Respectfully Submitted,
S. Zephirin
Board reviewed concerns from our last discussion on removing the masking requirements:
* Liability insurance coverage--no longer a concern per consult with lawyers
* ODE guidance on quarantine-- quarantines now only required if you test positive for covid
Board agreed that it makes sense to follow the BSD guidelines on masking. A vote is not necessary as Michelle was already given authority to follow BSD Covid policies.
Board reviewed the letter that will go out to families about the new masking policy.
Board discussion on the possibility of encouraging families to send their kids to school with a mask if they have any suspected illness.
