Saline Area Schools Superintendent Steve Laatsch will preview the district's plans for the return to five-day-a-week in-person instruction when the Board of Education meets Aug. 10.
Laatsch sent a letter to the school community Friday. In the letter, he noted that the SARS-CoV-2 transmission has increased to "substantial" according to CDC standards, which means the CDC is highly recommending the use of masks indoors. As a result, Laatsch said, the district is now recommending the use of masks indoors for all students and staff. However, mask-wearing is not mandatory at the moment. Laatsch noted this is not indicative of the district's plans for the return to class Aug. 30, when density will be higher in the buildings.

Fog, with a high of 82 and low of 69 degrees. Fog for the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
