  • Report to the Board of Education
    Report to the Board of Education Dr. Peter Stiepleman, Superintendent, Columbia Public Schools August 17, 2018 This week One week down! I looked back at last year’s first week message where we reported how well the week had gone – the best yet, we said. From all reports, this year has exceeded last year’s report. In visiting school buildings, I have observed leaders and staff helping students and families. I have seen routines being taught and relationships being built. I have seen academics being reviewed and new lessons begun. It has been really exciting to see! And I concur with Jill’s message – our operations team worked miracles to get us ready. They are deserving of public recognition, for sure! Stephen’s College/CPS In this week’s consent agenda, the Board of Education approved an MOU with Stephens College. I was asked by a member to explain what that MOU covered. Over the years, Locust Street students (formerly known as Lee) would use the field across the street from their school. This field happens to be Dianne Lynch’s front yard (Dianne is the President of Stephen’s College). She noticed the children regularly playing in the yard, which brought her joy, but also left her with a question. What would happen if a child injured herself/himself? Could Stephens be held responsible? She and I talked, and we agreed that a memorandum of understanding made a lot of sense. And that’s what you approved – an MOU outlining our responsibilities as a good neighbor using their property.

Columbia Public Schools will be in-person for the 2021-22 school year. Though CPS students will be learning in-person, the global coronavirus pandemic continues to pose a level of risk for our students, staff and community and could possibly disrupt in-person learning.
