The school board will start its meeting at 5 p.m. in closed session to have a conference regarding labor negotiations in response to the teachers’ union “demand to bargain” letter, dated Jan. 10, objecting to the school district s return-to-campus plans, posted on the Jan. 13 school board agenda. In the letter, the teachers union President Angie Genasci wrote, in part: The membership feels that the current plan of (1) bringing elementary students back to campus for two days in this and next week and beginning a full hybrid schedule the following week and (2) bringing the middle and high school students back to campus at the end of January before we know if the case rates have lowered to the guidelines set forth by our Governor, is not one that is taking into consideration the physical safety of our students or staff.
