Dear Bolinas-Stinson School Families and Community,
Even though we don’t have answers to many of our questions about what school will look like next year, we can proactively begin to plan for possible scenarios. I hope you will join us at the upcoming BSUSD Community Zoom Special Board Meeting on Tuesday, May 26th at 1:00 PM.
BSUSD COMMUNITY ZOOM SPECIAL BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAY, MAY 26TH AT 1:00 PM (Zoom links will be emailed by Johanna).
I will be sharing the latest class models and school schedule possibilities, our CBO, Catherine Hawes, will be sharing the latest financial information, and Superintendent, John Carroll, will be sharing the latest news and recommendations from our local Health Department and the Marin County Office of Education. This community forum is an important first step to begin planning for next year.
We will be discussing possible options in greater detail in order to gain better insight and gather input from all stakeholders. Hopefully, through this open discussion process, we will be able identify and address the necessary logistics to ensure a safe and smooth transition back to school. I hope to see you there!
Please take time to carefully review the following documents:
