The October 25 Village of Bluffton council meeting was dominated by two public hearings involving real estate development. Both items were approved by Council as described below.
As announced by text message alert, starting Monday, Oct. 25, the Bluffton schools will post a letter under the alert section on the schools website of any positive COVID case at the end of each day. The schools will not send text alerts out for each case.
The alert also noted that next week [Monday, October 25], grades 3, 4, 5 and 8 will return to the cafeteria for lunch. Students will be spread out, including the use of the middle section of the cafetorium and eat with their class.
The Bluffton Board of Education met in the Elementary School media center on October 18 with an audience of nine including the Bluffton Icon.
Among contracts approved by the board was bus driver Deborah Hilty, hired for a 60 day trial period at 4 hours per day.
Middle school principal Josh Kauffman noted that amidst the tight hiring market for drivers, that “knock on wood,” the Bluffton schools are in good shape with drivers and substitute drivers.
