BOARD REPORTS, REQUESTS, AND COMMENTS
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Overview of DRAFT Preliminary School Reopening Plans
Superintendent Green explained the parameters set by the state: masks, social distancing, hygiene, health screening, and cleaning. He then provided a draft district plan that included schedules, health screening, meal services, teaching and learning, transportation, calendar modification, and other miscellaneous items. The administrative team has been working very hard to create the draft plan, but there are still many more pieces to the puzzle to solve. Lastly, Superintendent Green explained that there are still many unknowns, so this plan will very likely change by the end of August.
Board Development: Workshops and Retreat
Given a heavy work calendar in the coming month that includes review and approval of school reopening and the review and adoption of the budget for the coming year, the Board of Directors decided to hold a special work session on August 19th. This work session is in addition to their regularly scheduled meetings on August 12th, and August 26th.
CONSENT AGENDA
Director Wray moved to approve the consent agenda as presented.

ACTION ITEMS
Approval of 2020-2021 Student Meal Prices
Federal law requires that school districts set student meal prices that are similar to the federal reimbursement rate for free and reduced lunches. The superintendent recommended an increase of ten cents ($.10) per student lunch. The new prices would be: Elementary Schools: $2.75, Middle School: $3.05, High School: $3.20
Director Watts moved to approve the meal prices as presented
Approval of Student Food Service Management Contract Extension with Sodexo
The school district has a five-year contract with Sodexo to provide management of food services for Woodland Schools. Each year the board is asked to approve an annual addendum that establishes a guarantee of the maximum net cost for the services provided.
Director Wray moved to approve the contract extension as presented
Selection of New 91porn Logo/Brand Refresh
ESD 112 Communication Services has been working with the district on a “refresh” of our website and our brand. The board was presented with three different logo designs, as well as community feedback on the three designs.
Director Watts moved to approve the Trees and Sky logo as presented
Approval of ESD Cooperative Services Agreements
91porn has several cooperative services agreements with ESD 112 that allows the district to receive and provide services more cost-effectively than would be possible alone. Eleven of these agreements were presented to the board for approval.
Director Wray moved to approve the service agreements as presented
