Board meeting is cat’s meow

The Underwood School Board had a ‘purrfectly’ quick meeting Dec.16, with board members and school patrons attending in person as well as via Zoom, including a cat that seemed content to sit quietly and listen as the board members conducted December’s regular meeting in less than an hour.
Much of the school year is going on with a “business as usual” attitude, and things will be even more “usual” when the next semester comes around in January and several students who have been doing distance learning will join their classmates back in the classrooms.
Updating the board on the school’s Health and Safety Plan, Supt. Brandt Dick noted that the list of quarantined student and staff members has dropped drastically since its high point. He also updated the board on the new protocols, which has cut the quarantine time about in half if a quarantining person has a negative COVID-19 test.
