Assistant Superintendent Kathy Hopson at last night’s specially called school board meeting.
During a specially called meeting last night of the Stuttgart School District’s Board of Directors, the board voted to approve virtual learning policies for the 2021-22 school year and to modify the mask policy for graduation and senior night.
Board members Tim Vose, Candace Prine, Jennifer Payton, and Carla Gipson were present at the meeting on Tuesday, April 27. First on the agenda was a resolution to adopt Act 1240, allowing the district to petition the Arkansas Board of Education (ADE) for the same waivers granted to charter schools for hiring unlicensed teachers. According to Superintendent Dr. Rick Gales, unlicensed teachers can be hired under the provision, as long as they complete a two-year program to become ADE-licensed under their employment contract.
