In
review of the school opening guide/return to learn plan it was determined to
declare all staff as essential workers as the district has done in the past. Every
employee within the district plays an important function in the day-to-day
operations, thus it is important to declare all employees as critical
infrastructure employees. School district attorney, Rodney Freeman, has made
this recommendation to all of the districts he represents. Motion by Gerlach
second by Plooster to declare all Corsica-Stickney School District Employees as
Critical Infrastructure Employees. This
includes all certified and classified personnel, including custodians,
secretaries, paraprofessionals, teachers, bus drivers, and administration.
Motion carried.

Principal
Kemp also updated on the student count for the elementary. She indicated that

to discuss personnel matters pursuant to SDCL 1-25-2(1). Motion carried. Declared
out of executive session at 9:54 p.m. by President Wright.
The
school has yet to fill the position of K-12 Vocal Music. Both Ferra Kemp and
Miranda Paulson have taken on extra duties to make sure the students have these
classes available while the search has been ongoing. Also Hannah Reimnitz has
taken on a large role with the EL program due to new students in the district
and the need for a translator to assist the students and the families. Motion
