Board Comments <br /> Dr. Aparna Jonnal <br /> Dr. Jonnal commented that, though it turned out the adjudication hearing needed to be <br /> rescheduled, she appreciated that the details were well-communicated and orderly and that the <br /> board responded to everything in a timely manner. <br /> Keith Bagby <br /> Mr. Bagby shared a recap of the recent Orange Partnership event, Take Down Tobacco <br /> Day, which was held at A.L. Stanback Middle School on April 12, 2024. He said that the event <br /> was a big success and that there were three major activities: an educational presentation about <br /> tobacco given by the ADAPT high school students, Bingo and other games, and a kickball <br /> tournament. He added that some of the teachers participated in the kickball tournament, and <br /> that it was a good way to break up the school day and give students a chance to do something <br /> different. Mr. Bagby went on to say that several other schools have expressed interest in having <br /> Orange Partnership host a similar event but that this is likely not feasible at this time, as Orange <br /> Partnership has a very small staff, and the event required a lot of planning, funding, and <br /> collaboration with parents and community partners. <br /> Dr. Jonnal congratulated Mr. Bagby on the event and all the work that he does in the <br /> community. She said that if she ever retires, she hopes to give as much as he does. <br /> S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agendas &Abstracts\2024 Agenda and Abstracts/ <br /> April Page 1 <br />
