MODIFIED MEETING PROCEDURES DURING COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS ) PANDEMIC:

 

As per Executive Order N-29-20 from Governor Newsom, the meetings of the Board of Directors of the YPI Charter Schools will move to a virtual/teleconference environment using Zoom.  The purpose of the Governor’s executive order is to control the spread of Coronavirus and to reduce and minimize the risk of infection by “limiting attendance at public assemblies, conference, or other mass events.”  The Governor’s executive order on March 20, 2020, waived the requirement for a majority of board members to physically participate in a public board meeting at the same location.  The intent is not to limit public participation, but rather to protect public health by following the Governor’s Say at Home executive order and the Los Angeles County’s “Safer at Home” Order.

If you wish to make a public comment, please follow these instructions:

  3. Speakers are asked to attend the board meeting virtually through the Zoom invitation link on the top of the agenda.
  4. When it is time for the speaker to address the board, his/her name will be called by the Board Chair and the requesting speaker’s microphone will be activated.
