SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT Dr. Zorn reported the budget advisory and facility advisory committees met last week. The facility advisory committee reviewed the PRAM list and was asked to read Chapter 7 of the Facility Master Plan, which needs to be updated. The budget advisory committee was provided an update on the revised budget for 2020-21 and budget development for the 2021-22 budget. Dr. Zorn reported the district is advertising for two assistant principal positions right now. Applicants will be interviewed for the Mark Morris High School position this week and Monticello Middle School next week. Elementary began full in-person learning, five days a week, one week ago. Dr. Zorn reported visiting all schools where he found everything going well. Dr. Zorn reported on the most recent COVID-19 levels, which stands at 290 cases per 100,000 over a 14 day period. He also noted the state adjusted their formula for calculating infection rates. The state used to use .917 as the multiplier for the population of Cowlitz County, but this morning the state has used an updated population number of 110,500, Regular Meeting Minutes April 26, 2021 Page 3 of 12 which changed the multiplier to .905. When this change is applied, it lowers the infection rate to 287.89. Dr. Zorn will use the new figures in the future when calculating for infection rates. Dr. Zorn noted that when infection rates drop to the point that secondary schools can open under the Department of Health guidelines, secondary will come back four days a week. An announcement will be made. REQUESTS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD Lise St. Martin states she was the grandmother of two Mark Morris students. She questioned why students were no in school in February and March when cases were below 200.
