If you have some time and some popcorn, here's that portion...

of the last school board meeting. This discussion takes about 20 minutes. Personally, I'm in favor of going down to the lowest level as legally possible.

One of my favorite parts of watching these last few school board meetings (don't think I've ever watched one before) is watching some of the more outspoken members body reactions and, one in particular who continues to have almost tantrums and also has a very difficult time keeping their mask on while arguing how unsafe things will be.

Thanks. Did anyone from the community show up last meeting for comments? -- HokieSignGuy 08/11/2020 10:09PM

Push back from teachers will likely take care of that. ** -- reestuart 08/11/2020 9:44PM
