VI.D. Director's Update
Speaker(s):
Dr. Trey Duke
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Rationale:
Dr. Duke updated the Board on testing, summer school COVID protocols, and Take 20.
Dr. Duke stated that TNReady Testing continues for 3rd-6th grade after a very successful first week for in-person and remote learners. Students and staff continue to do a remarkable job, along with assistant principals, who are leading this effort and Dr. Osborne, at central office, who oversees the entire testing program. Most testing for 3rd-6th will be done by the end of the week with a short break before 2nd grade starts testing. Dr. Duke included the summer school flyer in the Board packet that will also go out to parents. This flyer includes the summer school COVID protocols. Dr. Duke said that we will use this summer school information to revise our COVID protocols for next school year. Dr. Duke told the Board that Mrs. Trail and Mrs. Carr have been working with Mr. Padgett at City TV to produce a new show called Take 20 for Murfreesboro City Schools. He said that they have done an excellent job. This show will air every month and will highlight the great work that we are doing in Murfreesboro City Schools.

VII. OTHER BUSINESS
Speaker(s):
Chair Butch Campbell
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Rationale:
Mr. Settles added that after attending the budget work sessions last week with Dr. Duke, he wanted to say that it was the most informative budget presentation he had ever attended. He added that Dr. Duke and his team did an excellent job. The Board agreed with Mr. Settles.
Ms. Barton added that with next week being Teacher Appreciation Week, she wanted teachers to know how much they are appreciated. She added that they always come out on top and they have really excelled over this past year. Chair Campbell and the Board agreed. Dr. Duke added that the Governor signed the Executive Order today which released the county officials from the mask mandates, but the local authority to manage the public schools sits with the Board, so the plan is to continue to require masks until summer school. That plan will be re-evaluated before the fall. He said that the information regarding this order will go out to principals tomorrow. |
