Board meeting done, 6 – 9:30. Oof. It would be easier to have these be shorter if there wasn’t so much important material to go through….ah well. Two important items from today’s meeting — and I am speaking just for myself here, not for the board: 1) We are currently staying the course on COVID […]

5:30 – 8:30 tour of facilities at OPRF, preparatory to discussing phase 2 of renovation plan. Tired, but was very useful, got lots of questions answered, and got to see into the bowels of the building, always interesting.

Special facilities board meeting done, 5:30 – 7:30. The first of many in this series, I think, as we start looking at phase 2 of the Imagine plan and the proposed renovations, primarily to the phys ed & drama facilities. It’s going to be a long road.
Almost forgot to note, board meeting tonight was only 6:30 – 8:40, which I think is a record for shortest board meeting ever. Amazing. I’m still exhausted, tho.

6:30 board meeting started, 9:50, board meeting adjourned. A little over three hours, not too bad. Mary Anne go crash boom now. (Photo of drive from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, endless rolling vista that I failed to capture as well as I would’ve liked with my phone camera. Board meeting was thankfully not that endless.)

School board meeting over, 6:30 – 9:30. Not too long, as these things go. But now I really am finally going on vacation for a bit. Semester finished yesterday, a few packages to get in the mail tomorrow, packing for the trip, and other than that, I plan to do a lot of lazing around

Kevin: Do you want to watch the new Discovery or Wheel of Time? Me: I think I can squeeze Discovery in before tonight’s board meeting. Kevin: Didn’t you have a board meeting this morning? Me: Yes, different board. Today is bracketed by board meetings. Kevin: Too many boards? Or just too many meetings? Me: I

Special board meeting added on short notice tonight, 7:30 – 10:00. This one was re: new COVID mitigations after a spike at the high school, and I had some questions that were answered by the administration and the health director. I really hope the CDC / FDA approve boosters for 14-18 year olds as soon
