action desired, etc.)
As we do every year, we bid out the purchase of the construction materials for this year’s

The bids, opened on July 7, were:
Site House #108: $50,966.11

As both bids met specifications and were within budgetary expectations, I recommend that
the Board accept both bids from Builders FirstSource for the above amounts.

From: Joseph Graves, Superintendent of Schools
Nature of action requested:

Board Information X
Scheduled report
Description of the item (including nature of the problem, program covered, impact, board
action desired, etc.)
In order to begin the public input process for our Return to School Plan or Protocols, I have
revised the protocols from last year consistent with past experience and current realities
regarding COVID. In general, the protocols have been relaxed, including the removal of the
‘mask mandate.’ My intention is to now post this on the school website, requesting input from
the public. We would then review these protocols, informed by that input and by the evolving
conditions of COVID by that time, at the first board meeting in August, with the intent to have
the Board approve a final document at that time.
Given the variants now finding their way to the United States as well as other changes such
as the availability of vaccines for ages 12 and up, any list of protocols will necessarily have to
be considered to be open to changes over time.
A copy of the draft protocols can be found immediately following this cover sheet.
