SPM NEWS 12.14.20 - UPDATE ON COVID-19 ABSENTEE RATES IN SIOUX CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
The Sioux City Community School Board meets tonight and the issue of education during the COVID-19 pandemic will be a likely discussion.
Two board members sent the superintendent a letter last week calling for more transparency in reporting COVID-19 cases. They believe they’re not seeing the full picture when it comes to absentee rates due to virus-related quarantines.
“There’s more doubt from what we are hearing from teachers and parents.”
That’s school board member Dan Greenwell commenting to Siouxland Public Media last week. Greenwell along with school board member Taylor Goodvin want the district to expand the information they provide the board and public. Goodvin called for returning to hybrid learning at the last board meeting late last month.
