Special Board Meeting- 9/1/21
8/23/21- Draft Minutes
8/23/21
The West Washington School Corporation held an emergency meeting on Monday 8/23/21.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss growing numbers of students missing school reported as ill, the number of students currently quarantined and the number of Covid positive students. Most alarming was the exponential increase in cases from the end of last week through today.
Mr. Nance recommended to the board that the school move to virtual instruction until Tuesday 9/7/21. Additionally, it was recommended that extra curricular activities that are a part of the school or hosted by the school be suspended.
The recommendations were passed by the school board.
The school board will reconvene next week to determine a plan to return that may include additional Covid mitigation protocols. At that time a return to school and return to extracurricular activities will be discussed and decided.
During virtual instruction students will be expected to join lessons during the school day. Students should check their Google Classrooms for schedules and instructions for turning in work.
The school will provide Grab & Go meals each day for those that request them. Call the superintendent’s office to have your name added to the list for meals. It will be the responsibility of the family to come to school and pick up the meals.
It is our sincere hope that we can return to school and have no further closures this school year.

7/26/21 Special Board Meeting Agenda
July 19th Board Agenda
The United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved all schools to offer free breakfasts and lunch to all students regardless of income for this school year 2021-22.
Some things to keep in mind:
Students must take the required components to make a reimbursable meal in order for it to be free. The kitchen staff will help students take a full reimbursable meal.
We encourage all families and students to eat a school meal daily. It is good for the student and the school!
If students purchase extras (such as a bottled drink) available in the serving line , a la carte the student will be charged for these items. if your student intends to purchase items other than the meal please make sure there are adequate funds on their account.
Nothing needs to be sent to the school in order to have a student receive meals for free. Free meals are automatically offered to all students regardless of income.
Families that believe they qualify for free and reduced meals normally ,should STILL submit a free meal application as this can help with qualifying for assistance programs for the family and student.(TEXTBOOK ASSISTANCE)
YOU MUST FILL OUT THE APPLICATION TO RECEIVE TEXTBOOK FEE ASSISTANCE!
