Dr. Rickey Catlett presented the Human Resources Report for the board to approve Thursday at the Board Meeting.

Our staff are tracking the students not logging in by reaching out to parents, checking the technology to make sure it is working properly or if it is a bad connection. Per surveys we will have approximately 7,500 students in person 5-days per week. Approximately 3,000 virtual and approximately 2,000 cyber.
