Our speaker for the February 7th, 2025 Noon Rotary meeting was Amanda Johnson from the Calhoun County Department of Public Health. Amanda gave an update on the current Flu strains and Respiratory illnesses circulating throughout our area and showed us some statistics about school absences in the area. It was very informative and interesting.
Thank you Amanda.
This week’s Rotary program speaker was one of our own members, South Central Calhoun School Superintendent Brad Anderson. Brad spoke to us about the discussions that are currently happening about the possibilities of changing to a four day school week. He related opinions that have been brought forward on both sides of the discussions. He gave teacher’s perspectives and talked pros and cons on the subject.
Brad had a handout, for us, showing what the proposed four day schedule might look like, for a school calendar year. After a very informative presentation, Brad opened it up for questions or comments. One Rotarian said her brother taught at a school that had gone to the four day week and said they would not go back to the five day week for any amount of compensation. There were a few other questions before the presentation ended. Thank you Brad for your perspectives and for providing the opposing opinions as well.
