A press release on behalf of the board stated, “Re- cent concerns expressed by members of the public about late-breaking state directives have not gone unheard by the school board. The meeting sched- uled for Sept. 1, 2021, is postponed until a later date and time.” People who wanted to submit public comment may email 97j@siuslaw.k12. or.us. “Please be assured that the Siuslaw School Board of Directors will read and re- view all public commentary submitted by parents and patrons,” the board contin- ued. The meeting was first announced after the board met for a work session on Aug. 16 Board Chair Bob Sned- don said the meeting had been planned to help peo- ple talk about COVID-19 safety measures and the start of the 2021-22 school year. “While the Siuslaw School Board of Directors believes in the concept of local control, the Siuslaw School District is bound to adhere to the laws of the state,” the press release stated. “In order to keep all students and staff safe and healthy, the administrative staff will implement miti- gation control efforts from the guidance, under the direction of state and local public health officials. “In-person instruction is what is best for students. ‘Bear aware’ composting class The Oregon State Uni- versity Extension Program and Master Composters are offering a free composting class on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Florence Food Share Garden, located directly behind the Florence Food Share building at 2190 Spruce St. Masks and social dis- tancing will be required. Master Composters will discuss and demonstrate various techniques of com- posting, methods of vermi- composting, and hot and cold composting. Bears can be a problem when composting in Flor- ence, so the presenters will focus on techniques that would be less likely to at- tract bears. One method of “bear aware” composting is bokashi. Rodney Bloom, a bokashi expert, will be there to discuss this meth- od. The Master Gardeners will also be there to offer soil pH testing if you would like to bring a sample of your own garden soil. The test requires ¾ cup of dry soil. There is a $2 cash-only fee for the pH test.
