As the father of 2 children at Hillcrest K-8, I urge the Board to honor the previously announced August 15 1st day school (Item V). This date was announced months ago. Changing now is unfair. Many families including mine made summer travel and camp plans based on that start date. My family has non-refundable plane tickets to visit family on the East Coast. Changing tickets is very expensive not to mention lost time with relatives. Summer plans need certainty and BOE disregards the needs of OUSD families who want to see their relatives after two years of pandemic. After travel disruption and cancelled and camps, we all just want a normal happy summer with camps and travel. The Board is suddenly interrupting our plans which is inconsiderate. Very few families know this vote is happening tonight. Out of respect for the families please post-pone this vote and take time to find out what families of OUSD want. Please delay the vote, or better honor the date you selected as Aug 15.
