7 <br /> Chair Rich said during School Collaboration meetings staff discussed having a County <br /> Commissioner on that taskforce. <br /> Dr. Jim Causby asked if the BOCC would let him know of any pertinent stakeholders that <br /> should be included in the task force. <br /> Mary Ann Wolf thanked the CHCCS BOE for its work, and thanked the Commissioners <br /> for approving the capital lease for technology back in May. She said this made a huge <br /> difference. <br /> Chair Rich said the Commissioners did the same thing for Orange County Schools. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he appreciated CHCCS being proactive with technology and <br /> connectivity issues. He said he knows connectivity is better in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, but his <br /> petition for funding to address the needs is not intended to be exclusive to OCS. He said if <br /> CHCCS has needs, he asked that they be expressed to the County Manager. <br /> Dr. Jim Causby said County staff has reached out, and CHCCS will certainly take funds, <br /> but did not want to do so when they were not needed. <br /> Chair Rich expressed thanks to both districts. <br /> Slide #1 <br /> x <br /> a C� <br /> x <br /> F Q <br /> J w <br /> BoardsJoint of Education BOCC <br /> Keep Learning,Stay Safe <br /> Slide #2 <br /> COVID UPDATES <br /> • School Reopening In-Person <br /> • Supervised Learning Lab Update <br /> • Technology Challenges—Internet Accessibility and Costs <br /> • The ABC Science Collaborative <br /> • Food Insecurities—Food Distribution Update <br /> • Students Experiencing Homelessness <br /> • SEL/Mental Health Supports <br /> • School Health Nurses <br /> Slide #3 <br /> COVID UPDATES <br /> School Reopening In-person <br /> • Currently on Plan C Remote Learning Through First <br /> Semester <br /> • Constantly Monitoring State and Local Statistics <br /> • Staffing Concerns Exist <br />
