Meeting Highlights
March 17, 2021 Special Meeting:
The meeting minutes provide details concerning the planning for the return of children for in-person learning.

March 4, 2021 Regular Meeting:
The board unanimously approved the Asheville Buncombe United for Youth Network Partnership Agreement. On its face, the program sounds like something we can support. However, the word "equity" appears a half-dozen times in the agreement. That word is one of those leftist dog whistles that always causes me to look over my shoulder two or three times. What do you think?

February 25 Special Meeting:
The meeting minutes provide details concerning the planning for the return of children for in-person learning. Additional COVID-19 discussion was documented in the minutes of a Feb 25 special work session.
