Action 38927

Dr. James Nold, Assistant Superintendent, presented the Continue to Learn (C2L) Report, as follows:

One thing is certain during a pandemic - there will not be complete agreement on the best way for students and staff to return safely to school. What is certain is there is no substitute for students being in the classroom, with their peers, listening and learning from a highly-qualified and passionate teacher.

After successful completion of in-person learning during the 2020-21 school year and programs offered throughout the summer, the Sioux Falls School District developed health and safety protocols to promote prevention of the COVID-19 illness for the 2021-22 school year in its Continue to Learn (C2L) Plan.

- 25 - Action 38927, continued Monday, August 9, 2021

The Plan, developed with feedback received from more than 600 stakeholders, outlines best practices of frequent cleaning/handwashing, illness protocols, and the use of face coverings. The District is in constant consultation with local, state, and national health experts and monitors new developments daily.

The Plan is flexible and could be adjusted if COVID-19 conditions change in our community.

Following general discussion, a motion was made by Kate Parker and seconded by Carly R. Reiter, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, approving the Continue to Learn (C2L) Plan with the knowledge that it will be revisited if COVID-19 conditions in our community warrant (see MRF #18721 and Action 38800, adopted 1-25-2021.)

Action 38928

Dr. Jane Stavem, Superintendent, presented the District Priorities Report (see MRF #18722), as follows:

The Sioux Falls School District is a mission-driven, data-focused district striving to become the best in the nation. This goal is lofty, but attainable when all stakeholders are informed and working together toward continuous improvement and overall achievement.

District leaders met with all stakeholders from January 2021 to May 2021. Staff members, students, parents/guardians, and community members joined small group discussions in-person and via Zoom to discuss opportunities for improvement. More than 900 comments and discussions were paired down to develop the plan that will guide our work in the near future. Priority areas are:

• Academic Success • Well-Being • Community Engagement • Staff Excellence • Effective Use of Resources

Each priority area has measurable goals, growth targets, and challenging expectations to move students and staff members forward. Professional development for staff, stronger partnerships with the community, care and concern for families, and responsible use of taxpayer dollars are part of the plan.

Initiatives will be regularly reported during School Board meetings with no sunset on the work. Additional items will be moved into the plan as others become established, evaluated, and cemented in School District culture.

Following general discussion, a motion was made by Kate Parker and seconded by Marc Murren, five (5) votes “yes” on roll call, acknowledging the update of the District Priorities to drive our work to become the best school district in the nation.
