This meeting is being held virtually because the Board, as a public governing body as that term is used under the OMA,  has determine that there is and continues to be a state of emergency at IAF and in Flint regarding COVID-19.  At present, the 7 day average of new COVID-19 cases in Genesee County is 99 cases per day.  If the May Board meeting were to happen at the school in person, Board members and third parties, in person attendance could potentially bring COVID-19 into the School and affect the health and welfare of the children who are not vaccinated and those teachers that have not been vaccinated or cannot be vaccinated because of a medical condition or religious beliefs.  While cleaning protocols could mitigate some of the risk, not all of the risk can be avoided and the risk at this time of compromising the unvaccinated teachers and children is not acceptable.  Accordingly, IAF is going to hold its May 17, 2021 meeting virtual.  A decision on how meetings from June, 2021 forward will be held will be made in advance of the meetings taking into consideration the CDC Guidelines, State of Michigan Guidelines, and City of Flint Guidelines, and all other information that can be provided.
