COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL DECEMBER 5, 2018 A7 ‘No-Shave November’ ends for DCSO COURTESY PHOTO DOUGLAS COUNTY-Sher- iff Hanlin, DCSO deputies and staff retired their razors for the month of November in order to bring awareness to men’s health issues and to raise funds BOARD from A1 cluded comments from cur- rent Latham staff members and parents about the future of the school. “Th e following report pres- ents all of the relevant informa- tion and data necessary to help make an informed decision on the future of Latham Ele- mentary School,” read the in- troduction of the report. “Th e report does not give recom- mendations or make any sort of conclusions. Rather it pres- ents facts, data and feedback from staff and parents that can serve as a guide and reference in making a decision.” Th e fi nal decision regarding Latham’s future is still planned for the January board meeting for the local Community Can- cer Center. Normally, Douglas Coun- ty deputies adhere to strict grooming standards, which in-clude limitations on facial hair. Sheriff Hanlin temporar- ily relaxed the facial hair stan- dard in the name of communi- ty service and the department received astonishing support from the staff , members of the community and the Winston Police Department. “Th e amount raised is not being disclosed at this time, but we are excited about the re- sults,” said Hanlin. with additional discussion tak- ing place at a special session meeting on December 17. At the December 17 meeting, the board will be discussing the contents of the report and re- sponding from questions from Latham parents. “Today was all about pre- senting the data, best we could. Getting questions in front of the board. Get more informa- tion, come back, hopefully get more input – we have a lot of input from the Latham com- munity but more from them,” said Sullivan. “Again, this is going to be a hard decision whatever (the board does). So, I want to make sure they re- ally have some time to think through it and be thoughtful.” On Monday, the board members asked questions as the information was presented to them but gave no real indi- cation on their leanings of how they would vote when the time comes. “I came away feeling much more confi dent about the kind of decision we would like to make. We have the facts that, whichever way we choose to go, we know how to get there,” said board chair Alan Baas. Baas also noted that the ad- dition of the comments from the Latham community gave a fresh perspective on the de- cision. “It gave me much more sol- id – I felt like I was walking in all your moccasins because I got so many hits on how your experience in the school and how it’s important to you,” said Baas. Aft er the meeting, Sullivan noted he was pleased with how this document displayed the realities of Latham and how it sets up the board for their de- cision. “Anytime you close a school there’s the emotional piece – the value that the community puts in the school. Th ere is the budget piece. Th ere’s all sorts of things and it’s never real clear or an easy decision,” he said. “I’ve been through a number of building closures in Eugene and others. Th ere’s never real- ly just one thing that moves a board. I wouldn’t be surprised either way with what the board does.” To read the document on- line, visit slane.k12.or.us.
