Open Forum/Public Discussion

Representatives from the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams as well as supporting community members met with the board to discuss the possibility of a mask mandate at all games and removing the ticket limitation.  The student athletes would like to see more people be able to come to their games, however they want to keep everybody’s safety the main priority.
