(KLZA)-- Falls City School Superintendent Tim Heckenlively reported during Monday nights Board meeting that planning is underway to re-open Falls City Public Schools for the 2020-21 School year as scheduled.
The plan is for teachers to report on August 10 and students to come back to class on Thursday, August 13, for traditional face-to-face instruction.
If the COVID-19 spread is minimal or there is no spread, all buildings will be open with enhanced safety and cleaning procedures. Due to the changing factors with the pandemic, the comprehensive reopening plan will be released on or before July 24.
The reopening plan will include considerations for minimal spread, a moderate spread and a substantial spread of COVID-19.
In other business, the Board set the budget and property tax request hearings for September 14 at 6:00 P.M.
Teacher employment contracts were approved with Michelle Furrow to serve as a part-time music teacher and Nicole Fiegener as a Non Public Title 1 teacher.
An agreement to transition to annual sick leave program to a PTO program for the 2020-21 school year was also approved.
