Okay, I need to create a concise and detailed summary of the Saint Athanasius Board of Education Minutes from June 2, 2020. Let me start by reading through the provided document carefully.
First, the meeting was held via Zoom. The motion to start was made by Adam, and the opening prayer by Jennifer S. The members present are listed, and Drew M was absent. The minutes were approved by Heather E and Fr. Dole. The leader quote was John 6:51-58.
Then, additions to the agenda included approval of new teachers. The administrators' report mentions the Last Day School Parade and Return Materials Day were successful, with report cards sent out. The Pastor's report is about Fr. Dole's last meeting before moving, and he thanks everyone. Adam also thanks him.
Action items include approving the teachers: Jori Rechemmer moving to 5th grade, Penny Sands teaching 1st grade with 10 years of experience, Pat Schols teaching 6th grade with 20+ years experience. Allison S motioned to approve, and Kraig E seconded.
Old business: Building update. The gym contractor is painting walls light gray, with 3 weeks left. Kathy is working on stairwells. A chair lift quote was $60k for the east stairwell. OOH and Farmer's Day were canceled due to COVID-19, but OOH was an online auction that met the $10k goal, possibly reaching $14k-$16k. Backes Commercial Auctioneers helped with the online event. The 8th Grade trip was canceled, so the funds were used for gift cards and photos.
New business: Return to Learn document due July 1st to the Department of Education. They're working with the Archdiocese on a plan considering attendance, health, safety. IEPs might change in the Fall. FAST assessments need to be addressed.
Committees: Finance, Building, PTO, Don Bosco, Nomination, School Improvement, Jesup Public School all reported no items. PTO might need to adjust fundraisers due to COVID-19.
Next meeting is August 4, 2020. Submitted by Allison Stone. The school board members are listed by term and year.
Now, I need to structure this into a summary. Start with the date, motion to start, opening prayer, members present. Then approval of minutes, leader quote. Additions to agenda: approval of new teachers. Administrators report on events and Pastor's thanks. Action items: teacher approvals, details on each teacher. Old business: building updates, OOH changes, 8th grade trip. New business: Return to Learn plan, IEPs, FAST assessments. Committees: all have no items except PTO. Next meeting date and submitter. Also, note the school board members' terms.
Make sure it's in English, no markdown, just the content. Keep it concise but cover all key points. Avoid any extra language or titles. Check for any missing details and ensure accuracy. Let me put this all together in a clear, structured way without any markdown.
