The majority of the time at the USD #273 school board meeting Monday night was devoted to how school will open at the Beloit public schools next month. Superintendent Jeff Travis has received a 1,200 page document from the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) devoted to how Board of Education should approach the opening of schools in August. Travis distilled the huge document down to about 90 pages as a workable document for school openings. He has formed a steering committee to assist in this formidable task composed of administrators, teachers, board members, parents, students, and support personnel. This will allow the board to receive a wide range of points of view about the concerns for starting school.
