Goff was not present at the meeting, at the request of the board. Oregon State Senator Sara Gelser wrote a letter to the board in support of Goff, which Thomson wanted to read out loud. His request was denied. In the letter, Gelser said she was concerned Goff is being blamed for the COVID-related difficulties the school district encountered. Gelser also mentioned criticism of Goff’s policies on inclusion and diversity.
