Dr. Scott Woolstenhulme presented revisions to reopening plan. The district is required by Idaho Code to follow the guidelines of
our local health department and Idaho Code 33-512(7) “to exclude from school, pupils with contagious or infectious diseases.”
Phase 3 revisions focus on specific online and instructional days for all students as long as key operations can remain in place:
transportation, child nutrition and classroom instruction. The district could enter into Phase 3 with high percentage of staff
absenteeism, substitute shortage and/or cancellation of bus routes. If mandatory social distancing is ordered by the health
department, an alternate day schedule will be implemented. Mandatory quarantine is in place for those staff or students with
positive test results, been exposed by close contact with infectious person, or develop symtoms of COVID -19. Quarantined
persons can return to work or school as determined by the public health department. Per the governor’s order, large gatherings
are to be limited to 50 persons; sport participants will be limited to those “necessary for the competition to occur” and spectators
limited to two family members per sport player. Cheer and band groups are not permitted to participate in sporting events. The
same guidelines apply to opponents. Dr. Woolstenhulme stated that through funding from the Governor, public health has made
rapid testing for COVID available to staff members of school districts. He urged all staff and students to stay home if showing any
COVID symptoms.
MOTION: Paul Jenkins moved to approve District 93 Reopening Plan Revison 2 as presented. Greg Calder seconded.
Discussion: Board members were concerned about quarantining healthy students, parents wanting their students to be at school,
and how it is affecting grades and learning. Dr. Woolstenhulme stated mask wearing has been well received.
Motion carried.
