts gave an update on COVID-19 case counts around BCSC, updated county-wide statistics that can be found on a weekly basis on COVID-19 Community Task Force website, and state-wide designations that can found on the CDC’s website and the Indiana Department of Health’s website.
*During public comments, 14 individuals spoke and the main topic of conversation was masks with a few offering suggestions on how to improve school board processes.
*After the public comment portion of the meeting, a list of NEOLA Policy Revision Recommendations was read for a first reading and will be presented again before any adoption takes place.
*The Board approved all Human Resources recommendations as well as a number of requests that can be found on this meeting’s agenda document for reference.
