Superintendent
Mrs. Bergman explained the public comment portion of the agenda. Holding this opportunity to the first meeting of the month and allowing two minutes for citizens to speak has been the norm for the entire year and will continue. The public is still encouraged to contact the district with concerns and questions. A student spoke to Mrs. Bergman about diversity in the district and community; they will meet to discuss how students can help the community come together. The Negotiations Team, including union and administrative representatives and a student, participated in Franklin Covey’s Speed of Trust professional learning. She is excited to share that a donation of $23,000 was given to the district to support the LeaderInMe family portion. Partnerships in the community include Green Hills AEA, Clarinda Youth Corporation, Waubonsie Mental Health and several others. They will be certifying trainers for the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families in order to have it passed along to teachers and businesses. The Clarinda Community will be the fourth community in the nation to engage in this learning. The household technology survey from the state was sent out to families which will help set the Return to Learn Plan. The district received thermometers which will be used when school starts. Summer programing options include Please Pass the Love organization webinars focused on mental health for students and adults.
