A.
Reopening of Ventura Charter School
Lisa and Mary made a brief presentation outlining COVID and vaccine updates. They reviewed a number of considerations for re-opening. They reported that teachers would be willing to return to in person instruction before getting vaccinated but would feel much better if we opened in the Red tier instead of the Purple tier. There was considerable discussion regarding the issues presented. Adam made a motion to re-open grades K-6 as soon as possible. There was no second.
Tricia McClain made a motion to reopen grades K-6 when Ventura County returns to the Red tier or by April 12th whichever comes first.
Liz Smiley seconded the motion.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
