The Copper Country Intermediate School District Board of Education held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, August 11.

The CCISD Board accepted the retirement of Board Treasurer, Robert E. Loukus with regret. Mr. Loukus served on the Copper Country ISD Board for the last seven years. Prior to that, Mr. Loukus had served on the CLK school board for 12 years. Superintendent George Stockero stated that Mr. Loukus pushed him to look at many sides of an issue that made him a better superintendent.

The CCISD board will now advertise the open board position and will select a new member at the September board meeting.

The CCISD Board also approved their State of Michigan’s COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan. The Administration team created a plan that put into place all the highly recommended protocols from the Return to Learn Roadmap in phase 5 of the Michigan Safe Start Plan.
