6.C. Proposed Revision of Health and Safety Resolution
Speaker(s):
Jeff Pesta
Description:
A Health and Safety Resolution was put into place on October 6, 2021 requiring face coverings for all indoor activities. This was prior to the winter sports season. Visitors have consistently not been voluntarily compliant. This necessitates a choice between closing and ticketing winter sports events or transitioning to strongly recommending face coverings for visitors only. The recommendation is based on the fact that local case rates are currently declining. A more restrictive plan for after-school events may be necessary in the future due to changes in local public health data.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to introduce and approve the revised Health and Safety Resolution by roll call vote.

The expulsion would remain in place for the full 12 months and the student would transition between home-based instruction provided by the district to on-campus instruction for as long as the conditions are met.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to conditionally reinstate by majority vote.
