I think I must commend the Superintendent for this administrative decision (staff involved). The reliance on Hard Medical Test Data = Pooled PCR* testing by classroom cohort (IMO) is a much better data-driven concise, and measurable LOCAL scientific approach to this medical/social/societal problem.

<- Trustee Conley - Principal Taylor -> each go their 'different directions' with their opinions. One '<- more relaxed - less relaxed -> for the other. This of course is not a "consensus decision". [not ALL Have to agree exactly] I think the community supports (in general) OPEN BACK UP OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS to the best in-person learning.

But I THINK we really can 'follow the Chief Administrative Officer' (and his staff) in this clearly formulated - publicly explained - Board well-received Plan ... and the kids will be safe.

Thanks Reporter Morgan for a well written piece.

* PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction is one of our essential ways of testing DNAs (like COVID virus). This advance won its two primary scientists the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993.
