The following email from Kim Hackett provides an update on our upcoming Inbound and Outbound Youth Exchange Programs and our current Exchange Student to Austria, Erin Dewald:Good afternoon. You will not be surprised that I received an email regarding the Inbound and Outbound Youth Exchange programs. Due to the COVID pandemic and possible interruptions of future outbreaks, the program is cancelled for this school year. Our student, Gustav, was notified as well as the other 3 students for 7390. Needless to say this is a sad announcement but the decision was not made lightly. Thank you for your support of this program and hopefully this can be reviewed again for the next school year.Erin DeWald remains in Austria and is actually one of the few students from our District still in her exchange.Thank you,Kim--
