- Two different re-opening pages - one from the insider and one accessible to the students
- Employee re-opening page has information specific to employees
- Include on employee page the communications that are sent to students
- Make re-opening more bold on the homepage

ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION:
Topic Contact Person
Re-Opening will change to Back on Campus Update - Began receiving phone calls from a former student - Race was a point of contention in these messages - Equity work we're doing is real and impacts lives - TRO will be served and covers the district - Goes into effect once served - Individual has not made any attempt to step on campus or cause any harm - Interest is in getting individual the help and assistance they need - African American (and likely other populations) are targeted on this campus - In response, believe the student when they say it's happening and act from a place that what the student is saying is true
