Discussion:  Rodney Dillard led the group in the pledge to the flag.  

Discussion:  Dr. Cash explained that the Task Force will present the Continuous Learning and Back to School plan to the Board.  She told them to remember that it is a flexible - living document made with the knowledge and recommendations we have today.  As things change we may need to update the plan and send the changes to the Board.  With the updates pending, it does not affect the start of school.  If we need to make changes to the document, we would like to make them and send them to the Board.  We are excited about having teachers and students back in the buildings.
