Purpose:
This is an emergency meeting to discuss, debate, and adopt new COVID-19 protocols for the school. With the passing of Arizona’s new legislation that added Section 12, title 15, chapter 3 of the Arizona budget which states: “Notwithstanding any other law or order, a county, city, town, school district governing board or charter school governing body may not require the use of face coverings by students or staff during school hours and on school property; andA school district or charter school may not require a student or teacher to receive a vaccine for COVID-19 or to wear a face covering to participate in in-person instruction.” Da Vinci Tree Academy’s current policy of following CDC and AZDHS recommendations is now illegal.
Agenda (Emergency Meeting Called to Comply with New AZ Law):
Call to Order
Roll Call
3. Call to the Public
This is the time for the public to comment on issues within the Governing Boards jurisdiction. Speakers will be given one minute to share their comments. State statute prohibits the Governing Board from discussing an item that is not on the agenda and Governing Board members are not permitted to discuss or take legal action on matters raised during the call to the public, unless such matters are properly noticed for discussion and legal action. At the conclusion of each public comment, Arizona law only allows the Governing Board to respond to criticism, request that staff review a matter or request that a matter be added to a future agenda. The Public is discouraged from using this portion of the Agenda to make complaints against school personnel or persons connected with the Schools. Rather, the public is encouraged to use the Schools’ internal procedures for this purpose.
