Eric proposed that the Board vote on a resolution to give Chuck Meadows (Executive Director) authority to close the school in certain circumstances.
The board discussed and revised the resolution so that it reads as follows:
In response to COVID-19 outbreak, the Board of the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (the "School") believes it to be in the best interest of the students, faculty, staff, and wider School community to empower the School's Executive Director, Chuck Meadows (the "ED"), to rapidly close the School, if necessary. To that end, and in the following instances, the ED shall be empowered to close the school for up to three weeks, or greater than three weeks if the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) shall remain closed longer than three weeks, upon the occurrence of: (1) the closure of APS, (2) the closure of at least two of the following school systems: (a) Fulton County Public Schools, (b) DeKalb County Public Schools, (c) City Schools of Decatur, (d) Cobb County Public Schools or (e) Gwinnett County Public Schools, and/or (3) a student, member of the faculty and staff, or a member of their immediate household have a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. This power shall expire at midnight on June 30, 2020.
