Board Meeting on Zoom?

The life we are living right now is unprecedented in every way. We are finding new ways to do everything, and this includes monthly school board meetings. MSD held its first virtual board meeting via Zoom. The Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, all five board members, many staff members of the district, and community members joined the call. Like any other meeting, everyone was welcome to join, and last night was no different. Overall, the meeting seemed to go very smoothly. Very important notions were passed, including the hiring of Martinsville High School’s new principal. Holding the board meeting on Zoom definitely shows there is a first time for everything, but we also see that COVID-19 is not stopping our school district from getting things done.
