4. Parent Visitor
Colby Postle joined the meeting to talk to the board about issues she has raised with Preschool policies. The board listened to her concerns and narrowed it down to 4 points:
-Board/Parent Communication
-Parents in the Classroom
-Use of Hand sanitizer
-Cancellations/Closures-
Over the next few months the board will review and address each item.

One of her major concerns was her perception that we had expelled her son from Preschool.
Mrs Postle had told us in her email that moving forward her son would no longer attend our preschool and we accelerated the time line by requesting that he no longer attend school. Her interpretation that we expelled him from school was not our intent. The board regrets our choice to ask him to no longer attend. We apologized to her for the misunderstanding and the hurt feelings.

Dorothy made a motion that we regretfully accept Joyce Long’s resignation and acknowledge her many years of service to the community. We will celebrate her at Benny’s next month’s meeting at 5pm with the meeting afterwards.
