Discuss Sharing Students and Classes
Mrs. Bergman thanked Mr. Hood and Ms. Sheldon for all the support and hard work they have done for both districts. Mr. Hood is appreciative of the capabilities to work through issues the districts have encountered and they look forward to continuing the relationship between both districts. South Page board would like to continue the agreement of sharing students for the 2020-2021 school year. Clarinda board was in agreement. A possible change could occur if South Page has a late staff leave and would need Clarinda to provide more high school classes and lunch. There was discussion in sharing a high school counselor. South Page has a possible in-house staff member interested and would need assistance from Clarinda’s high school counselor. The important issue to have a counselor available to all students.
