The school board then moved on to other business, which included the approval of the purchase of classroom textbooks for health class.

“We are certainly open to those [recommendations], and I am checking on those on my end,” said Thomas, who did not publicly disclose what recommendations had been made. She added that more meetings will be held in coming weeks.

“We are committed to finding an amicable resolution to this, and we left last week’s meeting with the first step in that process.”

At Tuesday’s meeting, Superintendent Nikki Thomas said she and Harris had since met with representatives of both organizations and heard their recommendations.
