Mid-way we downloaded and created several sets of language cards for the families to pick up and use.

This would be really helpful to talk about alternative models 00:55:38 Sarah Shor: Yes! 00:55:48 Danielle Benge: Are any schools struggling to receive Education Stabilization Fund money? 00:57:12 Katherine Bowen: I would like to talk to schools on academic schedules and how they are handling teacher contracts. We have a 10 month school year but pay out over 12, not knowing what next year will bring I am hesitant to begin salary payments in July when no one works until September and than what happens if we shut down 00:57:28 Katherine Bowen: Particularly for employees who are not conducting distance learning 00:57:41 Stefanie Graper: Yes I am interested in that also 00:57:53 Marcy Cathey: Please do, Wali!

I will purchase Force by Nature. 01:03:37 Lourdes Burnaflor: I second Kara and Katherine 01:03:42 Heidi Hewett: I believe that's correct that you need to have an Elementary to qualify for ESSER grant funds. 01:04:05 Traci Gagnon: We are in agreement with John.
