The Board of Education of Salida School District R-32-J will host an Open House/Informational Work Session for all those interested in the 2021 School Board Election. The work session is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday May 13 on the second floor of the Kesner building- Board Room, 349 East Ninth Street in Salida, CO.
The Salida School Board reminds all voters in the Salida School District of the November 2, 2021 election. The School District is comprised of five director districts and two “at large” seats. Six seats included in the election are the following:
District 1 (2 year term) Carrie Mattix- incumbent
The last week has seen an uptick in the number of COVID-19 cases identified in Chaffee County from recent weeks.
Chaffee County Public Health reported 23 new cases in the last seven days compared to 15 new cases reported last week.
The recent case count includes cases associated with Salida School district.
David Blackburn, superintendent of Salida School District R-32-J, said 12 students in the district had been identified as having COVID-19 in the last week.
As a result about 100 students across the district are in quarantine.
Academic plans at some schools were canceled or amended in response to the new cases and those under quarantine.
Nominating teacher: Michael Bena and Danielle Brown
Comments: Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with Michael Kennedy know how clever and considerate he is. His critical approach to new information is what every teacher hopes for in a student. His quick and dry humor often sets the tone for his peers. His unassuming charitable nature is inclusive and contagious. Michael has made this challenging year far more enjoyable than should have been possible.
