The YPI Charter Schools (“Charter Schools”) welcome your participation at the Charter Schools’ Board meetings.  The purpose of a public meeting of the Board of Directors (“Board”0 is to conduct the affairs of the Charter Schools in public.  Your participation assures us of continuing community interest in our Charter Schools.

 

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.
 
Instructions for public comments at board meetings conducted via Zoom:

If you wish to make a public comment, please follow these instructions:
  1. A Google Form “sign-up” will be open to members of the public 30 minutes prior to the public meeting.  This Google Form will take the place of “speaker cards” available at meetings.  https://forms.gle/Hfm6BTFbqRuMrtCN8 
  2. Speakers will fill in their names and select if they wish to address the board regarding specific agenda item (5 minutes allotted) or a non-agenda item (3 minutes allotted).
  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.
