PUBLIC COMMENT:
Shari Williams (26 Riley Road, Easton) commented that the letter from the Superintendent (dated 9/25/20) left many people in the community concerned there was no plan or timeline in place to address the logistics needed for full re-opening at Barlow. She also expressed concerns the Temporary Learning From Home and Hybrid models were not addressing the educational, social and emotional needs of the Barlow students. She requested the Superintendent and Board come up with a full reopening plan by the end of November.
