At 6 p.m. the board will meet in executive session to “take any such action, if necessary, based on its discussion namely: staff personnel matters.” This is likely the closed-door discussion on the paid administrative leave of teacher Tanya Lohr.
Early word, a petition with 600+ signatures is going to be presented to the board at the regular school board meeting by parent Kim Roemer asking that Lohr be allowed to return to the classroom.
Lohr was placed on paid administrative leave last week following an incident connected with the district’s Galileo testing system.
