Public Comment

Maria - Please re negotiate mask rules with union to remove mask wearing. The science has changed on masks. Masks are shown to contain bacteria and fungi. The virus size is smaller than medical mask defense, only protects against spitting. Currently countries with strictest mask mandates have highest no of cases. Masks do increase inhalation of CO2 which is damaging to brain. And we are all vaccinated. Please no more masks. 

II. Governance

A.

Board of Trustees Ad Hoc Election Committee

S Margiotta reported that the Board has received 2 resignations, Jack Seltzer and Amir Ebtehadj.  Both were due to new scheduling conflicts.  Both Board seats were community seats.  She clarified that since the 2021/2022 Election Committee was disbanded after the completion of its work during that respective school year, the Board of Trustees needs to create an Ad Hoc, Board of Trustees only, Committee to hold a Special Election in order to fill those seats in advance of our regular Board of Trustees Meeting.  A Paris, M Nance, S Margiotta, M Schilling and D Pickard volunteered to be on this Ad Hoc Committee.  It was noted that B King, past Election Committee Chair has agreed to transition and On Board this committee to facilitate the Special Election Process.
