V.A. Virtual Meetings: Action Needed
Presenter:
C Johnson
Description:
At our last Board Meeting, we talked about doing this but we didn't take official action. The guidance from MSBA says that we can implement either by board action or that our Board Chair may take the necessary action. Everyone appeared to be on the same page during the discussion at our board meeting. Dawn Balow took action for us to move forward with virtual meetings. Does the board also want to take official board action at our tonight's Board Meeting.
Currently on the GCED Website SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Due to the current federal and state emergency declarations and guidance about limiting person-to-person contact due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, by action of the Dawn Balow, Board Chair, all future meetings of the Goodhue County Education District Board will be conducted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 13D.021—Meetings by Telephone or Other Electronic Means—until further notice. Due to the health pandemic, the school board has determined that it is not feasible for at least one board member, the superintendent, or the school district’s legal counsel to be physically present at the regular meeting location. It is also not feasible for the public to attend at the regular meeting location due to the health pandemic. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 13D.021, members of the public are not permitted to attend this meeting due to the current health pandemic. Meetings will be conducted using the Zoom Platform. Persons may monitor this meeting from a remote location by emailing Cindy Luhman, Administrative Assistant at cluhman@gced.k12.mn.us. Requests for public comment for school board meetings may be submitted to the same email address. |
