When: Solanco school board meeting, via livestreaming, May 17. What happened: Superintendent Brian Bliss gave the board an update on how the district is returning to normal as COVID-19 restrictions are being relaxed. There will be an in-person graduation June 11, but at this time there are still some restrictions planned. Background: It appears COVID-19 mitigation measures will no longer be mandated after May 31, but masking will still be required in the schools. Because graduation will be outdoors, by keeping distances between students, seniors will be able to individually walk across the stage to receive their diplomas without masks. Why its important: The current plan, as announced sets up the stadium with seating in four person pods, and four tickets available per graduate.
