Live at SJO, March 27, 2023

I am here at SJO tonight so you don’t have to be. I missed 30 minutes but it looks like they are doing a facilities project update.
Wait, they have went really fast. They are already on new business and upped the amount in the revolving fund and expenditure approval limits. That just means the super can make purchases, ect. up to a certain amount up without specific board approval.

Brooks wants to continue to explore the issue to see if it will actually save the district money.

Kevin Taylor doesn’t want the panels on the school’s land. Is OK with it on the roof.

The Math department has made an online math curriculum proposal. Spanish 1 has 108 kids right now. #WOW They are also looking at an online Spanish curriculum. (I think)

Closed session.

Spring Musical is April 14, 15. #THEDESCENDANTS

Board members went to the We The People Fundraiser.
