Description:  The Lane ESD Board of Directors has agreed to implement a consent agenda.  All items in the consent agenda are adopted by a single motion unless a member of the Board or the Superintendent requests that such item be removed from the consent agenda and acted upon separately.

Back-up materials for consent agenda items are included in the agenda packet as needed.  Minutes of this meeting will reflect action on each item.  

If any board member wishes to withdraw any consent group item, it will be moved to the appropriate section of the agenda.

Description:  Below are "Kudos" submitted by employees in the last month. 
Kudos to:           Lawren Ward
Reported by:        Tricia Robison
Reason:             Lawren has been a huge help getting the Serbu detention classroom set up for video conferencing.  His patience and knowledge are much appreciated!  Thank you!

Kudos to:           Trent Linebaugh
Reported by:        Annie Whiddon
Reason:             Trent has been instrumental in writing and providing feedback on the ODE Operational Blueprints for the Daffodil School. Working between two agencies is challenging in the best of times, and during this pandemic his work has been the  bridge that made it so I could cross back and forth!  Thank you SO much!

Kudos to:           Sue Wilson
Reported by:        Annie Whiddon
Reason:             Sue has been an incredible resource to help draft Reopening Blueprints, both for the ESD and our consortium. She has delved deep into the guidance provided by ODE and has somehow managed to keep up with all of the changes as they've come out. I don't know how I would have done this without her! Thank you, Sue!!!!!

Kudos to:           Ally Richardson
Reported by:        Rebecca Coon
Reason:             For being a support to Teacher, Staff, and Students. When I became the teacher at Agnus Stewart, Ally was my go-to person for information about students, families, and staff. She has build exceptional relationships, not only within the classroom but throughout the school.

Kudos to:           The staff at the ESD office
Reported by:        Anonymous
Reason:             During this not so fun time, the staff have sent the necessary information to each of us to keep us informed as to what was going on.
